Film and Television World Life Record

However, Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan's identities will not intersect much in the future.

He married Ren Yingying using the identity of Li Mu, and Yue Lingshan using the identity of Lin Pingzhi. In terms of status, both of them were his legal wives.

When Lin told his parents that he was going to marry Yue Buqun's beloved daughter, Yue Lingshan, they were overjoyed. They immediately sent someone to Mount Hua to arrange the marriage in advance.

At Li Mu's suggestion and with Yue Buqun's tacit approval, the wedding was not large in scale, and only some close relatives and fellow disciples from Mount Hua were invited.

After bowing to heaven and earth and seeing off the guests, as dusk fell, Li Mu looked at Yue Lingshan, who sat nervously on the wedding bed, her bright and charming face filled with affection.

He couldn't resist picking her up and placing her on the bed: "Junior Sister..."

"Senior brother..."

……

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Li Mu was thirty years old and had another son, who was doted on by Yue Buqun and his wife, as well as Lin's parents.

However, Yue Lingshan's belly is already quite big again, and she says she wants a daughter.

Ren Yingying seemed to be envious and wanted to have another child; she also became pregnant a few days ago.

With more free time, Li Mu began to consider breaking through his internal energy cultivation. He had mastered the sixth level of the Purple Cloud Skill last year, but had not yet found an opportunity to break through.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. For hundreds of years, the highest level of Zixia Gong cultivation at Mount Hua has only been the sixth level. There has never been a case of anyone reaching the seventh level, which shows how difficult the final level is.

It took Li Mu three or four years to break through from the fifth to the sixth level of the Zixia Skill, and he has been at the sixth level for seven or eight years now, which shows how difficult it is to break through to this level.

That morning, Li Mu finished his breathing exercises on the mountaintop. Suddenly, a thought struck him. He remembered an ancient book that said when internal energy cultivation reached the state of transcendence, divine will and method complemented each other and were indispensable.

Taoist martial arts have always placed the greatest emphasis on divine will, prioritizing divine will over the method.

The Purple Cloud Skill is the orthodox internal energy cultivation method of the Xuanmen. Could it be that when I broke through before, I was too focused on the method and neglected the divine will, and the energy of refinement was too heavy, causing me to fall into the lower level?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered what Feng Qingyang had once said: "The way of swordsmanship should be like flowing clouds and running water, going wherever one pleases." This refers to divine will.

In the martial arts world, all schools and sects emphasize that the intention precedes the sword; the sword is drawn wherever the intention points.

Although I practice internal energy cultivation, martial arts are a field where understanding one principle leads to understanding all others. Perhaps I was being too deliberate in my practice? I didn't encounter this situation when breaking through the first six levels of the Purple Cloud Skill because I hadn't reached the highest level. Breakthroughs require timing, and the influence of divine will was not very obvious.

Since this final level of cultivation emphasizes the naturalness of the mind, breakthroughs should also be natural and spontaneous, without the slightest obsession. As long as one harbors the thought of breaking through, the practice becomes deliberate, and an obsession arises in the mind.

The most urgent task is to stop clinging to this. It would be best to forget it, but how can one forget it?

Li Mu frowned. This daze had become a vicious cycle. If he was thinking about breaking through, he would actively practice his cultivation, and the breakthrough would become a deliberate act, not a natural one.

If one no longer seeks breakthroughs, one will naturally lose one's obsessions, but how can one break through without practicing the exercises?

He stood up and slowly paced around the summit. On the path of cultivation, one will always encounter all sorts of difficulties, especially when martial arts reach a high level, all kinds of obstacles will follow one after another.

Li Mu knew that this matter could not be rushed, as rushing would only deepen his obsession. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and circulated his true energy around his body for several weeks, gradually clearing his mind.

I walked to the cliff edge, looked at the rising sun, slowly gathered my thoughts, calmed my mind and immersed myself in it. Suddenly, a realization arose in my heart.

The next moment, he suddenly moved, and under the bright morning sun, the "Sunrise Qi Sword" was slowly unleashed in his hand.

As the most profound and complex of the Five Swords of Mount Hua, this set of swords consists of 365 swords, corresponding to the 365 days of the year. It is difficult and abstruse, and is a supreme sword technique that uses the sword to comprehend the cyclical changes of celestial phenomena.

