The Divine Martial Stars

It was also an extremely shocking day for Su Cuo and Xiao Dong.

The light of the howling Dao was like lightning.

All the intruders were decapitated. It was quite a sight to see that their heads were all over the place.

"It is almost over."

At sunset, Li Mu stopped.

"Get back."

The mighty Dao carrying the three people flew to the base.

The sunset, like blood, dyed the snow of Mount Qilian red.

The snowstorm was gradually dispersed.

Half an hour later, Li Mu and others hopped in a pale yellow military car outside the military restricted zone, then they entered the perimeter.

The military car sped along the primitive Gobi Desert, creating a long dust tornado that trailed behind them.

Li Mu closed his eyes to meditate and adjust his breath.

Although there was Spiritual Qi on earth, it was very thin. Spiritual Qi on earth was a far cry from the Divine Land's place with the poorest Spiritual Qi. Li Mu was furious, since he had killed many foreign strong men, which consumed a lot of his Natural Qi. It was a great loss that he couldn't draw and recover from the outside world. In fact, it was the flying of the mighty Dao and the research that consumed relatively more Natural Qi. It wasn't a problem for Li Mu to kill those so-called foreign super strong men.

He operated his Xiantian Skill and absorbed Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth in order to adjust his condition.

Meanwhile, for Li Mu, that day's battle was a process of sensing and learning about laws of heaven and earth.

He was able to learn some things.

His only regret was that he didn't sense the traces left by the old faker even after searching all of Mount Qilian. Li Mu also went to the place that was mentioned by the military in the briefing, which indicated that the old faker had once gone to that place, but he found nothing.

It seemed difficult to find the old faker.

During that time, Li Mu had tried Taoist magic arts to calculate his whereabouts. However, nature's mysteries were very obscure, so he couldn't see clearly. He had no choice but to give it up.

Presumably, some barricades had yet to be dismantled, so the old faker didn't want to show up.

"What's that over there?" Su Cuo asked suddenly.

Looking out the window at the Gobi Desert, Su Cuo noticed that a large construction site was under urgent construction. Most buildings were made of steel. There was almost no cement and tiles, and even steel walls were being welded. The site covered an area of roughly more than 1000 mu. A loud droning came from this steel site. At first glance, it looked like a large steel monster crouching on the Gobi Desert.

The military officer in the passenger seat answered, "It's the martial arts field under construction."

Su Cuo quickly grasped the gist.

The military wanted to grab this opportunity to completely clamp down on the booming power of Wulin. Therefore, they, in the name of the country, would hold the first Martial Arts Society Assembly in the military restricted zone. Evidently, this martial arts field was the venue. However, the documents previously sent by the strategic support department indicated that the Martial Arts Society Assembly would be held after half a month. The schedule for constructing the martial arts field was very tight.

After hearing their conversation, Li Mu's heart was moved, and he opened his eyes to look out the window.

On the boundless Gobi Desert, in addition to some splendid achnatherums and brambles, there was only gravel, pebbles, solonetz and shallow dried up river beds created by floods. The place was previously an unpopulated area. However, hundreds of thousands of military troops were currently stationed in the area. As the Martial Arts Society Assembly gained momentum, this zone would exert a huge impact on the country for a very long period.

Li Mu also wanted to have a glimpse of the level of domestic martial arts, to find out if the Seven Sacred Sects, like the True Spirit Sect and the Star Observing Sect he encountered before, were truly notable. As a matter of fact, he hoped to see some real masters of martial arts, even enemies who had integrity and style.

What's more, Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire had once suggested that some sages had left the earth to carve out the Path and find a way to salvage it, while some sages chose to stay on earth to find means from their own selves. For sages, a millennium was a moment. Even if Spiritual Qi on earth had been depleted and life was short, didn't the sages living on earth leave their inheritances?

Li Mu thought it would be impossible.

Besides Lao Zi and Confucius, many other sages had appeared in that era. Even in the Tang dynasty, the poet-immortal Li Bai was able to leave the earth. Of course, he might have been able to do so in virtue of the power of the Path left by predecessors. However, it pointed to the fact that there were septons in the Tang dynasty, and men like Li Bai had once carried out massacres on the Divine Land and shocked the earth. Their power was definitely stronger than Li Mu himself.

Since the earth had run out of Spiritual Qi, all the Cultivation Methods inherited could no longer be practiced on earth, just like Zhenwu Boxing and the Xiantian Skill passed down by the old faker; they had all become radio gymnastics, but some traces would be definitely left.

In recent days, Spiritual Qi was emerging on earth once again. Would these traces come back to life?

Would those who had the inheritances left by the ancient sages appear?

Li Mu had high expectations for this to be so.

