Mo Xi, in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, was also surrounded by rich spiritual energy. He focused on his practice, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy and transforming it into his own cultivation. However, during his cultivation, he encountered many difficulties, but with his unwavering will, he repeatedly broke through the bottlenecks.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mu Li slowly opened her eyes, a powerful aura emanating from her body, her eyes gleaming with confidence and composure. She had successfully broken through to the peak of the Refining Void stage, just one step away from entering the Mahayana stage. Mu Li glanced at the pets still diligently cultivating around her and quietly exited the space.
At the same moment, Mo Xi also finished his training and walked out of the Nine Nether Secret Realm. He stood tall and straight, with a restrained aura, as if he had merged with the world.
After the two met again in the palace, they smiled at each other and could feel each other's strength.
"Ali!"
"Brother Prince!"
The two were reunited after a long separation and their excitement was beyond words.
"What is your current cultivation level, Prince? Why can't I see your cultivation level clearly?" Mu Li was a little depressed.
"It's just a little taller than you." Mo Xi said with a smile.
"Well, it seems that I'm not working hard enough!" Mu Li suffered a little blow!
"Ali, you're already amazing! You've been reborn in this life, and to have achieved so much in just twenty years, your talent is incredible!" Mo Xi said gently. "And now, all you need is an opportunity to break through to the Mahayana stage, so don't worry!"
"Yeah, that's true. Although I have recovered the memories and divine power of my previous life, I am only twenty years old in this life. When you think about it this way, I am really amazing!" Mu Li said with a smile.
"Yeah, that's amazing!" Mo Xi agreed.
"Brother Prince, let's go and see what the situation is outside!" Mu Li said.
"good."
The two of them came to the Lyra Continent together and found that everything was normal, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
"Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that the man has been seriously injured after losing the World-Destroying Black Lotus. Everything is peaceful in the world of cultivation for the time being!" Mu Li said.
"Well. Let's go to the human world again!" said Mo Xi.
"good."
The two came to Qinchuan Continent and saw that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on their faces.
But Mu Li always felt something was strange. She whispered to Mo Xi, "Prince brother, it seems calm here, but there seems to be an undercurrent hidden." Mo Xi frowned slightly and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street. The two rushed over to see that it was a Taoist priest who was performing a spell, surrounded by curious people.
The Taoist priest muttered something, his peach wood sword dancing in his hand. He suddenly pointed at a child in the crowd and shouted, "This child is possessed by an evil spirit! You must take him to the Mountain God Mountain as soon as possible and ask the mountain god to exorcise the evil spirit. Only then can you save your life!"
The child's mother was so scared that she cried and begged for mercy.
Mu Li couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to stop them. But the Taoist priest said arrogantly: "Young lady, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself."
Mo Xi stood up and released a trace of pressure, and the Taoist priest suddenly turned pale.
Mo Xi said in a cold voice: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless." The Taoist priest ran away crawling.
Mu Li picked up the child and comforted him, and the child's mother thanked her profusely.
After the matter was settled, Mu Li said to Mo Xi: "Brother Crown Prince, there must be something fishy behind this. We must investigate it thoroughly."
Mo Xi held her hand tightly: "Don't worry, Ali, I left a trace of breath on that Taoist priest. No matter how far he escapes, I can find him."
"Prince brother is so smart, why didn't I think of it?" Mu Li said with admiration.
"Haha... stop joking, let's go somewhere else!" Mo Xi said with a smile.
"good."
The two visited several surrounding towns and discovered that similar incidents had occurred repeatedly over the past three years. Each time, a Taoist priest would accuse a child of being possessed by an evil spirit, causing panic among the locals, who would then send the child to a sacred mountain designated by the Taoist priest.
"It seems that this so-called mountain god has a big problem! What have they been doing by kidnapping so many children in the past three years?" Mu Li asked with a frown.
"Why don't we go and take a look?" Mo Xi said as he cast a spell to track the Taoist priest along the breath, and finally came to a Taoist temple in a remote valley.
The Taoist temple was filled with a foul odor, and strange runes were plastered all around. The Taoist priest was kneeling before a man in a black robe, trembling.
The black-robed man snorted coldly: "You can't even handle such a small matter."
"Sir, I had just succeeded, but suddenly His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed up. I was afraid of being exposed, so I had to leave first!" The Taoist explained tremblingly.
"Crown Prince? I heard that the Crown Prince of Zhaoyue Kingdom has been bedridden for many years and rarely shows up. What is there to be afraid of a mere mortal? Useless thing!" The man in black robe cursed disdainfully!
"Sir, I can feel that the prince has a very strong aura. He definitely cannot be someone who has been ill for a long time!" the Taoist said hurriedly.
"Don't make excuses if you are useless! Go down! Continue to trick those lowly people into sending their children to the sacred mountain!" The black-robed man interrupted the Taoist priest!
"Yes..." The Taoist priest crawled on the ground and responded tremblingly.
Mo Xi and Mu Li exchanged a glance and decided not to alert anyone inside before quietly sneaking into the temple to investigate. Deep within the temple, they found a secret room filled with numerous giant water vats, each containing a child, their faces pale and lifeless.
Mu Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and the man in black robe and the Taoist priest noticed it instantly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" the Taoist priest exclaimed.
The man in black robe laughed and said, "Prince of Zhaoyue Kingdom? Since you are here, don't leave." After that, he summoned a group of puppets to attack them.
Mo Xi formed hand seals, and a golden light shot out, instantly shattering many puppets. Mu Li also waved her sleeves, and divine power surged out, entangling some of the puppets. The two fought side by side, gradually approaching the black-robed figure.
"How could this happen? Who are you?" Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black robe wanted to escape.
Mo Xi used all his strength to cast a spell to hit the man in black robe. The man in black robe's mask fell off, revealing a face covered with strange runes.
"Demon cultivator?!" Mo Xi said in surprise.
"So what!" the man in black robe shouted arrogantly.
"Why did you arrest these children?" Mu Li asked angrily.
"Hahaha... It's okay to tell you, of course it's used to practice magical skills! The master's magical skills are about to be perfected, and then the three realms will be dominated by the master alone! You all must die!!!" The man in black robe said as he attempted to self-destruct.
Mo Xi realized it in time and teleported out with Mu Li. With a loud bang, the Taoist temple was blown into ruins.
"Brother Crown Prince, who do you think is the person behind this? He actually used the pure spirit of a child to practice magic. He is worse than a beast!" Mu Li cursed angrily.
"Ali, there are always evil people in this world who try to destroy peace, but as long as we join hands, we can protect this land." Mo Xi looked at Mu Li affectionately.
"Well, Prince brother, let's go and take a look at the so-called sacred mountain!" Mu Li responded with a smile.
"good."
