The road is vague

Chapter 491 Fragments of the Heavenly Gate
"what?"

The moment Li Mo stepped into the trading venue, the three Xia Kingdom warriors sensed it and looked over with surprise.

Among the warriors of the Xia Kingdom, there is a technique called "Qi Observation".

At this moment, in the eyes of these three people, Li Mo was like a raging ball of lightning.

The three of them could tell at a glance that Li Mo also cultivated both body and mind, but he did not prove his Dao through force.

Master Jiuding noticed this and looked over as well.

"This is the Fate Master of the Road Guidance Bureau, a genius cultivator from the Great Qian Kingdom known as the Black Dog Old Monster. What do you three think?"

"This is no ordinary matter!"

An elderly man with a white beard and white eyebrows immediately gave an affirmative answer, and his expression was one of disbelief and solemnity.

"I never expected that this old monster Black Dog would also cultivate both body and spirit. His foundation is so strong that I have never seen anything like it in my life. Putting aside everything else, just in terms of the strength of his divine sense, in the entire Northern Circuit of Xia Kingdom, the only one who can match him is probably the current Northern Circuit King."

"He actually cultivates both body and spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jiuding looked at Li Mo with disbelief, his eyes twitching slightly.

He then gave a stiff smile.

"Master Beiling is too modest. Who doesn't know that Your Excellency is hailed as the number one person in the Yuling Sect and possesses a great treasure? Even the King of Beidao wouldn't dare to underestimate you, would he?"

The Mountain Moving and Ridge Controlling factions possess the skills to glimpse the secrets of heaven and locate dragon veins and determine the location of gold, and they frequently come into contact with unspeakable secrets.

This True Man of Beiling, known as the number one person of the Yuling Sect, has a wealth of background and is indeed one of the strongest in the northern region of Xia Kingdom.

Master Beiling shook his head and said no more.

Beside him stood a large-bellied monk with bare chest and exposed breasts, known as the Master of the Great Luo Cave, who, with an air of detached amusement, waved his palm-leaf fan.

"The Northern Dao Domain emphasizes the word 'comprehension.' This person's aura of thunder is lofty and boundless, even connected to the operation of heaven and earth. This clearly shows that he is in harmony with heaven and earth and has mastered some of the characteristics of the power to reach the heavens. Hmph, ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would probably find it difficult to contend with him."

Master Jiuding remained silent.

Then, with hopeful eyes, he looked at the last of the three Western Xia warriors who had come from afar.

There has always been a rumor in Xia Kingdom that the second-generation Ziwu Sword Saint of the Ling Kingdom Sword Sect perished together with the strongest Northern King in history.

The All-Sword Fighter is known as the closest to a Sword Saint in the Northern Domain. From his silent gaze fixed on Li Mo with a fighting spirit, it's clear that he only acts this way when facing a formidable enemy as a challenger.

the other side.

Like everyone else present, Li Mo was also sizing up the three of them.

"This white-browed, white-bearded fellow must be True Man Beiling. His divine sense is so strong, it's unbelievable. Moreover, the protective aura around his body is shining brightly, clearly a sign that he possesses a great treasure!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Mo's gaze shifted slightly.

"And that pot-bellied monk, whose physique is so strong that he is like a humanoid demon beast, would be difficult to harm with ordinary magic weapons. Moreover, a sense of oppression emanates from his body, as if his own order is in harmony with heaven and earth, and he can summon a part of the power that reaches the heavens."

At last.

When Li Mo looked at the silent, sharp-eyed swordsman and made brief eye contact with him, he felt a slight stinging sensation in his gaze.

Just like Lu Qi, this is something only someone with extremely profound sword cultivation could do.

"Such sharp sword intent, worthy of a full-fledged swordsman."

After admiring him in his heart, Li Mo fully realized the background and power of this Nine Cauldrons True Man. As a descendant of the strongest Northern Dao King, he must be carrying great opportunities and secrets.

"Cough cough."

As more and more Nascent Soul cultivators arrived, they all turned their attention to the three Western Xia martial artists. The Puppet Sect's Giant Mechanic Master was still in charge of the proceedings, and he coughed lightly.

"First, let us welcome our three fellow Daoists who have come from afar. We hope that through this small trade fair, you will experience the enthusiasm of the cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty. Let me begin. Well... I hope to exchange these puppets for a material called Seastone."

The Giant Machine True Man took out several beast soldier puppets, all of which were at the Golden Core stage. However, they were not infused with spiritual power at the moment, so these beast soldier puppets were only the size of a palm.

Li Mo was not interested in these beast-like puppet soldiers.

But when he heard that the other party wanted to exchange for Seastone, he couldn't help but show some surprise, but he didn't say anything. After looking around and seeing that no one responded, the Giant Machine Master couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Hehe, I wonder if it's possible to exchange something else for a real puppet?"

