I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 604: Chapter 331: An Unexpected Incident

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Mu and Ji Tianyong, the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ji Family, ascended the dueling platform.

The surrounding sounds abruptly halted, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Ji Tianyong drew the giant sword from his back, its blade emitting a sharp cold light, gathering the lethal intent of heaven and earth. His gaze was resolute and sharp, staring directly at Li Mu across from him.

Li Mu, expressionless, raised his hand, summoning five Tier Five Spirit Swords from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. They circled him, each emitting a unique Five Elements Spiritual Light, agile and sharp.

The two powerful auras collided, stirring an invisible storm, with the battle on the verge of erupting.

Before everyone’s eyes, Ji Tianyong initiated the attack first, swinging the giant sword in his hand, bringing a fierce gust of wind as he slashed toward Li Mu, releasing a sharp Sword Aura that instantly tore through the air, producing a shrill tearing sound, quick and urgent.

Li Mu’s eyes narrowed, and the five Flying Swords swiftly converged into a single Five Elements Giant Sword, transforming into a dazzling beam of light striking fiercely towards the Sword Aura.

With a ”boom,” like a thunderbolt erupting beside everyone’s ears, two massive forces collided brutally at the center of the dueling platform.

In that instant, the entire dueling platform seemed consumed by this force, and a powerful Sword Qi spread instantly, tearing the surrounding air apart.

On the platform, the figures of the two had already vanished, colliding like two meteors, each cross accompanied by rampant Sword Qi, each collision triggering intense energy fluctuations. These fluctuations, like waves, continuously spread to the surroundings, causing the spectators to feel waves of trepidation.

Although their speeds were as fast as lightning, each of their movements and techniques clearly reflected in the eyes of the audience, their Divine Thoughts like invisible tentacles tightly locked onto the subtle changes of the two on the dueling platform, ...

Just as everyone previously estimated, it could be said that the outcome was decided!

The Ji Family’s late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator’s strength was exceptional, with solid foundations. He also cultivated the core legacy spell of the Ji Family — the Profound Armor Treasure Manual. This cultivation technique was extremely profound, its True Essence robust. It was the ultimate skill upon which the Ji Family had built its fame, besides which, he had also mastered the renowned Overlord Sword Technique, an unparalleled swordsmanship; once unleashed, almost no one could withstand it.

Even so, Ji Tianyong appeared somewhat powerless when facing Li Mu.

This does not imply that Ji Tianya is not strong enough, quite the contrary, his strength and talent left a profound impression on the crowd present. His cultivation has reached the peak of late-stage Nascent Soul, just a step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm, even when facing ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivators, he has a great chance of leapfrogging to win.

Yet, his opponent is Li Mu, a rival with unfathomable power.

In the cultivation realm, the importance of cultivation techniques is self-evident. Different techniques possess diverse characteristics and effects, and the ancient Five Elements Technique Li Mu cultivated is unmistakably a paramountly profound and powerful cultivation technique.

The Five Elements Technique emphasizes Yin and Yang mutual aid, nurturing and overcoming each other. When cultivated to perfection, its power is virtually infinite. It requires cultivators to master the Power of the Five Elements, namely the five forces of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and fuse them seamlessly, wielding them at will. The powers of the Five Laws each have their wondrous uses, complementing one another. Once one can masterfully wield them, it can unleash earth-shattering might.

However, cultivating this technique is no easy feat. Simultaneous cultivation of the Five Elements signifies a cultivator possesses all Five Elements Spirit Roots, mastering five kinds of mana, not only demanding a vast amount of resources and time but also extremely high talent and enlightenment. Even in the resource-abundant ancient times, those who successfully cultivated this technique were very few.

Now, times have changed. Compared to the ancient times, today’s spiritual power resources are far inferior, yet the number of cultivators has drastically increased. The competition for auxiliary cultivation materials and cultivation resources has become increasingly intense, making cultivation more challenging.

Under such circumstances, even those born into Immortal Sects or prominent cultivation families seldom choose the path of simultaneous cultivation of the Five Elements. Most opt to specialize in one or two laws. This approach not only ensures the security of cultivation resources but also accelerates cultivation speed.

The simultaneous cultivation of the Five Elements demands enormous time and resources, and the risk is equally high. If a cultivator’s lifespan exhausts before a realm breakthrough, they may face life-threatening danger.

Nevertheless, Li Mu embarked on a distinctive path. Not only did he cultivate the Five Elements Technique, within a century he had already broken through the Nascent Soul Realm. Such aptitude is truly beyond what ordinary people can achieve!

Moreover, Li Mu has cultivated this Five Elements Technique to a mastery level, whose understanding of the Power of the Five Elements has surpassed ordinary people. He can perfectly merge the five forces together, creating astonishing power!

On the dueling platform, the battle between Li Mu and Ji Tianyong has reached a fever pitch. Their figures criss-crossed in mid-air, Sword Qi rampant, energy fluctuations rising and falling incessantly.

Li Mu’s Five Elements True Essence was incomparably thick, his attacks as fierce as a raging storm at times, while at others, as delicate as needle hidden in cotton. The Five Elements Escape Technique was used at will, pressuring Ji Tianyong who struggled to respond.

Relying solely on his adept use of the Five Elements Escape Technique, Li Mu was already in an undefeatable position.

What’s more astonishing is that Li Mu not only possesses abundant Five Elements True Essence, but his Divine Thought and swordsmanship are also incredibly strong. His Divine Thought is so powerful that it can easily perceive his opponent’s weaknesses, evade with ease, and his swordsmanship prowess is superb, able to effortlessly nullify Ji Tianyong’s attacks while launching swift counterattacks.
