I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 386: Chapter 234: Return to the Kun Family (Part 3)

Tianshang Supreme said so, and the three powerful figures in the Divinity Transformation Realm dared not delay, and personally presided over the Teleportation Grand Array.

Li Mu watched all this and couldn’t help but praise Tianshang Supreme’s character.

Just like that, the three of them walked into the Teleportation Array. As the three in the Divinity Transformation Realm activated the Teleportation Grand Array, amidst a flash of light, the array opened, and the three people turned into a streak of light and disappeared within the array.

However, just as the three left, they failed to notice a purple-robed Nascent Soul True Monarch waiting in the distance among the Teleportation Array personnel, whose eyes flickered with a strange light.

He then picked up a Token and recorded the previous scene, which included the conversation between Tianshang Supreme and others.

......

Desolate Ancient City, Ji Family.

In a garden where birds sang and flowers bloomed, with beautiful scenery, a gentle sound of the zither echoed. Under the dense forest of flowering trees, Venerable Ji Yun sat beneath a banner, legs crossed, playing the zither strings.

The long fingers plucked the zither strings, and the pleasant sound of the zither added a touch of beauty to the scenery.

Just as a piece was about to end, the Jade Pendant on her waist vibrated slightly, disturbing her Heart Realm.

Venerable Ji Yun’s eyes tightened slightly with a hint of displeasure as she picked up the Jade Pendant, from which a message from a Ji Family disciple was transmitted.

”Liu Yun, why are you looking for me?”

Venerable Ji Yun asked into the Jade Pendant.

The Jade Pendant lay flat, its surface flickering to manifest the image of the disciple, who spoke in a low voice, ”Elder, I took the Teleportation Array at the Illusionary God Sect and unexpectedly encountered Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme here; they are heading to Celestial Luo City.”

”Celestial Luo City? Tianshang Supreme is also going?”

Upon hearing the name Venerable Kun Ling, Venerable Ji Yun couldn’t help but feel a sinking heart.

”Yes, Elder. I unintentionally ran into a few of them earlier and have already recorded their conversation; please take a look.” The Nascent Soul True Monarch quickly transmitted the situation at that time.

From the Jade Pendant gleamed a dim light, reflecting the interactions between Li Mu and the others, as well as their eventual departure.

”It’s him again...”

The image presented, and Venerable Ji Yun immediately recognized Li Mu’s silhouette, grinding her teeth in anger.

If not for pursuing this person’s treasure that day, she wouldn’t have been beaten brutally by Venerable Kun Ling and almost lost her life.

In her heart, a burst of rage involuntarily grew; as a proud Elder of the Ji Family, how could she endure such humiliation from a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch?

”Celestial Luo City, what are they going to do there?”

Even though Venerable Ji Yun’s anger was hard to dissipate, she was very curious as to why Celestial Luo City, located in the South Spirit Continent and a barren land, was their destination.

”Put down what you’re doing and go to the Celestial Secret Pavilion to inquire about the news. Report back promptly after learning the news.”

”Yes! Elder!”

The cultivators of the Ji Family dared not delay, taking the task and immediately heading to the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

An hour later.

In the garden, Venerable Ji Yun had lost all interest in playing the zither. Nowadays, Venerable Kun Ling, who had not been around for a century, seemed to capture her every move.

Fearing that the opponent would break through in cultivation at the brink of life and death and reach the Void Refining Realm, then she would have to enclose herself within the clan. Without reaching the Void Refining Realm, stepping out meant certain death.

Just as apprehension filled Venerable Ji Yun’s heart, the Jade Pendant vibrated, delivering a message.

”How is it? Any news?”

The virtual image from the Jade Pendant emerged; the previous Ji Family Nascent Soul True Monarch from Desolate God Dao said, ”Elder, the situation has been made clear. Tianshang obtained news about the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit twenty years ago, and the three are surely heading to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to seek the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit to aid Venerable Kun Ling in transcending the Void Refining Tribulation.”

Bang!

Venerable Ji Yun trembled all over upon hearing the news, feeling a chill rushing from the soles of her feet straight to her head.

The Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit is a divine remedy against the Heart Demon Tribulation. Once consumed, it can greatly reduce the harm of the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Once past the Heart Demon Tribulation, dealing with other Thunder Tribulations won’t be difficult for Venerable Kun Ling, and he will undoubtedly succeed in advancing to Void Refining.

At that time, if she encountered him again, the situation would be one of certain death. With Venerable Kun Ling’s hatred, he wouldn’t allow her to die simply; instead, she’d be tormented until her mind shattered, her body and soul perished.

At that moment, the news left Venerable Ji Yun panic-stricken. But just as she was losing her wits, her Jade Pendant transmitted new information: ”Elder, while purchasing the news, I also discovered information about the Nascent Soul True Monarch. The report is not yet confirmed, but according to the Celestial Secret Pavilion’s message, this person is likely the ’Sword Immortal Li,’ being pursued by Venerable Tianyin and others. He is an Elder of the Qing Xuan Sect, with unfathomable power capable of slaying Divinity Transformation Realm powers with Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation...”

The Ji Family disciple spoke at length about Li Mu, which did not go unnoticed by the perplexed Venerable Ji Yun as she realized Li Mu’s extraordinariness.

”So it was him...” Venerable Ji Yun finally recalled why the ’Li Mu,’ who was only in the Early Stage of Nascent Soul at that time, dared to linger deliberately, evidently preparing to counter a Nascent Soul Peak Wan Ling Daoist.

”Wait... I see, this old fellow... Hmph, I won’t let you have your way.” Skilled at observation and deduction, Venerable Ji Yun saw that Li Mu traveled with Venerable Kun Ling and others, and identified the other’s identity as well.

Although the Celestial Secret Pavilion hadn’t provided definitive information, given the situation, it’s highly likely that this person is indeed ’Sword Immortal Li’!

Venerable Ji Yun stepped on the Red Silk, flying towards the Inner Mansion of the Ji Family, reaching a beautifully scenic towering Spirit Mountain, piercing through the clouds, seemingly born atop the mist.

Around the Spirit Mountain, Immortal Cranes fluttered; only crane-type spirit beasts were present, with no other species. However, there were no Ji Family disciples around the Spirit Mountain, while on the summit, there was an ordinary house.

In front of the house, two Crane Demons at Tier Five Peak stood guard at the door, like protectors.

Venerable Ji Yun landed in front of the door, and the two crane demons, several meters tall, spread their large wings to block the door.

”Elder Ji Yun, my master is in cloistered meditation!”

The two Immortal Cranes spoke in unison, articulating human speech.

Venerable Ji Yun, however, had no time for these concerns and urged, ”Quickly inform Elder Kumu, there’s a major change in the Cangyuan Secret Realm; I need to discuss with the elder.”

Upon hearing her words, the two Crane Demons exchanged glances, and one nodded slightly, turning to enter the house.

”Elder Ji Yun, please wait a moment; my master will be out shortly.” The other Crane Demon respectfully indicated.

Venerable Ji Yun nodded slightly, waiting outside the door.

After about ten breaths, a calm voice sounded from inside the house, ”Ji Yun, come in.”

Venerable Ji Yun dared not delay, quickly stepping in, and soon arrived at the main hall.

In the main hall, a purple-robed elder with a gaunt face lay on a rattan chair, resting with closed eyes, and a Crane Demon stood nearby, flapping its wings to fan him.

”You said there is a change in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, what do you mean?” Venerable Kumu looked at Venerable Ji Yun, asking in a low voice.

”Grand Elder, do you recall when you saved me in my encounter with Kun Ling, concerning the Nascent Soul True Monarch with the Cyan Sword on his back?”

”I don’t remember! What does the Cangyuan Secret Realm have to do with him?” Venerable Kumu frowned slightly, asking unknowingly.

”That person’s identity is extraordinary, being ’Sword Immortal Li,’ who twice defeated the Nine Demons Sect’s schemes, saving the Qing Xuan Sect and the Spirit Taming Sect. Back in the Early Stage of Nascent Soul True Monarch, he slew Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable of the Nine Demons Sect, and Venerable Tianyun of the Independent Cultivator Alliance; his power is unfathomable and he is indeed a dragon among men.” Venerable Ji Yun hurriedly responded.

”Oh?” Venerable Kumu’s expression changed slightly, sitting up a bit.
