A few years later, Li Muran came to a remote island in the vast West Demon Sea. He took out a transmission note and whispered a few words. A moment later, a teenager flew out of the island to greet him, it was Duanmuyu.

"Senior Li is really timely!" Duanmuyu saw Li Mu and said happily: "Before, the juniors were worried that the seniors were unwilling to come. After all, the juniors have also received the rumors, and the others are using the Xuantian Ancient Vine as a bait to arrest the seniors, if the seniors are afraid of revealing their whereabouts and are unwilling to come to protect the Dharma for the juniors, the juniors can also understand. ”

Li Muran smiled slightly: "What Li promised his son, he will naturally do it." Xiao Yu Gongzi chose this place as a place to cultivate, but it is also very suitable, the nearby heaven and earth vitality is relatively abundant, and there are many such small islands, the place is remote, and there are no high-level monks practicing nearby, it is indeed suitable for impacting the bottleneck of the Mahayana period. ”

Duanmuyu said: "Although this place is remote, the celestial phenomena of our astrology monks when they advanced to Mahayana are very special. The juniors are worried that some people with bad intentions will recognize the origin of the celestial phenomena, which will be unfavorable to the juniors, and even take action to sabotage the juniors' advancement. The younger generations are also worried that the special celestial phenomena will allow the Sun Destroyer and the others to find here, and they have been unselfish about divination all these years, looking for the whereabouts of the astrologers everywhere! Probably because they want to use divination to find the location where Senior Li is hiding. ”

Li Muran nodded, he understood very well why Sun Destroying and the others wanted to find an astrology monk for divination.

Duanmuyu continued: "Now that Senior Li has come to protect the Dharma for the younger generation, the younger generation can rest assured that he will be able to impact the realm of the Mahayana period!

Li Muran praised: "The little fish boy is well prepared, and he should advance smoothly." Childe, go to practice, Li will keep the island safe for you these days. ”

"Thank you, senior!" the little fish boy thanked happily, and suddenly his figure flickered, and there was a young man who was exactly like him in a flash of magic light around him.

"This is the doppelganger of the younger generation's cultivation," Xiao Yu Gongzi said, "The ancestor once said that after the astrological monks have just advanced to Mahayana, it is the time when the power of the laws of heaven and earth is the strongest, and it is also the best time to spy on the heavens and make divination calculations. At that time, the junior will let this doppelganger arrange some of the utensils and rituals, formations and other matters required for high-level divination in advance, and after the junior advances, he will immediately personally divinate a hexagram for Senior Li, and he will definitely be able to divinate the detailed information required by Senior Li!"

"Very good!" Li Muran nodded with satisfaction: "It's just that if you just advanced to the Mahayana stage and perform high-level divination, will it affect the cultivation realm of Xiaoyu Gongzi? ”

Duanmuyu said confidently: "Senior Li doesn't need to worry too much about this, the younger generation has its own measure! To be honest, my astrologers have always had a tradition of divination immediately after advancing to Mahayana, and this time the divination is often the most important and accurate!"

Li Muran saw that Duanmuyu was so well in his chest, so he didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, Duanmuyu began to prepare to attack the bottleneck of the Mahayana period, and Li Muran also prepared a few treasures for him that were slightly helpful to the realm of the Mahayana period - these treasures were originally prepared for Feng Ming and Xiao Lei, and some of the materials were a little more, so they were given to Duanmuyu.

Duanmuyu was very grateful and thanked again and again, although the owner of Duanmu Island left a lot of treasures for Duanmuyu, but it was not necessarily complete, and with Duanmuyu's identity and cultivation, it was difficult to get these treasures. So Li Muran took out these things, and a few of them were very suitable for him.

In recent years, Duanmuyu's advancement has come to fruition, and he has just been waiting for Li Muran to come to protect the Dharma, so he has not tried to break through for a long time. Now that Li Muran has arrived, he immediately began to run the exercises and hit the bottleneck.

After just half a year, a strange celestial phenomenon appeared on the island. At first, an inconspicuous gray cloud condensed over the island, but after a while, the gray cloud absorbed more and more rich demonic energy, becoming more and more extensive, and the color became deeper and deeper, making the sky on the island much darker than elsewhere.

If it were only during the day, it would not be a matter of seeing the gray clouds, because there are often violent storms and rains on the sea, and it is not surprising that there are dark clouds that obscure the sky and the sun. But at night, when thousands of stars shine in the night sky, there are countless stars and dots of magic light shining in this gray cloud, which complement the stars in the night sky, and the scene is so gorgeous that any monk with a little more insight can guess that this is a very unusual celestial phenomenon.