It turned out that Master Beiling was quite interested in this and took out several materials to trade. He didn't care about the others, but when Li Mo saw a fragment of a broken sword, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Fragments of the Heavenly Tower!!"

Li Luoyang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators, upon hearing the words "reaching the heavens," couldn't help but feel eager to try it out.

Upon seeing this, Master Beiling immediately picked up the broken sword fragment and explained with a smile.

"This is something I obtained more than a hundred years ago after venturing deep into an ancient battlefield in the Tianyuan Highlands. Although it is a fragment of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, its proportion is far too small. I have visited several master craftsmen and received the same answer: it is almost impossible to refine it into a Heaven-Reaching Remnant Treasure."

In the world of mountains and seas today, the so-called "heaven-reaching spiritual treasures" are all just imitations.

As for the so-called Tongtian Remnant Treasure, it can also be regarded as a kind of imitation spiritual treasure. However, the refining process is much simpler. The only requirement is that there must be a fragment of a real Tongtian spiritual treasure, and then the fragment can be completed with high-level materials with similar attributes.

As a master weapon refiner, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

However, the Giant Machine Master shook his head in the end. As a puppeteer, he was not interested in this fragment of treasure. Just as the deal was about to fall through, Li Mo suddenly reached out.

"I do have some Seastone."

Say it.

Li Mo took out some sea stone to display.

"However, I am not particularly interested in these puppets. Instead, I am quite interested in this fragment of the Heavenly Treasure. How about this: I will exchange these Seastones for Fellow Daoist Beiling's fragment, and Fellow Daoist Beiling will then use the Seastones to trade for Fellow Daoist Juxie's puppet?"

After some discussion, the three of them finally completed the transaction.

Back in the Forbidden Sea, Li Mo collected quite a lot of Seastone, intending to use it as material for creating a forbidden trap to protect his cave. Unexpectedly, he ended up exchanging it for a fragment of the Heavenly Passage.

Holding this seemingly hard and cold, yet actually warm and smooth, broken sword fragment in his hand, Li Mo seemed to vaguely see scenes of ancient wars. Those colossal beings, hundreds of feet tall, unleashed their heaven-reaching spiritual treasures with their true power, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. He was immediately startled and revealed a hint of surprise.

"Hehe, it seems Fellow Daoist Li has also sensed the killing intent within this fragment."

Master Beiling smiled slightly. "It's just a pity that this fragment is too small. It's almost impossible to draw out the power of order within it for one's own use. It can only be used as material for enlightenment."

"kindness."

Li Mo nodded, said nothing more, and carefully put the material away.

For him, even losing some Seastone was nothing, but as a master craftsman, even if he couldn't use the material for a while, it wouldn't be a waste to keep it in his hands.

that's it.

As this small-scale trade fair, limited to Nascent Soul cultivators within the camp, came to an end, everyone got to know each other and dispersed. Li Mo then approached the Bloodsucking Demon and arranged to venture into the Nine Caves a month later.

During this period, the old demon needs to make some good preparations.

After receiving strong support from the Xia Kingdom, Master Jiuding also began to take action against the Hidden Dragon Organization. This made Master Zhuri, who was competing with him, and Shenjizi of the Divine Machine Sect who supported him, feel anxious and frequently contacted Master Zhuri.

Regardless of the circumstances, the ever-increasing strength of the Qian Kingdom's army is undeniable.

the other side.

Deep within the Entangling Silk Palace, the Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal finally obtained Li Mo's information.

The more it looked, the more terrified it became; its six eyes flickered between light and darkness.

After wandering around in confusion for a long time, the scorpion let out a cold sigh, then couldn't help but cough lightly, spitting out a few broken scorpions from its mouth, which turned into a wisp of poisonous smoke and dissipated.

"The Lord of the Road, the Black Dog Monster... the Lord of Chaos Thunder!"

With a sharp squeeze of its pincers, Li Mo's intelligence was corroded by the poisonous smoke and vanished into thin air. The scorpion, severely injured by Li Mo, decided to keep a low profile for a while and return to the underground world to quietly recuperate in order to plan for the future.

The power of the Qian Kingdom is truly immense.

Unless all the Gu Immortals in the underground world come out in droves, it is impossible to change the war situation in Miao territory.

Even a powerful being like this Black Dog Monster, a terrifying figure that even after activating its Holy Shell, couldn't defeat, was only barely ranked among the top in the Qian Kingdom.

Even the arrogant creature had to admit that its temporary reinforcements of Gu Immortals were no match for the Qian Kingdom's army.

The reason why the Qian Kingdom's army deliberately slowed down the pace of the war was obviously because they were concerned about the Gu Immortals in the underground world and wanted to minimize their own casualties.

