Chapter 264: Liu Xu's Foolishness and Mu Zongsi's Sainthood

"I'm almost there!"

When Mu Zongsi opened his eyes, there was an oppressive feeling that made people unable to look directly at him. His aura had reached its peak, but after he roared out this sentence, his aura that reached its peak rose again. At this moment, he had one foot in the realm of sainthood.

Half a foot in the realm of sainthood gave Mu Zongsi hope.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit, I can succeed!"

The pair of eyes that made people unable to look directly at him were bloodshot. Mu Zongsi looked very uncomfortable now. His forehead was sweating like rain, and his face was as pale as paper, as if he was enduring great pain.

In addition to pain, there was also boundless pressure.

Mu Zongsi could feel that there was an insurmountable mountain in front of him.

It was very high, so high that it was suffocating.

He had already stepped on the top of the mountain, and he only needed this last step to successfully cross it.

But there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him, which made him unable to move forward at all.

What's more, he felt that there were countless great terrors hidden behind the wall, and even he felt the terror, which made his scalp numb.

This was something he had never seen before, and he had never encountered it when he broke through the realm before. Today was the first time he encountered it.

"It has come to this point now. Even if there is the abyss of death ahead, I will still step forward!" Mu Zongsi roared.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered all his strength and hit the mountain in front of him.

Blood was flowing out of his seven orifices, and his luck was constantly flowing throughout his body. In addition to the special ability of the emperor, Mu Zongsi moved his legs hard and took a step forward. In front of him, he directly crossed the mountain with this step.

"Boom!"

The sound of tinnitus, accompanied by the roar of the whole body, made Mu Zongsi feel dizzy.

Although it was very uncomfortable, he knew that he had successfully reached the realm of sainthood.

"Finally succeeded. I finally lived up to everyone's expectations and reached this level!"

Mu Zongsi was ecstatic and didn't care about the dizziness. He stood up and wanted to walk.

But just as he took a step, an illusion suddenly appeared in front of him.

He knew it was an illusion because he was now in the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

"Is this the great horror I just saw?"

In front of Mu Zongsi, the surrounding scenery changed. He was in darkness, and in the darkness, there was a large atmosphere that frightened him.

"I have reached the realm of sainthood, why do I still feel fear? What is going on?"

Mu Zongsi felt incredible. He tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and looked around.

The darkness made him unable to recognize things, but he felt that there was a strong smell of blood in the darkness, which kept echoing around him.

He just thought about it in his heart, and his body unconsciously walked towards the smell of blood.

The closer he got to the smell of blood, the weaker the darkness in front of him.

When the darkness became weaker and weaker, a little light suddenly emerged from the darkness and kept expanding in front of Mu Zongsi.

Mu Zongsi was stunned in place, and he saw the signs of this little light after it was enlarged.

It was an eye, a huge eye, floating in the sky, staring at him with cold eyes, giving him goose bumps all over his body.

Mu Zongsi suddenly felt that he had no privacy in front of this huge eye. He felt that his whole body was seen through by this huge eye, without any concealment.

This feeling made him very unhappy, but he could do nothing about it.

At this moment, he felt that this huge eye suddenly changed. The eyes were still cold, but there was an endless murderous intent hidden in the coldness.

This murderous aura was directed at him, making his scalp numb. He felt like a small boat in the sea, drifting with the current, and could capsize at any time.

This feeling only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared. The huge eye disappeared, and Mu Zongsi returned to his original position.

"Is the hallucination gone?" Mu Zongsi was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, only to find that his forehead was covered with dense sweat.

It was indeed an illusion just now, but it was so real that it made him feel terrible.

That feeling told him that the huge eye would kill him and make him powerless to resist, even if he reached the realm of the saint.

"What is going on?"

"Where did this eye come from? Why have I never seen it before? And why is it releasing murderous intent to me?"

"I have reached the realm of the saint, but I still feel powerless to resist. What realm is this huge eye?"

Questions one after another arose in Mu Zongsi's mind, but no one answered these questions for him, and he had no way to solve them, because he was now confused.

He had reached the realm of the saint, but he still had no joy. Because of the huge eye, he always felt that there was a sword hanging over his head.

"This news cannot be told for the time being, and they must not be told, otherwise there will be problems." Mu Zongsi thought to himself.

