On the Ghost Rally Star.

In the underground mine of the Bone Sacred Mountain.

With the help of the dancing earth fire, Li Mu’s weapon refining had approached the last few procedures.

The weapons of Caicai and the Ning couple had also been refined again.

Li Mu had forged a battle broadsword for himself.

He had also prepared weapons for Guo Yuqing and the others. One of his products was a stone bow. The bow itself was perfect, only that it had no bowstring yet.

Li Mu had also refined ten suits of armor.

These things had only consumed less than one-tenth of the entire silver-mountain-like strange stone.

“All the naturally formed marvelous treasures are the work of good fortune. One shall not be so voracious as to have it all. One is advised to only take 10 percent and leave the rest for others’ benefits so that the good luck could continue to spread. Otherwise, having such a treasure all by oneself would only continue to consume one’s good luck.”

The old faker once mentioned that to Li Mu when he was drunk.

Li Mu reckoned that it really made sense.

No one could own the good fortune of the whole world.

Time flew by.

A day later.

“Evil spirits lock down the place. Spirits rise from the ground. The will of the people light the road,” Li Mu shouted.

Meanwhile, he was making all kinds of gestures with both hands and ceaselessly launching Taoist magic seals.

Glinting seals shot out of Li Mu’s palms one after another and were continuously injected into the weapons and armors floating over the blazing earth fire.

“Clink, clatter!”

There came the sound as if iron was being forged.

Taoist figures appeared on the originally smooth blades and shining armor one after another, as though someone had carved them in those items with a burin.

Li Mu drew on everything he had learned and engraved all his understanding of the Taoist talisman on the weapons and the suits of armor.

This was the last step of refining weapons and armor.

It was also the most crucial step.

Even with Li Mu’s cultivation and energy, he still couldn’t help but feel drained at this time.

Another day passed.

“Accelerate! Pardon! Seal!”

The seals Li Mu had conjured from his hands landed on the items.

With a stir of his Divine Consciousness, he retrieved all the armor and weapons hovering over the earth fire.

“It’s done!”

Li Mu wiped off the beads of perspiration on his forehead, stood up, and reached out to grab the long broadsword he had refined for himself.

The blade of this broadsword was long and thin, which looked quite similar to the goose-feather-shaped broadsword he had bought on the Immortal Net. Yet, the blade of this new broadsword blade was wider, longer, and heavier. When Li Mu first held it, he found that it was extremely heavy. It was as if he was holding a mountain in his hand. However, for Li Mu, it was more suited. With a stir of his thought, he injected his natural qi into the blade. The four Taoist figures on the blade flickered. Next, the whole blade was coated with faint silver light, distinctly showing its sharpness.

Li Mu made a casual slash move.

The air parted like waves.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

The long, heavy blade suddenly broke down into 24 flying broadswords in different shapes, which then zoomed around Li Mu.

This idea was based on the Samsara Knife that Qing Feng, his attendant, refined many years ago.

The large broadsword was composed of 24 smaller flying broadswords. In close combat, Li Mu would chiefly use the large broadsword, for it could facilitate the use of his strong physical strength. But in long-range attacks, he would largely depend on the 24 smaller flying broadswords to cast the power of the Broadsword Intent of the 24 Solar Terms. Thus, this new broadsword was perfectly compatible with Li Mu’s current skills.

Back then, the Samsara Knife was a broadsword that Qing Feng had customized to suit Li Mu’s needs. It could be said that that broadsword allowed Li Mu to display all the skills he had learned by that time to the extreme.

Although the Samsara Knife was now broken and its grade and power could no longer bear Li Mu’s current strength, Li Mu still appreciated its design and so adopted the idea.

“At that time, Qing Feng racked his brains to design this kind of broadsword and saved me a lot of trouble. So, from now on, I will also call the new broadsword ‘Samsara’.”

Li Mu named his new broadsword.

The Samsara Knife finally reappeared in the world.

Eventually, the Samsara Knife returned to the form of the long broadsword.

Due to the special property of the silver-mountain-like strange stone, the new Samsara Knife could not be put in the storage space. Thus, Li Mu inserted it into the long-prepared stone sheath and carried it on his back.

Because the 10 sets of armor were also made of this special stone, it was difficult to absorb them into one’s body to nourish them.

Li Mu knew that this was because his method of weapon refining was not brilliant enough.

He also prepared 10 stone cases and put the sets of armor in.

Soon, Caicai and the Ning couple came over after getting Li Mu’s message.

“These are the weapons and sets of armor that I’ve prepared for you.”

Li Mu handed the stone broadswords and stone swords to the three of them.

The three were very excited.

Having been refined by Li Mu, the power of their weapons had increased by many times.

If they had such magic weapons in their hands during that battle in the Bone Sacred Mountain, they would have been able to defeat the three Holy Sages head-on.

“Young Master, we’ve already occupied the Three Divine Sects. And we found something very strange. Would you like to go and have a look?” Dong Xue said respectfully.

Of the three, Caicai was the strongest regarding cultivation, and Ning Jing was the most resilient one. As for Dong Xue, she was more like their counselor.

Three days later.

Li Mu finished reading all kinds of books and records in the headquarters of the Three Divine Sects.

He now had a much deeper understanding of the Ghost Rally Star.

He felt that he had indeed seriously underestimated the Ghost Rally Star before.

In his head, he had already come up with a new plan.

He pushed the door open and walked out.

Caicai and the other two were standing outside the hall.

Li Mu looked at the three of them and said, “Since you already have a foothold on this Ghost Rally Star, you don’t have to hurry to get out of here. I think it’s better for you to continue to cultivate on the Ghost Rally Star. One day, you will reach the Great Way and become Celestial Demons. Then, when you leave the Ghost Rally Star, you will truly be able to travel freely in the universe.”

