Since the news were intentionally blocked by the Beggar Gang, that battle was not known to most outsiders . The royal household of Northern Song helped the gang block that piece of news .
Currently, it was a mess for Northern Song . Neither the gang nor the imperial household wanted such things to spread .
Lord Virtuous the Eighth’s palace covered a huge area . It was made like a garden, with water-surrounded corridors, curved streams, gorgeous and antique pavilions, in which many rare and fragrant plants were grown . The pattern arrays created a suitable environment for their growth .
As a job-free lord, Lord Virtuous the Eighth had been in a semi-relaxed state for the past ten years, planting flowers and grass, rearing fish and insects . Only when there was something urgent in Northern Song, would the king call him to meet for national affairs .
It could be told that he was still trusted by the emperor .
However, things were turbulent in Northern Song at present, with many lords being rebellious, so Lord Virtuous the Eighth went to see the royals much more frequently than before . Especially after he recently returned to the capital, he went to visit the king to stay throughout one day and night before he returned home .
“Is Sage Li alive?” Lord Virtuous the Eighth asked with concern as soon as he returned .
Wang Shiyu massaged him and said with a smile, “Brother Mu was in closed-door training in the backyard . He made some gains from that battle, so he needed to stay alone for about half a month . ”
He was relieved and said, “I also heard of it in the royal palace . Sage Li is really a talent . Since the beginning, he remains undefeated . It is incredible . Is he really fifteen years old? Could it be that he’s an old reincarnated god?”
Wang Shiyu giggled and said, “For this point, I can guarantee it is absolutely not so . He’s not only lucky, but also a martial-arts wizard, so he can make such rapid progress . ”
The lord then said, “We can no longer use this word to describe him . In this world, there are quite a few martial arts wizards, but it is unprecedented that he, at 15 years old, can be a sage . ”
Wang Shiyu said, “It is . ”
She couldn’t help but tell him about the inscription on the black bull stele and Li Mu’s perception . “Countless people have seen it these years, but only he could decipher its real meaning . ”
However, she didn’t mention that Tao Te Ching was a work from earth, because Li Mu had told her that the identity of earth’s people on that planet might be a dangerous sign .
“Oh? Such a thing . ” Lord Virtuous the Eighth’s eyes were brightened .
He knew more about the Daoyin Temple and the stele than Wang Shiyu, which had something to do with the Northern Song royal family . There were some legends that once the secret on the stele was decoded, some major events would take place .
Hence, the royal family attached great importance to it .

However, after one millennium, no one knew the significance in it, so some royal members thought that it might have been a rumor, and gradually paid less attention to it . He didn’t expect that such a legendary prediction was realized by Li Mu .
“Yes, I remember I have to go to the palace again for something . ”
He got up, and quickly ordered someone to prepare a cart to go to the palace again .
Wang Shiyu looked puzzled .
He had just returned from there .
“Wah . Miss, let’s chase the ball . ” Husky came in with Liang Zhi’s head again in its head .
It was very interested in that skull those days, especially the game of fetching it .
Liang Zhi had been tortured to the point of neurosis . When seeing Husky he would flatter, without showing any pride as before .
“Okay . ” Wang Shiyu was also very happy .
As an old friend from earth, they tacitly agreed on things . Wang Shiyu then ordered someone to get an oversized slingshot to launch that head… oh no, that flying ball .
More than a dozen master-level guards pulled back the slingshot, then Wang Shiyu placed the head in it, and released .
In a separate house of the mansion .
Ming Yue, barefooted, sat alone on the rooftop, with her chin in her hands . Her little and white feet were dangling casually in the air .
She was lively, especially after arriving in the prosperous Lin’an City . She couldn’t even wait to rush into the city for more fun…
However, Qing Feng was in closed-door training in a room to refine something .
So, Ming Yue had to protect him .
“I said that from now on, I must protect you from being hurt . As the leader of the Northern Song first gang, I will stand by my words . ”

