I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 293: Chapter 191: Celestial Essence Battleship (Part 2)

”Doesn’t the banner say it? It’s the Kun Family, one of the Eight Great Cultivation Clans of Central State. Fellow Daoist, don’t you know about the Kun Family?” Elder Wan Ling chuckled, introducing with a hint of surprise.

”I hail from the South Spirit Remote Realm and am unaware of the Eight Great Cultivation Clans of Central State. I’ve never seen such a high-tier Spirit Ship just docked by the seaside,” Li Mu explained with a smile, enviously.

”Isn’t it just because they’re wealthy and unchecked! The Kun Family has a good relationship with the Saints and Elders of the various Immortal Sects of Central State. They primarily deal in refining minerals of the Central State Spirit Realm, with industries spread across all counties of Central State, their power is extremely strong!” Elder Wan Ling introduced with a slightly sour tone.

Li Mu finally understood why the other party was so arrogant; the Kun Family indeed had the capital to be so, and the life of a mere wilderness Nascent Soul cultivator probably wouldn’t even catch their attention.

”Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for clearing my doubts. I have no more questions!” Li Mu cupped his hands and thanked, bidding farewell.

Elder Wan Ling nodded and then left with his Dao partner.

Li Mu controlled his sword and flew towards the deeper parts of the Star Gazing Sea.

The vast ocean stretched endlessly, waves roaring,

Various forms of Spirit Fish Swarms darted swiftly through the seabed, a grand scene. The seabed was even more spectacular, with all kinds of bizarre ocean life, colorful and radiant.

Some low-tier Fish Demons gathered together, but upon discovering the human cultivator speeding above, they scattered and disappeared without a trace.

”Strange, why are there low-tier Fish Demons everywhere and no high-tier Sea Beasts?” Li Mu was slightly puzzled, as the Spirit Fish Swarms and Fish Demon Groups he encountered so far had powers no more than Tier Three.

Li Mu propelled his Water Spiritual Power with full force, moving through the water like a fish, and could burst with incredible speed even without the aid of a Water Spirit Sword.

After a stick of incense’s time, Li Mu did not know how far he had traveled with Water Escape; he hadn’t encountered any formidable high-tier Demon Beasts, mostly Tier Two and Three, which was very peculiar and entirely different from the treacherous and unpredictable sea realm he imagined.

Just as Li Mu was pondering, suddenly, intense True Essence fluctuations emerged ahead, tumbling the surrounding seawater.

Li Mu’s eyes narrowed as he summoned his Water-type Top-Grade Spirit Sword, its blade swirling out Sword Aura, slicing through the surging waves.

As the waves receded, a colossal Eight-Clawed Demon King about seven to eight zhang tall appeared ahead, swinging its eight arms furiously, furiously pursuing three human cultivators.

The three cultivators consisted of two late-stage Nascent Soul practitioners and one Golden Core Peak practitioner.

The two late-stage Nascent Soul practitioners had grim expressions, countering the Eight-Clawed Demon King with magical treasures as they fled.

One of them, wielding a Golden Saber, slashed sharp Saber Aura toward the eight arms while using the other hand to hold and protect the blood-drenched Golden Core cultivator as they retreated while fighting.

The other used his ten fingers to form seals, causing an Ancient Compass above his head to spin, emitting beams of light that shot forward.

The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs exerted nearly all their strength, but their abilities were impeded in the sea realm, unable to unleash more than seventy percent of their power.

What seemed like a thunderbolt was, however, blocked entirely by the Sea Demon’s eight swinging arms.

Facing a Tier Five Peak Demon King, it was only a matter of time before these two would fall.

The battle caused the sea within a radius of ten kilometers to be thrown into chaos, and it gradually shifted towards Li Mu’s direction.

Li Mu frowned slightly, realizing that the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs had obviously noticed him and were deliberately luring the Demon Beast towards him.

They clearly intended for him to take the disaster on their behalf, allowing them to escape.

No matter the reason, Li Mu’s expression darkened, and he immediately fled at an even faster speed, refusing to give them any chance to catch up.

Li Mu had come to the Star Gazing Sea with one purpose: to find and subdue the Tier Six Flood Dragon, not to court more trouble.

He immediately performed Water Escape, his figure swiftly fleeing, leaving them only with a growingly distant silhouette.

”Fellow Daoist ahead, please wait, please wait!”

Seeing Li Mu dash away like the wind, the two Nascent Soul cultivators immediately shouted anxiously, their voices transmitted far by their robust Spirit Essence.

Li Mu heard but pretended not to, continually increasing his speed, moving further and further away.

The protected Golden Core cultivator shouted loudly, ”Senior, please stop for a moment. I am the eldest grandson and direct descendant of the Central State Kun Family. If Fellow Daoist saves my life, the Kun Family will surely remember your kindness, and I am willing to gift a high-tier spiritual object to Fellow Daoist, I absolutely won’t go back on my word!”

Central State Kun Family?

What are people from the Central State doing here?

Wait, the Kun Family?

Isn’t that the gigantic Spirit Ship docked at the Bihai City port?

Knowing they were from the Kun Family, Li Mu had even less reason to help them and disappeared on the sea surface without looking back.

”What!”

The three were dumbfounded, unable to believe, after revealing their identities, that person would still ignore them and instead run even faster!

In Central State, among the Eight Great Clans and in the Central State Spirit Realm, they were universally known and many Sects and small forces were eager to curry favor,

Yet unexpectedly, in this remote place, they were despised by a Nascent Soul cultivator, which made them exceedingly furious. However, in the given moment, they could no longer care about anything else, having failed to shift the danger, they could only search for another way out.

Li Mu continued navigating through the sea while remaining vigilant behind him, but after traversing about a hundred kilometers of sea, aside from encountering the Eight-Clawed Demon King earlier,

he did not come across any notable Sea Demon.

The anomaly made him stop and scan with his Divine Sense frantically, yet found that the highest cultivation in this sea area was merely a Tier Four Sea Eel Demon Beast.

Strange!

He was now in deep sea territory, where it made no sense for the Sea Demons encountered to be so weak.

Could it be that an allied force of cultivators from the city had already swept this sea area clean?