Now everyone in the world knows that the opponent is Guishi, but they don't know that there is a huge eye above Guishi.

But he must not tell this news to anyone. At least now it seems that it is very important to keep this secret.

Because once it is told, even he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

General Manager Mu slowly exhaled, letting his mood and expression return to normal, and then he pushed open the door and walked out.

...

When someone becomes a saint, the world will naturally change drastically. No matter where you are, as long as you are in the industry, you can feel it.

Their eyes all looked towards the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Now that the world is unified, except for a few people, most people are ecstatic. With a saint, they will have greater confidence when fighting against Guishi.

In the barbarian fiefdom far away from the Great Chu Kingdom Palace, in the palace treasury, Xu Bai has read all the books in half a month, including the books in the palace treasury.

At this time, light blue smoke appeared, forming an attribute panel.

[Name: Xu Bai. 】

[Realm: Supernormal ninth-grade wanderer. 】

[Ten thousand aspects of the sky leading to the mountains and seas (supernormal 9.5 level): full level. 】

[Ten thousand attacks (entering the saint level 2): ​​full level. 】

[Ten thousand defenses (entering the saint level 2): ​​full level. 】

[Ten thousand miscellaneous skills (entering the saint level 3): full level. 】

[Ten thousand assistance (entering the saint level 2): ​​full level. 】

[Ten thousand strange skills (entering the saint level 1): full level. 】

[Comprehension: full level. 】

[……]

At the end of the attribute panel, a series of ellipsis marks were used to represent various skills.

But he did not have the experience of failing to become a saint, so he could not integrate them. His current skills are very diverse.

None of this is important. After he had worked on a large number of progress bars, and used the upgraded golden finger to work them out, he finally made a huge progress. His mental method has reached level 9.5.

Just the last 0.5, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a saint.

Originally, this was a great joyous event, but he couldn't be happy now, because he sensed the news that someone had become a saint, and this news must be from Mu Zongsi of the Great Chu Kingdom's palace.

Xu Bai looked at the attribute panel in front of him, and when the attribute panel disappeared, he frowned and thought.

Liu Qingfeng, who was next to him, saw Xu Bai's appearance and was full of doubts.

In the recent half-month of retreat, he could feel that Xu Bai's strength was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made him extremely envious.

Sometimes people will get angry when they compare themselves to others. He thinks he is also a genius, but he is like a fool in front of Xu Bai.

Who would have thought that in half a month, the strength would grow so fast, which is simply incredible.

From the initial surprise, to the envy later, and to the numbness now, Liu Qingfeng felt that he had seen it.

But he was very confused. Xu Bai's progress was so fast, why did he still look unhappy?

Xu Bai was of course unhappy. After Mu Zongsi reached the state of sainthood, he didn't know what he encountered. This is what he was worried about.

Before, the King of Chu saw something when he was a saint. He wondered if General Mu had seen it too.

He didn't want to tell others about the huge eyes because he was afraid that others would be involved in it and they wouldn't be able to get away without his golden finger.

Now that General Mu had reached the state of sainthood, Xu Bai felt that he could ask, or take a look.

"I'm going to the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom. Please take care of this place." Xu Bai stood up from his seat and left directly after saying that.

Liu Qingfeng looked at Xu Bai's back as he left and scratched his head in confusion.

...

The palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Xu Bai came all the way quickly. Even when he arrived at the palace, he didn't fall from the air and went directly to the imperial study where General Mu was.

As soon as he landed in the yard, he felt that the spies in the dark building cast their eyes over him.

Xu Bai looked back, and these spies quickly withdrew their eyes, indicating that they saw nothing.

At this time, the voice of General Manager Mu came from the room.

"Come in, you haven't been here for so long, you must have something to say."

Xu Bai didn't say anything and pushed the door open.

After entering, he closed the door with his backhand. Looking at General Manager Mu sitting in his seat, he fell into deep thought, not knowing how to start.

General Manager Mu frowned and said, "I have never seen you look like this before. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide anything between us."

General Manager Mu has been upset recently, especially when he thinks of the huge eye every day, he is even more uneasy.

This is a very normal thing. After finally standing at the top of the world and being able to settle all the subsequent strange markets, he found that there is still a person standing on his head. No one would be happy.

Xu Bai pondered for a long time, and finally organized his words, saying, "Did you see anything when you broke through to the Sainthood?"

