Chapter 522 Treasure Houses
The vicious black dragon had stayed on Earth for four years.
He first arrived in a blessed Heaven through the space-time vortex in it and then went out and came to Earth.
The reason why he successfully landed on Earth was that he was born strong. When traveling through the Heaven, he managed to resist the Divine Tribulation solely with his physical strength before stepping onto Earth.
However, it was precisely due to the Divine Tribulation that his strength had been severely slashed. He was so gravely injured that he had to hide and rest before carrying out his plan. Unfortunately, as the Spiritual Qi on Earth was too thin, the recovery speed was very slow. So, he had to secretly bamboozle some local people to use the terrorist group to kill the living creatures and wage wars. In this way, he could devour blood and resentment to pick up his strength.
That was also why Li Mu noticed that the area was enveloped by Evil Qi before.
This wicked dragon was obviously aware that his plan would cause him to be trapped on Earth, but he still insisted to land on the Earth with exhausted Spiritual Qi at all costs, which kind of puzzled Li Mu.
In addition, Li Mu still felt waves of lingering fear after the battle.
This vicious dragon’s real cultivation had reached the peak of the Soldier Realm, who was just one step away from entering the General Realm. He was absolutely the strongest cultivator Li Mu had ever encountered in his life—except for the monstrous existence like Fairy Emperor of Light, of course. If the black dragon had recovered from his injury, Li Mu would have been forced to take to his heels this time.
Anyway, he had gained a lot from killing the evil dragon.
Because there were a ton of treasures on this black dragon.
The number of five-colored fairy crystals he carried alone amounted to 20,000, which was a huge fortune in outer space.
In addition, there were also a large number of weapons and armor in the evil dragon’s Space Ring. The ancient armor worn by the Middle East Black Orchid was one of the treasures. Well, of course, it was at the lowest level. The vicious dragon was very cunning. He did not disclose all secrets even to his believers, nor did he entrust them with precious weapons. The rise of the True God Sect and the millions of believers the sect recruited in the past few years were just tools for him.
But surely, the weapons and suits of armor were not what Li Mu valued the most.
What Li Mu appreciated were some Cultivation Methods the evil dragon had cultivated. The methods mentioned the idea of how to enter the General Realm after passing the Life and Death Bridge. This was undoubtedly great enlightenment for Li Mu. Moreover, there was also a secret book the evil dragon carried with him, which recorded numerous things he had experienced in his life. Most importantly, it recorded his experience of traveling through the Heaven and some insights he gained from it. There were also some deductions on how to use the resources in the Heaven and how to travel through the space-time vortex to return to his own planet.
He was an evil dragon that liked writing diaries.
It was a good habit.
It was no wonder that the mad terrorists, such as Molan, the Middle East Black Orchid, were able to violate the rules of the Heaven and capture Luo Xuanxin and the other five survivors of the Chinese cultivators from the Qinling Heaven. This was all attributable to the methods the evil dragon had come up with.
Li Mu carefully put away the book.
He would pore through it another time.
The rest of the crystals and treasures were, of course, collected as well.
At this time, the entire Baghdad had turned into a pile of rubble.
A year ago, this city had become the headquarters of the True God Sect. After being managed by Molan and the others for more than a year, the city was filled by terrorists only. People who lived in this city were either mercenary who had killed countless people or members of terrorist organizations that cooperated with the True God Sect as well as forces that allied with those terrorist organizations. There were no innocent civilians in the city. Therefore, though the casualties in the city were heavy after the battle, the dead were absolutely unworthy of the other’s sympathy.
Stepping on the ruins, Li Mu made his way to the square in the training camp.
Luo Xuanxin and the other five Chinese cultivators were already starving and dispirited by the time. But when they saw Li Mu finally appear, they breathed a sigh of relief anyway.
“Senior, are you all right?”
“Is that Black Dragon dead?”
“Senior, do you need medical treatment?”
These people were also quite worried before, especially when they saw the evil dragon’s detrimental power. They were all astounded by it, reckoning that it was not a level that human beings could imagine at all. The martial arts that they were so proud of before were just lame tricks in front of such magical power.
“I’m. Find a way to contact our country to spread the news.”
Li Mu withdrew the tactical deployment that had protected them.
The cultivators then busied themselves with work.
The beautiful woman named Luo Xuanxin had already turned into a half-member of the Blood Race after being bitten by Prince Stock. However, after Stock was killed by Li Mu, Luo Xuanxin stopped acting like a mad blood-sucker and seemed an ordinary person. Perhaps it was because she was created by the prince of the vampires, or for some other reason, she was immune to the sunlight. Thus, Luo Xuanxin was not afraid of the sunlight at all.
After careful examination, Li Mu found that the power of the Blood Race in her body had spread into all her limbs and bones and even merged with her soul. It was almost impossible to help her remove this power of Blood Race now.
The Blood Race must have a unique background. They were by no means native creatures on Earth.
