The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 472 - The Void-breaking Realm

Chapter 472 The Void-breaking Realm

“That’s what has happened. Miss Daji has gone to outer space.”
In the Temple of Devils, the demon master, Little Demon, entertained Li Mu with courtesy. Then, he explained, “Miss Daji is from the Nine-tailed Bloodline and so has a distinguished status. She’s been selected by the patriarch of the White Fox Star to learn the Nine-tailed Immortal Method. She now has a future of limitless potential. Don’t worry about her, Sage Li. Even I envy the fate of Miss Daji very much.”
Li Mu asked, “Is that a decision she made of her free will, or did you force her into it?”
Little Demon replied frankly, “At first, the little girl was reluctant to leave because of you, and she called you Daddy Li. But later, after hearing out our explanation, she understood that learning powerful Magic Arts and cultivating skills could help you. Then, she decided to go of her own accord.”
Li Mu snapped, “She’s just a little girl. How could you lead her on with such a lie?”
Little Demon smiled and said, “What Sage Li just said is not correct. The Nine-tailed Clan enjoys a long history in the universe and has great power. The little girl is quite talented, and she has been spotted and valued by the White Fox Clan’s patriarch. That is a kind of fate. If she can achieve success in cultivation in the future and become remarkably strong to dominate her own destiny, won’t that be great? If you take advantage of her affection for you and keep her here, it will really delay her progress. You can’t expect a child to understand what really matters. So, as adults, we sometimes have to make the choice for the child, don’t we?”
Li Mu’s brows furrowed.
He stood up and marched toward the gate of the Temple of Devils.
“You took her away. If anything happens to her in the future, I hope that you can take responsibility with your smart tongue like today. And tell the White Fox Clan to treat Daji well for me. After I step into the universe, I will definitely pay a visit to her.”
When Li Mu’s words came out, his figure already vanished from the spot.
Little Demon looked thoughtful, and finally, he revealed a hint of surprise.
The strength Li Mu showed at that very moment was far stronger than the rumor had out there. Perhaps no one in that world could really hold him in check. He had surely held firmly onto the throne of power.
“Seems that I have to warn the devil races to behave themselves in the future and be careful not to provoke anyone in Taibai City. The entire Divine Land will be under the influence of the power of Taibai City for the foreseeable future.”

When Li Mu returned to Taibai City, he made some arrangements before he decided to do another closed-door training.
Now that he had already experienced some extraordinarily mysterious things, he could start to prepare for leaving that planet and returning to Earth.
The government affairs in the city would be handled by Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng, and the others.
As for Qing Feng, he began to sort out everyone’s gains from the trip to the Tomb of the God of Sin, and to continuously study the mysterious secrets in the assorted Taoist Treasures, as well as the secret books, Cultivation Methods, and tactical deployment in the various storage instruments Li Mu obtained after he killed all those extraterrestrial cultivators.
The Four Men’s Symphony did not leave Li Mu. Instead, they stayed in Taibai City and began to practice the Cultivation Method of the Hun Yuan Sect. They still served Li Mu, regarding him as their master, and guarded Taibai City.
Although the strength of the four was merely average among the extraterrestrial cultivators, they were top-notch experts in that world. They had no fear of any adversary there. And when the four of them joined forces, they would probably be able to dominate that planet.
In the Western Qin Empire, Emperor Qin Ming and the supporters of the extraterrestrial sects behind him were all killed in the Tomb of the God of Sin. As the throne was unoccupied for the moment, the little prince, Qin Zheng, gradually came to prominence.
The Northern Song Empire still had a million things undone. The capital was waiting to be rebuilt. And the feudal separatist rule had not been completely altered.
However, Wang Shiyu never returned to Taibai County. Instead, she chose to stay in the Northern Song to help her stepfather, Lord Virtuous the Eighth. As she could not cultivate, she knew it was meaningless to come to such a blessed place as Taibai City. Li Mu respected her choice and sent guards to protect her in secret.