Mu Zongsi was stunned. He really didn't expect Xu Bai to ask this question.

After coming back to his senses, Mu Zongsi stared at Xu Bai's eyes and said, "What do you know?"

He felt that Xu Bai knew something, but didn't say it clearly.

Xu Bai said, "You have to tell me what you saw, so I can tell you what I know."

If what Mu Zongsi saw had nothing to do with the giant eye, Xu Bai would never tell anyone. If there was a connection, it would prove that Mu Zongsi had been involved with the giant eye, so it would be okay for him to tell anyone.

The two fell into silence, and no one spoke.

After about half an incense stick of time, Mu Zongsi finally spoke.

"You should know something, right?" Mu Zongsi smiled bitterly.

He also saw that Xu Bai should know something, and what he knew should be related to what he knew.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "I know."

The power of luck continued to surge in Mu Zongsi's body, blocking all the surroundings and preventing the information from being transmitted.

After doing all this, General Mu told what he saw: "I saw a huge eye."

When Xu Bai heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"It is so!"

When someone reaches the state of sainthood, they will be known by the huge eye. Although the huge eye is trapped in the ruins, it still has this ability.

"What happened next? What happened next?" Xu Bai asked anxiously.

General Mu continued: "That eye is very strong, so strong that even I, who have reached the state of sainthood, still can't resist it. It has murderous aura, and that murderous aura is directed at me. I don't know why."

When mentioning the huge eye, General Mu's face was still a little horrified. Obviously, the shock brought to him by the huge eye was too great.

When Xu Bai heard this, he finally confirmed the answer in his heart.

Just as he guessed, General Mu was indeed watched by the huge eye.

"If that's the case, some things can be said."

General Mu has already encountered the giant eyes, which proves that there is already a connection. It doesn't matter if he says it out. There is just someone to share it with, and there will be one more person who can come up with a plan.

Thinking of this, in the expectant eyes of General Mu, Xu Bai told everything he knew. Of course, he concealed the part about the golden finger.

When Xu Bai told everything he knew, the whole room fell into silence.

Although it was quiet on the surface, General Mu's eyes were full of shock.

He couldn't describe his mood at the moment. After hearing this huge secret, he really couldn't say a word.

Who would have thought that there were countless worlds besides his own world.

And the exhaustion of resources in each world was actually caused by the so-called Supreme Saint.

"Wait for me to sort it out first. I'm a little confused now." General Mu felt that these things really upset him.

Xu Bai nodded.

He also understood that it was right to be upset.

Anyone would be like this.

If it was the first time he heard it, he would be even more confused.

After a long while, Mu Zongsi finally reacted.

"That is to say, I should be targeted."

"But after he targeted me, did he have other means? After all, even if he was targeted, he was trapped in the ruins and couldn't get out."

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, because I came here just to ask. Now it seems that you do know these things. As for whether you can come after being targeted, it's unclear."

As long as there is a saint, this world will be destroyed by the Supreme Saint, and the world will start all over again.

The key is that the Supreme Saint is now trapped in the ruins. I don't know what the Supreme Saint looked at Mu Zongsi at that time.

"It seems that we have to speed up the progress and unify the Gui City as soon as possible." Mu Zongsi said slowly.

Now, the only way is to unify the whole world and see if we can find other ways.

Of course, before that, there is one more thing to do.

Xu Bai said, "I need to do something, and I need your help."

General Mu did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand and said, "Tell me, as long as I can do it."

Xu Bai nodded and said, "I want books, many, many books, but I can't collect them by myself. I need you to help me collect them, the more the better."

Books?

General Mu was also a smart man, and he quickly realized what Xu Bai was thinking.

"You should be close to that realm soon, right?"

What realm?

Of course, it refers to the sainthood.

Xu Bai said without hesitation, "It is indeed time to take that step, and it will be very soon, but it will require a lot of books."

There is no need to think about anything else now, and there is no need to cover it up.

Just don't say it clearly and let them guess.

The most important thing for him was to improve his strength. According to what was said in the book, as long as he reached the peak of the Sainthood, there would be a solution. He was looking forward to that solution.

Mu Zongshi pondered for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I'll do this, don't worry."

He had asked what he should ask and said what he should say. Now that the matter was settled, Xu Bai would not stay here.

