“Bro, are you really not interested in such a beautiful flower at all?” Ding Yi asked with a grimace, his left eye already bruised.

Li Mu just glared at him.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m doing this for your own good. You and she are a perfect match. You are a talented man, and she is an attractive woman… Anyway, you’re meant to be together. According to my observation, Ye Wuhen is a rare intro-seductive figure. She may look indifferent, but she is passionate inside. With my 36 Styles of A Magical Wedding Night, you can definitely enjoy the most amazing wonder in the human world…” Ding Yi rambled on and on with animated expressions.

Li Mu directly punched him in the right eye.

“Ouch… Bro, what’s the matter? You aren’t into women?” Ding Yi clapped both hands over his right eye and yelled in disbelief.

Li Mu snapped, “Is it the crux of the issue? Huh? Is it? Don’t you know perfectly well whether I am the fu*king future leader of that Fate-defying Sect?”

Ding Yi said with a grin, “Hey, it’s not a big deal. Who will know if you and I don’t tell?”

Li Mu yelled, “Get lost… You caused the mess. You go explain it to everyone.”

Ding Yi threw up his hands and said, “I’m afraid it’s hard to explain now. Besides, haven’t you noticed that Ye Wuhen is obviously looking at you with goo-goo eyes? Even if she knows you’re not the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, she’ll still love you with all her heart. Well, according to my experience, once this kind of woman’s passion explodes, it’ll be like a volcano eruption. So it doesn’t matter whether you’re the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect or not.”

Li Mu became speechless.

Ding Yi did have a fair point.

Li Mu was not a blockhead, so how could he not feel Ye Wuhen’s feelings for him?

But the problem was…

“Bro, stop hesitating. When the flower is in full bloom, just take it. Don’t wait until it’s gone.” Ding Yi winked at Li Mu and urged, “The others are all envious of you for getting this kind of romantic luck, hahaha.”

Li Mu pretended to punch again, but Ding Yi already jumped up and fled.

Li Mu did not know how to comment on this at all.

Seemed that he really should have picked carefully when making new friends.

Judging from the way Ding Yi knocked him out and threw him on that suspicious spaceship that day, Ding Yi was an unreliable man, ready to dig pits for others to fall in at any time.

“Creak.”

The door suddenly opened again. Ding Yi stuck his head in and said, “By the way, I forgot to give this to you.”

He threw in a jade-made booklet, whipped around, and ran away.

Li Mu picked it up and took a look. The cover bore the title “36 Styles of A Magical Wedding Night”. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“There is really such a thing!”

He felt like throwing it away, but for some reason, he didn’t. Instead, he put it into his storage space.

For the time being, Li Mu decided to put aside these matters of romance. But just as Li Mu was about to set up a restriction tactical deployment in the room before he regulated his breathing and treated his internal injuries, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Li Mu went over to open the door and said grumpily, “Are you done yet? Hurry up and take away the 36 Styles of the Magical Night… Uh, Miss Ye, why are you here?”

Ye Wuhen had changed into a green dress, and she looked much better. Her light green long hair at both sides of her temples was combed into two fine braids, which wrapped around her head and tied on the back of her head. It was a very beautiful hairstyle, full of Earth elements. Her exquisite and flawless face, against the green long hair, was as beautiful and elegant as a fairy maiden coming out of the forest.

Li Mu had thought that Ding Yi was playing another trick outside. However, it was Ye Wuhen who had come here to visit him, which greatly surprised him.

It was a little awkward.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Duan, what are the 36 Styles of the Magical Night?” Ye Wuhen asked. Her expression was much softer.

Perhaps it was because she was usually as cold as frost all the year round that she still did not have a smile on her face. But for her, it was already unprecedented to greet a man without a frosty face.

Li Mu was embarrassed at once. He stammered, “Um, it’s a kind of secret method that Fate-defying Sect… Well, it’s a very powerful Cultivation Method. By the way, Miss Ye, what can I do for you?”

Ye Wuhen was naturally cold and detached, not the curious type. So she did not go on asking questions. She just nodded and said, “I’m ordered by the Sect Leaders to take Senior Fellow Apprentice Duan to the Green Lotus Pool. We can use the power of the Green Lotus Pool to heal ourselves in the shortest time.”

