Chapter 828
Infiltrating the Great Luo Heaven
Su Mu carefully assessed his own strength.
The Yanfu Sect can rival the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, even with the combined forces of the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Hengshan Sect, they were no match for the Great Luo Heaven.
Overall, the combined strength of the Great Luo Heaven and the Great Qian Dynasty is definitely superior to his.
Moreover, both sides have agreed to a truce.
If he were to initiate a war, it would only give others something to criticize him for.
Then the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Luo Heaven will have a legitimate reason to attack them.
The Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Luo Heaven are currently dealing with him covertly, not openly.
If they act secretly.
Su Mu himself was not confident that he could deal with the many Dao Realm experts from the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Luo Heaven on his own.
In particular, there is an unfathomable Eternal Heaven among them.
"Alright, I've delivered the message. I have to go back as soon as possible, otherwise if I'm discovered, my entire Du family will be executed."
Du Rongcheng said, waved to Su Mu, and was about to leave.
He was already showing great loyalty by taking such a big risk to inform Su Mu.
There was nothing more he could do.
No matter how you look at it, Du Rongcheng is nothing more than a Dao Source Realm martial artist.
He had neither the qualifications nor the ability to get involved in the conflicts between these Dao Realm experts.
Su Mu watched Du Rongcheng leave without saying a word to stop him.
Du Rongcheng is not alone; he has the vast Du family behind him, and it is impossible for him to abandon the Du family to join his Great Xuan Dynasty.
This is different from Elder Du Man of the Yokoyama Sect.
When Du Man, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, joined Hengshan Sect, he had already severed ties with the Du family, but Du Rongcheng was an official in the Daqian Dynasty.
Su Mu is not yet in a position to make a promise to Du Rongcheng.
Perhaps, once he has completely defeated the Great Qian Dynasty, he can then repay Du Rongcheng for the favor of informing him.
"Since we can't do it openly, let's do it covertly."
Su Mu's thoughts returned to the Great Luo Heaven.
He was originally going to the Great Luo Heaven to inform the Eternal Heaven of the Great Qian Dynasty's truce.
It now seems that he no longer needs to inform the Eternal Heaven.
The Great Luo Heaven is now a net specifically designed to target him.
With the strength of the Eternal Heaven, it's likely that even the Luo Tian Grand Formation has already been altered.
After all, he knew that Su Mu could control the Luo Tian Grand Array.
"Since Su Mu's identity cannot enter the Great Luo Heaven, I will change my identity."
Su Mu thought coldly to himself, "Since you want to play, then I'll play along to the very end!"
Perfect, I need an opponent to push me a little.
Having gradually made up his mind, Su Mu's figure flickered and disappeared into thin air.
…………
The Great Luo Heaven.
Everything is the same as before.
The only difference is that the Daqian Dynasty army that was originally stationed outside the Great Luo Heaven has withdrawn.
Even the once prominent entrance to the Great Luo Heaven has now disappeared.
Even if someone who has been to the Great Luo Heaven appears here, it won't be easy for them to find the entrance to the Great Luo Heaven again.
In fact, if it weren't for a powerful figure from the Great Qian Dynasty accidentally discovering the Great Luo Heaven, the Great Luo Heaven would still be living its own life, unknown to the outside world.
Su Mu's figure appeared in mid-air.
He released his divine sense to confirm that there were no ambushes around, and then his gaze fell on the entrance to the Great Luo Heaven.
Even from a great distance, Su Mu could sense the fluctuations of the Luo Tian Grand Array.
He already knew the Luo Tian Formation inside and out, and now he could see that the Luo Tian Formation seemed to have remained unchanged.
However, after only a moment of silent deduction, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
If he had some doubts about the information Du Rongcheng brought before, he was now certain that Da Luo Tian had become a trap specifically designed to target him.
"As expected of the Eternal Heaven, these methods are truly insidious."
Su Mu sneered inwardly.
If his mastery of formations hadn't reached an extremely high level, he wouldn't have been able to discern the changes in the Luo Tian Grand Formation at all.
In fact, if he hadn't preconceived that the Luo Tian Grand Formation had changed, he might not have been able to discover the changes.
The Luo Tian Grand Formation is ever-changing, and Su Mu could not possibly re-analyze the changes of the formation without a reason.
Under normal circumstances, even if he noticed something unusual, he would just assume it was a normal change in the formation and wouldn't pay much attention to it.
