There were three places named Mount Shu on Earth. Two were located in Anhui Province and one was in Sichuan Province. The latter, known as the symbolic mountain of Sword Whiz in Chinese martial arts culture, was the most famous of the three.
Li Mu didn’t know if the Mount Shu in bitter star had some connection with those on the Earth.
At the foot of Mount Shu, the towering and mighty mountain looked perilous and luxuriant. The green plants covered the white rock. Pinnacles, like divine swords, thrust into the sky and inserted into the clouds. It was as precipitous as Mount Shu in Sichuan Province.
It seemed that every peak was a Breaking Sky Sword once it was pulled out from the earth.
“This is Mount Shu,” Ding Yi said.
“When the Green Lotus God of Sword was still alive, he founded the God Sect, which was named after Mount Shu and was divided into seven branches, including Moon Dao Sect, Beyond the Sky Sect, Dragon Emperor Sect, Water and Moon Sect, Against Life Sect, Fairy Tang Sect, and Li Shan Sect. The seven branches were collectively referred to as Mount Shu. At that time, Mount Shu dominated the world. It was also the most glorious era of the bitter star. Unfortunately, one day, fairies in heaven descended to the world to annihilate sinners. The Green Lotus God of Sword was considered a sinner. After a fierce battle, Mount Shu was broken into pieces. The Against Life Sect, Fairy Tang Sect, and Li Shan Sect disappeared from the world from then on.”
San Langshen Ding Yi talked about this with emotion.
Ding Yi was truly a know-it-all. He almost knew everything about the Jianghu.
With Ding Yi chattering along the way, Li Mu had a basic understanding of the bitter star.
On the way, Li Mu wondered if the Green Lotus God of Sword was Li Bai.
Li Bai was one of those who left the Earth through the Path. He was addressed as Green Lotus Buddhist and was also a strong master of swordcraft.
When Li Mu heard the names Against Life Sect, Fairy Tang Sect, and Li Shang Sect, he had more thoughts about this, especially about the last two names. He was afraid that the Green Lotus God of Sword was Green Lotus Buddhist, who was an expert in poetry and sword.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a legend about the Mount Shu God of Sword.
It was probably because of this that the headquarters of the Devil Cult was named Mount Shu.
If so, in terms of time, Li Bai came to the bitter star and founded Mount Shu after he left the Divine Land.
What kind of story was behind it?
Li Mu was quite curious.
After walking along the mountain track for a while, they had to give up riding horses.
Because the horses could not travel on the precipitous mountain tracks and cliffs, they had to walk.
Li Mu clearly sensed that the Spiritual Qi in the mountain was several times thicker than that outside.
Over the last three days, although he had hurried his journey, he didn’t stop cultivating. Now, his Chaotic Natural Qi was richer than before. It was as abundant as that of the Great Master Realm in martial arts. However, since he hid the Chaotic Natural Qi, Ding Yi didn’t discern it.
Ding Yi’s cultivation was merely at the Great Master level. He hadn’t reached Natural Expert yet. However, he was boasting that he was a renowned master in the Jianghu along the way. But Li Mu didn’t expose him.
In fact, Li Mu respected Ding Yi in some way.
When they just enter the mountain, they encountered many Jianghu masters. Their aims varied. Some of them just wanted to watch dramas, while some had received invitations from the Four City Alliances and the three sword sects to help them annihilate the Devil Cult.
Ding Yi, by virtue of his silver tongue, mingled with different Wulin masters, and they flattered each other. As a result, he and a middle disciple of the Wind and Cloud Sect became sworn brothers. Now they got a lift by taking the Wind and Cloud Sect’s airship to Mount Shu.
The Wind and Cloud Sect was a middle sect in the bitter star. Because they received the invitation from the elder of the West Sea Sword Sect, which was one of the three sword sects, their whole sect came here to annihilate the Devil Cult. Therefore, there were no barriers when they went through the blockades on the periphery.
After entering Mount Shu, Li Mu planned to get a chance to say goodbye to Ding Yi. However, he changed his mind after they boarded the airship.
He should infiltrate the inside of the Four Cities Alliance first.
“After entering it, you must be very careful and safety must come first.”
On Earth, outside of Mount Shu in Sichuan Province…
As the leader of the Wulin Alliance, Fan Zu’ang would see off the Chinese Wulin masters who were going to enter Heaven on Mount Shu with his confidential secretary, Su Cuo.
About three days ago, there was space mist, and Heaven on Mount Shu had the sign of opening. Three hours ago, it was completely opened.
The military had selected a special army. The Wulin Alliance had also acted swiftly, organizing an exploration team including the deputy chief of the Wulin Alliance and the leader of Ancient Yue Sect, Gu Lang, and the council members, Xiao Dong, Lu Xun, Luo Xuanxing. They were going to explore Heaven.
Over the past two years or more, human beings had reaped great benefits from the exploration of Heaven and the Mysterious Land.
Thanks to the exploration, new human beings, strong masters of martial arts, and superpower holders had strengthened their power. Herbs and fruits had greatly driven the medical industry and life sciences forward. More importantly, some precious mineral resources and metal had accelerated the development of material technology on Earth. These technologies had penetrated into every area of people’s lives.
The scientific technologies and military forces on Earth developed dramatically.
Because of this, the cooperation and competition between superpowers had shifted from energy and resources into a mysterious land, heritage sites, and Heaven. Of course, the relatively peaceful competition was on the basis that the Eastern God of Massacre killed all the evil sects and terrorist groups on Earth two years ago.