“Oh?”

Li Mu was surprised to hear that.

“The Green Lotus Pool?”

Although he didn’t know what it was, it sounded like a famous place for healing.

Since Li Bai had founded the Divine Sect on Mount Shu and built the White Emperor City, he should have left some legacy behind. Before, Li Mu had witnessed the long eruption of the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus. It might have something to do with the Green Lotus Pool. So, he considered he might as well go and take a look. And it might help him break through to the Void-breaking Realm.

“What? Is that true?”

In the Flying Immortal Hall, the main hall of the Divine Sect on Mount Shu, the heads of the major branches were greatly shocked after hearing the account of the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect.

“It’s Wuhen’s words. It’s definitely true.” The old lady of the Moon Dao Sect had a pair of benevolent eyes and thick silver hair. Her beauty in her prime could still be seen faintly. She continued, “When Wuhen told me that Duan Shuiliu actually killed Qu Yi, the lord of Cold River City, and seriously injured the other experts in the Void-breaking Realm of the nine major sects, I’m also astonished. Anyhow, this is a good thing. Our Divine Sect has finally cultivated a real genius.”

“Haha, this Duan Shuiliu has really boosted the morale of our Divine Sect. Great, great!” said the head of the Dragon King Ridge, who habitually stroked his purple whiskers and patted his thigh excitedly.

“Since he is able to kill the lord of Cold River City, he must be above the Void-breaking Realm. Maybe he has passed the Life and Death Bridge,” an old man in a gray robe remarked. He was thin and elegant, with the air of a learned and refined man. That was Ouyang Huanyu, the head in charge of the Sky-reaching Pavilion, one of the seven branches of Mount Shu. He was a top cultivator overawing the entire Bitter Star.

“He must be in the Life and Death Bridge Realm. If he were merely in the Void-breaking Realm, he might be able to triumph over Qu Yi, but he definitely could not behead Qu Yi when he was besieged by tens of thousands of other cultivators,” echoed Mr. Shuiyue, another leader of the Divine Sect, who was in charge of the Water and Moon Sect. He seemed to be in his thirties and was dressed like a scholar. He was handsome and gentle-looking. When he spoke, he wore a faint smile, giving the others a feeling of bathing in spring breeze and drizzle.

The head of the Dragon King Ridge nodded and said, “Mr. Shuiyue is right.”

When they came to this conclusion, the leaders of Mount Shu of the Divine Sect present further brooded over the new discovery and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

In the battle a hundred years ago, the Divine Sect suffered heavy losses and was reduced to fragments. In particular, the three major branches—the Fairy Tang Sect, Li Shan Sect, and Fate-defying Sect—had all been destroyed. Up to now, although future leaders of Li Shan and the Fairy Tang Sect had appeared, they had not yet reached the Void-breaking Realm, and could only be regarded as outstanding among the young generation. But how come the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect turned out to be so dauntingly powerful?!

Was it really a blessing to the Divine Sect?

“Do you still remember the decree left behind by our sect master before he died in the battle?” questioned the head of the Dragon King Ridge.

All of a sudden, everyone’s expressions became serious.

Back then, the Green Lotus Sword God, who founded the Divine Sect, left a decree to the future generations of the Divine Sect, saying that no matter what their identities were, whether humble or noble, old or young, as long as one of them broke through to the Void-breaking Realm first, they would be appointed as Sect Master and take charge of the Divine Sect.

But now, Duan Shuiliu, the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, seemed to have made it, didn’t he?

In the past, because of the absence of a leader, the major branches of Divine Sect refused to obey one another’s orders and had a lot of disputes. Although their conflict had not developed into a bloody battle, it was hard to unite them. This time, the sudden attack of the nine sects made the branches abandon the previous grudges under the threat of external forces and sincerely unite together.

But without a leader, they could only march blindly ahead.

Under such a circumstance, they knew only by selecting a leader everyone supported to command the major branches could the forces of the Divine Sect truly become one.

“Haha, old fellows like us are already too old. We won’t be around for long. It can’t be better if we now pick a young sect leader,” the head of the Dragon King Ridge played with his purple whiskers and said merrily.