After all, according to his previous thinking, Da Luo Tian had no reason to betray him and plot against him.
However, because of Du Rongcheng's reminder, Su Mu became more cautious in everything he did.
Upon careful analysis, the changes in the Luo Tian Grand Formation naturally came to his attention.
"If I rashly enter the Luo Tian Grand Formation now, it will be like a mosquito caught in a spider web; the more it struggles, the closer it will get entangled."
"Once I've exhausted my power with the Luo Tian Grand Formation, the Eternal Heaven and the Qian Emperor can easily finish me off."
Su Mu already understood the methods of the Eternal Heaven.
"Given Changshengtian's cultivation and shrewdness, what benefits did Emperor Qian promise him to do such a thing?"
Su Mu had some doubts.
You can't figure this out by thinking about it; the best way is to ask the Eternal Heaven.
Su Mu concealed his aura and lay in wait outside the entrance to the Great Luo Heaven.
With his current cultivation level, when he completely conceals his aura, no one can detect the slightest trace of it unless someone passes by in front of him.
Now it's a contest of who has more patience.
Su Mu believed that when the Qian Emperor and the Eternal Heaven could not wait for him, they would naturally resort to other means.
such as.
Send someone to invite him over.
This is Su Mu's opportunity.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
While waiting, Su Mu silently cultivated.
suddenly.
A flash of light appeared at the entrance to the Great Luo Heaven, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
The man seemed a little confused. He stood at the entrance for a while, stunned, before looking up ahead.
The direction he was looking in was none other than the direction where the Great Xuan Dynasty was located.
This person was also an old acquaintance of Su Mu.
Ye Tongxuan!
Ye Tongxuan was the first person from the Great Luo Heaven that Su Mu met, and he was also Su Mu's guide when he was in the Great Luo Heaven.
Su Mu was able to break the Luo Tian Grand Array thanks to Ye Tongxuan's guidance.
When Su Mu saw Ye Tongxuan, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
Just as he expected.
As expected, the Eternal Heaven sent Ye Tongxuan out.
Ye Tongxuan was the person Da Luotian was most familiar with.
If the Eternal Heaven were to send someone to invite Su Mu, Ye Tongxuan would undoubtedly be the most suitable.
Let Ye Tongxuan find an excuse to invite Su Mu over, and then lure Su Mu into a trap.
Having received advance notice, Su Mu now seemed to have the eyes of God.
All of the schemes of the Eternal Heaven and the Qian Emperor were exactly as he had expected.
Ye Tongxuan seemed to sigh, then flew towards the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Su Mu swayed slightly and immediately followed.
It wasn't until they were a hundred miles away from the entrance to the Great Luo Heaven that Su Mu suddenly made his move, subduing Ye Tongxuan in a single strike.
Su Mu casually tossed Ye Tongxuan into the small world within his body, and a burst of white light flashed around him.
When the white light disappeared, Su Mu had completely transformed into Ye Tongxuan's appearance.
Even if Ye Tongxuan's closest people were to stand right in front of him, they probably wouldn't be able to see the slightest flaw.
Back when Su Mu's cultivation level wasn't this high, he was already able to use the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to change his physical form.
Now that his cultivation level is higher, it is naturally easier for him to disguise himself.
From appearance to aura, he was no different from Ye Tongxuan.
After staying for a few days, and estimating the time it would take for Ye Tongxuan to travel to and from the Great Xuan Dynasty, Su Mu returned to the Great Luo Heaven.
He imitated Ye Tongxuan and sent a signal at the entrance of the Great Luo Heaven.
A moment later, Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, appeared.
He glanced at Su Mu but did not doubt his identity.
"Why did you come back alone? What happened to the task that the Eternal Heaven assigned you?"
"I am the Heavenly King of the North, Yang You," Yang You said in a deep voice.
“I went to the Great Xuan Dynasty and met Su Mu.”
Su Mu bowed and said, "But he refuses to come back with me."
He said he was currently practicing a new cultivation technique and was unable to travel for the time being, adding that if the Eternal Heaven needed anything, it could contact him.
"Damn it! Who does he think he is, to deserve the Eternal Heaven personally going to find him?"
"The Heavenly King of Zhenbei, Yang You, cursed angrily."
Su Mu's heart stirred slightly. Judging from the appearance of Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You, it seemed that he was unaware that Changsheng Tian was planning to ambush and kill him in Daluo Tian.
