The light energy overflowing from the body of the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast condensed into an immortal bullet. Soon, the immortal bullet turned into a ring. Its diamond-like body turned as gray as earth, without even the coldness.
Li Xiu reached out and grabbed the ring, then smashed the head of the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast and found the crystal of the divine position.
Unfortunately, the light energy of the magic core had been absorbed by the non-lethal bullet, and a divine magic core was lost.
"Li Xiu, are you really not from the Li family?" Mo Daocang landed behind Li Xiu, looked at him and asked.
"The Li family is definitely the Li family, but not the Li family of Changsheng City." Li Xiu felt that Mo Daocang's question was a bit funny. Does it mean that except for the Li family of Changsheng City, all other people with the surname Li are not human?
"So, you are the descendant of Li Boyang?" Mo Daocang asked again.
“No, I’m just an ordinary person with the surname Li. I had no relationship with anyone in Changshengtian before I joined Changshengtian.” Li Xiu had to explain in detail.
He didn't want to waste his time on such meaningless conversations. Now that he had obtained the two mutant god crystals, he needed to quickly find a place for the evil spirit card to be promoted to godhood.
Who would have thought that after listening to Li Xiu's explanation, Mo Daocang was not disappointed, but overjoyed, and asked more eagerly: "In other words, you are from the sixth group of immortality?"
"No, I'm from the Immortality Group 7." Li Xiu had to answer patiently.
After all, Mo Daocang first gave him the Fire Cloud Pearl that could keep him away from the cold, and then wanted to save him. He was indeed a good man, and Li Xiu was always more patient with good people.
"The Seventh Group of Immortality? There is a new group in Changshengtian?" Mo Daocang immediately understood what Li Xiu meant.
"Yes, I belong to the seventh group of technicians." Li Xiu said.
Mo Daocang was very happy to hear that. He didn't care whether Li Xiu was in the seventh group or any other group. The youngsters in the Changsheng group were already so strong, so wouldn't his Mo family be even stronger?
"Li Xiu, can you tell me how many god positions there are in the Mohist School now?" Mo Daocang asked hurriedly.
"Your Excellency has not returned to Changshengtian for many years, right?" Li Xiu was not a fool. After hearing what Mo Daocang said, he already understood what was going on.
"It's true that I haven't been back for many years." Mo Daocang nodded.
Li Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I really don't know how many gods there are in the Mohist school."
"How could I not know? Could it be that there are too many deity seats in my Mo family and outsiders cannot get to know how many of them there are?" Mo Daocang thought of this possibility.
Li Xiu said with a strange look, "It's possible, but I have never heard of the Mohist school having a deity, nor have I seen one before. You are the first Mohist school deity I have seen."
"How is that possible? Don't lie to me." Mo Daocang was stunned when he heard that.
"I never like to lie, and there is no need to lie to you. If you don't believe it, you will know the truth when you return to Changshengtian." Li Xiu had no choice but to say.
"Even the six groups of Changsheng have lost their god status, how could my Mo family be so miserable that we don't even have a god status?" Mo Daocang couldn't accept this answer. He seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Could it be that something major happened to my Mo family and we are no longer among the group?"
"That's not the case. Mohism is still one of the four major schools." Li Xiu said.
"The four great families?" Mo Daocang was startled again, and after realizing what was happening, he quickly asked, "Who are the four great families now?"
"Sun, Mo, Li, Han."
"Are there only these four families left?" Mo Daocang's expression became more complicated, and he sighed and asked, "Then how many god positions are there among the four major families now?"
"If it's just what I've heard, you should be the only one." Li Xiu used to think that the four major families should not have real gods, but after meeting Mo Daocang, he was no longer sure.
"There is not even one deity among the four great families. How did you get promoted to a deity? How many deities are there in the Sixth Group of Immortality... no... the Seventh Group of Immortality?" Mo Daocang asked with his eyes wide open.
"It seems that I am the only god I know." Li Xiu said, pointing at his nose.
Mo Daocang was not surprised this time, but his expression became uncertain: "Li Boyang is still the same Li Boyang. Are you sure you are not Li Boyang's descendant?"
"I am very sure of this. The president does have descendants, but it is not me." Li Xiu said.
"That's strange. Even no one from the four major families and the seven groups of immortality can be promoted to the status of a god. How did you become a god?" Mo Daocang stared at Li Xiu and asked.
"Maybe it's because I'm lucky." Li Xiu said self-deprecatingly.
He was indeed lucky. If he had not been born with a powerful spiritual awareness, if Bai Qiuyi had not guided him to become a trial-taker, and if the president had not invited him to join Changshengtian, he would not have been able to be promoted so quickly.
"Lucky, I have never heard of anyone being promoted to Godhood by luck." Mo Daocang frowned and continued, "Did Li Boyang help you get promoted to Godhood?"
"I guess so. He gave me a lot of information about gods and demons."
"Is it just the information about gods and demons?" Mo Daocang looked suspicious.
"Yes."
"Didn't he help you kill the divine demon spirit, or give you the divine gem?" Mo Daocang asked without giving up.
