I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 249: Chapter 174: Extreme Yang Celestial Fire

”Fellow Daoist Li, please follow me. Everyone else, please return for now. The Sect Master wishes to meet with Fellow Daoist Li,” Liu Changzai explained to the Nascent Soul True Monarchs, gesturing accordingly.

Upon hearing that the Sect Master wanted to personally meet Li Mu, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs immediately understood. After bidding farewell to Li Mu, they each took their leave.

”The Sect Master of your esteemed Sect wants to see me?”

Li Mu furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Liu Changzai in inquiry.

Liu Changzai’s decision to act first and report later left Li Mu somewhat displeased. He had accepted the invitation to visit the Spirit Taming Sect primarily for the Celestial Fire in the hands of Tianhong True Monarch and did not want to get involved in other matters.

The Spirit Taming Sect’s Sect Master suddenly wanting to see him personally was somewhat troubling, and it seemed unavoidable.

Liu Changzai forced a smile, sensing Li Mu’s wariness, and quickly explained with bowed hands, ”Fellow Daoist Li, please don’t misunderstand. The Sect Master has been in seclusion and was unaware that you would be visiting our Sect as a guest.”

After a brief pause, Liu Changzai continued, ”Our Sect Protection Array is always under the Sect Master’s control. When an unfamiliar high-tier cultivator enters the Sect, he naturally becomes aware. He contacted me via a Communication Flying Sword to inquire about your background. After I informed him about you, he insisted on meeting you personally. I hope Fellow Daoist Li can understand.”

Liu Changzai earnestly explained, hoping Li Mu would understand and agree to meet with their Sect Master.

Li Mu hesitated with furrowed brows before making a decision.

”No matter! Fellow Daoist Liu, lead the way!” Li Mu nodded in agreement.

Liu Changzai smiled with delight, flew ahead, and continued to lead the way.

Soon, Liu Changzai led Li Mu to fly into an aerial palace that floated above the peak of a Spirit Peak.

Upon approaching, Li Mu finally noticed that this palace was situated atop a gigantic Spirit Turtle.

So this is the secret to the floating architecture of the Spirit Taming Sect?

It was actually a Tier Six Spinning Spirit Rock Turtle, with a body length of over a thousand meters, massive in size, resting motionlessly on the Spirit Peak with its eyes closed, inhaling and exhaling whirlwinds of Spirit Mist, exuding tremendous momentum.

Even before reaching the palace atop the Mystic Turtle, Li Mu sensed a powerful Divine Thought sweeping over him, clearly from the Divinity Transformation powerhouse of the Spirit Taming Sect observing him.

Li Mu’s expression remained calm, showing no reaction.

With Liu Changzai leading the way, Li Mu descended onto the palace atop the gigantic Spirit Turtle, landing on the plaza of a majestic grand hall.

Entering the grand hall, Li Mu immediately sensed a tremendous change in the surrounding spiritual energy. This building must have a special High-Tier Spiritual Domain Array, with only Fire Element Spirit Qi and Thunder Element Spiritual Qi in the air, incredibly dense, while other attribute spiritual powers seemed excluded.

If a cultivator with a Fire Spirit Root or Thunder Spirit Root were to cultivate here, they would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Affected by this spiritual power environment, the Fire Spiritual Power within Li Mu’s body also seemed restless. Undoubtedly, this place must be a cultivation ground opened up by the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Spirit Taming Sect.

”Fellow Daoist Li, we’ve arrived! The Sect Master is inside, please proceed!” Liu Changzai gestured invitingly, respectfully inviting Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded with pleasure, lightly extending his ’Hidden Star’ Divine Thought, and finding nothing unusual, stepped into the grand hall.

The grand hall was solemn and majestic, filled with a sense of history. On the Sect Master’s throne sat a man clad in a Blue Gold Robe, with thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes, exuding powerful aura, possessing a Divinity Transformation Initial Stage cultivation.

Seeing Li Mu’s arrival, he immediately rose to greet him.

”’Sword Immortal Li’, I am Lei Hong, the Sovereign of the Spirit Taming Sect. I’ve long admired your famous name!” Venerable Lei Hong stepped forward, enthusiastically welcoming Li Mu.

Venerable Lei Hong’s laughter was hearty, his attitude enthusiastic, and he did not diminish his respect despite Li Mu only having a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

Under renowned reputation, there are no hollow people. This ’Sword Immortal Li’ in front of him was a prodigious genius who could challenge Divinity Transformation powerhouses. He must not be treated as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

In terms of strength, to already be able to kill Divinity Transformation powerhouses at the Nascent Soul Stage, possessing such extraordinary talent, to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm, promote to Refining Void, achieve Integration, and aim for Mahayana cultivation, should not be a difficult task.

Once he achieves Divinity Transformation, he nearly becomes unrivaled among those in the same tier.

Not to mention, ’Sword Immortal Li’ is not only exceptional in cultivation talent and potential but also has notable achievements in the Hundred Cultivation Arts, particularly in Artifact Refining. This warrants Venerable Lei Hong lowering his stature and treating him with courtesy.

Venerable Lei Hong already considered Li Mu on equal footing, without a trace of neglect.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Lei Hong was so enthusiastic right upon meeting him. Li Mu, flattered by the praise, humbly waved his hand in response, ”Elder Lei, you’re too kind! I dare not bear the title of ’Sword Immortal Li’. Please, Elder Lei, do not address me as such!”

”Haha, alright! Let’s treat each other as peers. You need not call me Elder either!” Venerable Lei Hong laughed heartily, accepting Li Mu’s ’advice’.

”Alright! Alright, as long as you don’t call me ’Sword Immortal Li’, everything is fine!” Li Mu nodded quickly, gladly accepting Venerable Lei Hong’s request.

”Very well! Fellow Daoist Li, please take a seat! Let’s go inside and talk in detail.” Venerable Lei Hong, with a bold and forthright character, gave a hearty laugh, gesturing invitingly towards the position reserved for distinguished guests, warmly inviting Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded with pleasure and entered the hall to take his seat.

Li Mu sat on an empty chair, in front of which was a table laden with various High-Tier Spirit Fruits, Spirit Wine, and various delicacies from the Demon Beast Meat Shop, exuding a rich aroma, sumptuously prepared, likely prepared in advance by Venerable Lei Hong’s disciples as a lavish spiritual cuisine to entertain guests.

Soon, under the enthusiastic hospitality of Venerable Lei Hong, Li Mu raised a cup and enjoyed a toast of Spirit Wine with him, exchanging compliments with each other.
