I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 359: Chapter 221: Challenging the Cultivators (Part 1)

The Nine-Nine Transformation Thunder Tribulation, formidable in its momentum, affects a range of hundreds of miles. Nearby weaker demon creatures all instinctively avoid it, while some high-tier demon beasts, Nascent Soul cultivators, and Divinity Transformation cultivators, instead of retreating, advance towards it, drawn by the mighty thunder tribulation.

They quickly gather around the thunder tribulation, observing the situation of the tribulation crosser from the outskirts.

If the tribulation crosser fails and dies under the thunder tribulation, it will be the start of a grand feast.

Should the tribulation crosser successfully cross the tribulation, it is also the time when their strength is at its weakest. There are benefits to be gained, so when Tribulation Crossing cultivators choose a location, they either rely on sects or family forces for protection or venture into remote areas.

Today, this tribulation crosser is in the core area of the Desolate Ancient Plain, a domain where many Nascent Soul cultivators and Divinity Transformation cultivators hunt high-tier demon beasts and explore high-tier spiritual objects. The thunder tribulation’s immense commotion naturally draws everyone’s attention.

Sharp sword lights rapidly fly in from all directions; each sword light represents a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and there are even a few Divinity Transformation cultivators.

”Oh! It’s actually a spirit insect undergoing the Transformation Tribulation, how rare indeed!” A Divinity Transformation cultivator dressed brightly and arriving via Sky Control exclaimed in surprise.

”Elder Shanggong, the scale and power of this thunder tribulation are extraordinary. Do you recognize what kind of thunder tribulation it is?” Another late-stage Nascent Soul young cultivator, riding a cyan spiritual ship, curiously asked.

”It is the most difficult Nine-Nine God-Destroying Tribulation. I don’t know what kind of heavenly wrath or grievance this spirit insect has caused, or what kind of talent it possesses, to conjure such a thunder tribulation!” Shanggong Hong glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivator and explained.

After speaking, Shanggong Hong noticed several figures flying towards them.

”Elder Li, you’ve come too!” The Nascent Soul youth—Nangong Feiyu greeted a Divinity Transformation elder in a red robe, riding a wine gourd.

”Nangong Kid, Shanggong Old Ghost, you’re everywhere!”

”Ha! What a crowd, Ning Daoist, Elder Shanggong, all old acquaintances!”

”...”

The four Divinity Transformation cultivators gathered together, chatting while keeping an eye on the tribulation-crossing spirit insect, because of the Nine-Nine God-Destroying Tribulation, none dared to use their divine sense to examine the specific situation of the tribulation-crossing spirit insect.

”Where did this spirit insect emerge from? Do any of you recognize it?” A Divinity Transformation Daoist in a blue dao robe suddenly asked the three Divinity Transformation cultivators.

”Never seen it before. A spirit insect managing to appear like this is incredibly rare!” Shanggong Hong frowned and shook his head.

”This spirit pet should have advanced by consuming some spiritual object; its foundation is not strong, surely it will perish under the thunder tribulation!” The red-robed Divinity Transformation cultivator—Li Changkong speculated.

”This thunder tribulation is too fierce; I’m afraid there won’t be any relics left, in the end, it may be an empty joy!” The white-robed Divinity Transformation cultivator looked at the swift and mighty thunder tribulation, frowning.

”In that case, Fellow Daoist Wang, why not just leave!” Li Changkong looked at the white-robed elder, smilingly mocking.

”Haha, I have never seen a Tier Six Insect Spirit cross a tribulation, hoping to witness an eye-opener!” The white-robed elder stroked his beard with a smile in response.

...

Many Divinity Transformation cultivators gather together, watching the spirit insect under the thunder tribulation, speculating about the origin of the spirit insect, all awaiting a result.

”Esteemed elders, could this spirit insect have an owner? Look, that Nascent Soul cultivator nearby, and beside him, are two Tier Six Demon Beasts and two Tier Five Demon Beasts!” Nangong Feiyu pointed out Li Mu near the thunder tribulation, as well as his four demon beasts, reminding them.

Upon hearing this, the four Divinity Transformation cultivators, engaged in heated discussion, were all momentarily stunned.

”Impossible! That is a Tier Six Insect Spirit undergoing the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, how could a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator possess such a spiritual object?” The red-robed Divinity Transformation cultivator—Li Changkong’s face darkened.

”Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators indeed cannot, however, that kid controlling four incredibly talented high-tier demon beasts with extraordinary beast taming abilities might indeed be able to possess a Tier Six Insect Spirit!” The white-robed elder stroked his beard gently, indicating.

Upon hearing this, Shanggong Hong and Ning Daoist exchanged glances and couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Just as Wang Wuchen said, that Nascent Soul Realm kid, able to simultaneously control two Tier Six demon beasts and two Tier Five demon beasts, has a high possibility of controlling a Tier Six Insect Spirit as well.

As the many Divinity Transformation cultivators assessed him, Li Mu seemed aware of it and frowned slightly.

”Master, those people are scheming and may pose a threat to Xiaobai, should I go and send them away!” The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape noticed Li Mu’s gaze and quickly suggested.

”Exactly, several Divinity Transformation cultivators dare plot against Xiaobai. Master, let me drive them away!” The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon said eagerly with fierce eyes.

After consuming the Blood Purifying Reishi, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s bloodline purity further refined, its strength surged immensely. Earlier, when confronting the Tier Six Red-Eared Demon Monkey, it captured it effortlessly. Facing four human Divinity Transformation cultivators now, it fears nothing.

For one, there are Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape, Xiaojin, and Xiaowa, these few helpers, and secondly, Li Mu being the sturdy support, do not underestimate the master with his early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation; he can unleash and fight against two Divinity Transformation cultivators easily, overall, we hold the advantage here.

”Hmm! Come with me! Xiaojin, Xiaowa, stay behind and guard, Xiaobai is undergoing a critical phase of tribulation crossing, no disturbances are allowed.” Li Mu glanced at the four beast companions and instructed.
