I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 829: Chapter 438: Demon Trace Revealed (Part 2)

”Hmm, that’s the only way! Your sect’s Spiritual Land is quite extraordinary, could you possibly allow me to witness the scenery of your sect?”

’Ji Wuheng’ felt a stir in his heart and suddenly suggested to Tianyan Divine Monarch.

Bu Mie Demon Lord hoped to find clues to Li Mu’s secluded location through a tour of Seven Profound Sect.

Tianyan Divine Monarch did not think twice and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Thus, the two of them walked side by side out of the Sect Leader’s Mansion, previewing several of the sect’s main peaks. Along the way, Tianyan Divine Monarch provided a detailed introduction of the sect’s main peaks and browsed the sect’s architectural structures.

’Ji Wuheng,’ however, was not interested in this; he secretly kept using his Divine Thought to scan the surroundings, trying to find clues about Li Mu’s secluded location.

However, Bu Mie Demon Lord did not discover the whereabouts of Li Mu’s real body; instead, he found his seven Divinity Transformation Avatars sitting on the seven main peaks of Seven Profound Sect, taking care of patches of Spirit Field.

Bu Mie Demon Lord furrowed his brows, feeling extremely surprised at Li Mu for refining seven Divinity Transformation Avatars, his intention to kill him intensified.

One must know that refining Divinity Transformation Avatars is extremely difficult, each requires a lot of effort and resources, yet Li Mu could refine seven, which clearly indicates his cultivation technique is extraordinary.

Moreover, these seven Divinity Transformation Avatars were arranged on the seven main peaks, full of Spiritual Energy, capable of independently guarding the Spirit Field, without any signs of chaos, a feat that made Bu Mie Demon Lord very wary.

Divinity Transformation Avatar is the foundation upon which Void Refining cultivators congeal their Dharma Realm; being able to refine one at the Divinity Transformation Stage indicates one’s Divine Thought is incredibly strong, nearly touching the secrets of the Void Refining Realm at the late stage.

However, Li Mu’s ability to refine seven Avatars simultaneously further indicates that the strength of his Divine Thought has far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, reaching seven times more, or even beyond.

He initially thought that if he could find Li Mu’s secluded location, he might have a chance for a lethal strike, but now it seems Li Mu has gone to the Spiritual Land of Profound Celestial Sword Sect for seclusion, not in Seven Profound Sect, leaving Bu Mie Demon Lord with some regret.

Eliminate Li Mu’s seven Divinity Transformation Avatars?

No!

That would be foolish, alarming him prematurely!

Several thoughts flashed through Bu Mie Demon Lord’s mind; he took a deep breath, suppressing this thought.

A more comprehensive plan must be devised, not only to find Li Mu’s real body but also to ensure a fatal strike when the time comes, leaving no room for him to react.

Seeing ’Ji Wuheng’ lost in thought, without any interest in browsing the sect’s scenery.

Tianyan Divine Monarch’s face flashed a moment of doubt and then vanished, smiling as he proposed to ’Ji Wuheng’: ”’Elder Ji,’ the tour of our sect’s important places is almost complete. Next, let me take you to our sect’s Scripture Pavilion, where precious methods accumulated over thousands of years are stored, which may offer you some insights.”

”Scripture Pavilion, let’s discuss it next time! Since Sect Master Li is still in seclusion, I will visit again when he comes out. Please ensure your colleague informs me promptly!” ’Ji Wuheng’ bid farewell with a cupped fist salute, maintaining a calm facade, though his heart was somewhat frustrated.

This visit to Seven Profound Sect had not achieved its real purpose but having discovered Li Mu’s secret, it was nonetheless valuable.

Tianyan Divine Monarch, seeing ’Ji Wuheng’ insist, couldn’t force the issue, simply nodding in agreement: ”Since Elder Ji has matters at hand, I won’t insist further; once Sect Master Li comes out, I will immediately send someone to notify you.”

’Ji Wuheng’ once again cupped his fists in thanks, swiftly controlling his departure.

Tianyan Divine Monarch watched ’Ji Wuheng’s’ leaving figure, a trace of persistent doubt flashed in his eyes, then he pondered it was nothing, putting the matter aside.

However, subsequently, ’Ji Wuheng’ frequently visited, deliberately befriending him, exploring Li Mu’s seclusion situation, and its location, which stirred Tianyan Divine Monarch’s vigilance.

Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Tianyan Divine Monarch informed Li Mu of ’Ji Wuheng’s’ actions.

”Oh! ’Ji Wuheng,’ I have met this person before, and the experience wasn’t pleasant. Is the Ji Family so anxious to refine Daoist Soldiers?”