"No." Li Xiu shook his head.
"With only the information about the divine demon spirits, you can kill the demon spirits yourself, obtain the divine gems, and ascend to the divine position. You are right, you are indeed very lucky." Mo Daocang sighed.
At this time, Mo Daocang was somewhat disheartened and no longer had the same interest as before.
Seeing that Li Xiu was such a powerful god at such a young age, he thought that Changshengtian had now released his control and that the Mohist School should have produced many gods. Unexpectedly, it was even worse than before and there was not even a single god.
"You asked me so many questions, can I ask you a few questions?" Li Xiu was not in a hurry to leave at this time, and said to Mo Daocang.
"What do you want to ask?" Mo Daocang was a little bored.
"You are the god of Mohism, why don't you return to Mohism? If you return to Mohism, the four great schools will definitely be headed by Mohism." Li Xiu said.
"You think too simply. If I can go back to Changshengtian, those old guys from other families can also go back to Changshengtian. It is still unknown who will be the head of the four major families." Mo Daocang said.
Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "You mean, the other three families also have god-level trialists like you living in the trial grounds?"
"It's not just the other three families, it should be the other seven... families..." Mo Daocang said here, as if he thought of something, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Li Xiu and asked urgently: "You said that the four families that are still among the big families are Sun, Mo, Li, and Han?"
"Yes, is there any problem with that?" Li Xiu vaguely guessed something.
Mo Daocang did not answer Li Xiu, but showed anger on his face: "Li Boyang, if you really do this, I will never let you go."
"Li Xiu, come with me." Mo Daocang said as he flew into the air, like an immortal walking on clouds and suspended in the void.
"I have something else to do..." Li Xiu was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Don't you want to know why a god-level person like me can't return to Changshengtian? Now in Changshengtian, besides Li Boyang, you are the only god-level person. Maybe we are a lesson for you." Mo Daocang said slowly.
Li Xiu was indeed moved. After hesitating for a moment, he flew up on the Fire Lotus Sword.
"Your sword is too slow, let me lead you." Mo Daocang said as he summoned a rhinoceros-like demon spirit, rode on it himself, and then called on Li Xiu to ride on as well.
Li Xiu sat on the back of a rhinoceros-like demon spirit. The demon spirit let out a long roar, then spread out its four hooves and began to run wildly. A divine light like a bullet-shaped light shield appeared on its body, protecting the two of them. It walked in the air, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
"Divine-level demon spirits!" Li Xiu had seen the world today. The demon spirits that Mo Daocang rode on were all of divine level.
The speed of the rhinoceros demon spirit was incredibly fast, as fast as lightning and light. The earth and scenery beneath its feet quickly receded and became blurry and unclear. In the blink of an eye, no one knew how many miles it had run.
The scenery on earth changed very quickly, and by the time the evil spirit stopped, they were no longer in the land of ice and snow.
What lies before my eyes is a dilapidated ancient city. Many parts of the city walls have collapsed. It is gloomy and devoid of any life or light.
Mo Daocang looked at the ancient city in front of him, his face became even uglier, and he shouted directly outside the ancient city: "Old deaf man, are you still there..."
Mo Daocang shouted three times, but no one answered in the ancient city. Instead, he heard a crackling sound, as if countless bamboo joints were breaking.
Mo Daocang's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at Gu Cheng without saying a word.
Li Xiu also looked at the ancient city, and soon he saw a large number of skeleton spirits pouring out of the ancient city like a tide.
Most of those skeleton monsters are low-quality stuff, but there are also quite a few high-level monsters among them.
Because the number is so huge, almost endless like the tide. With such a large base, no matter how small the proportion of high-number monsters is, the number is still considerable.
Li Xiu only took a few glances and saw a lot of light-based demons. Zhu Ling also saw two or three. And this was only a part of the ones that rushed out. He didn't know how many more demons there were in the skeleton army that surged out like a tide. There might even be some god-level demons.
Li Xiu flew up into the sky on the Fire Lotus Sword and immediately saw that in the huge ancient city there, there were densely packed skeleton demons everywhere. The number was so large that it was difficult to count. It was like an ocean with no end in sight. Among them were many high-level demons that shone brightly.
Li Xiu had even seen a god-level bone dragon crawling out from the ruins of the ancient city, flapping its glowing bone wings and about to fly into the sky.
"There are too many skeleton monsters here!" Even Li Xiu felt a little nervous when he saw the tide-like monsters.
With so many demons standing still, it would take him a long time to kill them. What's more, there are also divine demons among them, and he doesn't know how many there are.
A hero cannot defeat four hands, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of hands here. Li Xiu did not want to take the risk of being trapped, and was about to call Mo Daocang to retreat together, but he saw Mo Daocang waving his hand as if to vent his anger.
An ancient blue brick with a strange divine light rose into the air, and then Li Xiu saw a scene that he would never forget.
Pieces of blue bricks fell from the sky, as if the palace in the sky was collapsing, and countless blue bricks from the fairy palace fell to the earth.
