I am a living immortal.

Watching the old goat devouring its food.

They looked like they had come from some remote corner, but the smell was more like coming from the sea. Even after the surface smell was shaken away, there was still a faint scent of the ocean.

“You fell into the sea?”

"Don't mention it." The old goat said incoherently while eating the food whole.

Not eating for more than ten days was nothing, but the old goat had been with Su Mu for so many years and had long been accustomed to eating twice a day, three times a day, and was not used to it when it was broken. It felt much better after swallowing the food.

Seeing this, several people didn't say anything.

After finishing the food on the table and burping, the old goat finally came back to life. The sea was really not a place for humans to stay.

The old goat ate while listening to Su Mu and the others chatting.

After finishing his meal, he spoke: "My luck was a little off, but it wasn't completely fruitless. I saw two mulberry trees entangled in the reflection of the sea, and the sun once set in that ocean. I wonder if this information is helpful to you."

"Hibiscus tree?" Su Mu immediately understood what the old goat was talking about.

“Anything else?”

"Yes..." The old goat frowned, as if it was a bad memory.

"It was by chance that I encountered the hibiscus trees. I hadn't intended to stay, but this strange scene might have given me some clues, so I stayed for a while and even looked into the sea. I discovered that the two hibiscus trees weren't actually in this cave world."

"Or, in other words, this Fusang exists in multiple dimensions at the same time."

"And there were nine suns on that Fusang tree, just like the one hanging in the sky. When the sun fell into the sea, it appeared in the shadow, but not in the ocean."

"My intuition told me not to delve any further. If I did, I would get into trouble, so I left." The old goat finished his words in one breath.

"you mean......"

Su Mu and Shen Qiu exchanged a glance: "These nine cave worlds may be connected, or even interconnected."

"It should be impossible for them to be connected, because I remember that the speed of time flow in each cave world should be different. If they are connected, the speed of time flow in each cave world must be balanced." Cao Chen said.

"You're right. If it were in ancient times, it might have been possible. Although it's possible now, the cost outweighs the benefits."

"So it's more likely that the nine cave worlds are connected through the Fusang tree. That's a bit troublesome." Shen Qiu said.

"Even if they manage to seize this cave heaven by surprise, it would be impossible to replicate their strategy." "Because to seize the cave heaven, they must confront the mastermind behind it. Right now, the enemy is in the open, and I'm in the dark, able to surprise them. If I'm exposed, the situation will be completely reversed."

This is not good news.

Moreover, if there really is a connection, perhaps this cave world would not be so easy to seize. An independent cave world is not the same as a connected cave world.

Just when everyone was thinking of a solution.

Su Mu smiled and said, "We can just do it according to our previous plan. There's no need to be so greedy."

Hearing this, several people relaxed their brows. It was true. We didn't know what this space would be like yet, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

"But this news is still very important. It reminds us that premature exposure is not a good thing. Cao Chen."

“You say.”

"We need to weave some false destiny to confuse people."

"But..." Cao Chen wanted to say that the fate he had woven might not be able to deceive the other party, after all, it was that kind of existence.

"It's okay. There's no need to deceive the other party, and we can't deceive them either. What we need is to use these fates to delay the exposure time and attract that person's realization to me."

“Attracted to us.”

"Yes, this will give the others more time. That being was once a Heavenly Emperor, after all. We haven't found any trace of him yet. Instead of us looking for him, why not let him come to me? But it's better if these destinies are real. The longer he keeps his eyes on us, maybe we can use these eyes to know where he is and what he has done."

"Anyway, we've already made enemies with them by seizing the cave heaven. We're going to fight to the death, so let's just go all out."

"It would be best if I were discovered first, so I don't have to play hide-and-seek with them. Besides, I'm not afraid of them. I can drag them out of the shadows and into the light."

Everyone present was smart, and they understood what Su Mu said immediately.

"That's really your style," Shen Qiu said with a laugh. Su Mu was just that kind of person. He was lazy, but also very good at turning passive situations into active ones.

Su Mu just shook her head and said nothing.

While the news brought by the old goat wasn't good, it still served as a warning to everyone. The opponent they faced this time was no pushover. Every member of the opposing camp was an innate deity, possessing nine complete cave heavens. Even if the world outside were to change, the power of this one person could still be seen through their lens.

Nothing major happened in the next few days.

But ever since the arrival of the floating mountain, the number of people in the city has dwindled. Most have left, fleeing for safety. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a war is imminent. Those who can escape have done so, and those who can't have found ways to leave.

Even the restaurant where Su Mu and others lived was informing their descendants that it was empty.

After a few days, there was no one in the city.

Of course, the building was still there. Su Mu and the others didn't plan to stay there, as it would be too conspicuous. So they hid in the cave in the painting.

The feeling of a cave within a cave—a nesting doll—was quite novel to the group. Of course, this was also because the cave in Shen Qiu's painting was incomplete. A complete cave couldn't be brought in. It would be like trying to stuff a person inside a person's stomach. The cave's capacity had a limit; if it exceeded that limit, it would be destroyed.

If you act tough, there is a high probability that both sides will perish, and this can also be regarded as a last resort.

So theoretically this nesting doll behavior is impossible.

After years of renovation, the interior of Shen Qiu's cave in the painting has become very complete.

So the few of them were quite comfortable living there. Moreover, the world in this painting was different from the one that sent Yunyue and the others there, as they could see what was happening outside.

That group of immortal cultivators flew around in the sky all day long to investigate, but they did not approach Shang Jingzong, as if they were waiting for some kind of decision.