Although it cannot compare to the profound concept of the Dugu Nine Swords, which emphasizes advancing without retreating and defeating the opponent with any move, nor can it match the breadth of its comprehensive approach to all sword techniques in the world.

However, in terms of profound artistic conception and exquisite connotation, it is only slightly inferior.

It is said that this sword technique is so complicated, yet it has been passed down in its entirety, which is largely due to his understanding of the Zixia Skill. Therefore, successive leaders of the Huashan Sect have attached great importance to this sword technique.

At this moment, Li Mu's clothes fluttered, and his long sword danced in circles, unleashing one sword after another. Gradually, the Qi in his dantian, which had been calmed down, suddenly jumped, and a surge of true Qi spontaneously and automatically emerged, slowly rising from his lower abdomen. It was warm and gentle, flowing gently through his chest and abdomen, converging at the top of his head, and circulating through the twelve meridians.

Li Mu seemed completely unaware, letting his true energy flow out of his dantian and circulate through the major meridians, taking turns to temper and refine it.

The originally languid true energy in his body seemed to be stirred up by a hidden dragon, spreading, surging, flowing and moving throughout his limbs and bones.

After several more cycles, the originally scattered true energy in the body gradually gathered together and circulated in the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in turn, faster and faster, until the internal energy of the whole body was surging continuously.

His mind was as still as water, natural and spontaneous, without the slightest deliberate effort. It was as if all streams were flowing into the same source. The eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians, the blocked and obstructed meridians and acupoints throughout his body, suddenly jolted, like a silkworm peeling its cocoon. Strands of true energy flowed through, initially like a trickle, but then growing stronger and stronger. Wherever the true energy flowed, all the meridians and acupoints in his body were opened up one by one.

Li Mu's true energy accumulated more and more, eventually surging like a great river and rising waves, surging endlessly throughout his body. Yet, he remained unmoved by joy or sorrow, devoid of thought or desire, continuing to perform a set of sword techniques.

If someone were nearby at this moment, they would see that Li Mu's entire body was shrouded in a faint purple aura, and the purple aura on his face was becoming increasingly intense, gradually emitting a shimmering purple light.

The long sword in his hand, infused with true energy, was surrounded by a purple light that flickered and pulsated.

As time passed, Li Mu gradually awoke from his daze. He seemed to be "dead in spirit but alive in mind." He could clearly understand the condition of his own body, as well as the movement of the wind and grass within a radius of several dozen feet. However, he was without thought or intention, like a puppet, while the long sword in his hand continued to dance.

Suddenly, the energy circulation method of the seventh level of the Zixia Gong flowed through his mind, and his true energy trembled. It spontaneously and automatically circulated along the energy circulation path of the seventh level of the Zixia Gong.

As the final level of Zixia Gong, the energy circulation route is extremely complex. The true energy stays or lingers, passes through or stops, travels or pauses, rises slowly or descends gradually throughout the body's meridians and acupoints. Every major meridian and acupoint in the body must be taken into account.

At this moment, his true energy flowed spontaneously and automatically, following the path he had planned in his mind, without the slightest error. It should be known that the circulation of true energy is controlled by the mind, but at this moment, his mind was free of thoughts and he did not guide the circulation of true energy, yet the true energy seemed to know its way, truly proving the saying, "When the mind is dead, the spirit lives, and the energy moves on its own."

At some point, Li Mu had stopped practicing his sword dance. He sat cross-legged on a blue stone, his five hearts facing the sky. With each breath, his heart and mind merged, his mind and body became one. He was calm and serene, without sorrow or joy, and simply immersed his mind and spirit into his body, feeling all kinds of changes and comprehending many wonderful realms.

In a daze, he seemed to return to the beginning of time, before the separation of heaven and earth, and felt a profound stillness. His mind was also vague and indistinct.

He didn't know how much time had passed—a moment or ten thousand years—when a flash of inspiration appeared in Li Mu's mind. Like a newborn infant, a thought arose in his heart: "Who am I?"

The next moment, his mind was jolted, and a voice answered: "I am who I am, I am still who I am, I am who I am."

