The road is vague

Chapter 495 Revelation and Mutation
After a cycle of the sun and moon that lasts for more than half a month, a new day begins in the underground world.

When the artificial sun of the underground world shines again, beams of light pass through the eerie mushroom forest, pulling the souls in the shared dream back into their bodies.

In the dream, the moon was quickly replaced by the sun.

The Gu Immortals emerged from the Mushroom House one after another, beginning a new day.

The light shone on Li Mo, and although it also made him feel a little warm, it was different from the warmth of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

He slightly raised his arm and looked at the sunlight on his palm.

The sunlight was slightly blocked by his protective aura, and the abundant spiritual power purified away the hidden harm, leaving only basic warmth, but it also required a continuous supply of spiritual power.

However, this hidden order of damage seems to be a great tonic for the vampire old demon.

Similar to the relationship between the Lingquan Spring at Lingquan Pavilion in Qingming Mountain and Li Mo.

After a while.

Through the principles of Tao and reason, Li Mo managed to glimpse a trace of the grand trend of the universe.

The sunlight in the mountain and sea realm exudes fertility and passion, full of vitality; the sunlight here, however, is catalytic and ruthless, full of radicalism.

Compared to the immense power of the origin of heaven and earth that gave birth to countless rules and orders, which is beyond description in terms of antiquity, sublimity, and grandeur, the power of order that these Nascent Soul cultivators possess is merely a superficial understanding and is truly insignificant.

"Let's go?"

"it is good."

The old vampire nodded reluctantly.

But from this moment on, he clearly realized that the source of the lineage of the bloodline cultivators was actually these Gu Immortals of the Mother Nest Realm. They devoured the strong generation after generation, absorbing the talents and destinies of these strong individuals and leaving them to their descendants for generations to come.

Meanwhile, the bloodline cultivators comprehended the most important aspect: conquering the Heavenly Ladder.

This is the ladder to heaven built by countless iconic and powerful beings that the Mother Nest has devoured over millions of years.

Bloodline cultivators use these powerful figures as benchmarks to constantly surpass themselves and elevate their own level, rather than engaging in the cold-blooded reproduction and propagation of Gu Immortals.

Li Mo took out a spirit stone and threw it to a strange insect that looked like a red balloon in front of the door. The insect, which resembled a pufferfish, quickly sucked up the spiritual energy from the stone with its nose and then flew away into the distance.

This is the Knowledge Gu from the underground world, and its function is similar to the human race's communication talisman.

After doing all this, Li Mo noticed a group of Gu Immortals in the distance heading towards the Queen Mother's palace, and getting into a fight with another group of Gu Immortals.

"It seems like something's wrong over there?"

"The old vampire asked in surprise."

Just then, the demon butterfly who had brought the two of them here yesterday flew over, but this time he looked a little preoccupied.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, please lead the way."

The golden Gu token in Li Mo's hand reflected the radiance of the artificial sun, giving him a unique aura in the underground world.

He planned to return to the headquarters of the Road Guiding Bureau after the war in Miao territory ended, and use the Trial Diagram to deeply decipher the Blood Essence, Golden Gu Token, and Tiger Tally traded by the Vampire Old Demon.

"Ok."

The fairy butterfly frowned, but ultimately said nothing more.

soon.

The demon butterfly summoned several Gu Immortals of various forms, who then flew away into the distance with Li Mo and the Blood-Sucking Demon.

Along the way, the Vampire Demon frequently looked back at the sun in the underground world, appearing reluctant to leave. Li Mo, on the other hand, noticed that the Black Shell Gu Immortal and the Leech Gu Immortal beside him were constantly exchanging divine thoughts.

He couldn't help but feel curious, so he quietly used his Mind-Breaking Thunder to eavesdrop.

"What exactly did the revelation in last night's dream mean? We will all die. It felt too real, not like a dream. Why didn't Mother Queen interpret this revelation this time?"

"I heard that there was a problem with the altar. The Queen Bee Elder discovered the anomaly and tried to seek enlightenment on his own, which has caused widespread panic."

"Elder Bee has always been the Queen Mother's biggest opponent, but if the Queen Mother doesn't give an explanation soon, I think I'll have no choice but to switch my support to Elder Bee. Captain, you must feel the same way, right?"

"should be……"

Li Mo was shocked.

In just one night, this underground world seemed to be stirring with undercurrents.

Or perhaps the underground world had been turbulent all along, and he just happened to arrive at this moment, so much so that the Queen Mother had no time to deal with him.