The anger of Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You was simply because he felt that the Eternal Heaven had been insulted.
Could it be that Changshengtian kept the ambush a secret from everyone else?
Thinking to himself, Su Mu remained expressionless and echoed, "That's what I said too, but as you know, Su Mu, I can't beat him either, and he even kicked me out. I had no choice but to come back and ask Changshengtian for instructions."
"Your Majesty, what if Su Mu insists on not coming?"
Su Mu asked tentatively.
"If they don't want to come, they don't want to come. What else can we do? Do we have to beg them three times and plead with them four times?"
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You sneered, "He thinks that just because he's allied with us, he can ride roughshod over us?"
"Keep dreaming!"
Su Mu was now certain that Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, was indeed unaware of the ambush plot against him.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You to put on an act in front of Ye Tongxuan.
So, was the ambush set up by Eternal Heaven alone?
However, it is also possible that Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You failed to enter the inner circle of Changshengtian.
Of course, this possibility is not high.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, was responsible for guarding a region. How could he have been in this position if he wasn't a confidant of the Eternal Heaven?
That means the cooperation between the Eternal Heaven and the Qian Emperor was kept secret from everyone in the Great Luo Heaven.
If that's the case—
Su Mu's heart stirred slightly. If the others in Da Luo Tian didn't know about this, perhaps he could use this to make Chang Sheng Tian suffer a great loss.
However, the situation is still unclear, so there's no need to rush.
"I should report this news to the Eternal Heaven first."
Su Mu said, "I think that since the Eternal Heaven sent me to invite Su Mu here, it must be because it has something important to discuss with Su Mu."
"What urgent matter could the Eternal Heaven possibly have to discuss with Su Mu?"
"I am the Heavenly King of the North," said Yang You disdainfully.
However, he did not stop Su Mu. Instead, he personally led Su Mu through the Luo Tian Grand Array and sent Su Mu to the teleportation array before returning to the North Palace he was guarding.
This was Su Mu's second visit to the residence of the Eternal Heaven, but his feelings were completely different.
Logically speaking, he should have been more nervous the last time he came.
But in reality, he was even more vigilant this time.
Because he wasn't sure if the Eternal Heaven could see through his disguise.
If the Eternal Heaven could see through this, then a deadly battle would be inevitable.
Fortunately, the arrangements made by Changshengtian on the Luotian Grand Array were no longer effective.
"Ye Tongxuan pays respects to the Eternal Heaven."
Su Mu bowed and said, "Reporting to the Eternal Heaven, I went to invite Su Mu, but he refused to come."
Did you tell him that I needed to see him because it was important?
The voice of the Eternal Heaven rang out, and then an old figure walked out of the thatched hut.
Chang Shengtian was leaning on a cane and looked even older than when we last met; he walked with a swaying gait.
Those who didn't know might even worry that he might accidentally take his last breath.
“I told him, but Su Mu said that if there’s anything really important, you can go to Changshengtian to find him.”
He is currently in seclusion for spiritual cultivation and cannot leave for the time being.
Su Mu said with his head down.
He controlled his emotions, not daring to show the slightest abnormality.
In front of the Eternal Heaven, any flaw could be exposed by the other party.
"Even fishing requires bait, let alone a Su Mu."
"Chang Sheng Tian said in a low voice."
If Su Mu hadn't been listening intently, he might have missed his words.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Changshengtian say in a normal voice, "Go through the trouble of making another trip and tell Su Mu that I have summoned him to discuss the secret of the Great Luo Heaven's eternal life with him."
"The secret to eternal life in the Great Luo Heaven?"
Su Mu appropriately showed a look of surprise.
"Eternal Heaven, does our Great Luo Heaven really have such a secret? Isn't that just a rumor spread by outsiders?"
Su Mu asked.
He knew that Ye Tongxuan also didn't know whether the Great Luo Heaven truly held the secret of eternal life.
Whether it's a rumor or not is unimportant.
Chang Shengtian said noncommittally, "As long as Su Mu believes it to be true, that's fine."
Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "Chang Sheng Tian, what if Su Mu actually believes that?"
When I went out before, I heard that the reason why the Supreme Being of the Great Qian Dynasty kept targeting our Great Luo Heaven was because of the secret of our Great Luo Heaven's immortality.
