I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 581 - 320: Combat Power Mobilization

The Earth Element Spirit Ship sped swiftly through the air and soon reached Crescent Island.

Li Mu put away the Earth Element Spirit Ship, set down the Cyan Jade Ginseng King and others, then, with Xiaojin and Xiaowa, made a slight disguise and piloted the Spiritual Ship back to Ten Thousand Stars Island, reaching Li’s Treasure Tower smoothly!

"Lord Li, where did you go? You scared me to death; I thought you were going to leave me behind and not come back!"

Seeing Li Mu and Xiaojin and others return safely, Xue’Er couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She nervously grabbed Li Mu’s arm, speaking with worry.

"Silly girl, how could I leave you behind if I were leaving? Don’t let your imagination run wild, Qing Yue just crossed the Thunder Tribulation, and we went to attend and support." Li Mu patted Xue’Er’s shoulder with a smile, reassuring her.

"That’s right! Brother Qing Yue successfully crossed the seventh-tier Thunder Tribulation, and now he can transform; his transformed form is so cool!" Xiaojin said with genuine envy.

"Hmm!" Xiaowa grunted an agreement, eyes showing envy as well.

"Great! Brother Qing Yue’s successful tribulation crossing is such a strong boost; Lord Li, you need not worry anymore, right?"

Xue’Er’s eyes lit up, looking at Li Mu with delight and concern.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu paused slightly, understanding that Xue’Er had noticed his worries during this time and had been silently concerned!

Li Mu casually smiled and nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, with Qing Yue’s successful tribulation crossing, I am much relieved and have a stronger power guarantee; I can truly breathe easier. Let’s continue business!"

Li Mu decided to remain in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, and if the Ji Family sought them out, he would figure out a way to deal with it. For now, it’s crucial to raise his cultivation to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Soon, Li’s Treasure Tower reopened for business. Disguised as a Spirit Appraiser, Li Mu guarded the shop, returning to Crescent Island every half month or so to tend to two Yin Yang Spirit Plants, guide some beasts in Spirit Taming, and engage in Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Alchemy, and Puppet Creation.

Time flies like an arrow; in Li Mu’s dedicated cultivation and busy days, three months passed quietly.

Li’s Treasure Tower stood tall in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, enjoying thriving business and growing reputation. Li Mu gradually released his inner worries, delightfully busy every day, living a calm yet fulfilling life.

However, such peaceful days were doomed not to last long!

At this time, in the South Wilderness Domain, a giant city standing atop the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range was trampled by an army made up of countless blood-colored demon beasts. The tawny gold city walls collapsed, and numerous buildings located between the two giant Spirit Mountain passageways were utterly destroyed. Giant Spirit Cannons, Giant Long Crossbows, and various powerful Spiritual Weapons turned into scrap, scattered chaotically across the battlefield, ...

In the sky, blood-colored Demon Birds that blotted out the sun surrounded various giant Spiritual Ships, Tier Four Soaring Spirit Ships, Tier Five Thunder Spirit Ships, Tier Four Flame Spirit Ships, Tier Five Giant Spirit Spirit Ships, ... and so on, from all directions. Tens of thousands of Human Race Cultivators were routed under the siege of countless blood-colored demon beasts.

...

A month passed.

In the Central State Domain, at the old residence of the Ji Family, one of the Eight Great Cultivation Clans, Clan Leader Ji - Ji Zhantian, convened a meeting of the Elder Council in the solemn Elder’s Hall, where the atmosphere was heavy with tension.

"The unfortunate news from the South Wilderness Battlefield, the Nine Demons Sect has opened a rift in the Abyssal Passage, releasing Abyssal entities - the Blood Demon Race, controlling countless Low-Tier Demon Race to form an army, broke through Demon Suppression City, ...."

"Despite the joint efforts of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect’s coalition forces, they still cannot curb the Blood Demon Race and Demon Race’s combined army, ....!"

"The coalition suffered heavy losses at the frontline in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm and cannot maintain their ground, retreating to the first line of defense, ... now, with the first rift of the Abyssal Passage already open, a second rift will soon follow; if we cannot effectively prevent the situation from worsening, the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, even the entire Central State Spirit Realm, and the current realm will be drawn into this great war!"

Ji Zhantian’s face was somber as he surveyed the Ji Family elders, his voice low and heavy, introducing the latest frontline battle report, each word full of gravity and concern.

"What’s the current situation with that batch of coalition forces from the Taiyi Sect?"

"Clan Leader, do you mean we should deploy our main forces?"

"Has the situation become so severe already? Why doesn’t the Taiyi Sect’s Daoist Monarch step out? What’s their stance?"

"..."

Upon hearing such grave intelligence from Ji Zhantian, the elders were visibly shocked, nervously questioning in succession.

Understanding the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the cold, they were not ignorant. However, when it came to issues concerning their own interests and safety, the elders of the Ji Family collectively thought about how to avoid taking on this responsibility.

"We patriarchs have already had a talk with the two Sect Masters of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect; both sects’ Daoist Monarchs are preoccupied with affairs in the Outer Realm and cannot spare time to address the rift issue in the South Wilderness now. Currently, the coalition in the South Wilderness Domain is preparing to regroup in the vicinity of the Celestial Pillar Peak, and the two Great Immortal Sects will continue to send main forces there."

Ji Zhantian looked at the elders and continued to explain.

The elders’ eyes slightly lit up, though they clearly expected further arrangements from the Eight Great Clans. They silently watched Ji Zhantian, waiting for him to speak further.

"If the rift in the Abyssal Passage continues to widen, ultimately leading to the complete release of the Abyssal Passage seal, the consequences will be unimaginable. Additionally, without the presence of the Nine Demons Sect, the rift wouldn’t have expanded to such an extent." Ji Zhantian continued as he glanced at the elders.