It's not hard to see from the Queen Mother's attitude towards him that she has focused all her energy on the so-called Matrix Altar, preparing to return to the Mother Nest after the apocalypse. However, after yesterday's meeting, Li Mo always felt that this Queen Mother seemed to have some evil aura. He just didn't know whether she was corrupted by evil or using the power of evil, similar to the Divine Mechanism Sect.

But regardless of the circumstances, all of this is undoubtedly related to He Ku.

"stop!"

As the six were passing through a black mushroom forest, several Gu Immortals suddenly appeared in the distance and blocked their path.

The leader was a hornet with six arms, who looked at the six people with an arrogant expression.

"Elder Bee has decreed that the Nine Caves be sealed off from this day forward, until the Mountain and Sea Guardians who have infiltrated the underground world are captured. This is his portrait!"

After seeing He Ku in the portrait, Li Mo and the Vampire Demon couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Oh?"

Captain Fairy Butterfly looked thoughtful.

"There's always been a saying that the guardians of mountains and seas will multiply here through popularity. Could last night's revelation be related to him, or did he secretly reveal something?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Mo and the Vampire Demon, his eyes showing some hesitation.

But at this moment.

The cricket Gu Immortal, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly snorted coldly and glared at Li Mo and the Bloodsucking Demon.

"If you ask me, we should just kill all these humans. Anyway, so many years have passed, and our contact with those above has become less and less. Let's stop pretending and let them do whatever they want. The end times are coming, and only by following the revelation can we find a way out!"

In just one night, with a single revelation, these former subordinates of the Queen Mother began to show signs of overthrowing her rule.

"Want to kill us?"

Li Mo crossed his arms, cold and wary.

"You intend to betray the Queen Mother?"

"It was the Queen Mother who betrayed us, otherwise how could there have been last night's revelation!"

"Revelation is never wrong..."

For the Miao region, the underground world is like a powerful backing. On the surface, it is ruled by the so-called Queen Mother, with several elders acting as checks and balances. In reality, the descendants of the sun and the revelations from dreams seem to represent some higher, unseen beings.

They can influence the entire underground world in a broader, more subtle, and more mysterious way.

Speaking of revelation, Li Mo can also receive revelation from the Nine-Tailed Fox through the Misty Box, which is also a way of influencing higher-level beings.

Last night, one of the higher-level beings, through revelation from a shared dream in the underground world, influenced countless insects and Gu Immortals, threatening the Queen Mother's rule.

There may be other hidden influences behind this.

On the surface, the underground world seems to have become a war between divine and secular power, but from the perspective of deeper entanglements of interests, it may also involve a larger conspiracy, relating to the relationship between the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Underground World, the Mother Nest Realm, and evil spirits.

However, these things were far too distant and too vast for Li Mo and the Vampire Demon. They were too insignificant and thus suddenly stumbled into a chaotic mess.

They have little chance of truly influencing the overall situation here.

The entire underground world is about to descend into chaos, but this seems to be more in the interest of the Great Qian Kingdom. The question now is whether they will participate in the chaos or leave as soon as possible.

"Out of control."

Li Mo suddenly drew the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword from behind his back.

As his boundless spiritual light poured into the black-gold spine-shaped greatsword, the spiritual order surged forth from this magical artifact, a fusion of evil and yang, sweeping towards the tiger-headed bee Gu Immortal blocking its path like a purgatory bone tower.

This originally enormous Gu Immortal instantly became incredibly small under the power of the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he realized that his six arms had coalesced into six different forces of order, which then merged into one in a way that Li Mo found hard to understand, gathering on his body surface to form a shell.

Bang!
The terrifyingly hot purifying power blasted the hornet away, but failed to kill it in one blow.

Li Mo could vaguely sense that this Gu Immortal's abilities were similar to the Blood-Red Protective Aura of the Vampire Old Demon, and also shared some similarities with the Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal who relied on the power of the Sacred Shell. All of them followed the same power nature under the same lineage.

Li Mo made the first move, prompting the other Gu Immortals to also engage in battle.

Three of the Gu Immortals possessed abilities similar to those of the Tiger Bee Gu Immortals, condensing various different orders onto their shells, making them appear as if they were enveloped in a high concentration of spiritual light, greatly enhancing their defensive, speed, and destructive capabilities.

A primal, simple, and violent aura surged forth, distorting the surrounding air as it rushed towards Li Mo.

Suddenly.

