I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 841: Chapter 444: East Bordering Illusion Sea (Part 2)

The remaining Spirit Void Blessed Island is most likely where the Extreme Earth Realm Seal is located, Li Mu absolutely cannot miss it.

The spiritual lands of the seven extreme realms will be crucial for Li Mu’s future cultivation of high-tier spirit plants. These lands will bear his hope of ascending to higher realms. To Li Mu, they not only represent abundant resources but also serve as the cornerstone of his future Dao path.

Currently, all seven main peaks of the Seven Mystical Sect are planted with numerous Tier Five Spirit Plants. To nurture these spirit plants and ensure their rapid growth, not only a vast amount of Spirit Stones is needed, but also a large quantity of high-tier supporting spiritual materials. In just a few decades, Li Mu has spent an astronomical amount of Spirit Stones, nearly enough to satisfy the consumption of a medium-sized sect for a hundred years.

For nearly a hundred years, Li Mu has almost exhausted all his resources to acquire these high-tier supporting spiritual materials, investing his entire worth into this grand project.

It’s all thanks to Li Mu’s extraordinary ability—the ability to refine Tier Seven Dao Artifacts to earn Spirit Stones. It is this capability that enables Li Mu to continuously provide the needed nourishment for the spirit plants, ensuring their fast growth. Were it anyone else, they would probably be unable to sustain it for long.

However, as his cultivation advances, Li Mu’s needs continue to grow. Upon entering the Void Refining Realm, Tier Five Spirit Plants can no longer satisfy his requirements. He must cultivate Tier Six and Tier Seven Spirit Plants to attain Plant Spirit Attributes for rapid cultivation advancement.

But cultivating these Tier Six and Seven Spirit Plants requires an exorbitant amount of supporting growth spiritual materials, far beyond what Li Mu alone can bear.

This is when the importance of the Seven Great Extreme Spirit Lands comes to the fore. If spirit fields are developed on these extreme realm lands to cultivate these Tier Six and Seven Spirit Plants, not only will there be no need to spend on any supporting spiritual materials, but these lands are also highly suitable for the growth of high-tier spirit plants.

Thus, the seven extreme realm lands are crucial to Li Mu’s future Dao path, and essential for him to attain them, he must spare no effort in overcoming all obstacles to claim these remaining extreme realm lands.

Unable to persuade Li Mu, Tianyan Divine Monarch sighed and turned to support, offering blessings, ”Sect Master, you have always been thoughtful. Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t advise against it anymore. I wish for your safe journey and early return.”

Li Mu nodded and then soared into the sky, his figure gradually disappearing into the clouds.

As he watched Li Mu’s fleeting figure, Tianyan Divine Monarch’s face became somber, his brows furrowed, pondering something unknown.

Tianyan Divine Monarch looked up at the array pillars atop the seven main peaks of the Seven Mystical Sect. His expression turned eager, as if he had been anticipating something for a long time, preparing to execute some plan, but he seemed troubled by something, showing a look of difficulty.

Tianyan Divine Monarch closed his eyes, seemingly focusing all his mind, and began calculating with his hand. His five fingers kept sketching in the air as if drawing an invisible pattern, which shimmered slightly in the air, emitting a faint golden glow.

”This doesn’t seem right! Where is it!” Tianyan Divine Monarch muttered to himself, opened his eyes again, and his gaze shifted to the direction where Li Mu had vanished, showing a complex expression.

At this time, Li Mu was completely unaware of Tianyan Divine Monarch’s peculiarity.

After leaving the Seven Mystical Sect, Li Mu released the Earth Element Spirit Ship and began commanding it, rapidly flying eastward over the clouds.

Time flew by, and half a year had passed.

Li Mu steered the Earth Element Spirit Ship, traversing half of the Central State Spirit Realm, finally arriving at the Eastern Illusion Sea Region, where the Spirit Void Blessed Island is located,

Li Mu concentrated, standing still, eyes as sharp as a torch, gazing at the surging waves of the Illusion Sea ahead, his brows furrowed.

The Illusion Sea is deep, and legend has it that countless mysterious islands are hidden within, including his target for this journey—the Spirit Void Blessed Island. However, finding an elusive island in the vast sea is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Li Mu can only rely on a Purple Jade Scroll and a Sea Compass to aimlessly search the Illusion Sea. He steered the Flying Ship through the waves, extending his Divine Sense outward, searching for possible island auras.

