123: God Realm, I, Lin Mu, am here

After Lin Mu disappeared, everyone exchanged glances.

Finally, one person sighed, stood up, and left.

By the time Tao Yue'er emerged from the shop, only one person remained in front of the door.

Tao Yue'er looked at the person and curiously asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

That person gave an awkward smile, "Replying to Young Lady, I am the owner of this establishment."

"Today is rent collection day, and I'm here to collect it."

The person speaking was precisely the Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) who had rented the house to Lin Mu.

The Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) had clearly recognized Tao Yue'er.

His attitude was quite respectful.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yue'er pondered for a moment before saying, "From today onwards, this shop's surname is Tao."

The Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) was suddenly stunned, and before he could fully recover.

Tao Yue'er flicked her hand in the air.

A lotus embroidered pouch was thrown to the Middle-aged man (Fang Yan).

The Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) eagerly caught the pouch.

He didn't dare to open it, only looking at Tao Yue'er with a puzzled expression.

Tao Yue'er said, "The money in the pouch is enough for you to buy a manor in Hancheng City."

A look of ecstasy appeared on the Middle-aged man (Fang Yan)'s face.

He cautiously glanced at Tao Yue'er, then quickly opened the pouch for a peek.

Afterward, he chuckled sheepishly and left with the pouch.

After Lin Mu left, he was not in a hurry to return to Heavenly Dao Sect.

His figure suddenly appeared in the demon territory.

Looking at the endless golden grassland, Lin Mu murmured.

"This feeling is truly wonderful; what the heart desires, arrives in an instant."

Just now, after Lin Mu left Hancheng City.

He wanted to test how wonderful it truly was after merging with this world.

He merely thought of the demon race, and then the demon golden grassland appeared in his mind.

Then, his body instantly arrived here.

This was many times stronger than the teleportation technique he had learned before.

Immediately after, Lin Mu continuously disappeared and reappeared in his mind.

It only took him a quarter of an hour.

Lin Mu had traveled to every corner of the Nine Nether Continent.

At this moment, Lin Mu stood on Luocheng Mountain, in the peach blossom forest.

His gaze swept forward.

He saw that where there had originally been only two gravestones, there was now an additional one.

Lin Mu looked at that gravestone and saw written upon it.

"Tomb of Loving Mother Hua Jinrong."

Lin Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think.

"Hua Jinrong? Could it be Xiao Hua's real name?"

Just then, a hoarse voice sounded from behind him.

"Is it Young Master Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu turned to look at the approaching person.

He saw that this person had white hair and a body as thin as a stick.

His face was covered in wrinkles, and when he smiled, it was as if ravines appeared in the mountains.

Lin Mu had now truly become the Heavenly Dao.

With a single thought, he could discern the information of all living beings on the Nine Nether Continent.

Therefore, he recognized this person's identity at a glance.

"After a mere twenty years, how have you become like this?"

That person chuckled and said, "It is indeed Young Master Lin. This junior Xu Nianzu greets Young Master Lin."

Xu Nianzu, dragging his withered body, tremblingly bowed to Lin Mu.

He then said, "Since our parting twenty years ago, this junior's heart has been ashen."

"I could only bring my mother's remains back to this place."

"To live out the rest of my days."

"This junior was already a living dead man; if not for enduring this last breath, I would have long returned to the earth."

Lin Mu said, "You were waiting for me?"

Xu Nianzu nodded slightly.

Lin Mu then asked, "What did you wait for me for?"

Xu Nianzu's cloudy eyes suddenly held a glimmer of light.

He seemed to use all his strength to say, "Only to convey my mother's last dying words."

"She asked me to tell Young Master Lin that she was grateful for his care in this life, and if there's a chance in the next, she will surely repay him."

Lin Mu murmured, "Next life? Is there really a next life? If there is, where is she? If there isn't, why am I here?"

Lin Mu suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly shot out brilliant light, and then he said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the Divine Realm will have the answers I seek."

Lin Mu's action truly startled Xu Nianzu.

After calming his startled mind, he spoke, "Young Master Lin, this junior has one last request."

Lin Mu said, "What is it?"

Xu Nianzu said, "This junior is already in his twilight years, without even the strength to dig a grave for himself. And..."

Before he could finish, Lin Mu interrupted him.

"This Young Master does not have the habit of digging graves for people; you should resolve it yourself."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he did not wait for Xu Nianzu to say anything.

He merely pointed an empty finger at Xu Nianzu.

Xu Nianzu's withered body actually regained some vitality.

Lin Mu's words came out again: "Say a good farewell to this world; I'm leaving."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, his body vanished into thin air.

Xu Nianzu bowed to Lin Mu's original position.

Then he slowly walked to Xiao Hua's gravestone and, not far from it, began to dig with a shovel he had prepared long ago.

Three days later, at the peak of Heavenly Dao Sect's back mountain.

Lin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, Lao Mo and Long Yuan standing one on his left and one on his right.

Yun Feiyang stood opposite Lin Mu, his face full of unwillingness.

He was heard saying, "Sect Master, please take me with you."

Lin Mu said expressionlessly, "This journey to the Divine Realm is fraught with unknown dangers; with your strength, it might be difficult to protect yourself."

Although Yun Feiyang was unrivaled in the Nine Nether Continent, apart from the few people present.

But that was only limited to this realm.

Moreover, the Nine Nether Continent was Lin Mu's grand rear base.

He needed Yun Feiyang to guard his home.

The stronger the cultivators of the Nine Nether Continent, the more assistance they could provide to Lin Mu.

When Lin Mu refined the Nine Nether Continent, he had already discovered.

The strength of this world was closely related to the strength of the martial artists here.

In the future in the Divine Realm, it would be indispensable to unleash this world against enemies.

Yun Feiyang lowered his head in shame and said, "This subordinate has held back the Sect Master."

Seeing his appearance, Lin Mu couldn't help but comfort him, "You don't need to be disheartened; your cultivation time is still short."

"Cultivate diligently in the future, and next time I return, I will take you to the Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, Yun Feiyang's lips twitched involuntarily.

What did "cultivation time is still short" mean?

It seemed that Lin Mu had only cultivated for less than a hundred years.

He himself had cultivated for over a thousand years.

Although he inwardly grumbled a few sentences, Yun Feiyang's expression conveyed a different message.

"Thank you, Sect Master; this subordinate will do his best."

Lin Mu nodded slightly, then looked up at the sky.

He seemed to be talking to himself, saying, "Let me tear open this Divine Realm passage..."

As Lin Mu spoke, his actions were not slow.

He casually conjured the primordial god sword and slashed it towards the void above his head.

The sword light instantly tore through the sky.

An invisible crack appeared before everyone's eyes.

There were no so-called various heavenly phenomena of ascension, only pure divine power continuously gushing out from the crack.

Lin Mu's eyes flashed, and he softly said, "Divine Realm, I, Lin Mu, have arrived."

As Lin Mu's words fell, his body suddenly flashed and appeared before the crack.

Lao Mo and Long Yuan followed closely behind.

Lin Mu looked back, taking a deep glance at this world, then resolutely entered the crack.

As the three figures disappeared, the crack slowly closed.

No one in the Nine Nether Continent knew.

On this very day, three people ascended to the Divine Realm.

From then on, a new chapter of the Divine Realm began.
