I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 956: Chapter 500: Sowing the Spiritual Lotus (2)

As the array patterns gradually formed, the power of space-time within the Space-Time Abyss also became more turbulent, as if driven by an invisible force, flowing according to a predetermined trajectory.

Soon, Li Mu held the Void Spirit Crystal, and as he activated its internal void power with spiritual power, it seemed to awaken, drawn by the array gathering the power of space-time, ultimately blending into the array hub.

As the Void Spirit Crystal was slowly embedded into the array hub, the entire Space-Time Abyss seemed to be abruptly activated by an invisible force. The already turbulent power of space-time reached an unprecedented climax at this moment. In the void, brilliant lights intertwined like rainbows, illuminating the entire abyss into a dream-like state, breathtakingly beautiful.

Feeling this miraculous power he had personally created, Li Mu gave a smile, an indescribable joy surging within him.

The next moment, Li Mu retrieved a jade box from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

Opening the jade box, it revealed crystal-clear lotus seeds, none other than the rare Tier Seven Spirit Plant - the Spirit Seed of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus.

Li Mu gently raised his hand, guiding several dozen Spirit Seeds of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus out with respect, placing them into the completed space-time array.

As several dozen Spirit Seeds were sent into the core of the array, they seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, automatically suspended in the void of the array, beginning to slowly rotate, releasing faint space-time fluctuations.

As the Spirit Seeds rotated, the surrounding power of space-time appeared to be attracted, converging to form a vortex centered on the Spirit Seeds. The space-time vortex continuously rotated and expanded, drawing more power of space-time into it, providing a constant energy supply for the nurturing of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Under his innate divine power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, he understood that the seeds of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus were absorbing the power of space-time, awaiting the moment to break free.

Li Mu was slightly delighted, manipulating the space-time grand array to drive the array hub using the Void Spirit Crystal to guide more power of space-time, injecting it precisely into the Spirit Seeds to accelerate their growth and transformation.

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment, as Li Mu and the Five-Colored Flood Dragon quietly watched, witnessing this miracle unfold.

Three days passed, and the crystal-clear Spirit Seeds absorbed a vast amount of power of space-time. Suddenly, they blossomed with dazzling light, followed by small cracks appearing on their surface, quickly spreading.

”Crack!” With a series of crisp sounds, the Spirit Seeds successively cracked open, and tender green sprouts emerged from them.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled once more. Once all the Spirit Seeds had sprouted, he ceased his activation of the space-time array, knowing that now they had successfully broken free, their life force had transformed dramatically, and they could be left to grow here naturally.

The higher the tier of the spirit plant, the more stringent its growth conditions and the longer its mature stage. However, as long as their growth requirements are met, there’s no need to spend too much effort on care at other times.

The plant spirit attributes of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus can enhance the Sutra of the Wheel of Space-Time, a saint tier cultivation technique that Li Mu values greatly. It is a technique related to the power of space-time, offering unparalleled advantages for escaping or ambushing.

If these Spirit Seeds could be cultivated into mature Space-Time Spirit Lotuses, enhancing the Sutra of the Wheel of Space-Time, it could become his ace in critical situations.

With a thought, Li Mu retrieved several bottles of precious spiritual liquid from his storage ring, specially prepared to nourish high-tier spirit plants. He gently waved his hand, and the spiritual liquid transformed into a fine rain, evenly sprinkling onto each tender green sprout. The sprouts seemed to sense this nourishment, their leaves lightly swaying as if expressing gratitude.

”I hope you all grow strong and become my reliable companions on the cultivation path,” Li Mu whispered to himself, a light of expectation shimmering in his eyes.

With those words, Li Mu’s figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot, appearing in the cave dwelling on the Five Elements Spirit Mountain, where the sight before him made him unconsciously smile with satisfaction.

After this space expansion, the Painting Tier Treasure Mansion not only increased dramatically in overall scale but even his personal cultivation cave dwelling underwent tremendous changes.