This was the plan that he had thought through since a long time ago.

The Ghost Rally Star could give full play to the combat power of ghost cultivators. However, once ghost cultivators left this world filled with dense Yin Qi and returned to the world of the living, the power of ghost cultivators would decline rapidly and they would not be able to stay in the world of the living for too long.

Unless one broke through the circle of life and became a Celestial Demon.

Li Mu hoped that Caicai and the Ning couple could continue to stay on the Ghost Rally Star to hone their strength and cultivate their forces.

His previous plan had to be tweaked as well.

Before, he had wanted to find a high-quality Ghost Cultivation Method on the Ghost Cultivation Method and brought it back.

But now, Li Mu felt that the most correct way to do it was to bring Yu Hualong, that Knife Hut servant named Wu Ming, and the others to the Ghost Rally Star and let them cultivate here.

The Netherworld and Azure Heavens Two Forms Scripture that Caicai and the Ning couple had been practicing could be said to be the top Ghost Cultivation Method, so Li Mu didn’t need to search painstakingly anymore.

“Big Brother, are you leaving? No, I want you to go with me. Let me tag along,” Caicai begged, the rims of her eyes immediately turning red. “Let me follow you. I will behave myself.”

The proud ponytailed girl had a deep attachment to Li Mu that was down to the marrow.

The Ning couple also got anxious and said, “Now that the place of reincarnation is under the control of our Bone Sacred Mountain, we can enter the universe in the foreseeable future. Young Master, let us follow you and serve you. We are willing to be your swords to clear up all obstacles in the way for you.”

Li Mu shook his head and said, “I suppose you’ve all read the ancient books and records of the Three Divine Sects. I believe that you have also noticed that the Ghost Rally Star is not as simple as it looks. The origin of that huge face is quite unusual. On this planet, it established the Three Divine Sects, cultivated the three Holy Sages, ruled this place, and controlled the place of reincarnation. There must be a huge conspiracy behind it. In the past few days, I looked through some books written by ghosts and read a lot of records. I guess that Ghost Rally Star is very likely to be the gate of hell in myth.”

Dong Xue nodded and said, “I also have the same speculation. The Ghost Rally Star is shrouded in Yin Qi, which can allow the dead to cultivate. It is completely different from the world of the living. So, it is very likely to be the outpost of the underworld. Just like the gate of hell, if you cross it, you will find the real way leading to the underworld.”

However, Caicai and Ning Jing didn’t think so much.

Li Mu said, “I’m afraid that the importance of the Ghost Rally Star is far beyond our imagination. Therefore, you have to stay here, rule this place, and accumulate your strength. If the gate of hell opens one day, and some terrible things happen, I’m afraid that I’ll need you to step up and turn the tide.”

Hearing that, Caicai fell silent as well.

She had hoped that she could stay by Li Mu’s side all the time.

But she also hoped that she could do something to help Li Mu and share his pressure.

Li Mu gently rubbed her hair and said softly, “Today’s separation is for the sake of the eternal reunion we’ll have in the future. Caicai, if you want to be the master of your fate, just work hard in cultivation and try to find your granny. We will reunite sooner or later. So, promise me you will guard this world for me.”

“Sure.” Caicai nodded with tears in her eyes. Then, she held Li Mu’s arm tightly and said, “Big Brother, when you have time, you gotta come back and see Caicai.”

Li Mu smiled and said, “Of course.”

Checking the time, Li Mu found that he had stayed on the Ghost Rally Star for more than 50 days.

According to his agreement with Shan Tian, the cycle for his waiting on the Cliff of the Living was one month. So, Li Mu had to return to the cliff of living creatures before the end of the second month.

“Young Master, here are the Ghost Crystals we’ve found in the Three Divine Sects. These crystals contain ghost qi and help you cultivate ghost skills in the world of the living. Young Master, I figure you might find these helpful.” Dong Xue handed over some of the wealth they had collected on the Ghost Rally Star to Li Mu, which included the secret method called the Netherworld and Azure Heavens Two Forms Scripture.

Li Mu did not stand on ceremony.

As for ghost skills, he had never stopped practicing them.

Because Li Mu’s intuition told him that his ghost cultivation would someday come in handy.

It was time to leave.

“Young Master, the 100,000 cultivators of our Bone Sacred Mountain are willing to see you off on your way out of the Ghost Rally Star.”

Ning Jing, who had the demeanor of a senior general, made such a proposal.

Caicai also looked at Li Mu with eager eyes and said, “Big Brother, we wouldn’t go to the universe with you, but we can go see you off, can’t we?”

Dong Xue also said, “Young Master, the 100,000 ghost cultivators are all grateful for your kindness. So they have set up the ghost ships and get everything ready, waiting to escort you out of the area of the Ghost Rally Star. It’s a token of their regard.”

Li Mu nodded and said, “All right.”

Having passed the land of reincarnation, the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain, together with the 100,000 ghost cultivators, boarded a large fleet of flying ships and rose into the air. The fleet was so large that it blotted out the sky and covered the sun. Like an army on an expedition, they sailed out for outer space.

The army of 100,000 ghost cultivators marched out of the ghost gate as the wicked Yin Qi gathered and chilled the universe!

This day, the first force under Li Mu’s command finally showed its fangs to the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

At this time, even Li Mu himself had no idea what kind of enemies were waiting for him outside the area of the Ghost Rally Star and what kind of glory the 100,000 ghost cultivators would later achieve.

The wind blew and the clouds surged.

Li Mu and his army lifted their swords and marched out in the cold ghost rain. The army of white skeletons moved like a high mountain and startled the birds!
