Beyond the realm of the divine lands, in the east, at the barrier.
Li Mu came here to investigate the barrier.
Unexpectedly, after a series of swift actions, a teleportation array appeared in his consciousness.
Because of the fog, Li Mu, although he discovered the teleportation array, dared not approach it rashly.
He withdrew his divine sense, took a few steps back, bowed to a martial artist beside him, and asked:
"Greetings, fellow Daoist. My name is Li Mu. I wonder if this place is a barrier? Why is no one entering the mist?"
Upon hearing the question, the martial artist clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied:
"Fellow Daoist, you're probably not from the Eastern Divine Continent, right? Some people say this place is a barrier, but I'm not sure if that's true or not."
As for this fog, no one dares to enter rashly. It's said that if you enter, you'll encounter a "ghost wall," which some people call a "barrier."
"Being trapped in a maze of ghosts!?"
Li Mu was becoming increasingly confused by this person's explanation.
Is it possible to see a ghost wall in broad daylight? Is it a ghost wall or a barrier?
"Fellow Daoist, I have never been inside, so I don't know what happened."
This person was quite kind; upon hearing Li Mu's question, he replied with another sentence.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist, my junior brother entered the mist last time, so I know a little about it."
According to him, the scene inside the fog was the same as what he saw outside; it was so blurry that he couldn't even see his own hands and feet.
Moreover, once inside the fog, you can only walk a few steps before coming right back out.
Li Mu was quite taken aback when he heard yet another enthusiastic martial artist chime in.
He could probably understand this person's words as meaning that the fog was strange, blocking his vision or affecting his optic nerve.
People can go in, but they can't go far. It's not that people who go in don't want to go forward, but that they come out on their own after taking a few steps.
He had never encountered such a situation even if he had lived two lifetimes.
Looking at the dividing line separated by the mist, it stretched endlessly, like a natural chasm.
Li Mu fell into deep thought.
.
A moment later, when he scanned the fog again with his divine sense, he found that it had returned to a distance where he could only scan a few meters.
When he released his divine sense and used the same method as before, he saw the teleportation array again, and new doubts arose in his mind.
The folk tale of being trapped in a maze by ghosts is a vague concept in the minds of ordinary people, and it simply doesn't exist for someone like him who cultivates immortality.
According to those two, if this place really is a barrier, could the teleportation array in his divine sense be a mirror reflection of the barrier?
If it's a mirror reflection, then this teleportation array might not be in Shenzhou; it could be on the other side of the barrier.
Li Mu stood in the crowd, staring blankly at the mist, a sudden doubt arising in his mind.
Seeing Li Mu's stunned expression, Yue Ling gently nuzzled him with her body.
"Okay! Yue Ling, you stay here for a while. I want to go and take a look inside the mist."
Whether he encountered a ghost wall, a barrier, or an illusion array in the fog, he wanted to experience it for himself.
"Ah! My husband, didn't they say we couldn't go in here? Why did you still go in?"
Yue Ling listened to the entire conversation between Li Mu and the two martial artists, as she did not want her husband to take any risks.
"Yueling, you heard it too. They said you can't go far in this fog. I'm just going to experience it. I'll probably be out in no time."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Mu looked at Yue Ling's innocent face and had no choice but to agree to let her go explore the mist together.
Holding the Snow Spirit Fox and pulling her husband's arm, Yue Ling walked together into the mist amidst the astonished expressions of all the martial artists.
Li Mu had only taken two steps into the mist when he could no longer sense the presence of Yue Ling and Xue Linghu.
His divine sense had been focused on the teleportation array in front of him, but due to distraction, all he could see with his divine sense and eyes was mist.
Moreover, he felt as if he were standing on a giant millstone, and the direction he was going had changed.
After taking two more steps forward, he actually walked out of the fog.
"Look, the tide is going out..."
Standing at the edge of the mist, Li Mu heard the uproar among the crowd and, in his divine sense, saw Yue Ling chasing after the Snow Spirit Fox running ahead.
He ignored the crowd surging toward the edge of the mist and chased after Yue Ling.
.
After entering the mist, Yue Ling could no longer sense her husband's presence, and the snow fox in her arms broke free.
After taking two anxious steps forward, she found herself out of the fog.
Xiaoxue seemed frightened and had already fled into the distance.
She instinctively chased after the Snow Spirit Fox, and when she caught up with Little Snow, her husband was already beside her.
"My lord, Xiaoxue seems to have been frightened."
Li Mu saw the fear in the Snow Spirit Fox's eyes. Spirit beasts are more sensitive to such strange things than humans.
"I can see that the little one is alright. Yue Ling, let's find a place to stay for now."
He could roughly tell that this was indeed a barrier, with mist obscuring the illusion, making it impossible to see through and thus impossible to enter.
If a person enters the fog, he will keep walking forward and may never come back.
He took Yue Ling and boarded the flying sword, leaving the barrier behind.
To investigate the barrier within the mist, he needed to make some preparations, wondering if it was possible to set up an array within the mist.
To set up the formation, he also needed to refine a large number of formation flags. He did have some spirit stones, which he could use to activate the formation.
An hour later, the two appeared in a valley, which was hundreds of kilometers away from the barrier.
Li Mu took out the house-making magic item, and the two people and the fox moved into the villa.
The Snow Spirit Fox, having been poisoned by the Demon Spirit Flower and recently frightened, has become extremely listless.
He decided to stay here for a while, refine some array flags, and then explore that mysterious barrier.
The nature of the barrier meant he couldn't take Yue Ling with him when he crossed the barrier.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Yue Ling.
Once he entered the barrier and could not return, only Yue Ling remained in Shenzhou.
To see her again, you'll have to return via the teleportation array.
He crafted the array flags to create an escape route for himself using the array.
Setting up an array within a barrier was unheard of, and even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he was determined to give it a try.
.
Li Mu entered the Golden Pearl World in the villa and began refining array flags.
Two days later, Li Mu emerged from the Golden Pearl Time, having spent two months refining several hundred array flags.
Seeing that Yue Ling was feeling down, Li Mu comforted her for a while before starting to forge the flying sword.
He had already collected all the materials for the flying sword, which he originally intended to refine for Lin Hongluan, but now he also had Yue Ling.
He has a 50% chance of leaving the barrier during his exploration, so he has to forge a flying sword for Yue Ling in advance.
Several hours later, he guided Yue Ling to spit out a mouthful of essence blood, which activated the refined flying sword.
Yue Ling was only briefly happy after learning to use the flying sword.
In her mind's eye, she sensed that her husband was about to leave.
Although it wasn't exactly a separation of life and death, she hadn't had enough of the good days she and her husband had, and she was very reluctant to part with him.
She knew her husband didn't belong here and would leave one day, but she just didn't want him to leave so soon.
Li Mu looked at the still listless Snow Spirit Fox, then at the reluctant Moon Spirit, and said:
“Yueling, you know I don’t belong here, and I’ll have to leave sooner or later.”
I have relatives waiting for me outside, and there are some things I need to explain to them.
Don't worry, I will return as soon as possible. We are husband and wife, and I will always remember the kindness and love we have for each other.
