After receiving the Martial God’s Overbearing Body system reward, Li Muyang once again began to tackle the fourth stage of ‘Deadly Weed.’


    He could no longer enter ‘The Call of the Mountains.’


    Now, Li Muyang suddenly found himself with some free time.


    ‘Deadly Weed’ is an unlimited-time game, and the cultivation process of the fourth stage is extremely long, so there’s no need to rush.


    After all, rushing wouldn’t make it happen any faster.


    With the perfectpletion of ‘The Call of the Mountains’, Li Muyang finally didn’t have to hole up in the inn ying games every day.


    He had epted his little sister’s invitation to travel out of the city.


    In the following days, he, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan’er traveled around the ancient temples and famous mountains near Tianjiao City, enjoying the scenery, tasting local delicacies, and experiencing the local customs and culture of Tianjiao City.


    During this time, Li Muyang and his sister learned about thetest developments of the mission from Ning Wan’er.Under the relentless pressure of the Demonic Sect, the old valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and was forced topromise, handing over three cities under his control to the Demon Refining Sect.


    This originally small demonic force suddenly became a baremander, with only the Chaotic Souls Valley left as its territory.


    After the Blood Lotus Sect spy was caught, they were interrogated under severe torture for several days but nothing was revealed.


    In the end, Yan Xiaoru personally took action, using soul-searching techniques.


    While the Blood Lotus Sect spy turned into an idiot, the Demon Refining Sect finally learned the whereabouts of the immortal weapon.


    It turned out that the soon-to-emerge immortal weapon was currently in the hands of the Blood Lotus Sect.


    But the immortal weapon was still in slumber, not yet awakened, and now it needed a catalyst, which was the divine horn in Tianjiao City.


    It was said that the broken horn of the divine spirit was needed to awaken the sleeping immortal weapon.


    –The name of Tianjiao (Heavenly Horn) Cityes from the divine horn within the city.


    Though the horn is broken and damaged, it holds mysterious and mighty power.


    Now, this broken horn stands erect in the city, tightly sealed off by the Demon Refining Sect, a forbidden area in the city.


    The Blood Lotus Sect wanted the divine horn, but they had already rmed the Demon Refining Sect.


    Subsequently, several skirmishes broke out within Tianjiao City.


    The most severe one even disturbed Yan Xiaoru, who personally took action.


    Li Muyang’s ‘vacation’ with the two of them was forcibly ended, and they began to join the search teams in the city, looking for the Blood Lotus Sect demons hidden within.


    However, those Blood Lotus Sect demons could disguise themselves as ordinary people without any cultivation, and once they blended into the crowd, it was difficult to find them.


    In the vast Tianjiao City, with a poption of over a million, it was incredibly difficult to find the Blood Lotus Sect cultivators hidden within.


    As the days of searching went by, time flew by quickly.


    Unknowingly, Li Muyang had already been in Tianjiao City for three months.


    ……


    Inside Tianjiao City, the strife was unending.


    While outside the city, in the Sea of Mist, the fog rose and the seawater churned, remaining a forbidden zone for cultivators.


    Beyond the Sea of Mist, across the vast distance, in the southwestern mountains of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.


    In the county town of Lijiang County, Fairy Liuli had just read a few lines of the old general’s notes when she suddenly realized something and quickly turned around to look for someone.


    “Lord Wuming!”


    She called softly, but the mysterious constable was no longer in the study.


    Fairy Liuli hurried out of the study and looked around the courtyard.


    However, the courtyard under the sunlight was empty, without a trace of that person.


    The white-robed sorcerer who came to help search stepped outside the house, looked around in surprise, and said, “Did Mr. Guan go to the restroom?”


    How did he disappear in the blink of an eye…


    Fairy Liuli sighed softly, a hint of loss shing in her eyes.


    “Lord Wuming has left.”


    She said softly.


    Just like in Loushan City, he appeared suddenly, apanied her through trials and tribtions, and then disappeared abruptly after everything had settled.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    He wanted no reward, no fame, and left without a trace, deeply concealing his contributions and name.


    Leaving behind only a stack of thick documents…


    ……


    Three dayster, in the imperial capital of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.


    Under the night sky, the capital city was unusually quiet and silent.


    The wide streets were devoid of people, with only the footsteps of soldiers and the imperial guards on patrol.


    The bustling and lively Tianyuan imperial capital was now rarely under curfew.


    It was all because of the increasingly severe bandit problem in the southeastern region.


    The demons of the Blood Demon Sect took advantage of the bandit uprising and had now be a major concern for the empire.


    There were even rumors that the demons of the Blood Demon Sect were nning to assassinate the Emperor, hence the rare implementation of the curfew in the imperial capital.


    Now, in the brightly lit imperial pce, reports from the front lines flew into the court like snowkes, keeping everyone busy.


    But on a high tform in the southeastern corner of the imperial capital, it was quiet and serene, seemingly unaffected by the outside world.


    On the tform, the head of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau suddenly opened his eyes.


    A figure stood in front of him, hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the night view of the imperial capital.


    A smile appeared on the old face of the head.


    “…You haven’t been to this observatory for decades, Master Qingye.”


    Master Qingye, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, not turning to look at the head with a face full of wrinkles.


    “You should have read the ‘Evil God Inspection Report.''”


    Ignoring the old head’s teasing, Master Qingye, with ck hair and starry eyebrows, stood like an immortal from a painting, with his long beard fluttering and an air of detachment.


    His tone was so calm that no emotion could be detected.


    “What are your thoughts?”


    Under the starry sky, the observatory fell silent for a long while.


    The old head seemed to be stumped by the question and did not answer for a long time.


    After a while, the old man’s ambiguous sigh was heard.


    “…It’s terrifying.”


    The old man murmured softly.


    Master Qingye’s face remained expressionless.


    “You are the current director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and you feel fear? Your status is not inferior to the ancient evil deities in the Ancient Grudge Well… Why should you be afraid?”


    But the old man sighed softly, shaking his head: “Senior Qingye misunderstands, it’s not the evil deities I fear.”


    “Although the evil deities in the Ancient Grudge Well are terrifying, they are trapped beneath the well, unable to return to the human world, and cannot cause cmity in the short term.”


    “What truly frightens me is that mysterious Lord Wuming…”


    The director murmured with aplex tone.


    Master Qingye fell silent for a moment: “…With your mastery of the celestial arts, can you observe the stars and calcte the origins of this person?”


    The director shook his head again: “I cannot calcte him… This person’s past, present, and future seem to be obscured by ayer of fog. Even with my skills, I cannot calcte any trace of him.”


    “He seems like a piece of driftwood in this world, appearing with the wind and vanishing just as quickly, mysterious and unpredictable.”


    “This person might be a great practitioner beyond our imagination, who has concealed the heavenly secrets with supreme divine power, allowing him to deceive the heavens and aplish astonishing feats.”


    “Or perhaps he is someone who survived the ancient catastrophe…”


    The director spoke softly, his eyes and brows lowered.


    Master Qingyepsed into silence.


    “A deity from ancient times who survived the cmity…”


    He had once in an ancient deity but was also aware of the terror of the ancient deities.


    If this Wuming truly was an ancient deity, his divine power and status would definitely far surpass the false deity he had in…
