228: Phoenix Bloodline

Next, Li Mu went to Kunlun again, visiting the places in Kunlun that were steeped in myths and legends.

He saw that the green light there was still continuously gathering, and the amount of green light gathered there was even more than when he first saw it!

To this day, he still couldn't figure out what this green light was.

With his current cultivation Realm, he still couldn't sense the secret within this green light.

However, so far, these green lights haven't shown any abnormalities, nor have they caused any commotion; they have just been silently gathering.

Li Mu once specifically sought out Wu Ya, wanting him to help determine what these green lights were.

But the information he received from Wu Ya was that he sensed the power of faith within these green lights, and Wu Ya couldn't perceive anything more.

It was precisely this information that made Li Mu begin to wonder if deities had truly existed in this world in the past.

After all, the places where these powers of faith converged were all locations associated with Immortals in myths and legends.

However, if those Immortals truly existed in the past, then where were they now?

After all, he had caused so many things to happen, even borrowing the identities of many deities to pass down Legacies.

If those Immortals truly existed, it would be impossible for there to be no reaction at all, right?

Gradually, a thought surfaced in Li Mu's mind: Could it really be as written in novels, that the world entered an age of declining Dao, causing all Immortals to experience the five declines of heaven and man?

This was the explanation Li Mu currently believed the most.

After all, before he caused the spiritual energy tide, the Spiritual Qi on this planet was incredibly scarce!

Since he couldn't figure these things out for now, Li Mu could only let it go and investigate again once his cultivation Realm improved in the future.

Then, Li Mu opened the System page to check his current balance of Deception Points.

It showed: Twenty-three thousand five hundred Deception Points.

These were the Deception Points earned recently as the people with diary duplicates slowly spread out.

Li Mu thought that the System seemed to have stopped adding new diary duplicate owners...

Without new diary duplicate owners, he wouldn't be able to earn various rewards from them.

If he wanted to increase his strength, he could only use Deception Points to purchase things.

Li Mu shook his head slightly, not particularly bothered by this.

After all, the rate at which he obtained Deception Points was much faster now, so using some to improve his cultivation was perfectly acceptable.

The next moment, Li Mu's figure vanished from his original spot and quickly reappeared in his home in Heng City.

When Li Mu appeared in his home, he habitually released his Divine Sense, wanting to see if anyone had entered his house, and he immediately froze.

Because he discovered a familiar figure right at the main entrance of his residential area: Xing Mulan!

"This girl still hasn't left..."

Li Mu had originally thought that after so much time had passed, Xing Mulan should have returned to the capital.

But he never expected that she was still here?

The world had already changed so much, and she dared to stay here alone without any friends; this girl was truly brave!

However, after a moment's thought, he quickly understood.

After all, a woman who could verbally spar with Linglong across language and species was not someone whose thought process ordinary people could easily grasp.

However, after discovering Xing Mulan, Li Mu pondered for a moment and ultimately decided not to ignore her.

In his original plan, Xing Mulan was not supposed to gain her ability until next year.

But now, due to various changes, Li Mu's plan had undergone many adjustments, and giving Xing Mulan her ability ahead of time was not out of the question.

The Phoenix Bloodline Legacy, which was the ability previously mentioned for Xing Mulan, was entirely affordable with his current twenty thousand-plus Deception Points...

Li Mu then opened the System shop and searched for "Phoenix Bloodline." The next second, two Phoenix Bloodline items appeared.

One was a normal Phoenix Bloodline, priced at only three thousand five hundred Deception Points.

This item's price was far, far more expensive compared to Qin Zhe and the others'.

Moreover, the description of this item stated that its Realm limit was only Golden Immortal, but its strength far exceeded others at the same Realm, essentially allowing for cross-Realm combat.

And after Immortal Ascension, it would possess the Phoenix characteristic: Rebirth through fire!

As for the other item, the superior Phoenix Bloodline, it cost eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight Deception Points.

Although this price was very high and far exceeded the prices of other people's abilities, Li Mu could afford it!

If Li Mu were to purchase it, this would be the ability with the greatest potential among all the abilities Li Mu had released so far.

The second closest was Linglong's Bloodline evolution.

Although Linglong gained this ability by consuming a Talent Spiritual Fruit, a Talent Spiritual Fruit only cost fifty Deception Points per piece.

However, the strength of the Talent Spiritual Fruit depended entirely on luck; good luck meant it was Heaven-Defying, bad luck meant it was trash.

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, then chose to purchase it.

After the purchase, the System even popped up a notification page, and Li Mu was stunned when he saw the words on the notification box.

The content basically told Li Mu that purchasing the Phoenix Bloodline came with a complimentary Phoenix Bloodline Legacy package.

In short, Li Mu didn't need to buy other things to complement this Phoenix Bloodline; it was directly included here.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and gladly accepted it.

After all, why refuse something you can get for free!

However, Li Mu didn't rush to release it. After doing all this, Li Mu closed the System page.

His gaze once again fell on Xing Mulan outside the residential area. After pondering for a moment, Li Mu still decided to go and meet her.

Consider it a slight guidance...

...

At this moment, in the noodle shop outside the residential area, Xing Mulan was eating her noodles listlessly.

Ever since she knew Li Mu's home was here, she had been coming to stake out almost every day whenever she had time, but she had never run into him.

She even suspected that Li Mu didn't want to see her?

But the diary mentioned that their relationship was very good, didn't it...

Thinking of this, Xing Mulan pouted, feeling a bit disheartened.

However, just then, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "Hello..."

Hearing this voice, Xing Mulan subconsciously turned her head and saw the figure she had been longing for, not far from her...
