Li Mu boarded his flying sword and flew southwest. More than an hour later, a stone forest appeared in his consciousness.
Through Tan Li, Li Mu learned about Shizhong Temple, which is said to be located in this stone forest.
Li Mu landed his flying sword and appeared at the entrance of the stone forest.
He entered the Stone Forest not for sightseeing, but for revenge.
Shi Zhongtian of Shizhong Temple was his mortal enemy. If it weren't for that monk's intervention, he wouldn't have been forced to jump off the cliff.
Although he was rescued by the Golden Pearl after jumping off the cliff and entering the Golden Pearl World due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power, he also gained an opportunity.
However, he had to avenge Shi Zhongtian's pursuit, and besides, he also had the matter of intercepting and killing the Cheng family of Xishan.
To avoid appearing too strange, Li Mu released his divine sense to observe the various landscapes in the stone forest along with the crowd, searching for the location of the Stone Temple.
Stone Forest, a masterpiece of nature, is located in Misapo, Yunnan Province, and boasts one of the world's most unique karst landforms.
The rocks here come in all shapes and sizes; some resemble mushrooms, some bamboo shoots, and some animals, making one marvel at the wonders of nature.
Stone Forest is a scenic spot and historical site, attracting quite a few tourists.
Every year, tens of thousands of tourists flock here to admire this unique landscape.
Standing at the entrance to the Stone Forest, Li Mu was awestruck by the sight before him.
A massive stone peak rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds, resembling a giant standing tall between heaven and earth.
Around the stone peak, there are countless stone pillars, stalagmites, and stone buds, each with a different shape.
Some resemble swords, some bamboo shoots, and some stalactites, making them dazzling to behold.
As you climb the path along the stone peak, you'll find the scenery becoming increasingly unique.
If you go up to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Stone Forest.
Countless stone peaks, pillars, stalagmites, and buds form a unique picture.
It makes people feel the wonders of nature.
.
Although Li Mu had no intention of traveling, after walking around with the crowd, he was deeply impressed by the scenery of the Stone Forest.
However, it's a bit of a shame that the exact location of Ishikatsu-ji Temple was not found.
He believed that Tan Li would not lie, and since the Stone Temple existed here, it meant that his observations were not careful enough.
Standing on the mountaintop, Li Mu scanned the scenery below within his field of vision again and quickly noticed the differences.
The stone forest at the foot of the mountain appears chaotic, yet there are clues to be found, with many places showing traces of formations.
Li Muxin said that it was no wonder that the location of Shizhong Temple could not be observed; it must be hidden within these formations.
These formations are not part of the tourist routes; the places we passed through before were all detours, and the formations were essentially restricted areas.
Standing on the mountaintop, Li Mu memorized some of the unique features below and began his rapid descent.
Li Mu arrived at the foot of the mountain and, in the place closest to those natural formations, immediately became invisible, disappearing from the spot in a few flashes.
After entering the restricted area, Li Mu used his divine sense to observe every plant and tree inside.
This place is indeed sparsely populated, with many vines and withered branches, and towering stone mountains and ground covered with moss.
More than an hour later, Li Mu had roughly circled around inside, and to his surprise, he ended up back where he started.
Moreover, when he was observing from the mountaintop, he made a point of noting down some of the rocky hills for location purposes.
Now, after going around in circles, he has seen all those rocky hills, but they are not in the locations he remembers.
This is very strange. Could it be that the formation has been activated?
Li Mu was no ordinary person, nor did he observe with his naked eyes; he used his divine sense, which was constantly being projected outwards.
Soon, Li Mu sensed a much denser spiritual energy than outside at a rocky mountain within the formation, which resembled the formation's core. He felt relieved.
He should currently be in a naturally generated illusion array.
If he hadn't known that Ishikatsuji was here, he would have sat down on the ground and started cultivating.
There is not only an illusion array here, but also a spirit gathering array. The spiritual energy gathered by the spirit gathering array is enough for him to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
.
Now that he understood what kind of formation it was, Li Mu began to search for the formation's core and the life gate within it.
Half an hour later, he found the exit and came out.
After exiting the formation, Li Mu immediately became invisible and then boarded his flying sword to leave.
He couldn't break this natural illusion array. Once he found the Stone Temple and started fighting, he would easily get lost in the array.
He wanted to find a place to forge some array flags, and then use his own array flags for guidance, so that he could advance and retreat freely.
Only by not being affected by the formation can he concentrate on dealing with Shi Zhongsi and Shi Zhongtian.
Fifteen minutes later, in a desolate hill, Li Mu landed his flying sword.
To expedite the refining of the array flags, Li Mu directly entered the Golden Pearl World.
Compared to real time outside, the time difference is 1 to 30, and a day is enough for him to refine dozens of array flags.
Li Mu took out fifty gold bars from the Golden Pearl World. Each of these gold bars weighed one hundred grams. Since he had obtained them for free from Liao Yunfeng, he didn't feel bad about using them.
There are many kinds of materials needed to refine array flags. Using gold to refine them is not the best, but it is definitely not bad either.
Because of his unfamiliarity with cultivation level and refining techniques, it took him a whole day to refine three array flags in the Golden Pearl World.
After tidying up his things, Li Mu went straight to the large iron pot to refine the items. The situation improved somewhat, and he was able to refine five items a day.
As his understanding of the Dao of Arrays deepened beside the iron pot, and his refining techniques became more and more refined, the refining of array flags became faster and faster.
Seven days later, the fifty array flags were completed, but Li Mu did not leave the Golden Pearl World.
.
He then took out the wooden tooth to refine it, and after a whole month, he had only refined it to about 60%.
After refining it to 60%, Li Mu sensed a new sword move, the second move of Mu Ya's own sword move, Water-Born Wood - Summoning Spirit.
Li Mu was very satisfied with his understanding of this move.
Once this move is used, during the attack, Muya can automatically summon surrounding spiritual energy to infuse into the sword.
The second move of Muya, Summoning Spirit, is similar to an attack bonus, which is equivalent to indirectly reducing Li Mu's output of spiritual energy.
Happily putting away the wooden tooth, Li Mu took out the Soul-Summoning Bell again to refine it.
Last time at Wudao Mountain, the Soul-Summoning Bell was only 20% refined, and only had a simple defensive effect.
Another month and a half later, the Soul-Summoning Bell had only been refined to 40%. Its defensive effect had not increased, but it could now be controlled at will.
In other words, the summoning bell needs to be prepared in advance and infused with a large amount of spiritual energy to achieve the defensive effect.
Now, all you need to do is throw out the summoning bell, and you can defend against it and put it away through your divine sense and will.
After putting everything away, Li Mu took out a pill from his ring, took it, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
For nearly three months, Li Mu had been working non-stop, and his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted, requiring replenishment.
During this period, I have been busy refining array flags and refining weapons and magical artifacts. My cultivation level has not increased at all, but my spiritual sense has increased considerably.
If the range of divine sense perception was previously ten thousand meters, it has now increased to about twelve thousand meters, which is truly an unexpected gain.
Two days later, Li Mu confidently left the Golden Pearl World.
I spent almost three months in the Golden Pearl World, but in reality, less than three days have passed.