The Martial Arts Society Assembly held by the government was a chance. Maybe someone like that would appear.

Instantly, Li Mu got excited and did a lot of thinking.

At the same time, the soldier Xiao Dong next to him was looking at the outside world nervously.

He was only a common sentry who went through numerous obstacles under the freezing environment to serve his country. However, because he was limited by the weaponry of the services, ranks and military ranks, he had never seen such a tight and forbidding military base.

Because of the sudden change of the 9527 sentry post, he was ordered by his superior to report and to get the chance to enter this mysterious military restricted zone.

Big and small camps were located in the Gobi Desert and strategic arms could also be seen.

Recently, his sight was as good as an eagle's. He could clearly see the words and signs on the walls and arms thousands of kilometers away.

Apart from the Xian Li Mu, the men who sat beside Xiao Dong were chiefs whose military ranks were much higher than his. It made Xiao Dong more nervous.

"Buddy, are you interested in learning martial arts?"

Li Mu's suddenly asked the little soldier beside him after finishing his contemplation.

"Oh?" Xiao Dong gave a little start but got his point immediately.

By asking that question, Li Mu probably wanted to pass martial arts on to him.

Li Mu's flying mighty Dao and throwing daggers to kill enemies from tens of miles away fascinated intensely. If he could attain Li Mu's level of ability, he would be able to protect more people. However, the little soldier thought about it and stammered, "I, I, I… I have to report and ask permission to the chief of the troops."

After hearing his answer, Li Mu couldn't help laughing.

Su Cuo, cool and beautiful, covered her forehead and felt anxious for this little soldier. Su Cuo said, "Sure enough, you're a little winter melon. Oh no, a little silly melon. This is a great opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Agree first; I will help you seek approval from the troops." At the end of the day, she made was acquainted to Xiao Dong, so she could talk with him as a big sister.

She admired and favored Xiao Dong deeply.

He was real people's army, a real soldier. He had a spine of steel, an iron will and a great loyalty to his country.

In Su Cuo's eyes, if such a young man could inherit Li Mu's mantle, he would be worth a million lions in the future. It was the right thing to do for Xiao Dong himself, the army and even the whole nation.

Therefore, she hastened to persuade Xiao Dong into agreeing to Li Mu's invitation.

The little soldier was wishy-washy.

The troop chief was Su Cuo; she and Xiao Dong were not in the same system and subordinate relationship. He wanted to agree, but he was still worried about the discipline. He was embarrassed but he didn't know how to explain.

Li Mu said with a smile, "No rush. You can apply first. My words always count."

He did have the intention of fostering him.

His Cultivation Method was omnipotent in heaven and the earth. He could find a foothold in the universe even if he was out of the earth. However, it was difficult for him to defend the precious things in the world alone. He knew well that one log cannot prop up a tottering building on the Divine Land; therefore, he started to foster Qing Feng, Ming Yue and the others.

Once he arrived on earth, Li Mu intended to choose some real loyal and righteous men to stand by his side to prop up the earth.

When Xiao Dong was faced with the cruel Desert Camel in the sentry post, the high spirits and character he showed moved Li Mu.

At that time, Li Mu had the intention of fostering Xiao Dong, therefore, the Spiritual Qi of the eagle with golden eyes was injected into Xiao Dong's body.

While Xiao Dong's reaction just then made Li Mu favor him more.

While facing the Desert Camel, Xiao Dong didn't succumb to power. Facing the cruel natural conditions in the sentry post, he wasn't shaken by the poverty. After seeing Li Mu's magical power and facing the temptation of inheriting his power, he was concerned about discipline as a soldier. He was impervious to riches and honors.

As Mencius said, "True great men are those who don't succumb to power, undisturbed by poverty and impervious to riches and honors.

Xiao Dong was a great man.

Just as continued talking, after eight inspections, the military car finally entered the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center which was heavily guarded. A staff member picked up the little soldier Xiao Dong. Su Cuo also went to her apartment to report and to find someone to break the code of the USB flash drive. While the man who greeted Li Mu was the old acquaintance Fan Zu'ang, he was a senior officer of the strategic support department who resided in the satellite launch base.

"Serval leaders want to see you," Fan Zu'ang said seriously.

Li Mu felt slightly shocked and had some feelings about this.

Could he finally see those who stood at the peak of power in the country?

This was just a dream from five or six years in the past.

"We already took notice of the news gathered by Miss Su. Mu, you have shocked me once again. After the leaders read the news that you decapitated those foreign strong men, they will most likely go to the base specially for you and have someone wait for you for an hour," Fan Zu'ang said, " It is rare to see the leaders so happy. I heard that they prepared the national wine for you especially. This is the treatment for scholars of the country. Even I am jealous of you."