A force of the universe descended.

When Li Mo activated the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the underground world, he actually had a third-person perspective.

It's as if you're no longer yourself, but rather being controlled by an invisible hand from above.

The three Gu Immortals who were charging towards them were stirred by this trace of heaven-reaching power. They immediately felt their souls freeze, everything slowed down, and all they could see was monotonous black and white. Their thoughts also became stagnant.

The closest cricket spirit to Li Mo was less than three zhang away.

Its enormous size exuded an alien aura that even triggered the defensive aura of Li Mo's Nascent Soul-level protective spirit.

Li Mo raised his hand and pointed lightly.

The lightning crystals within his body floated out, their transformed power vanishing in an instant.

This grasshopper-like Gu Immortal, which was ten feet long and whose shell was enveloped in order, was instantly torn apart by an invisible force.

Immediately afterward, the remaining power of the Thunder Crystal suddenly changed direction and shot towards the Dragonfly Gu Immortal more than ten feet away.

The dragonfly-like Gu spirit was powerless to resist and was torn to pieces on the spot.

When Lei Jing's final power turned to the third mosquito Gu Immortal, he seemed to have gradually awakened from the intimidation of the Heavenly Power. His eyes regained their brilliance, followed by fear, and he tried his best to control his outer shell of order for defense.

Boom!
Lightning surged in all directions, and the Gu Immortal was sent flying more than ten feet before crashing to the ground, causing nearby mushroom trees to fall in all directions.

The Mosquito Gu Immortal barely managed to get up; its abdomen was completely ruptured, and its internal organs were constantly flowing out of the cracks.

But upon seeing the explosion of its two companions not far away, it disregarded the pain, its eyes filled with relief, and deep down it even felt a sense of smug satisfaction at surviving a disaster.

"I survived!"

He was about to turn and flee when the Golden Flame Sword swept across him, and he was instantly reduced to ashes amidst his screams.

Li Mo glanced indifferently at the burning earth.

"Heaven-reaching power!"

The severely injured Tiger-Headed Bee Gu Immortal, who was some distance away, reacted and let out a terrified scream.

"Don't go near him!"

The Demonic Butterfly Fairy roared and added, "Attack him from a distance!"

The eyes on his wings seemed to come alive, and he was about to launch a long-range attack on Li Mo when a bright light flashed, instantly blinding him.

This is precisely the characteristic of the Heavenly Mystery Needle.

After instantly annihilating the three Gu Immortals beside him, Li Mo couldn't help but sneer inwardly upon hearing this.

Maintaining distance can indeed prevent being intimidated by the power of the Heavenly Gate to some extent, but human cultivators are most skilled at long-range combat. The butterfly demon Gu Xian in the distance immediately let out a miserable scream as it was pierced by the Heavenly Mystic Needle.

In the distance, the Vampire Demon also engaged in battle with other Gu Immortals. Cultivators on the Aolai Continent, whether they cultivate both body and life or focus on bloodline cultivation, all possess remarkable close combat abilities, which is quite different from the diverse cultivation styles of cultivators on the main continent.

that's it.

After just a few moments.

As the fierce battle came to an abrupt end, the nearby mushroom forest was left riddled with ravines and pits, with the corpse of the Gu Immortal scattered on the ground, broken into tiny insects.

The cricket Gu Immortal, who was the first to jump out and threaten to kill Li Mo and the Blood-Sucking Demon, was captured by the Blood-Sucking Demon, who sucked his blood as if it were a precious treasure, groaning in pain.

"huh huh huh huh."

In contrast to the Gu Immortal's suffering, the Vampire Demon frequently let out excited, sinister laughs.

Only after seeing Li Mo destroy the last Gu Immortal did the old demon suppress his smile and cough lightly to cover his embarrassment.

"This insect is somewhat useful to me. What should we do next? Should we side with the Queen Mother, or with Elder Bee, or leave this place?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo waved his hand.

However, before he could speak, an astonishing red light suddenly erupted from the horizon, eventually condensing into a pillar of light that shot into the sky. Even the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator seemed insignificant before this red light.

"That seems to be the direction in which they deployed the Hyper Matrix?"

While Li Mo and the Vampire Demon were dumbfounded, a second beam of light suddenly burst forth from the distant horizon, also pointing straight to the sky.

Then comes the third and fourth rounds.

The entire underground world seemed to be filled with unease as a result, and the artificial sunlight was being rapidly replaced by this unsettling red light.