With the disappearance of Jiang Qingluan, Lord Qu, the Southern Chu Empire became more and more chaotic. The battles among the lords were endless. Well, that was the normality of the empire.
Meanwhile, the Great Moon Empire gained a foothold in the ten cities and nine places and began to make provision for rejuvenation.
But thanks to the orders issued by Li Mu before, the various sects, ambitious schemers, and overt and covert forces did not dare to make any trouble. They just meekly maintained the status quo while waiting for opportunities.
Though the dynasties changed and the major events developed, Li Mu did not bother to pay attention to those things anymore.
He devoted himself to his closed-door training, pursuing martial arts, cultivating the Five Emperors’ Immortality Scriptures, and practicing the broadsword-using techniques.
The journey to Tomb of the God of Sin was extremely enlightening for Li Mu.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Li Mu practiced broadsword-using methods and Qi-refining ways every day in the Knife Hut. Day after day, year after year, he confined himself to the training room and almost never went beyond the Knife Hut.
There were legends about Li Mu all over the world, but Li Mu was nowhere to be found.
Even though he was not venturing in Jianghu, there were tales about him in Jianghu.
No one knew how powerful Li Mu really was in that no one ever dared to challenge him.
In the past two years, Taibai City had become more and more prosperous. Owing to the abundant Spiritual Qi, it had become the most blessed place in the world, attracting countless martial arts geniuses to come to join Li Mu’s force. As for the arrival of the newcomers, Li Mu raised no objection.
The trend of learning martial arts was popular in the city, and outstanding talents emerged in large numbers. Even so, the order in the city was well maintained.
Feng Yuanxing and the others were in charge of government affairs, while Qing Feng and Ming Yue handled affairs in Jianghu.
In the past two years, Qing Feng had stunned countless people with his exceptional prematureness and wisdom.
He picked some suitable candidates and taught them all the knowledge he had accumulated on Cultivation Methods, alchemy, tactical deployment, and so on. By putting their brains together and according to their feedback, Qing Feng reorganized his knowledge system, and kept summarizing, and improving it.
The work he had done showed his wisdom and earned him great merit.
Also, his strength, cultivation, knowledge, wisdom, charm, ability, and dignity were growing rapidly. He was now called “Young Master Sage” by the people in Jianghu. And he seemed to have the majesty to command the entire Jianghu.
As for Ming Yue, as the Grand Master of the Beggar Gang, she traveled in Jianghu with the Husky and did good deeds. But of course, her main purpose was to taste all the delicacies and drink all the fine wine in the world.
She was a powerful cultivator, and the Husky was quite fierce. Besides, the Beggar Gang made her well-informed and never short of servants. Moreover, given Li Mu and Qing Feng’s awe-inspiring reputation, few people on the Divine Land dared to pick on the girl or the dog. Gradually, the two made their name known. Ming Yue earned the title “Divine Dog Chivalrous Lady”. But neither Ming Yue nor the Husky liked the title very much. Every time they heard it, they would go crazy.
At the end of the second year of Li Mu’s closed-door training, with the help of Qin Zhen, the eldest princess, and the mysterious Fairy of Ninth Heaven, Qin Zheng, the youngest prince, finally took the throne. After the grand inauguration ceremony in the Imperial Palace of Qin City, Qin Zheng officially became the new emperor of the Western Qin Empire.
Qin Zheng changed the era name into Qingping. That year also became the first year of the Qingping era of the Western Qin. People addressed that 14-year-old young ruler “Emperor Qin Qingping”.
Lord Qu, Jiang Qingluan, who was locked up in Taibai City, was almost driven mad in the dark dungeon where no daylight could spill in. He had required to see Li Mu many times, but every time his requirement was denied. He never knew that he would end up like this after being caught.