“Senior, I can’t return to a real human being anymore, can I?” When Luo Xuanxin saw Li Mu’s expression, her heart sank to her stomach. She began, “I was in a coma at that time, so I didn’t know I was bitten by that vampire. It wasn’t until the blood in my body was activated that I realized it, but I didn’t have time to warn you…”
The girl was very regretful and guilty at the fact that she had been manipulated by Prince Stock to sneak attack Li Mu despite herself and had stabbed Li Mu with the Angel Sting.
Li Mu smiled and said, “It’s all right. That kind of sneak attack didn’t hurt me at all.”
He took out the Angel Sting and refined it with Emperors’ Fire, completely removing the power of the wronged souls that would temper the user’s mind. Then, he handed the weapon to Luo Xuanxin and said, “This weapon suits you very well.”
Luo Xuanxin took the “Angel Sting”. With a hesitant look on her face. she remarked, “Senior, I’ve already become a monster. I fear that I might lose control over myself and do something horrible… Senior, why didn’t you kill me? Kill me now. Get rid of the vile and defend the good.” At the end of the day, she could not accept the fact that she had become a vampire.
“Haha, what era are we in? You, a young girl, are still so conservative. Remember, there is no clear cut between good and evil. Your mind is not affected by this blood qi. As long as you can distinguish what is right and what is wrong and always do the chivalrous thing, you are still a chivalrous cultivator.” Li Mu said. Then, a glittering blood bead emerged in his palm, and he said, “This drop of blood contains endless power of blood vigor. It was extracted from Prince Stock and refined by me. It is the purest and can help you improve your strength.”
He raised his hand, injecting this drop of blood into Luo Xuanxin.
Luo Xuanxin was shocked and uncertain. Li Mu then added, “According to my observation, the Blood Race is not monstrous. It may be an alien clan with great wisdom. What happened to you may be a good thing. I will give you a hand today by teaching you a Cultivation Method that can help you absorb the power in this drop of blood, which can help you refine the blood in your body.”
This Cultivation Method was the one that Li Mu had obtained from Saint of Blood Sea’s subordinate.
The Blood Sea was a large faction in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Its Cultivation Method was similar to that of the Blood Race, and Li Mu had also tapped into that field before.
After hearing the words of Li Mu, who was already a God-like idol to her, Luo Xuanxin finally felt a little relieved.
What she feared most was not death, but the fact that she had become a monster ostracized by human society.
After imparting the Blood Sea Mercy Sailing Scripture to Luo Xuanxin, Li Mu began to “clean” the battlefield.
The damaged underground fortification of the True God Sect that had been exposed in the crack was only the tip of the iceberg. After entering through the crack, Li Mu found out that it was divided into various areas. Some were places to conduct inhuman experiments upon living men and women. Some were weapon experimental sites. The others were armor design venues, torture rooms, combat rooms, staff advisor rooms…
Apart from these items, there were also large storage rooms for treasures.
The several huge warehouses located at the bottom of underground fortification stored all the wealth the True God Sect had accumulated over so many years.
In these warehouses lay a large amount of gold, dollars, and the most advanced weapons of the present age, as well as various kinds of nuclear fuel.
Moreover, there was a large number of cultivation resources plundered from the Heavens. Owing to the black dragon, the True God Sect had obtained a variety of herbs and fruit from the Heavens, which could be said to be in the largest amount in the world. Besides, there were various mineral resources containing Spiritual Qi in the warehouses, which could be used for cultivation. The precious resources piled up like small mountains.
Even though Li Mu had experienced a lot, he was also taken aback when he saw so many treasures before him.
“Though these things are ordinary wealth and are useless to me, they can play an important role in our country and Chinese martial arts society. It will enhance the national strength and foster more high-ranking masters.”
Without hesitation, Li Mu put all the treasures into a piece of storage jade.
When he emptied the underground fortification and came out, Luo Xuanxin and the others came up and said jubilantly, “Senior, we have contacted the government, and sent them the news about the battle here.”
Li Mu nodded and said, “Good job.”
He was very cool with it. Yet, he had no idea that in the domestic Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, many people had been too excited to calm down at the news.
Li Mu also put away the dead black dragon.
After all, he was a member of the Dragon Tribe. Every part of his body was valuable. Li Mu planned to give it to Qing Feng to study so that they would make good use of it.
Li Mu released his Broadsword Intent Zone and carefully observed the entire Baghdad, lest he let any of the experts amongst the terrorists slip through his fingers.
Soon, he discovered a fish that had escaped the net—the black-robed leader with a scepter that had once appeared in the Desert Camel’s black mirror. To Li Mu’s surprise, the man was still alive and was merging with the crude oil in an oil pool in the city. It seemed that he was the Crude Oil, one of the four super-powerful terrorists.
A broadsword light flashed by and killed the man straight away.
After spending some more time searching, Li Mu killed all the surviving terrorists in Baghdad without mercy.
What was more, Li Mu did not intend to return to the country right now.
He intended to launch a massacre and wipe out all the terrorists in this part of the Middle East.
To kill 1,000,000 evil disciples as the blood sacrifice to the soul of the Chinese.
He was not just paying lip service to that promise.