Upon this sudden enlightenment, Li Mu felt as if he had been freed from some kind of constraint. His body suddenly felt light, and in a daze, he felt a light tap on the back of his head by a jade hammer. He heard a clear ringing in his ears, and his vision first became completely white, then bright. Saliva spontaneously formed in his mouth and flowed down his throat, sinking into his dantian with a warm current. It felt as if several streams of energy were flowing through his muscles and skin, and wherever they passed, it felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, warm and soothing. His aura gradually grew stronger and continued to flow, until finally, like all rivers flowing into the sea, it all disappeared into nothingness.

Li Mu felt a warmth in his dantian, and his whole body felt comfortable. With each breath, every pore on his body responded to it, and the misty purple energy flowed in and out of his mouth and nose with each breath.

The sun was high in the sky. He focused his mind into his breath, which merged with his spirit. His mind and spirit became one, and his breath was continuous and faint, seemingly present yet absent, gradually returning to calm.

He let out a long breath, slowly stood up from the blue stone, dusted off his sleeves, walked to the cliff edge, and let the mountain wind blow by. After eighteen years in this world, he had finally mastered the Zixia Skill to the final level.

In this world, there is probably no one who can rival me anymore, and no one whose inner strength can match mine.

Li Mu suddenly thought of Dongfang Bubai. Before he died, had he also cultivated his internal energy to this level?

Unfortunately, Dongfang Bubai died at Shaolin Temple seven or eight years ago.

Li Mu sighed softly, looked at the precious sword on the blue stone two zhang away, reached out and grabbed at the air. The sword trembled and slowly flew into his hand.

Li Mu was overjoyed. Seven or eight years ago, when he broke through to the sixth level of the Purple Cloud Skill, he could only lift a small flower into the air. Now he could lift a precious sword into the air. Finally, he could use the Dragon Capture Skill.

Furthermore, the Life and Death Talisman that he has refined and perfected over the years can now be easily produced.

However, although he has now reached the last level of the technique, he has only just entered the seventh level. Only when he has mastered the seventh level of the Purple Cloud Technique will the technique be considered complete.

It took Li Mu seven years to perfect the sixth level of cultivation. The seventh level is even more profound and requires slow and careful comprehension, which will take a long time, perhaps even ten or twenty years, which surprised Li Mu.

The power of this Zixia Skill at its peak might be even greater than he imagined.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Li Mu was thirty-two years old. A major event occurred that year: the Demonic Sect's headquarters officially moved to Borneo.

Thanks to the continuous immigration from the cult, the number of immigrants to Luzon reached 1.5 million; the number of immigrants to the South Pacific islands reached 2 million; and the number of immigrants to Australia reached 600,000.

Next, we will suspend immigration work on Luzon Island and focus all our efforts on immigration to Southeast Asia and Australia.

After all, with the headquarters moved here, the Southeast Asian region will become the core of the Demonic Cult. It should be given priority for development, with the goal of immigrating ten million people within ten years and completely occupying and developing the surrounding islands, large and small.

Two years passed quickly. During these two years, Li Mu put aside his martial arts skills and spent quality time with Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan, taking them on a journey across the world.

Finally, the mission time was up. Li Mu took one last long look before choosing to return.

Chapter 582 Real World

Li Mu slightly opened his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar bedroom in front of him, and was slightly stunned.

Lying in bed with my eyes closed, I slowly adjusted for a while before the familiar atmosphere of modern society gradually returned.

After all, this trip lasted too long; he lived in that world for twenty-two years, which is equivalent to the time he has spent in the real world.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu slowly got up and walked to the windowsill. It was noon outside. Because he had stayed there for so long, more than a day had passed in the real world.

Looking down at the bustling streets, the endless stream of cars, and the pedestrians strolling around, Li Mu thought of another world, and of Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan.

I'll go again when I have the chance!

After enjoying the warm breeze for a while, Li Mu sat down on the sofa in the small living room, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and with a thought, the system appeared.

System: Congratulations on completing the mission. Return to the main world.

[Task Performance: Excellent]

It's an excellent evaluation! Considering I've spent over twenty years there, my life has been quite fulfilling, and I haven't left any regrets. An excellent evaluation is very fitting.

Then you can choose three items as rewards.

First of all, Li Mu immediately noticed the Film and Television World Return Card. Having been to so many worlds, this was the first time he had ever seen such a reward.

This means that after using it, he can return to the world he has experienced.
