After carefully reading the complete volume of the river crossing step, Li Mu's face darkened. According to the records, the river crossing step's profound mysteries were top-notch, and it was said that when cultivated to the extreme, one could cross mountains and rivers.

But what made Li Mu depressed was that in order to practice this technique, there was a limit to his cultivation. The minimum requirement would be to be in the middle stages of the Elementary Realm.

Li Mu had even looked over the palm of great sorrow and dragon claw hand once, but what made him even more speechless was that the two martial skills, dragon claw hand, were still fine, and he could barely use it at the late stage of the Houtian realm. However, the palm of great sorrow was clearly indicated that one could not touch it unless he was an Innate Ranker, otherwise, a backlash of true essence would cause his life to be in danger.

It was not that Li Mu thought too little of himself, he had already reached the Innate Realm at the age of twelve, and was already considered extremely talented, but after entering the Innate Realm, although talent was important, more importantly, there were cultivation techniques and the acc.u.mulation of time.

A Houtian realm martial artist's advancement was greatly related to the true essence in their body. As the true essence continued to circulate in their body, the meridians would become thicker and thicker, and their blood and energy would become more and more exuberant. Thus, their true essence would become thicker and purer.

When a martial artist's true essence acc.u.mulated to a certain limit, they would advance to the next stage. But, this process was a process of ma.s.sive acc.u.mulation.

"Without the help of pills and crystal, it would take me at least a few years to reach the middle stage of the Houtian realm, and who knows how many months it would take to reach the late Houtian realm."

Li Mu muttered to himself. After entering the Pre-Sky Realm, it was not easy to raise one's cultivation base by training hard. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to not be many Innate Rankers in the huge Sunset City.

At this moment, Li Mu was a little homesick, at home, he did not need to worry about anything, he only needed to focus on training, although the pellets were of ordinary low levelled pellets, but at least the quant.i.ty was sufficient, as for the legendary crystal, he believed that his strict father would also get them for him.

crystal s were also a type of cultivation resource like medicinal pills, they were different from medicinal pills that were produced from harvesting spirit herbs. crystal s were birthed from the extremely dense heaven and earth origin energy in the mountain range and the earth vein, which contained an extremely pure origin energy, as long as one reached the Lesser Heaven stage, they could absorb the origin energy inside it and use it to cultivate.

As a young master of the direct line of descent of the Li Family, Li Mu had seen rare crystal s, they were divided into the top, middle, and lower ranks, and their shape was a rhombus-shaped crystal. Very few of them circulated on the market, and their exchange price was ten thousand silvers for a low level crystal, even though it was still priceless.

After thinking about it, Li Mu finally focused his gaze onto the dead vines on the ground. He had a bold idea, which was to link all the vines together to make long cord and leave this place through the vines. However, the only thing he was worried about was how high up this cave was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been accidentally dragged in. One must know that if a person's body was sucked into a cave, the strength of the airflow could be imagined. If he were to encounter another airflow in the process of descending, he would be in danger of falling off the cliff if he wasn't careful.

"Hee hee, boy, are you thinking about how to leave this place?"

"Who is it!?" Is it man or ghost! "

Suddenly hearing someone speak, Li Mu's hairs stood up, he grabbed the Zhan Qianqiu in his hands tightly and looked around in shock.

There was no one alive other than him, only two skeletons that had been dead for who knows how many years. Looking at the two skeletons on the ground, Li Mu subconsciously thought of the legendary ghosts.

"Tsk tsk …" Ghost? You actually dare to compare This King with ghosts. If it wasn't for This King being in a good mood today and me helping you out, you would have died from poison by now! "

The mysterious sound continued to ring out. From the tone, it seemed that the person was in quite a good mood.

"Saved me? Could it be that the poison in my body was cured by you? May I know who you are?

Li Mu looked around nervously. From the way the other party said it, he did not seem to be like a ghost, but even so, he did not dare to relax his guard. After all, the other party had appeared too strangely.

There's no need to be so nervous. This King is not interested in killing you, but seeing that you've had such a good opportunity and you've actually come to this d.a.m.ned place, it's been a thousand years since anyone has come here. This King thought that there would never be another living person in his life.

"Senior, could you be staying inside that blood-stained rag?"

Li Mu asked tentatively.

"Eh? You actually found out, that's right, I am indeed inside the heliogram fragment, but you actually dare call this thing a rag. If those old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds outside find out, they might throw you into the fecal pit to choke you to death. "

Seeing that Li Mu had discovered his hiding place so quickly, the other party was surprised.

"Senior … You actually stayed in that s.h.i.+tty place … Inside the heliogram fragment, how was this possible? How can there be people in there? "

Li Mu's understanding of this world had been completely overturned. He never thought that there would actually be someone hiding inside a seemingly unremarkable piece of cloth.

The deep voice sounded slightly sarcastic.

As he was conversing with the other party, he naturally noticed that the other party did not have any ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to waste so much time talking with him.

"Kid, don't be unconvinced yet. I can see that your talent is still alright, but you've reached the Houtian realm at such a young age, but that's only in terms of talent. If you don't have the opportunity, then your cultivation will at most reach the Xiantian realm.

A haughty voice came out from the heliogram fragment, and Li Mu finally found out the other party's name. However, he had never heard of the Demon King of Confusion's name, so he did not display any particular expression.

"Brat, aren't you shocked when you hear this duke's name? Aren't you afraid? "

"Why should I be shocked? Why should I be afraid? I've never heard of it. It's not like the Great Sage Qi Tian is the Great Sage, could it be that everyone knows him? "

Li Mu could not help but roll his eyes.

"You actually haven't heard of my name, Chaotic Demon King. Are you from the cultivation world?"

"Of course I'm someone from the cultivation world. However, it's also possible that it's because my cultivation is too low. After all, I can't even be considered to be a lower third rate person. So, it's normal for me to not have heard of your name."

"Hmm, that's true. Your cultivation is so low, and I've never heard of your t.i.tle. However, even a third-rate kid would know about Great Sage Qitian, right? From your tone, it sounds like you're praising him."

"Great Sage Qi Tian is just speaking randomly. Senior's ability is so amazing that you can actually enter this heliogram fragment. Junior has really never heard of it before. I wonder if senior can guide junior a little bit."

"Kid, you really have quite a few tricks up your sleeve despite your age. If you want to know where This King came from, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush and use my words."

The Chaotic Demon King saw through Li Mu's thoughts, and said disdainfully.

Li Mu laughed bitterly, the reason why he said that was because he wanted to know the origin of the other party.

It seemed that he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, the Sky Devil King wasn't bothered by it at all. Instead, his temperament became even more serious, as if he really wanted to explain it in detail with Li Mu.

"No, this is the first time I've ever been to Sunset Cloud City, and my knowledge is limited to the records in ancient books. Demonic Sect? "Is it very strong?"

"So he's a fledgling brat. No wonder. It's normal for him to not know this king's name at such a young age. What do you mean Muyun City?" What country is this? How come I've never heard of it? "

The Great Demonic Lord asked when Sunset Clouds City was mentioned.

Li Mu replied honestly.

The Great Chaotic Demon King seemed to be muttering to himself as he softly sighed.

"Over two thousand five hundred years? Could this senior be joking? How could there be anyone in this world that could live for over 2500 years?! Hearing the meaning behind senior's words, could it be that senior is not a member of my Yuheng Continent? "

Li Mu's mouth was wide opened, and he was not able to recover his senses for a long time, what kind of concept was two thousand and five hundred years?