When Li Muran saw this scene, he was both happy and worried. Happily, Duanmuyu had already informed him in advance that this kind of demonic cloud dotted with stars was a unique celestial phenomenon when the astrological monks advanced to Mahayana and sensed the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

What worries Li Muran is that this celestial phenomenon is so special and cannot be concealed, if there happens to be a high-ranking monk passing by nearby, and he happens to recognize the origin of this celestial phenomenon, I am afraid that he will be able to see through the secret of the advanced Mahayana of the astrological monks here.

One night a few days later, two demon cultivators, one old and one young, were attracted by the bright magic cloud and came to the vicinity of the island. The old man is a cultivator in the demon body stage, while the young man only has the Yuan Shen stage.

"Master, what's going on with this magic cloud, how does it look like it's hiding countless stars?" the young man looked at the gorgeous magic cloud above his head, full of surprise.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Born with a vision, either there is a supreme treasure appearing, or there is a high-level cultivator's great advancement!"

"In this remote and desolate depths of the West Demon Sea, where are there any high-level cultivators, there should be a strange treasure in the world. Master, maybe it's my master and apprentice's chance!" said the young man excitedly.

The old man nodded slightly, and he still cautiously looked at the small island under the demon clouds not far away.

Suddenly, he frowned: "There is a strong layer of prohibition on the island, so that the divine thoughts of the teacher cannot be explored, there should be high-level monks practicing here!"

"Since there are masters here, even if there are treasures, there is no share of you and me, master and apprentice, so I'd better leave here immediately!" The old man hurriedly said, "Maybe it's too late!"

"Why is that?" the young man was stunned, he didn't understand why the master was suddenly frightened.

The old man said: "This master chose to lay a ban on cultivation in such a secret place, he must not want to be discovered, my master and apprentice came here by mistake, although they inadvertently broke the trace of the master, but it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not kill me and wait for the mouth to be destroyed!

"Yes!" When the young man heard the word "extinguish", his face changed, and he hurriedly flew away with the old man.

The two of them flew out of more than 100 zhang, and suddenly a layer of black holes appeared in front of them without warning. In an instant, the surrounding light and the vitality of heaven and earth were swallowed by this black hole, and the mana and divine thoughts that the master and apprentice sacrificed outside their bodies were also devoured.

The two of them were shocked, but before they could react, they felt that two powerful divine thoughts had submerged into their bodies, and in an instant, a chill was born from their hearts, and the divine thoughts in their bodies were all frozen, and their bodies became stiff and uncontrollable.

The next moment, the surrounding darkness disappeared, and Li Muran appeared here, and the two demon cultivators, old and young, had already passed out.

Li Muran punched a seal into each of the two of them, and then with a wave of his robe, he took them to a temporary stone chamber somewhere underground on the island, and locked them in one of the stone chambers.

"This is already the eighteenth or nineteenth person!" Li Muran said with a light sigh. Although the island here is remote and desolate, many monks have been attracted by the huge special celestial phenomenon these days, and have rushed to the vicinity of the island one after another to find out the details.

If these people returned to the lively immortal cultivation world such as Fang City, they would most likely mention the special celestial phenomena here with other monks, thus spreading the news and causing more trouble. Therefore, Li Muran captured all these monks alive, sealed them and imprisoned them in the dungeon, and only let them leave after Duanmuyu advanced and they planned to leave the island here.

......

On Xiyun Island, the most lively place in the West Demon Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, in a certain cave mansion.

A richly dressed middle-aged monk shouted angrily to the dozen or so monks who looked like guards under him: "A bunch of waste! I've been looking for so long, but I can't find the Ninth Young Master! In a few days, it will be the first day of the fifth month, and it is also the Cheng family's annual Young Disciple Fighting Method. If the Ninth Young Master can't show up at that time, what excuse will we use to be perfunctory! If the head of the family punishes us and others for this, I am afraid that the consequences of our waiting will be unimaginable!"

One of the guards said: "Lord Hui Governor's Mansion, since the three guards such as the Little Young Master and Liu Er went to the depths of the West Demon Sea seven days ago, but there was no news, we immediately sent more than ten people to search for the vicinity of the sea area, but there is still no result......!

As soon as the guard finished speaking, a guard flew to report that a Taoist priest who claimed to be "Bai Dao Chang" had come to ask to see the steward of Cheng Mansion.

"Finally there is news, please soon!" the middle-aged monk hurriedly ordered. A moment later, an old Taoist priest rushed here with a hurried and solemn expression, and the middle-aged monk's heart sank when he saw the old Taoist priest's expression.

"Is it bad news?" the middle-aged monk's face was like ashes, and a layer of fine sweat broke out from the palms of his fists.
