Looking at the properties of the two large piles of dragon scales and dragon bones, Li Mu's eyes were blurred, as if he was an old gourmet facing a table of delicacies, both amazed and salivating. These Sky Flame Dragon Scales and Sky Flame Dragon Bones that had been tempered by heavenly fire and had their demonic nature removed were the best spiritual materials for refining defensive Taoist weapons and bone Taoist weapons.

With so many dragon scales and dragon bones, if you save some, it will be no problem to refine more than a dozen sets of Taoist weapons.

Tsk tsk tsk!
When will defensive Taoist armor and Taoist soldiers be able to be completed and mass-produced?
Li Mu's eyes were gleaming with excitement, his spiritual consciousness was running at full power, thinking about how to use these precious materials, equip them with what kind of array, condense the patterns, and refine the most suitable set of Taoist instruments.

"Chirp!"

The three-colored skyfire refining furnace disintegrated, and the extremely yang skyfire transformed into a small purple-gold fire phoenix, which landed on Li Mu's shoulder and called out twice with a somewhat weak breath.

The blue-green python and the scarlet fire dragon appeared as well. Their auras were equally weak and uncertain. It was obvious that removing the dragon scales and dragon bones of these evil dragons had consumed a lot of their original strength.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly took out four jade boxes from the Tianxuan Ring, took out three Fire Yuan Dao Dan and one Wood Yuan Dao Dan, and looked at Qinglong-Qinglin, the three groups of heavenly fire spirits.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take some pills to recover!" Li Mu threw four elixirs to them and gestured with a smile.

Qing Lin did not hesitate and opened his mouth to swallow the Mu Yuan Dao Dan. Suddenly, a vibrant breath emanated from his body, the green dragon scales became brighter, and the breath gradually stabilized.

The little fire phoenix transformed from the extremely yang sky fire, the blue-green python, and the scarlet fire dragon also each took the Fire Element Dao Pill. The power of the fire element gushed out, and the fire power flashed with an even brighter light, as if all the previous consumption had been swept away.

Seeing that they were concentrating on refining the medicinal power of the Dao Pill, Li Mu waved his hand and collected the many dragon scales and dragon bones, waiting to be used for refining equipment later.

Then, Li Mu controlled the hacking knife to continue digging out the remaining valuable parts of the dragon's body, and put them away properly for future processing. He then controlled the Painting World Treasure House to bury the remaining flesh and blood, leaving it for the treasure house space to digest and absorb... For a while, Li Mu and Mingyue were very busy.

Just as Li Mu was busy dealing with the remains of the demon dragon and preparing to arrange everything, the sect token tied around his waist suddenly made a buzzing sound. A faint light flickered on the token, as if a message was coming.

Li Mu stopped what he was doing, his mind flashed, and he immediately understood the reason.

"Mingyue, you suppress the remaining evil nature of the dragon corpses. When they wake up, we will destroy them together. I'm going out for a while and will be back soon." Li Mu signaled to Mingyue who was controlling the forbidden magic circle beside him.

"Okay, master!" Mingyue's face tightened and she happily went to meet him.

Li Mu nodded, his figure flashed, and then he disappeared in the treasure house space.

Not long after, Li Mu's figure appeared at the Wenjian Peak of Xuantian Sword Sect. He hurriedly arrived on his sword. With his spiritual sense, he could see everything going on in the hall at a glance.

Inside the hall, several high-level leaders of Xuantian Sword Sect, Deputy Sect Master Xu Wen of Taiyi Sect, Sect Master Sun Yuankun of Lingxiao Sect, and clan leaders of the Eight Great Families of Zhongzhou were all invited. There were nearly twenty people sitting together with serious expressions, seemingly discussing something important. They were obviously planning how to defend the seven extreme seals in order to cope with the invasion of the Demon Abyss.

With the arrival of Li Mu, everyone looked outside the hall.

"Master Li!"

"Elder Li! You're here!"

……

Several high-ranking officials of Xuantian Sword Sect, leaders of other sects, elders, and heads of the eight major families all stood up and paid respects to Li Mu and greeted him.

Although Li Mu's cultivation is weak, and on the surface he is only in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, his identity is quite noble. He is a weapon-refining saint master who can refine Taoist weapons, a formation saint master who is good at setting up magic arrays, and he has practiced all five elements. His strength is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. In the Xuantian Sword Sect, he is even the supreme elder, and his status is second only to several Taoist Lords and Sword Masters of the Xuantian Sword Sect.

"Greetings to Lord Qi Dao, Lord Lin Jian, Lord Yun Jian, and all the clan leaders and patriarchs!" Li Mu walked into the hall with a smile, looked at everyone and nodded, responding enthusiastically one by one.

"Elder Li, please tell the clan leaders and patriarchs in detail about the cause and effect of your work with Senior Brothers Feng and Chen in eliminating demons." Qi Xuanming looked at Li Mu kindly and instructed.