"If we say that ourselves, and the news reaches the ears of the Great Qian Emperor, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"These are things you don't need to worry about."
Chang Sheng Tian said calmly, "Do as I say."
After saying this, Changshengtian waved his hand, and a beam of light enveloped Su Mu.
Su Mu forcibly suppressed the urge to resist, letting the beam of light teleport him away.
In the blink of an eye, Su Mu reappeared in the North Hall guarded by Yang You, the Heavenly King of the North.
When Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You saw him, he merely raised his eyelids and didn't even leave his chair.
"What did the Eternal Heaven say?"
He asked casually.
"The Eternal Heaven sent me on another trip. He asked me to tell Su Mu that we invited him here to discuss the secret of immortality of our Great Luo Heaven."
Su Mu said, "Heavenly King, does our Great Luo Heaven really have such a thing?"
"The secret to immortality?"
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You curled his lip and said, "That thing is like a prostitute's virginity. Everyone says it exists, but no one has ever seen it."
Su Mu: "..."
This Zhenbei Heavenly King Yang You is truly wild; even his metaphors are so unique.
However, Su Mu was certain that even someone of the status of Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You did not know the secret of immortality of Da Luo Tian.
If the secret to immortality truly exists, then perhaps only the Eternal Heaven knows it.
After exchanging a few words with Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You, he asked Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You to escort him out of Da Luo Tian.
Throughout the entire process, Su Mu did not sense the presence of Emperor Qian.
Since the Eternal Heaven is colluding with the Qian Emperor to deal with him, then logically the Qian Emperor and the powerful figures of the Great Qian should be lying in ambush nearby.
However, Su Mu did not find any trace of them.
It seems these people were hiding their true intentions even more deeply than we imagined.
Su Mu left Da Luo Tian, making it appear as if he were heading to the Da Xuan Dynasty.
Hundreds of miles away from the Great Luo Heaven, he casually found a mountain and cultivated there for a while.
Having calculated that the time was almost up, he flew back towards the Great Luo Heaven.
This time, there was another figure beside him.
That was none other than the clone he had cultivated during this time!
He used a part of his body to create an avatar, a technique he had cultivated back in the Saha world.
This clone was created using his own body, and it originated from the same source as him, making it almost indistinguishable from his own.
In addition, he used the system panel to quickly raise the cultivation level of his clone to a level comparable to that of his main body.
The current situation is that "Ye Tongxuan" has taken Su Mu back to the Great Luo Heaven.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, didn't see any flaws and thought that Ye Tongxuan had really brought Su Mu back.
He secretly gave Ye Tongxuan a thumbs up, and was about to lead the two of them through the Luo Tian Formation.
Within the Great Luo Heaven, the Four Heavenly Kings possess special authority, allowing them to freely enter and exit the Luo Heaven Array.
In theory, anyone who wants to enter the Great Luo Heaven must obtain their consent.
Just as Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You led the two into the Luo Tian Formation, a beam of light suddenly fell.
In an instant, Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You and Ye Tongxuan were both thrown out of the Luo Tian Formation.
Su Mu, on the other hand, was swept away by the Luo Tian Grand Array and headed deeper into the array.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of the North, got up outside the North Hall, his face full of astonishment.
The Luo Tian Grand Formation has never had any problems before, so what happened this time?
"Oh no, Su Mu has fallen into the formation."
The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, cried out in alarm.
Su Mu pretended to get up from the ground and looked at the Luo Tian Grand Array.
"Heavenly King, how could such an accident happen? Could it be that the Eternal Heaven intervened?"
Su Mu asked.
"The Eternal Heaven?"
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, frowned.
"What does he want to do? Kill Su Mu?"
But he clearly rejected me before.
A hint of confusion flashed across the face of Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei.
"Heavenly King, what do you mean? Do you intend to kill Su Mu?"
Taking the opportunity, Su Mu asked, "But didn't Su Mu form an alliance with us?"
"I'm referring to what happened before the alliance was formed."
The Heavenly King of Zhenbei, Yang You, looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I don't know what's going on now."
However, I cannot control this Luo Tian Grand Formation.
You should go and report back to the Eternal Heaven, and ask him what exactly happened.
"Su Mu has already helped us persuade the Great Qian Dynasty. Wouldn't it be a bit dishonest to kill him now?"
With that, Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, urged Su Mu to step onto the teleportation array. (End of Chapter)
