209: Li Mu's guess

Li Mu quickly arrived in front of this stone tablet, looking up at the towering stone tablet that reached into the clouds.

However, the appearance of the stone tablet at this moment looked dilapidated, and its surface was covered with a layer of dark red fresh blood.

There were only two massive characters on the stone tablet, occupying an entire side of it!

"Cangtian..."

Li Mu did not recognize these two characters, but upon seeing them, he instantly understood what they were.

After recognizing these two characters, Li Mu's eyes widened.

The term 'Cangtian' is not something that can be used casually, especially not in a Small World on the newly appearing Mythical Continent!

Recognizing these two characters, Li Mu's heart was no longer calm; his mind raced, pondering all the mythical records he knew about "Cangtian."

Some instances of "Cangtian" directly represent the heavens, while others might refer to the Heavenly Dao.

Regardless of the interpretation, they basically represent the supreme and unparalleled.

However, in those mythical records, there was no description of "Cangtian" that had any connection to the Small World before him...

A Small World named "Cangtian"...

Li Mu looked at the stone tablet before him, pondering for a long time, trying to find all the information he knew in his mind.

A moment later, Li Mu suddenly thought of something, and his expression paused slightly.

He suddenly remembered that the "Huainanzi" contained records about the Nine Heavens.

"The center is called Jun Tian, the east is called Cangtian, the northeast is Min Tian, the north is Xuan Tian, the northwest is You Tian, the west is Huan Tian, the southwest is Zhu Tian, the south is Yan Tian, and the southeast is Yang Tian."

This is the original text from "Huainanzi."

The "Lüshi Chunqiu" also contains similar records!

The Nine Heavens recorded here are more like nine different places.

This is also the most consistent point with the current Small World, plus this place is indeed in the east of Xia Country...

However, if this is the Eastern Cangtian among the Nine Heavens, then doesn't that mean there are eight other such Small Worlds that have not yet appeared?

As soon as he thought of this question, Li Mu's brows furrowed even more deeply.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that he had originally only wanted to transform an ordinary city into a Cultivation world.

But now that he had seen so many secrets on Earth, he felt that he might just be a catalyst guiding the Spiritual Qi's recovery on Earth...

With the evidence he had seen, it was basically confirmed that myths absolutely existed on Earth in the past!

But looking at the scene within this Small World named "Cangtian"...

It's probable that a very terrifying change or upheaval occurred in the world in the past.

Li Mu boldly speculated whether this great upheaval led to the demise of all extraordinary beings and even caused the Spiritual Veins of Earth to break.

Is that why Earth descended from a former Cultivation world to become the ordinary, commonplace world it is now?

Li Mu suddenly thought of when he first obtained the System.

Those initial options that appeared at the very beginning.

At that time, he barely hesitated and directly chose the Immortal Dao.

Only then did all these current situations arise.

But what if he had chosen 'ordinary' back then?

Would these things still appear then...?

Perhaps they would, but without his push towards the Immortal Dao, it might have taken a very, very long time...

...

Li Mu walked on the ground of this Small World of "Cangtian," his feet treading on the dark red ground stained with blood.

He noticed that in some uneven places on the ground, there was even blood still present, not completely dried up.

However, the quantity was pitifully small!

A very strong Qi emanated from this blood, along with an aura Li Mu completely did not recognize.

Upon sensing it, he found that this aura was very sacred and ethereal!

It was somewhat similar to the green light clusters found in Kunlun Mountain.

However, upon seeing this blood, Li Mu basically knew why the two Yao Beasts outside were stronger than other Yao Beasts of the same level.

The Spiritual Qi contained in this blood was simply too abundant!

The two Yao Beasts would likely experience a significant increase in strength, and even an improvement in their Bloodline and Cultivation talent, just by absorbing a tiny bit.

Subsequently, Li Mu collected all the remaining blood in this Small World and stored it in the System space.

He planned to take it back and thoroughly research it.

After doing all this, there was no longer any need to stay here.

This Small World was filled with violent Qi everywhere, and staying too long could easily lead to being affected...

Li Mu then directly left the Small World.

As soon as he came outside, Li Mu let out a long breath of turbid Qi and took a deep breath of the outside air.

Compared to the Small World, the air outside was much fresher...

However, just then...

Li Mu suddenly heard a series of beast roars, along with exclamations.

Hearing the commotion, Li Mu immediately extended his Divine Sense.

The next second, Li Mu used his Divine Sense to see what was happening where he had heard the commotion, and then he was utterly speechless.

In Li Mu's Divine Sense, Hu Bingbing was carrying a fishing bag, with a fishing rod on her shoulder, accompanied by Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua.

The three of them were currently being chased by two Yao Beasts in the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, desperately fleeing forward, using every ounce of their strength.

"Wang Cao, aren't you Celestial Honored One Wang? You keep calling yourself 'this venerable one.' Why don't you go and kill them!"

Hu Bingbing shouted to Wang Cao beside her as she ran.

Wang Cao's expression didn't change; he snorted coldly while running wildly, "Hmph, merely two Yao Beasts in the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage!"

"If this venerable one were to grow stronger, merely Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage..."

Hu Bingbing: "So you can't deal with them either?"

Wang Cao: "..."

Wang Cao: "You #@%&*@!￥%#..."

Weng Qinghua, who had been silently running alongside them, looked at the two in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.

In his eyes, Wang Cao was the epitome of profound mystery, yet now he was being repeatedly flustered by this woman.

This woman must be avoided!

Seeing this scene through his Divine Sense, Li Mu was immediately amused.

The last time Hu Bingbing gained her abilities at Tianshui River, she had repeatedly flustered Wang Cao.

Goodness, he didn't expect it to happen again this time!

Even while fleeing for their lives, they didn't forget to exchange banter...

In Li Mu's opinion, if the three of them joined forces, they would actually be able to deal with the two Yao Beasts in the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage.

After all, among the three, Weng Qinghua's ability was very special, and there was Hu Bingbing's wind and Wang Cao's swordsmanship.

If they cooperated well, killing these two Yao Beasts would be no problem at all...