Hearing this, Li Mu's expression became solemn. He nodded, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and began to narrate the causes and consequences of their fierce battle with the three Dao Lords of the Demonic Abyss.

"What happened is, Feng Daojun received a warning from the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion that there were changes in the sealed places, so he quickly checked several sealed places with him, and it happened that..." Li Mu's voice echoed in the hall.

It describes in detail the entire process from the discovery of the invasion of the sealed land by the forces of the Demon Abyss, the pursuit of the ghost army, the assistance of Chen Daojun and Feng Daojun, to the final killing of the two Demon Abyss Daojuns, and the three Daojuns going to Jiuyou to investigate the lair of the invading forces of the Demon Abyss.

Li Mu's narration was clear and logical. He described the dramatic changes on the battlefield, the dangers of the battle, and so on in detail, making everyone present fascinated, as if they had experienced that thrilling battle personally.

"Now, the three Dao Lords have gone to the depths of the Nine Netherworld to trace the root cause of the Demon Abyss' invasion of our world and completely cut off their channels for forcible invasion. In addition, I was asked to return to the sect to handle subsequent matters and ensure the safety of the sealed place." Li Mu said here with a hint of respect and worry in his tone, and looked at everyone solemnly.

“Once any one of the seven sealed places is broken, the entire sealing formation will collapse. The passage between the Demon Abyss and this world will be completely opened. Then, the Demon Abyss army will pour in like a tide, and this world will fall into an unprecedented crisis.” Li Mu’s voice was low and powerful, and every word hit everyone’s heart like a hammer.

Following Li Mu's introduction, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn.

"Elder Li, do you know how they invaded our world?" Deputy Master Xu of Taiyi Sect looked at Li Mu and asked with concern. "Yes, the seal formation completely cut off the passage between the two worlds, so how did they appear?" Nangong clan leader Nangong Lie followed.

"Yes! There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If we don't find this loophole, how can we prevent this situation from happening?" Zhou family head Zhou Hengping frowned and asked in agreement.

"Is there something wrong with the seal formation again? Is there a gap in the passage again?"

……

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mu, looking forward to his solution.

Last time, a gap appeared in the seal formation in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, which led to the infiltration of the Demon Abyss army. As a result, the entire Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm was completely destroyed, with countless casualties. The major sects and cultivation families in Central Continent sacrificed hundreds of thousands of outstanding disciples and expended enormous resources before they worked together to clear them out and successfully sealed the gap.

That incident left an indelible shadow in everyone's heart.

Facing everyone's anxious inquiries, Li Mu shook his head slightly and introduced: "The situation this time is different from the gap in the passage of the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm last time."

"The sealing formation between the two worlds is currently unobstructed. They were able to force their way through to our world because of a combined demon cultivator, Emperor Tianxing, who coveted the merits of the Demon Abyss and wanted to break out of Tianyun's predicament. He secretly colluded with the Demon Abyss forces and used a secret method to break the boundary, opening a temporary passage from the Demon Abyss to our world." Li Mu responded in a deep voice.

"What? This happened!"

"How dare you! This boy is unworthy of being a human being!"

There was a sudden cry of surprise in the hall.

"The devil cultivator - Di Tianxing, who is this person? What sect or faction does he belong to? How dare he betray our world and collude with external forces!" Xu Wen, deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, had his eyes wide open, his voice filled with anger and shock.

"This kind of behavior is simply unforgivable!" Lingxiao Sect's leader Sun Yuankun was also furious. He couldn't imagine that someone would dare to do such a thing.

"Everyone, there is no need to be angry. The demons have always been unscrupulous in their actions, without regard for any morality or rules. Before it was the Nine Demon Sect, and this time it was Emperor Tianxing. Such things are difficult to prevent. However, it is simply a pipe dream for a mere demon in the fusion stage to collude with the forces of the Demon Abyss to improve his cultivation and break out of Tianyun's predicament!" Qi Xuanming quickly interrupted, his voice steady and powerful, to comfort everyone.

"What Daojun said is absolutely right. Such demons should be killed by anyone!" Xu Wen, deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, stood up and said indignantly.

"That's right, we can't let this devil continue to go unpunished, we must find him as soon as possible and bring him to justice!" Lingxiao Sect's leader Sun Yuankun also stood up, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. We have already captured this guy. He is a thousand-year-old thief from the Tianlong Sect..." Li Mu smiled slightly and narrated the origin of Di Tianxing.

"Tianlong Sect? It seems that this sect no longer exists in the world!"

"The Tianlong Sect seemed to have been destroyed five thousand years ago. I didn't expect that there are still such scums of the human race left!"

……

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time began to despise Di Tianxing's actions.

