As the top existence in the Lingxiao Universe, Li Mu actually came specifically to find a soldier guarding the gate of Lingxiao Palace. This was something that no one present had expected.
Everyone present knew very well what kind of person Chen Rui was. In Lingxiao Palace, he was just an ordinary person!
However, what they didn't know was that Chen Rui was the incarnation of Li Mu's clone that was created billions of years ago. As the only incarnation still alive in the world, Li Mu thought that his qualifications were too ordinary and he had no ambition. He no longer had much effect on Li Mu's tempering of his character. There was no point in letting Chen Rui stay in the world to gain experience. Therefore, Li Mu came this time to awaken his memory as the original body and take him back to the original body.
In this way, his cultivation can also allow Li Mu to increase his own cultivation. Although this increase is just a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing.
"You guys should take care of your own business first." Li Mu ordered the other soldiers.
"Yes." Everyone bowed, and then returned to their respective posts obediently.
At this moment, everyone felt a strong envy for Chen Rui. Although they were very curious about why the Palace Master came to find Chen Rui, they dared not disobey the Palace Master's orders.
After everyone left, Li Mu took Chen Rui and teleported directly to a void area.
"Chen Rui." Li Mu called softly.
"I'm here." Chen Rui said in fear.
"Haha, you are just too honest." Li Mu smiled bitterly.
Chen Rui was a little confused when he heard this and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I still remember how high-spirited you were when you were young. You stepped into great sects and slew evil demons. You were fearless and full of ambition at that time. I didn't expect that after billions of years, you have become so cautious and even humble." Li Mu sighed.
"Ah~? Palace Master, this..." Chen Rui was extremely shocked. Many thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment. The Palace Master actually said that he remembered his youth. What did this mean?
Li Mu ignored Chen Rui's reaction, but was a little conflicted. According to his original idea, Li Mu was going to directly inject his memories into Chen Rui's sea of consciousness, and then let Chen Rui actively merge into his body.
But when he really stood in front of Chen Rui, Li Mu actually hesitated. After all, Chen Rui was his clone, and the only clone that survived these 103 billion years. Although he had never interfered with Chen Rui's experience, Li Mu could empathize with everything he experienced, every decision he made, every joy and every sadness.
It can be said that he is Chen Rui, and before Chen Rui restored Li Mu's original form, he basically had no significant relationship with Li Mu. So will Chen Rui, an independent individual, be wiped out?
Thinking of this, Li Mu secretly shook his head and thought to himself: "Am I going crazy? 'Chen Rui' is originally my clone, how can it be called an independent individual? It is only natural to let it return to its original body."
After figuring this out, Li Mu took a deep breath and raised his hand just as he was about to point a finger at Chen Rui's brow.
"No." A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Mu.
"Jiang Yuer?" Li Mu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little alert.
As the master of the outer hall of Lingxiao Hall, Jiang Yuer had lost contact with Li Mu after the disappearance of Qiongzu Universe 100 billion years ago. How could she appear here today? Moreover, as Li Mu is the master of Lingxiao Universe, Jiang Yuer could actually appear in front of Li Mu quietly!
"It's me. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you." Jiang Yuer said with a smile.
"Malice?" Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. He is now the ancestor of Hongmeng. Looking at the two high-dimensional universes of Lingqiong, who can pose a threat to him except the ancestor of Tianyi?
"So what is your purpose?" Li Mu asked calmly. He had just confirmed through his spiritual sense that the person in front of him was actually Jiang Yuer. However, at this time, the connection between Jiang Yuer and his sea of consciousness had been completely severed, so he could not see Jiang Yuer's thoughts through Jianmu.
It was really weird at this moment. The only answer Li Mu could think of was that Jiang Yuer had been controlled by Tianyi. Therefore, Li Mu no longer had any trust in Jiang Yuer.
"I'm here to tell you that you're on the wrong path." Jiang Yuer said seriously, "It's not advisable to cultivate a clone to nourish the original body!"
"Tianyi asked you to tell me this?" Li Mu still looked indifferent.
Jiang Yuer shook her head and smiled gently, "Li Mu, promise me not to take this road."
Li Mu was slightly startled when he heard this. Somehow, a picture suddenly emerged in his mind: it was a tragic battlefield, a man and his enemy were forced into a desperate situation, and suddenly a woman in white clothes stained with blood rushed towards the man's enemy from a distance. Before the man could react, a scorching white light exploded in front of his eyes.
After the white light, the woman and the enemy disappeared, leaving only a weak soul.
Even though she was facing the prospect of her soul being torn apart, the woman's spirit still said to Li Mu in a gentle manner: "Li Mu, promise me that you will stay alive and take good care of Yun Qing and Yun Xi."
Then the woman's soul turned into starlight and dispersed in the wind.
That’s right, this was exactly the scene when Li Mu had just arrived in the fairyland. Li Mu’s Taoist partner Yin Ruolan blew herself up in order to save Li Mu.
Although Li Mu later learned that Yin Ruolan had been resurrected, this had become Li Mu's lingering obsession.
Speaking of Yin Ruolan, Li Mu has never seen her since the earth's freezing crisis more than 180 billion years ago, and Li Mu's third son Li Yunjin has also been lost.
Over the years, Li Mu has spent a lot of time looking for their traces, but to no avail. In fact, Yin Ruolan's true identity is very mysterious, and definitely not as simple as he once knew. Li Mu even suspected that Yin Ruolan was the first generation of "heretic demon". This idea was very bold, but even so, he still couldn't find Yin Ruolan by following this clue.
You should know that Li Mu had been promoted to the ancestor of Hongmeng hundreds of billions of years ago. As the lord of Lingxiao Universe, he could know all the situations of Lingxiao Universe in a single thought. Although the Qiongzu Universe had disappeared after he became the ancestor of Hongmeng, he had no time to explore every corner of the Qiongzu Universe on a large scale, but before he was promoted to the ancestor of Hongmeng, he had already sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Yin Ruolan and others in the Qiongzu Universe. Ji Gulan even infiltrated the high-level of the Ji family, and used the power of the Ji family to search for clues about Yin Ruolan, but in the end he got nothing.
However, today, Li Mu actually associated Yin Ruolan with Jiang Yuer. This is definitely not a coincidence!
