Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

"What is this?"

As soon as Zhao Mu's mind moved, he chopped off the leaf from the branch, then wrapped it with magic power and sealed it before approaching.

He carefully mobilized his magic power and probed into the mist on the leaves. Suddenly, the mist wrapped around his magic power and tried to enter his mind.

"not good!"

Zhao Mu was shocked and quickly cut off his magic power and retreated quickly.

The mist had no support and immediately fell down, wrapping around another leaf.

"This mist is so weird, it actually wants to cling to my mind?"

Zhao Mu had doubts in his heart: "But where does the mist come from, and how does it enter the void and wrap around the peach tree branches?"

"That's not right. According to ancient records, no other person or thing can enter the void except for human gods."

"Even powerful monks in the Dominion Realm cannot sense the existence of the void outside the world at all. How can this mist get in?"

"Also, when did it come in? Was it a long time ago, or... wait!"

Zhao Mu's eyes narrowed: "I haven't had any contact with outsiders these days. The only outsider I saw was the hive spy just now."

"Is it a coincidence?"

"No, there are so many coincidences in the world. I had something abnormal as soon as he came. There must be something wrong with this person."

Zhao Mu immediately used his magic power to seal the packages on the three layers inside and outside the mist. Then with a thought, he passed through the layers of branches and leaves and found the location of the previous hive agent.

In the secluded courtyard, three men were talking.

"How about it? Have you informed the Duke of the cursed doll?"

"Well, I already said it."

"What happened? Why do you look so weird?"

"Nothing happened. When I went to the Duke's Mansion, I found that Taoist Wan Yu was there, so it was inevitable that I would be surprised."

"Is Taoist Wan Yu also in the Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes, there have been rumors in our hive that Master Wan Yu is the master behind the hive. Do you think this rumor is true or false?"

"Who knows, this rumor has been circulating for hundreds of years, but it is always based on rumors. No one can confirm it. We should not make wild guesses."

"By the way, now we have found a cursed doll, how should we find the other two?"

"Just wait for two days. Depending on what Duke Zhen Guo wants, I'm afraid she will take action herself to deal with the cursed doll in the body of the Minister of Tobe."

"Okay, once she catches the cursed doll, she will definitely be able to give us more clues after research. Then it will be much easier to find the other two cursed dolls."

At this moment, none of the three people noticed that Zhao Mu had been standing beside them for a long time.

It's just that Zhao Mu has disappeared, so they can't notice it at all.

At this moment, Zhao Mu was frowning.

Because just now, he clearly sensed a second mist appearing in the peach tree branches in the void.

But as for how this second mist entered the peach tree branch, he didn't notice it at all, as if it appeared out of thin air.

"It can't appear out of thin air. I can only say that the way it entered the peach tree branch was not something I could detect."

Zhao Mu thought to himself: "But it can be judged that the appearance of the mist must be related to these three spies. After all, it was only when I came to these three people that the second mist appeared in the peach tree branches."

He looked at the three people: "This kind of fog seems to be able to affect the mind. It's hard to say whether these three people have been controlled by others."

"To avoid alerting others, these three people cannot move lightly. We should first find out what the mist is, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mu retracted his figure and returned to the void outside the world.

"My dear, look what is this?"

With a thought in his mind, he had communicated with his true self in the vast sea continent.

At the same time, he activated a ray of Hun Tianji's divine power, wrapped the mist along the branches of the fragrant peach tree, and sent the mist to the vast sea continent.

With the divine power of the seal, I believe that no matter what the mist is, it should not be enough to cause harm to the deity.

Hanhai Continent, Heavenly Palace.

Zhao Mu raised his hand, and a gap suddenly opened in the air, and then a branch stretched out. The end of the branch was filled with mist wrapped in divine power.

Zhao Mu took the mist in his hand and suddenly said: "Master, please come to my place and ask me anything."

The faint voice was transmitted to Master Changkong in the Ziwei Imperial Palace through the connection between Xianghuo Taomu and Zhengshen.

After a moment, a stream of light fell from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Mu.

"Xuan Chengzi, what happened, did you call Pindao here in such a hurry?" Master Changkong asked.

"Please take a look at what this is, be careful, don't let it get into your body."

Zhao Mu said that he removed his divine power and handed the mist to Master Changkong.

Master Changkong wrapped it with mana and studied it carefully with the mist: "What a weird thing. This thing seems to be alive. How can I feel the life in it?"

"There is indeed life, but whether it is life or not is not yet known."

Zhao Mu frowned and said: "There is news from the clone. It seems that this thing can be spread from person to person. It feels a bit like...a disease?"

"disease?"

Master Changkong studied it again: "If you say it is a disease, it is definitely not an ordinary disease. Instead, it is more appropriate to say it is a plague, because it is highly contagious."

"Pindao can feel that it has been trying to get closer to you, as if it wants to enter your body."

"But the weird thing is, why does it seem to have no intention of getting close to Pindao? It seems to have no interest in Pindao. What's the difference between the two of us?"

"Is it because Pindao practices the incense and fire divine way, while you practice the immortal way?"

"No, that shouldn't be the reason."

Zhao Mu shook his head: "My avatar is not a living person in essence, but an illusion of peach tree branches. I have not practiced immortality, but this wisp of mist still entered the avatar's body."

"It can be seen that the way it chooses to spread its goals does not depend on what it is practiced."

"What's even weirder is that it seems to only affect people's minds, but has no effect on the physical body. If we talk about a plague, it is also a spiritual plague."

Master Changkong sighed: "It's a pity that the two of us haven't studied things like plague very deeply, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to figure out what this thing is."

Zhao Mu thought thoughtfully: "I do know someone who has researched this thing. Haha, it seems that I was right to keep him around. Now he can finally be put to use."

"Who are you talking about?"

Master Changkong asked curiously.

"An early enemy was defeated by me but not killed. I felt that I would be able to use him sooner or later, so I simply let him convert to Shinto."

"I have kept him in Hanhai Continent all these years. I think he can give us an answer to today's matter."

Zhao Mu smiled.