On the one hand, the Qian Kingdom continuously dispatched, instructed, and trained various artisans to promote etiquette and morality in the Miao region. On the other hand, it tried to suppress the conflict with overwhelming force to avoid violent clashes in a short period of time, allowing those Gu worm masters, Gu immortals, and extraterrestrial forces who had no will to fight to the death to flee on their own, thus reducing the resistance to the reconquest.

Think of this.

The Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal left the cave with heavy steps.

It planned to go to the Thousand Bamboo Hall of the Silk-Entwining Palace to pay a visit to the Holy Maiden Thousand Streams who had summoned it there, as a way of saying goodbye.

However, at that moment, it suddenly noticed two people walking by in a hurry, looking very anxious.

"The person who hides dragons?"

Scorpion happens to know something about these secretive creatures.

After establishing the unified Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancient cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm greatly increased their strength. They united with several surrounding worlds and created a magnificent scene of all nations paying tribute. They launched a siege against the two descending evil immortals. As the great enemy of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mother Nest Realm was extremely conflicted about this.

On the one hand, many ancient insect ancestors were afraid that after the two evil immortals destroyed the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mother Nest Realm would become the next victim.

On the other hand, the ancient insect ancestors were worried that after the Mountain and Sea Realm eliminated these two evil immortals, it would launch a large-scale attack on the Mother Nest Realm with even greater strength.

So the many insect ancestors eventually devised a plan.

If the Mountain and Sea Realm defeats one of the evil immortals, then the Mother Nest Realm will stop at nothing to prevent the Mountain and Sea Realm from defeating the other evil immortal. The direct descendants of the ancient Insect Ancestor will devour and seal this evil immortal, thus giving birth to a new Insect Ancestor, or even an existence that surpasses the Insect Ancestor...

It was precisely because of the intrusion of the Mother Nest Realm.

The ancient war in the Mountain and Sea Realm went awry, and the two evil immortals were not completely wiped out. The Mother Nest Realm also suffered heavy losses as a result, and could only rely on the Heavenly Might Ancestral Nest to establish an underground world, which became the source of all Gu worms in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The so-called Hidden Dragon Organization was a secret organization established by a cultivator of the Yin-Yang Sect after the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They intended to restore the Great Zhou Dynasty and had even established the Later Zhou Kingdom, but it was destroyed.

During the height of the Seven Stars Alignment and the strongest order of the Mountain and Sea Realm, this Void Refinement cultivator secretly entered the underground world, attempting to collect some materials related to the Heavenly Order for his own use, but was frightened away by the aura of the Heavenly Might Mother Nest.

"The number of high-level creatures on this main continent will soon exceed the critical value. At that time, this world will stop operating. Only one sub-ancestor needs to descend to regain control of the Heavenly Might Mother Nest and guide us back to the Mother Nest Realm."

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but get a little excited.

In the present world of Shan Hai, there may still be a few beings at the Integration stage, but the surrounding world regards Shan Hai as a calamity to be avoided at all costs and will not accept them. Only death awaits them!
I am different; I am a descendant of the noble Mother Nest Realm.

After arriving at the bamboo house of the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Streams, the Scorpion quickly confirmed that the Hidden Dragon Organization was indeed in trouble.

"Nine Cauldrons Immortal, a martial artist from the Xia Kingdom?"

After learning a little about it, Scorpion couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Whether they were Western Xia warriors who proved their Dao through force or demons from the underworld, they could not escape the fate of perishing along with this continent.

"Do you really want to leave?"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Streams tried to persuade the other party to stay.

She was like a beauty who had stepped out of a painting, with skin as white as snow, giving people a sense of unreality.

This scorpion-like Gu Immortal was arguably the strongest Gu Immortal she had summoned. If even it chose to leave, she didn't know what the point of this war would be. The local forces of Miao territory alone were simply no match for the invasion of the Qian Kingdom's army.

"it's useless."

Scorpio responded coldly and ruthlessly.

“As you know, we in the Mother Nest Realm don’t believe in miracles, we only believe in absolute strength. The Qian Kingdom’s army is simply too strong. Now that they’ve lost the Golden Gu Token, they can’t summon even stronger Gu Immortals from the underground world. You alone cannot possibly hold out.”

"What if I told you there's another Golden Gu Token?"

The words of the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Streams greatly surprised the Scorpion.

"There's one more? If that's the case, perhaps there's still a sliver of a chance..."

These Golden Gu Tokens contain the heaven-reaching power of the Mother Nest Realm, casually condensed by the ancient insect ancestors. They represent the original quality of the Mother Nest Realm and are of great use for future plans.

As for the Silver Gu Token, its quality is relatively low, and it can only be used as a means of self-preservation.