"Everyone, for now, we still have to focus on how to strengthen the defense of the sealed places." Qi Xuanming's eyes swept across everyone's faces, interrupting their discussion and said, "Emperor Tianxing has been captured, but the Demon Abyss forces are still a huge threat. The three Dao Lords of our sect have been hunting down the remaining forces of the Demon Abyss, but there has been no result yet. We must ensure that we unite to guard the safety of the seven sealed places and prevent the Demon Abyss forces from invading again."

"What Qi Daojun said is absolutely right." Sun Yuankun nodded happily and agreed, "We must send more people and set up a more powerful magic array to ensure the stability of the sealed area."

Xu Wen, the deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, stood up and expressed his support, "That's right, our sect is willing to send out elite disciples to help guard the sealed area."

“That’s right, the eight major families will not sit idly by.

"..."

Other clan leaders and family patriarchs nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to send disciples to cooperate in guarding the sealed area.

"Well, Elder Li of our sect will set up a warning array at the seven sealed locations - the Lingtong Tiangang Array. "This array is an ancient wonder array with infinite power, but the materials needed to set up the array are extremely rare and complicated. It requires the combined efforts of all of us to gather them together." Qi Xuanming's eyes were solemn, and his tone was full of an unquestionable attitude. "Therefore, I propose that all sects and families work together to collect the 749 kinds of rare spiritual materials needed to set up the array."

"Among them, the 'Star Crystal' needs to be taken from the place where the stars fell. Taiyi Sect is good at astronomy and astrology, so they can be responsible for the exploration and collection of this thing; the 'Moonlight Dew' needs to be collected on a full moon night, in the place where the moonlight is the most concentrated. Lingxiao Sect is proficient in the way of nature, so this task will be given to Lingxiao Sect."

"As for the 'Void Stone' and the 'Ethereal Jade', these two spiritual materials are hidden in the void and are difficult to find. Only strong people who are good at the laws of space can explore them. My Xuantian Sword Sect happens to have several elders who have dabbled in the laws of space and are willing to take on this important task,..."

"Other spiritual materials also have their own characteristics and origins, and each sect and family needs to share the burden according to their own strengths. I hope that you can work together to contribute to the protection of the Central Continent."

……

Hearing Qi Xuanming suddenly arrange for them to collect resources, the sect masters and several clan leaders present looked at each other with different expressions. Some sect masters looked embarrassed, obviously feeling pressured to collect so many rare spiritual materials in a short period of time; while some clan leaders had flickering eyes, as if they were thinking about how to seize this opportunity to enhance their family's influence in Zhongzhou.

"May I ask Elder Li, what kind of formation is this Lingtong Tiangang Formation?"

An old man with a gaunt face and wise eyes slowly stood up. It was Yun Feiyang, the leader of the Ziyin Ling Sect. He was quite knowledgeable about formations. The questions he asked Li Mu were also the answers to the doubts in the minds of many people present.

"Master Yun, that's a good question." Li Mu smiled and nodded, then gave a detailed answer: "The Spiritual Pupil Tiangang Formation was created by a powerful person in ancient times, combining the power of the Spiritual Pupils of Heaven and Earth with the arrangement of the Tiangang stars. This formation can see through the void and give early warnings thousands of miles away. This formation is divided into two layers, the outer layer is the Tiangang Star Formation, and the inner layer is the Spiritual Pupil Insight Formation. The Tiangang Star Formation is based on the Tiangang stars and borrows the power of the stars... The inner formation refines the spiritual mist into pupils... Once this formation is set up, it can not only monitor the movements of the sealed place in real time, but also..."

"So that's how it is. This formation is truly extraordinary. Master Li's formation is unparalleled! I've learned a lot from it." After listening to this, Yun Feiyang nodded repeatedly, with a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and exclaimed sincerely.

"Lord Qi Daojun, we are willing to contribute to the protection of the Central Continent, but the 749 kinds of rare spiritual materials are really extraordinary, and many of them are hard to come by. I'm afraid..." A sect leader dressed in green and with an old face spoke hesitantly, revealing a bit of worry in his words.

"Alas, I also know that this matter is difficult, but the forces of the Demon Abyss are ready to make a move. If we fail to prepare for it, it will be too late to regret when the crisis really comes." Qi Xuanming sighed, his eyes swept over everyone, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

"What Qi Daojun said makes sense. As a member of the Central Continent, we have no choice but to do our part." Kun Yuanba, a burly and dignified head of the Kun family, stood up and said loudly, "My Kun family is willing to accept your order and be responsible for exploring and collecting the two spiritual materials, 'Earth Core Lava' and 'Ice Jade Marrow'. Although they are grown in extreme places, my Kun family has its own means and will definitely live up to your trust."

"Good! Patriarch Kun is indeed responsible." Qi Xuanming nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze to the other sect leaders and family patriarchs, "Everyone, the Kun family has taken the lead in expressing its stance, what do you think?"

Encouraged by Qi Xuanming, everyone expressed their willingness to take on their own tasks and work together to collect spiritual materials for the formation. (End of this chapter)
