Chapter 261: The Forbidden Land Obtained
The Little Emperor trembled and hurriedly ran out of the Hall of Harmony.
Liu An shook his head slightly.
“This kid is still afraid of me!”
He thought about how he had shaken the world for so many years and how many sons had suffered to death.
Not to mention his own grandson, there were not many trusted aides who were not afraid.
Those who were not afraid had long left the world.
“Oh right, there is also Eunuch Li. It won’t be long before I come out to look for you.”
He flipped through a few memorials in the Hall of Harmony and took a careful look at the Little Emperor’s reading. Liu An shook his head and nodded.
“The little thing still has some ideas! As long as he doesn’t mess around, the world will not be in chaos. As long as there is no mess, the people will be able to live and work in peace.”
The reading of all the memorials was still a little inexperienced.
This was already much better than when he was the emperor.
At that time, what he received from his father was a mess. Even though he had been in the army for many years, when he first took this position, he was still a little uncomfortable. In comparison, he was even more inexperienced.
Finally, there was a qualified heir.
If this kid acted as the emperor for a few more years, he would definitely be a wise ruler.
“When I leave, leave him with a few capable main ministers and a few experts.”
Liu An began to evaluate which young ministers in the court were worth nurturing and could become the pillars of the country.
As he lowered his head to think, a strange fluctuation came from afar.
Liu An suddenly opened his eyes.
After tidying his robe, he slowly walked out of the Hall of Harmony.
“Senior Xu has graced me with your presence. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please come in and have a cup of tea. We don’t store many things here but we have enough tea,” Liu An cupped his hands towards the sky and said.
In his words, there was some hidden meaning. Hearing this, Xu Xiao’s mouth opened wide in the air.
He thought to himself, this little thing was mocking him for not inviting him into the city to have tea a few days ago! What a vengeful little thing.
“After all, we are Virtual Realm experts. Who needs that little bit of water to drink. I believe you have already guessed that I’ll be here. Don’t be in a hurry to invite me in. If you agree to let me see it, I’ll go in. If you don’t let me see it, I’ll turn around and leave. Our time is precious. It would be a great sin to waste even a quarter of an hour,” Xu Xiao said in a clear voice.
His words were even more direct. He almost said that they were not fated to meet.
If it wasn’t for that key, Xu Xiao would never have known him.
“This… please come in!”
Liu An pursed his lips.
What time was precious?
Everyone knew that Xu Xiao’s time was not valuable at all.
He couldn’t control the affairs of the clan, and there was no chance for him to make any progress in his cultivation.
Whoosh…
A figure landed beside Liu An.
Liu An sized up Xu Xiao, then made a gesture of inviting him. He curled his lips and said, “Please.”
“Humph.”
Xu Xiao glanced at Liu An and strode into the palace.
He raised his head all the way as if Liu An owed him.
After a moment, the two stopped in a pavilion in the back garden.
“Please sit down! The refreshments in the palace are a little tacky. Then there’s no need to serve them!”
“No worries!”
The corner of Xu Xiao’s mouth twitched.
He thought to himself, if it weren’t for the fact that the key was important and made him think about it all night long, He wouldn’t have come to this place. If Liu An didn’t welcome him, then he could show it. Yet, he even pretended to welcome him.
This little thing really knew how to disgust people.
“Senior Xu, can you tell me about that world?”
Liu An said with a cheeky smile.
“Can I take a look at the key in your hand?”
Xu Xiao’s fingers began to tremble, and his mouth trembled as he said.
He really didn’t want to tell such a story again, especially when he was facing this kid.
“Isn’t the outside world beautiful?”
Liu An asked.
Since Xu Xiao didn’t take the initiative, he opened his mouth and asked bit by bit.
From the scenery and weather to the humanities, he didn’t believe that this old thing wasn’t crazy.
“Where did you pick up the key in your hand?”
“I heard that the devil is related to that world. Can you tell me about it?”
Liu An stared at Xu Xiao and said.
Since this old thing had come, it was because he couldn’t keep his cool and he couldn’t blame Liu An.
Liu An really wanted to know more things that his elder sister didn’t know.
“Others have spent so much effort but still haven’t found the key. Who knows whether the thing in your hand is real or fake?”
Xu Xiao’s hands trembled even more.
“The humans in that world really can’t survive?”
“Liu Wei got the key?”
Xu Xiao’s body trembled.
He really wanted to go up and slap this little thing.
Liu An already knew that the humans couldn’t live on. What more did he want to ask?
… …
The two of them asked their own questions. An hour later, Xu Xiao stood up and left.
“So be it! The key is in my hands anyway. Who’s afraid of who?”
Staring at Xu Xiao’s disappearing figure, Liu An spat and said.
In the distance, Xu Xiao swept a glance at the imperial palace behind him.
“Surely there will be a time you come to beg me, make use of this period of time to properly raise your realms. Strive to breakthrough once you’re out, and raise your realms to the second tier of True Realm within a short period of time.”
Whoosh…
As he spoke, Xu Xiao quickly returned.
Inside the Xuantian Sect.
Li Mu had been staring at the walls in the hall for half a month, and he finally understood what was carved on the walls.
A map.
It was a map of this continent.
“I thought it was some treasure and have looked at it for so many days.”
He picked up a piece of charcoal from the ground and pointed at the location of the Xuantian Sect on the map.
A black dot appeared on the green map.
“Mark it well, in case I have to look for the location again the next time I look at the map.”
Staring at the location of the Xuantian Sect, Li Mu quickly found the Shining Heaven Territory. Then, he found the Shangqing Region, and his gaze finally landed on Fenglan in the corner.
On an extended peninsula of Fenglan, Li Mu pressed the charcoal pen in his hand there.
After staring at the Fenglan for a long time, Li Mu turned his head back.
Suddenly, he realized that the black dot that he had pressed on Xuantian Sect had disappeared.
Pop ~
He slapped his forehead.
He threw the charcoal pen in his hand away and continued to look in between those more than a hundred mountains.
It was obvious that these 100 plus mountains were the training grounds for the 108 Semi-god Realm experts and their disciples.
As for whether there were any more powerful warriors in the deeper parts of the Xuantian Sect, Li Mu could not guess.
He smoothed his gray hair and stared at the deeper parts of the forbidden area of the Xuantian Sect.
“I have the intention but not the strength!”
He did not have enough strength at the moment if he wanted to go deeper.
Right now, his body had been corroded by time.
The gain of 108 mountains was quite a lot, and he would need some time to digest them.
Whoosh ~
Li Mu quickly walked out of the forbidden area.
Out of the forbidden area, Li Mu shook his body, and the clothes he was wearing turned into ashes. New clothes were draped over his body again.
“I can use the Sky-breaking Thunder, but I’ll keep the other things!”
After tidying up the items received from the check-ins, Li Mu took out the Ice Bed, Bronze Coffin, Lightning Pool, Earth Fire, and so on.
These things were all obtained from the 108 mountains.
Many good things were too heavy to carry.
For the things like the lightning pool, if it wasn’t for the fact that he knew the lightning laws, he really wouldn’t have been able to do anything with it.
Obtaining the Earth Fire was an accident.
To be exact, after so many years, no cultivator had been able to absorb and grow much with this Earth Fire. That was why Li Mu had taken out a portion.
“Where should I place this Earth Fire?”
Back then, he just tried to take it out when he was bored. He didn’t expect to obtain it so quickly.
This was too f*cked up!
He couldn’t get what he wanted, but he casually took out a wisp of Earth Fire that he didn’t want.
“Yun Yiyi!”
Li Mu spread out his divine consciousness and called out.