Days passed, and the trace of the Spirit Void Blessed Land was elusive like smoke, Li Mu still had found nothing, though he did discover several islands inhabited by loose cultivators who lived by catching sea beasts and spirit fish.

Li Mu decided to stop at a nearby island for a short rest and to gather some clues about the Spirit Void Blessed Island.

As the sea breeze blew, the shore of the glistening Illusion Sea lay scattered with some simple fishing villages. The island’s loose cultivators lived by catching spirit fish and digging out spirit pearls in the shallow sea, leading a simple and honest life.

Li Mu gently landed on the sword at one of the island’s fishing villages, surveyed the surroundings, and saw that the village, though small, was clean and orderly, and the villagers were busy and organized.

Li Mu descended using Sword Control into the fishing village, where the salty sea air and fresh scent of sea fish greeted him, accompanied by the fishermen’s high-pitched singing from afar, filling the village with vitality and energy.

Li Mu walked along a winding path, with fish nets and freshly caught seafood drying in the sun on either side, children playing on open ground, occasionally, women poked their heads from their houses to curiously observe the stranger.

Li Mu entered a simple but clean little tea house, where the waiter eagerly greeted him, ”Guest, would you like tea or wine? We also have spirit fish soup. How about a bowl to warm up? Our island’s specialty, the silver-tailed spirit fish, is delicious and can nourish the spirit veins.”

”Alright, I’ll have a bowl,” Li Mu nodded and took a seat at a table by the window.

Before long, the waiter brought a steaming bowl of spirit fish soup to Li Mu’s table.

As Li Mu savored the delicious spirit fish soup, he took in the view of the fishing village outside the window.

At that moment, a few fishermen sat at a nearby table, dressed in coarse clothes, talking loudly and laughing, discussing recent harvests and occurrences on the island.

”Old Wang, the red flame spirit fish you caught yesterday was really big, you sold it for a lot of Spirit Stones!” exclaimed a bearded fisherman with excitement.

”It was alright, just five Middle Spirit Stones,” responded the elderly fisherman named Old Wang, his face glowing with joy.

”Five Middle Spirit Stones is already quite good. Old Wang, you truly are the fishing expert of our village!” said a young fisherman admiringly.

”Recently, it seems there have been many more spirit fish in the sea, we’re somewhat fortunate,” replied Old Wang, the elderly fisherman, happily.

”Indeed, but some strange things have been happening lately.” Another young fisherman lowered his voice mysteriously, saying, ”I heard someone saw a yellow light shooting to the sky from the East Cloud Island, it lasted the whole night.”

”Oh? Such an unusual thing?” The fishermen showed surprised expressions simultaneously.

”Yes, I’ve heard about it too. Some say the light beam signals the appearance of an Immortal Mansion, others claim it is caused by some demon beast’s mischief.” The young fisherman nodded solemnly, stating seriously, ”Overall, the Illusion Sea seems not to be peaceful lately, everyone should avoid going out of the island without reason.”

Li Mu’s heart stirred; he put down his bowl and approached to ask, ”Young man, where did you see that yellow light? What direction is East Cloud Island?”

Seeing Li Mu come over to make inquiries and appearing quite strong, the young fisherman responded respectfully, ”Senior, I heard about the yellow light from others; I can’t specify the exact location. I only heard some fishermen returning from the deep sea mention it; they said that the radiant beam struck from the sea floor to the sky, lighting the whole sea realm, seemingly signaling an Immortal Mansion about to appear.

”As for East Cloud Island, it’s located in the northeastern part of the Illusion Sea, a relatively remote island, rich in spiritual energy, boasting a Top Grade Spirit Vein, surrounded by many rare spirit grasses and spirit fish. This island is Huang Yun Daoist’s domain; typically, loose cultivators dare not easily set foot on the island.” The young fisherman earnestly added, providing detailed information.

”Thank you, young fellow!” Li Mu gratefully nodded and then took out two middle-grade Spirit Stones from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, tossing them to the fisherman’s hands.

Li Mu secretly pondered; if the Spirit Void Blessed Land were to appear, it might be accompanied by various phenomena. This mysterious beam may indeed be linked to the Spirit Void Blessed Land.

Immediately, Li Mu hurriedly settled the bill, ascended using Sword Control, and swiftly flew toward East Cloud Island.