Every opening of Heaven would draw the whole world’s attention.
The exploitation of new herbs, mineral resources, and metals would cause the whole world to compete for them.
This time, Heaven on Mount Shu opened very fast. What’s more, its signals of opening were more surprising than that of Qinling Heaven. Therefore, it was graded as an A-level Heaven by domestic institutions.
According to news from the international community, there were A-level mysterious lands opening in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. It was very likely that it was a super Heaven on the global level and was interconnected like Qinling Heaven. It would be the second Heaven world on the global level after Qinling Heaven.
It would be a great event on Earth.
Six days later…
“Did they catch captives?”
They reached Desktop Peak, the ruins of the Against Life Sect. Now, they were a hundred miles away from White Emperor City on Mount Shu. When hearing the news that Ding Yi had, Li Mu got curious.
“Yes. It was said that hundreds of captives were jailed in the cave of Desktop Peak. The decent part interrogated them day and night to find out White Emperor City’s weakness in defense.”
The crest of Desktop Peak was as large as a platform. It covered thousands of meters. Since it looked like a desktop, it was named Desktop Peak.
The Against Life Sect, one of the seven branches of Mount Shu, was located on Desktop Peak.
The disciples of the Against Life Sect built a hill gate on the mountaintop. Once, there were palaces and houses of all sizes. However, after the outbreak of the fierce battle a hundred years ago, the Devil Cult collapsed and the disciples of the Against Life Sect vanished as well.
The old palace, buildings, and walls fell down. Eroded by wind and rain, it now became a wasteland with weeds, moss, trees, and dried-up rivers.
The West Sea Sword Sect, one of the three sword sects, camped at Desktop Peak temporarily. The Four Cities Alliance, the other two sword sects, and the two families respectively occupied a peak around the main peak of Mount Shu, the White Emperor Peak. By adopting airships, tactical deployments, sentries, and traps, they surrounded White Emperor Peak tightly. They adopted the method of besieging an enemy stronghold in order to strike at the reinforcements in order to exterminate the whole Devil Cult.
Now the battle reached the stage of stalemate and was relatively peaceful.
Li Mu and Ding Yi infiltrated the Wind and Cloud Sect and then entered Desktop Peak. Now they served as handymen in the West Sea Sword Sect’s camp. What they did was keep war monsters and divine birds, carry rocks and weapons, and maintain airships.
Ding Yi was very satisfied with the job he got.
“What about it? By following me, you expanded your horizons, right?” Ding Yi was used to bragging to Li Mu.
Li Mu gave him a smile but did not speak.
As there was no big battle and the Spiritual Qi on Desktop Peak was very rich, Li Mu decided to stay there to observe the situation and practice secretly. Now, his Chaotic Natural Qi reached the Natural Realm. His progress was massive.
During his stay, Li Mu tried several times to sneak into White Emperor City to observe it carefully. However, White Emperor City was very heavily guarded and had strange tactical deployments, so he never succeeded.
In recent days, the news that there was a war between the decent and the evil shocked the whole bitter star.
In the old days, the power of Mount Shu was all over the world. Now, although it had come down in the world, it still had many disciples. As the news of the war got out, many disciples of the Devil Cult came from all corners of the world to get through the hard times together.
The result didn’t look bright.
The disciples of the Devil Cult came here separately. Naturally, most of them fell into the traps that the decent part set before, and many strong masters became captives.
Since the crest of Desktop Peak covered a very large area and had a cave jail, the captives caught by the decent were sent to Desktop Peak and were guarded by the West Sea Sword Sect.
“White Emperor Peak had a White Emperor City. White Emperor City had a God of Sword. In the old days, White Emperor City was a city of fairies.”
Ding Yi was very emotional when he became serious.
He started to comment on them and said, “The disciple who defended in Dragon Emperor Ridge was very careless and fought against the decent part on the outside of the city, so they suffered a great loss. However, if they stuck to staying in the city, it would have been hard for every sect to penetrate into the city. Therefore, the decent part hoped to find out the weakness of White Emperor City from the captives.”
Li Mu looked at him and said, “If so, these disciples of the Devil Cult were gallant and loyal.”
Ding Yi was surprised and looked around. After finding out no one was there, he heaved a sigh of relief. He said in a lower voice, “Hush, Mr. Duan. You shouldn’t say that. If disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect heard your words, which showed sympathy for the Devil Cult, you will be considered to be an accomplice of the Devil Cult. Then you will be in trouble.”
Li Mu’s alias was Duan Shuiliu.
He once used this name on the Divine Land. Now he reused it.
Because if he used his real name, he might expose himself once there were Beyond the Sky Masters in the underground in the decent part.
After all, during the war of the Tomb of the God of Sin in Lin’an on the Divine Land in the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Mu killed the vast majority of the Beyond the Sky Masters in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Now, numerous people in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region wanted to behead Li Mu.
“Ding Yi and Duan Shuiliu, why are you still idle? We don’t have idlers here. Senior fellow apprentice Qi needs somebody to help him. Go there and take this slop to the dungeon.”
The voice came from a proud and bossy disciple of the West Sea Sword Sect.
“Okay, I will go there right now,” said Ding Yi, who bowed and scraped. He pulled Li Mu and said, “Mr. Duan, let’s go and take dinner to the captives.”
Li Mu got excited.
It was nice for him to go to the dungeon and find out whom they caught.