She sat, holding her chin in her palms . She looked at the white clouds in the sky and couldn’t help smiling .
She needed to protect him .
Because before Li Mu became famous, the three struggled for their lives, and it was Qing Feng who made money by begging, acting as a performer, helping others write letters, running errands, and even working as a coolie to support her and Li Mu .
At that time, it was he who protected her .
It was then time for her to do that .
“I’m mature now . ”
Ming Yue said to herself .
Time passed by .
Ten days later .
In the secret chamber, Li Mu was surrounded by the circling flow of the Southern Fire Emperor and the Eastern Qing Emperor; one being green and the other red, which was quite a beautiful scene . The flows reflected his handsome face .
He used the Xiantian Skill to cultivate his natural qi, which was a far superior way than any magical secrets of that world .
For the past ten days, Li Mu had been struggling to break through the third layer of the Xiantian Skill .
It had been a few days since he finished the second level of Full Accomplishment . He had always been practicing hard for Xiantian Skill, but he made improvements more slowly than he thought . That time, after he battled against the two great demons and opened his Third Eye to help him, he ultimately gained something .
In the past few days, he had been strengthening himself and enhancing his own Sea of Consciousness . In the Mud-pill Palace, his spiritual Sea of Consciousness was surging as if roaring .
Suddenly, his Third Eye opened automatically .

The Third Eye was originally a gap without pupils, but at the moment, a pale purple pupil slowly appeared, which was like the swirling nebula . The lilac glory was twisted like the spring eye, and finally, a magnificent purple pupil was finally created .
It was also at that moment that Li Mu opened his eyes .
“The third level of the Xiantian Skill…”
Entering the third level of the Xiantian Skill, he cultivated natural qi at a faster speed, and generated more paths for it to flow . From then on, every two hours of cultivation were equivalent to the previous 20 hours in effectiveness . Besides, his body could be nurtured in a wider way because of the increasing paths for the flow of natural qi .
The cultivation of natural qi and physical cultivation was complementary .
Yin and Yang were complementary . In that world, many mysterious skills that only focused on the cultivation of physical body or natural qi were not important in the martial arts world .
The Xiantian Skill was the method for supplementary internal training, which could be used to enhance spiritual force .
After entering the third layer, Li Mu only felt that a kind of mysterious Taoist sense emerged in his own mind naturally, which was absolutely not the case when the first and second layers were previously broken .
“Purple-thunder pupil!”
That was the significance of the third layer of the Xiantian Skill .
As soon as the Third Eye opened, the purple thunder traces flowed through the pupils immediately . The pupils were like whirlpools . The insight and anticipatory power were still as strong as before, and as the pupil swirled faster and faster, a purple thunder beam burst out from the Third Eye .
“Gosh…” Li Mu was startled . As he looked up, he looked through the roof and rays of thunder went up into the sky .
Such a terrifying power .
If he just stared forward, that light pillar from the thunder pupil might be powerful enough to melt the entire mansion .
He quickly converged, closing his Third Eye, and slowly sensed the power to gradually manipulate it .
“What? The secret method on the stele was obtained by Li Mu?”
In the royal palace, the Emperor was extremely shocked .
Lord Virtuous the Eighth said, “I also just learned that Li Mu was a sage and decoded that secret . This might be true . Your Majesty, we had better discuss this immediately . ”
The Emperor nodded .
He was handsome, a mand who was crowned just ten years before, and was only thirty years old that year . In that world, he was absolutely young, but the corners of his eyes were already wrinkled and he had some gray hair . That was because, in those years, the national strength was declining and subordinates were only flattering while their internal affairs were a mess; it was exhausting for him .
“This secret is related to those pre-epoch relics . Now that Li Mu has got one of them, he must check Tianyi Palace next,” The Emperor said firmly .
Lord Virtuous the Eighth nodded and said, “Roughly so . ”
The Emperor said, “Take my seal and give it to Li Mu . He can get whatever he wants in Tianyi Palace . I will never stop him . ”
“This… Your Majesty, think twice . After all, what’s in there is…” Lord Virtuous the Eighth said with shock .
The Emperor replied, “The things in the Tianyi Palace are nominally owned by our royal family, but in fact, we can’t get them . If Li Mu can take them, we can give them to him . If we use antiques hidden in the dangerous place in exchange for the gratitude of the Great Saint, it will be a good deal . ”
Lord Virtuous the Eighth thought about it and agreed with him .
The emperor said again, “Li Mu is a peerless genius, the youngest sage in history, and he has great hatred toward the Western Qin Empire . However, because of Countess Huanzhu, we enjoy some friendship with him . Uncle Eighth, please have a care . If he can stay in Northern Song to support us, our dynasty will prosper again . ”
“I agree . These days, Li Mu lives in my mansion, and I will do my best . ”
The emperor said, “If the timing is right, I also want to see him . ”