Back then, the Dragon King Ridge once monopolized White Emperor City and claimed to be the guard upholding the glory of the Divine Sect. They looked down on the other major branches that had fallen apart. But in this battle, the Dragon King Ridge suffered heavy losses due to their carelessness. There were only one of the two “dragon gods” left, and the four “dragon scales” were also reduced to three. This made the hot-tempered dragon head feel like retiring from the world. His desire to compete for the position of Sect Master had completely faded away.

He had a good impression of Li Mu, and also believed that it would be a good choice to support this young man to be Sect Master.

“Dragon the Fifth, you finally admit that you are old enough?” Ouyang Huanyu, the head of the Sky-reaching Pavilion, chuckled. “Duan Shuiliu is a good candidate. However, he has just come to White Emperor City, and his prestige has not been prominent yet. I’m afraid that it will be difficult for him to convince the other members after he becomes Sect Master. Moreover, he has been wandering outside for a long time, so he doesn’t know much about our Divine Sect.”

Mr. Shuiyue nodded and added, “It’s no big deal. Sometimes ignorance is an advantage. It means he is free of prejudice and so he is on nobody’s side.”

After a round of discussion, the heads of the several branches gradually reached a consensus.

“As long as Duan Shuiliu passes the divine blood test and his blood is pure enough, we will recommend him as Sect Master.” In the end, Dragon the Fifth, the head of Dragon King Ridge gave the final word.

The old lady of the Moon Dao Sect just smiled and said nothing.

Because her granddaughter, Ye Wuhen, had told her that Duan Shuiliu had been taken the divine blood test once, and the result showed that Duan Shuiliu was a silver dragon. That meant that he had the purest blood of Divine Sect, even purer than the blood of the current heads of the several major branches. So, it was just a matter of time before he passed the test.

At the thought that her granddaughter had found such a perfect match, who was about to become Sect Master of the Divine Sect, the old lady could not stop smiling from ear to ear.

At this moment, suddenly—

“Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!”

All of a sudden, the whole Fairy Hall quaked.

No, in fact, the entire White Emperor City began to shake as if there was a very strange resonance. The Spiritual Qi within the city also began to surge like boiling water.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s in the direction of the Green Lotus Pool.”

“Go and check it out!”

Streams of light flew out of the Fairy Hall and shot toward the Green Lotus Pool.

“Good heavens, what’s happening?”

Li Mu looked around with a little confusion.

He had followed Ye Wuhen to the Green Lotus Pool to cultivate and heal his injuries.

The Green Lotus Pool was a secret cultivation ground in the central area of White Emperor City. It consisted of more than 30 pools of different shapes.

The Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus was gushing out of the ground. The thick, almost liquid-like lotus qi was surging in several huge pools. The talents of the Divine Sect had entered the ponds. As if they were taking a bath in a hot spring, they cultivated in the ponds while inhaling the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus to increase their strength. Compared with the nine major sects absorbing the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus while it was erupting, the Mount Shu disciples’ bathing in the hot springs was as luxurious as showering with a ton of hundred-year-old Maotai wine.

According to Ye Wuhen’s introduction, the Green Lotus Pool had already been there since a century ago, but it had always been dried up. It was not until a few months ago when the Green Lotus Qi erupted and the underground spiritual liquid gushed out that the pool was filled.

Li Mu thought about it and bought her words.

If the Green Lotus Pool had been full of spiritual liquid over the past 100 years, how many masters and experts would have been fostered? In that case, on the Bitter Star, there would be no place for the nine big sects. The Divine Sect would have knocked them to the ground and handled them as they liked.

“You’d better be naked when you enter the Green Lotus Pool. Only then can you allow the Spiritual Liquid to nourish your body and achieve the best practicing effect,” Ye Wuhen said. She then turned around and left for another pool dozens of meters away.

The spiritual liquid was evaporating, blocking the view.

The sound of clothes being undressed could be heard.

Li Mu couldn’t help blushing.

He looked about and found no one around. Then, he took off his clothes and jumped into the Green Lotus Pool. After running the Xiantian Skill for less than ten breaths, the Green Lotus Pool suddenly began to boil.

“What’s going on?”

Li Mu wanted to jump out, but when he remembered he was naked, he hesitated. Then, some swooshes sounded in the surroundings. People were coming.