He was very pressed for time. After returning, in addition to waiting for news from Mu Zongshi, he also had to collect some books. In addition, Chu Ling was about to give birth, so he had to rush back and did not go to Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai took off directly and rushed towards the barbarian fiefdom.

...

With his full efforts, he arrived at the palace in a short time.

He was about to go to Chu Ling and ask Chu Ling to help him collect books, but before he got there, he found a group of people outside Chu Ling's room.

Xu Bai stopped immediately.

His arrival attracted the attention of the group.

The leader was a scholar in white clothes. To be precise, all of them were scholars.

"Lord Xu, something bad has happened!" The leading scholar walked over quickly, shouting anxiously as he walked.

Xu Bai frowned: "Aren't you scholars from the branch of the academy here? Why are you here?"

The branch was led by Liu Xu.

Most of the scholars became officials in the barbarian tribe, but some of them did not have the ability, so they were still studying hard.

Xu Bai didn't know what it meant to come here suddenly at this time.

When he asked, the leading scholar showed a bitter smile.

"Acting Dean...something happened!"

While speaking, the scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of anxiety.

Xu Bai was stunned and it took him a long time to react.

Acting Dean...refers to Liu Xu!

Ever since the dean went into seclusion and had a quarrel with Prime Minister Wen, all the affairs of the academy have been handed over to Liu Xu. Now saying that the acting dean has something wrong means that Liu Xu has something wrong.

Xu Bai's face became heavy: "Tell me what happened?"

The scholar said quickly: "Dean Acting... when she was trying to reach the extraordinary realm, she suddenly... became stupid."

"But this is not absolutely stupid. As long as someone approaches, she will be attacked. If no one approaches, she will stand there."

"We don't know what to do. This place is the closest to us, so we came here specially to find her."

Stupid?

Xu Bai felt his head buzzing.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. He was already under a lot of pressure. Now he suddenly heard this news, which made him feel even more stressed.

Xu Bai grabbed the scholar's shoulder: "Take me to see it!"

He kept telling himself not to be impatient and to see Liu Xu first.

The scholar also knew the urgency of the matter and hurried to lead the way.

Xu Bai did not go in to find Chu Ling again. It was important to solve Liu Xu's problem first.

He thought the scholar was too slow, so he grabbed the scholar and rushed directly to the location of the branch.

As for the other scholars, he couldn't care less, just let them go back by themselves.

The captured scholar only felt a gust of wind coming, and the people had already reached a very far place, so fast that he felt terrified.

"Don't talk, I know the location of your academy, you can tell me where the catkins are when the time comes."

The scholar who was about to speak heard Xu Bai's voice in his ear, nodded, and closed his mouth.

...

Academy.

At this time, everyone in the academy was in a panic.

They walked around the academy in a panic, and everyone had an anxious look on their faces.

At this time, two figures fell from the sky and landed steadily in the center.

When the scholars present saw the people coming, they showed surprise on their faces.

"It's Prince Xu!"

Several people were about to speak, but were interrupted by Xu Bai.

"Tell me the location of the catkins."

The scholar caught by Xu Bai quickly pointed to a direction, and Xu Bai didn't waste any words. After letting him go, he rushed directly to that location.

After passing the building in front, Xu Bai came to the backyard and saw the situation in the backyard.

In the backyard, Liu Xu was standing there, looking up at the sky.

Her originally lively eyes became dull, without any life.

She just stood there, with a veil on her face, like a piece of wood.

"Liu Xu!" Xu Bai shouted, but there was no response.

He tried to take two steps forward. The more he walked towards Liu Xu, the more he felt that Liu Xu was emitting a stronger and stronger threat, as if he would be attacked as long as he got close.

Xu Bai stopped and continued, "Don't get excited, it's me."

There was still no response. When Xu Bai stopped, the sense of danger was reduced.

Xu Bai frowned more and more deeply. This scene was just as the scholar said. Liu Xu really seemed to become stupid and could only defend against people approaching by instinct.

He didn't know what was going on, but if he became stupid, it should be related to the soul, and he had made great achievements in the soul.

Xu Bai tried to spread his soul and swept towards Liu Xu.

But at this moment, Liu Xu suddenly turned his head, and his eyes turned from dull to cold.

At the same time, a thick black book appeared in Liu Xu's hand.

On the black book, there was a strong light flashing, and in just a moment, it condensed into a small black sword, flying towards Xu Bai...