Upon listening to Tianyan Divine Monarch’s recount, Li Mu recalled with a hint of retrospective emotion. Years ago, he killed Venerable Kumu of the Ji Family, offending them, and later Ji Wuheng settled it with him.

Li Mu remembered this person quite well, hesitating whether to see him or not.

”The ranking of the Eight Great Clans commissioning Daoist Soldier refinement has been released, and the Ji Family ranks fourth; reasonably, they shouldn’t be so anxious!” Tianyan Divine Monarch furrowed his brows, then recalled something, voicing doubts: ”Initially meeting this Elder Ji, I seemed to sense a terrifying hint of murderous intent from him, which vanished quickly though.”

Upon hearing, Li Mu’s expression turned stern, his nerves instantly taut.

According to Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, and others’ frontline intelligence, they were already besieging the Sealed Land, yet Bu Mie Demon Lord had not shown up, urging him not to act recklessly.

During this time, Ji Wuheng suddenly visited Seven Profound Sect in haste to claim Daoist Soldiers, causing an ominous premonition to rise within Li Mu.

”Did you show him around our sect?” Li Mu inquired Tianyan Divine Monarch about the specifics of hosting ’Ji Wuheng’.

”Indeed! He seemed to be exploring the sect master’s secluded spot, intentionally or otherwise.” Tianyan Divine Monarch keenly observed and reported.

Li Mu frowned, sensing unease sharply, realizing that his seven Divinity Transformation Avatars hiding within the seven main peaks had likely been exposed.

Li Mu pondered deeply, going long without responding to Tianyan Divine Monarch.

”Sect Master, does this person pose a threat?” Tianyan Divine Monarch, observing Li Mu’s solemn expression, asked with concern.

Li Mu looked up at Tianyan Divine Monarch, replying: ”Not certain yet, but if Ji Wuheng comes again, pay a bit of attention while dealing with him; I suspect he may not be simply seeking Daoist Soldiers, but might have another purpose.”

Hearing this, Tianyan Divine Monarch was slightly stunned, looking at Li Mu, surprised, asking: ”Sect Master, do you mean that this ’Elder Ji’ has malintent towards you?”

”Quite possibly, I suspect he is connected with Bu Mie Demon Lord.” Li Mu nodded, explaining.

”Bu Mie Demon Lord, a Integration Realm Demon Cultivator, that’s incredibly dangerous!” Upon hearing this name, Tianyan Divine Monarch’s expression sank, and he couldn’t help but worry.

”Indeed, did he mention when he’ll next come? If you’re unable to handle it, I’ll have Elder Qiu pay a visit and personally meet him with a Puppet Body to see what he’s up to.” Li Mu’s eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, speaking in a deep voice.

Tianyan Divine Monarch furrowed his brows, responded: ”Ji Wuheng did not mention when he’d come next, but he seemed quite eager; perhaps he won’t wait long, I’ll monitor his movements, and notify you immediately if he acts.”

Upon hearing, Li Mu frowned and contemplated. Waiting passively for ’Ji Wuheng’ to visit was too passive; this unfavorable situation had to change.

”There is no reasoning in guarding against a thief for a thousand days, notify him in a month, saying I’ve come out of seclusion, inviting him for a meeting.” Li Mu thought brief, rejected Tianyan Divine Monarch’s proposal, arranging so.

After listening, Tianyan Divine Monarch’s eyes flashed a trace of appreciation, nodding in agreement: ”Alright, Sect Master, I’ll arrange it right away.”

With Tianyan Divine Monarch’s departure, Li Mu appeared in Puppet Body, carrying the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, controlling his sword to head towards Profound Celestial Sword Sect- Contribution Hall, to seek assistance from Elder Qiu.

”Elder Qiu, I have a request.” Li Mu entered Contribution Hall and went directly to Qiu Yuanhong, speaking bluntly.

”Elder Li, what do you need my help with? Feel free to speak.” Qiu Yuanhong responded warmly. Li Mu, as the sect’s Supreme Elder, was highly respected for his ability to refine Daoist Soldiers throughout Profound Celestial Sword Sect, and if in need, he would certainly be offered full support.

Li Mu recounted the events in detail, expressing his concerns and plans: ”This ’Ji Wuheng’ is very likely related to Bu Mie Demon Lord; now that he’s come to us, it certainly won’t be simple. I hope Elder Qiu can assist me in meeting this Ji Wuheng, to see what his real intentions are.”

Qiu Yuanhong listened, furrowing his brow, and spoke solemnly: ”Bu Mie Demon Lord is indeed a tricky figure, I will think if there’s anyone in the sect who can cope with him.”