The blue bricks fell and hit the skeleton demons, one by one, suppressing and crushing countless skeleton demons. It was as if the invisible power of the gods was building a wall, and all the skeleton demons like a tide were built into the wall.
One after another, ancient green walls rose up, and the walls were full of white bones. Whether they were ordinary demon spirits, light-based spirits, cast spirits, or even god-level bone dragons, they were all built into the walls alive by the green bricks.
In a short moment, a fairy city of blue bricks with fairy light flowing around appeared out of thin air on the originally dilapidated ancient city. However, the countless bones within the city walls were chilling.
When the blue brick returned to Mo Daocang's sleeve, the Blue Brick Fairy City also disappeared, and a crashing sound was heard. The ancient city that had been razed to the ground was covered with bone fragments, magic cores, various talent gems, skill rings, etc.
Li Xiu was somewhat surprised. He destroyed the city with one strike and crushed countless demons. Even the god-level bone dragon died silently. Not even the light of truth had room to bloom. The terrifying strength of Mo Daocang was truly horrifying.
"Old deaf man, you are really dead... Li Boyang, ah Li Boyang... you are really ruthless... It's true that people forget about you after you're gone... Don't you have any friendship at all?" Mo Daocang seemed to have no interest in the magic cores and various items on the ground. He just lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Li Xiu probably had guessed what was going on. It was very likely that there were god-level beings in the eight major families before, but for some unknown reason, these god-level bosses left Changshengtian and stayed in the Demonic Kingdom.
As time went by, some god-level bosses of some families died in the trial grounds, and their families were also kicked out of the ranks of the big families in Changsheng City.
Of course, these are just the conclusions Li Xiu guessed from Mo Daocang's few words. If his guess is true, then the god-level bosses of the Sun, Han, Li, and Mo families should all still be alive.
"Could it be that even though the Li family has declined to this extent, it still has not been kicked out of the ranks of the great families? The Wanchao family's strength has far surpassed that of the current Li family, but it still cannot be included in the ranks of the great families? So this is the root cause." Li Xiu felt that his guess was almost right.
"Do you want to know why I can't go back to Changshengtian?" After a long time, Mo Daocang looked at the ancient city that had been razed to the ground and said dejectedly.
Li Xiu didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Then you have to listen to a story first." Mo Daocang slowly said: "It was a chaotic era. The founders of various thoughts and schools of thought emerged like mushrooms after rain. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloomed, a prosperous era rarely seen in the ages."
"The eight most outstanding founders of the schools disappeared from the world one after another. Everyone thought they were dead, but they didn't know that they were not dead. They were just visited by the same person at different times and took away an unimaginable world..."
"Were they taken away forcibly?" Li Xiu asked.
"You can say yes, but you can also say no." Mo Daocang sighed, "The founders of the eight schools were all gifted with extraordinary talents, rare once in a thousand years. However, after being visited by that person, they were all impressed by his incredible knowledge and ideas. Then he told them about the existence of that world and the secret of immortality, which made them curious and yearning. They wanted to know whether such a world really existed in the world."
"The founders of those eight schools should be the founders of the Eight Great Masters, right?" Li Xiu sighed.
Mo Daocang nodded slightly: "The eight people saw that incredible world one after another, and also obtained the secret of immortality, and gradually became deeply immersed in it and could not extricate themselves. No one wanted to return to the mortal world. They brought their relatives and friends over and continued to practice with that person. Until one day, that person found all eight of them and told them a secret that no one could accept."
"What secret?" Li Xiu's heart beat faster.
"Every bit of power they plunder from this world is pushing this world towards destruction." Mo Daocang said slowly.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiu seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
"At that time, they didn't understand. The man said a word, a world of blooming fireworks." Mo Daocang said, "He compared the world to a firework that is being set off. It is different from the endless cycle that we understood before. According to his theory, the energy of this world is like fireworks. It is not endless. Once the fireworks burn out, this seemingly dazzling world of fireworks will no longer exist. And the power we plunder from this world is like the fuel in the fireworks. The more we plunder, the stronger we become, and the faster the world will be destroyed."
"Such a metaphor is really unconventional and hard to believe." Li Xiu frowned.
"Not only you didn't believe it, they didn't believe it either, until that person took them to see something." A hint of fear actually appeared in Mo Daocang's eyes.
"What is it?" Li Xiu was extremely curious.
"Fireworks ashes." Mo Daocang said word by word.
"Fireworks ashes?" Li Xiu thought about what these four words might represent, but it was a little hard to imagine.
Mo Daocang did not explain, but continued: "They saw it and were afraid, so that person made an agreement with them that in this limited fireworks world, only those who have the possibility of jumping out of this fireworks world are eligible to obtain these limited resources."
Li Xiu now finally understood why there were so few god-level trial-takers in Changshengtian. It turned out that it had always been controlled by humans.
"If this is really a world of fireworks, how is it possible for anyone to jump out of this world?" Li Xiu frowned.
"The answer he gave us is the direction." Mo Daocang said slowly.