At first, he thought that Li Mu would interrogate him in person and investigate the matter of the organization comprised of black-clothed men. He even prepared various versions of confession. But to his disappointment, he had simply been detained, Li Mu was too busy to pay a visit to him. The dark days without daylight were simply the most terrible torture in the world. In the end, in order to see a ray of sunshine, or to smell the fragrance of grass, he confessed a lot of things of his own accord…
As time slowly lapsed, many people came to notice a strange phenomenon.
The Spiritual Qi on that planet began to become richer.
This kind of richness was not a phenomenon in a specific city or country. Instead, it appeared across the entire Divine Land, including the extreme south, the vast pasture, and many other barbaric places. The Spiritual Qi in those places began to grow rich.
Plants began to grow wildly, birds tended to gain intelligence, and beasts started to be enlightened.
In terms of the impact on human beings, the ordinary people’s physique began to change, their strength increased, and their lifespan stretched. For martial arts cultivators, their cultivation speed was several times faster than before. Many bottlenecks that they could not overcome before were easily broken through. Nowadays, it was not very difficult for them to cultivate internal qi and natural qi.
As time went by, more and more cultivators broke through the Natural Expert Realm. Celestial Beings and Sages emerged one after another!
The Spiritual Qi of the world was recovering.
That was the explanation given by Young Master Sage in Taibai City, the Holy Land of martial arts in the Divine Land.
The Spiritual Qi was much like tides. There were ebbs and flows. In the past thousands of years, the Spiritual Qi on the Divine Land had been ebbing before finally falling to the bottom level. But now, the situation had picked up as the land had entered another flow period of the Spiritual Qi.
The density of Spiritual Qi could affect many creatures, as well as the laws of heaven and earth.
An age with surging Spiritual Qi was bound to be a golden age for martial arts.
In the third year of Li Mu’s closed-door training, which was also the fifth year since he came to that world, an expert in the Void-breaking Realm finally appeared on the Divine Land.
It was a nameless expert in a devil race. He was a nobody before and had been cultivating in the divine mountains. One day, he made a breakthrough and started undergoing a tribulation in the 100,000 mountains, causing the world to shake and the clouds to gather from all directions. Countless people had been attracted there to observe him.
The whole process of undergoing the tribulation was extremely terrifying. This nameless devil expert was once engulfed by the raging thunder and lightning, disappearing into a sea of lightning. At that critical moment, the heavenly lightning showed signs of lack of strength due to some mysterious reason. In the end, the mysterious devil expert miraculously survived the tribulation.
After that, he launched a blow, which produced a crack in the void, revealing a black background and flickering stars. It appeared that through the crack one could go to a mysterious and brand new world.
The Void-breaking Realm!
When those countless experts in that world watched the scene from afar, their hearts beat wildly and they were totally intoxicated.
“Is that the legendary Extraterrestrial Immortal Realm behind the crack?”
It was a martial arts myth that had never been seen in ages, and a wonder in martial arts society. But they had the good fortune to see one with their own eyes?
During the process of fighting against the Divine Tribulation, the devil expert displayed his real form, which was a golden-winged roc. In the end, he succeeded in passing the tribulation, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he chose to stay in the Divine Land for the time being to stabilize his realm.
Because of the recovery of Spiritual Qi, the energy capacity of that world had obviously increased, and so it could “house” an aboriginal expert in the Void-breaking Realm.
Soon, a heated debate swept across the Divine Land.
Many people were debating and speculating which one was stronger between that golden-winged roc in the Void-breaking Realm and Li Mu, the number one martial art practitioner on the land.
Neither side could persuade the other, and both of the candidates had their own supporters.
As the debate went on, in less than a month, the second Void-breaking expert appeared on the Divine Land. He was a genius from an ancient family of the human race. He had long shown his talent and successfully went through the tribulation and ripped the void as well.
Like the golden-winged roc, he also chose to stay on the Divine Land to consolidate his cultivation.
But it was obvious that he was much more arrogant than the first one.
“I will be invincible in the world, and I’ll make all the experts in this world submit to my powers.”
