I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 834: Chapter 441: Bu Mie Demon God

After the great battle ended, Five Finger Peak, Linggu was a mess everywhere.

Li Mu dispelled the array and revealed himself in Linggu. He was filled with astonishment at the Profound Celestial Sword that had just streaked away. With only a hurried glimpse, he saw the Profound Celestial Sword’s attributes and was utterly shocked. He hadn’t expected the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to still possess such a foundation—worthy indeed of being the number one Sect in Central State.

”Sect Master Li, we’ve lived up to your trust! The Bu Mie Demon Lord has already been slain by us! Now, you can be at ease.” Yunyi looked at Li Mu with a bright smile, hinting as he spoke.

”Many thanks to the three Elders for personally taking action. If not for you subduing the Bu Mie Demon Lord, his scheme would certainly have succeeded.”

Li Mu sincerely thanked the three for saving his life. If not for them, being targeted by the Bu Mie Demon Lord of the Integration Stage, his fate was easy to imagine.

Yunyi gave a slight smile, cupping his hands in return. ”Elder Li, there’s no need for thanks. You refined Dao Swords for us first; for us to keep our promise and act on your behalf is only natural.”

Xiao Shuang nodded happily, speaking upright and firmly: ”Exterminating demons and defending the Righteous Dao is what we Righteous Sects ought to do. Elder Li, you need not take it to heart. This time, the Bu Mie Demon Lord actually managed to infiltrate the Eight Great Clans. His ambitions were immense. It was also thanks to Elder Li discovering the problem that we were able to behead this demon.”

”Exactly so. The greatest reason we could slay the Bu Mie Demon Lord this time was still Elder Li’s refined Dao Sword. Without the Dao Sword’s aid, even if we wanted to completely annihilate the Bu Mie Demon Lord, we might have the will but not the strength.”

Ning Cheng was extremely fond of the Blue Abyss Dao Sword refined by Li Mu; the battle just now had made him all the more aware of this sword’s might.

Even though the three spoke so, Li Mu still expressed his gratitude again. After all, maintaining a good relationship with three Integration Stage experts was absolutely nothing but beneficial.

After that, Yunyi, Xiao Shuang, and Ning Cheng took their leave to continue seclusion. Li Mu sat cross-legged within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, sinking into contemplation, plotting out his next moves.

The three Integration Stage Sword Cultivators, when fighting the Bu Mie Demon Lord who was likewise at the Integration Stage, actually could not win quickly—even with the blessing of a Tier Seven Dao Sword. The Bu Mie Demon Lord truly was not to be underestimated. Especially the Demon Arrival he displayed was terrifying to the extreme; even the three Integration Stage powerhouses were helpless for a time. If not for the Profound Celestial Sword’s intervention, what the outcome would have been was still unknown.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord was not even the strongest existence within the Demon Abyssal Forces. Above Demon Lords, there were existences like Demon Gods; unless a Daoist Monarch or Daoist Ancestor took action, they could not be opposed. If the Demon Abyssal Forces were allowed to break the passage seals and occupy the Spirit Realm, the terrifying consequences were imaginable.

Yet his current strength was still insufficient to sway the overall situation, unable to decide his own fate. Thinking of this, a seed was planted in Li Mu’s heart—to plant more Spirit Plants and think of every possible method to rapidly raise his strength.

However, Li Mu had never placed his safety on others. Even if Yunyi, Xiao Shuang, and Ning Cheng, three Integration Realm experts, were here, if earlier the Bu Mie Demon Lord had successfully approached him and suddenly struck, the three experts simply would not have had time to react. By the time they rushed over, he might already have gone completely cold.

One must have hard strength oneself when forging iron. Wanting to raise his Realm in a short time was clearly unrealistic. Therefore, the most important thing for Li Mu at present was to quickly settle the seven Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands and plant High-tier Spirit Plants.

Now that the Bu Mie Demon Lord had already died and his Dao was extinguished, Li Mu temporarily no longer faced a crisis. Next, it was time to free his hands and search out the remaining Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands.

...

Within the vast territory of the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range was hidden a stretch of Flame Mountain Range that inspired dread at a single glance. This place was not only a gathering ground of frenzied Fire Elemental Spiritual Power, but also the key node for the Demon Abyssal Forces’ invasion into the core of the Spirit Realm. Amid the encircling mountains, deep underground, there seemed to be a hidden unknown secret world.

In the heart of the Flame Mountain Range, a vast complex of palaces came into view. These palaces were built from some unknown black stone. Viewed from afar, they were pitch-black like ink, as if fused with the surrounding flames and rock, giving a sense of unreality—as though they did not truly exist in this Space, but were projections from another dimension.

At this moment, within the great hall, a solemn atmosphere hung overhead.

Countless figures were kneeling on the ground, all their gazes focused forward. The three kneeling at the very front were precisely the famed Shadow Demon Lord, Soul-devouring Demon Lord, and Blood Refining Demon Lord of the Demon Abyss—these three Integration Stage powerhouses whose mere existence was enough to make the entire South Wilderness Spirit Realm tremble. And behind them stood dozens of Demon Ancestors of the Void Refining Realm. Though their strength was not equal to the three Demon Lords, it was still not to be underestimated.

The Shadow Demon Lord, Soul-devouring Demon Lord, and Blood Refining Demon Lord—though their strength was slightly inferior to the legendary Bu Mie Demon Lord—were, as three of the Five Great Demon Lords of the Demon Abyss, naturally existences whose power had reached a level that others could only look up to.

Yet in the short span of a mere ten-plus years, the Five Great Demon Lords had in succession suffered grievous blows.

The most shocking among them was none other than the fall of the second-ranked Master of Blood Demons among the Five Great Demon Lords. Blood Demon Lord - Dana, relying on the Blood Demon Technique, was a peak expert skilled in eerie arts and Escape Techniques. Yet this top expert, when he penetrated the Central State Spirit Realm to seek out the locations of other seals, encountered Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect in the Extreme North Icefield’s Daoist Monarch’s Secret Realm—and was jointly cut down.

Immediately after, the Bu Mie Demon Lord again suffered heavy injuries at the hands of Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen. With no choice, he fled to the Central State Spirit Realm to nurture his body, seeking new seal clues, hoping to atone for his past failures.