At the entrance of the cave dwelling, the previously unremarkable stone door had been replaced by a jade gate carved from rare spiritual ore, inscribed with complex array patterns, shimmering with a gentle and mysterious sheen.

He gently pushed open the jade gate, and a fresh, rich spiritual qi greeted him, mingled with faint floral and herbal fragrances, refreshing his mind and spirit.

Entering the cave dwelling, the interior space had expanded several times compared to before, with an even more exquisite layout, each area exuding natural and harmonious beauty. The dome was inlaid with luminous pearls that emitted soft light, illuminating the entire dwelling like daytime, yet without a hint of harshness.

The previously simple cultivation platform had been upgraded to a profound jade platform inlaid with Five Elements Spirit Stones, where colorful spiritual power glimmered in tandem with the surrounding spiritual qi, forming a perfect cultivation environment.

Li Mu gently stepped onto the Five-Colored Jade Platform and felt waves of soft spiritual power rise from beneath him, traversing his meridians throughout his body, cleansing every inch of skin, nourishing both soul and physical body.

”Little one, you’ve put your heart into this!”

Li Mu laughed heartily, gladly accepting the homage from the Treasure Mansion Spirit.

Li Mu sat cross-legged on the Five-Colored Jade Platform, focusing his mind on the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, extracting the Daoist inheritance from the recent auction - the Insect Scripture.

The Insect Scripture slowly appeared before him, the book seemingly crafted from the belly skin of spiritual insects, soft in texture. The brown cover page, though dim in spiritual light, was filled with a mystical aura.

Under his innate divine power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of the Insect Scripture were clearly displayed before him.

[Hidden Spirit Insect Record (Missing)]

[Grade: Tier Eight Insect Scripture]

[Attributes: Ancient Spirit Pattern (Hidden), Insect Soul Resonance (Hidden), Secret Technique Self-generated (Hidden), Ten Thousand Insects Atlas (Hidden), Magic-guided Insect Tide (Fragmented)]

[Status: Dim Spiritual Breath, Fragmented Soul Consciousness, Holy Artifact Concealed in Dust]

[Ancient Mysterious Light Cocoon Threads, woven by Celestial Insect Thought, the Spirit Insect Treasure Manual has undergone the baptism by catastrophe, eroded by ages, its spiritual breath dimmed, with fragmented soul consciousness. Gathering the Six Harmonies Insect Spirit Saliva, dust of a thousand ages, the life opportunity of billions, only then can its hidden secrets be revealed. This Hidden Spirit Insect Record was originally an unparalleled Insect Cultivation Treasure Manual, containing secrets of insect proliferation, with each spirit pattern embodying the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, enabling cultivators to comprehend insect language, command ten thousand insects, and traverse the insect realm. However, the manual was unfortunately damaged due to catastrophe, sealing its supreme spirit patterns and secret techniques, leaving only faint spiritual energy.]

Li Mu took a deep breath, invested his divine sense, attempting to peruse this fragmented inheritance.

As Li Mu’s divine sense slowly penetrated the Insect Scripture, an ancient and desolate aura flowed into his sea of consciousness, as if traversing the boundaries of space-time, returning to that ancient era where insects thrived and all beings coexisted.

It was as if ten thousand insects chirped in his mind; suddenly, this immense torrent of information surged like a dam-break flood, violently impacting Li Mu’s sea of consciousness. His face drastically changed; the originally calm sea of consciousness became turbulent, as if countless insects were frantically tearing at his awareness, intertwining pain and chaos to a nearly unbearable extent.

”Screech!”

At this moment, a piercing screech shattered the silence in the air, penetrating Li Mu’s sea of consciousness on the brink of collapse.

Xiaobai sensed the crisis of its master and promptly used powerful soul power, forming an invisible barrier to isolate Li Mu from the frenzied torrent of information.

In the depths of Li Mu’s consciousness, the previously raging flood of information, under Xiaobai’s soul power isolation, began to gradually calm. The din of ten thousand insects chirping steadily weakened, replaced by a warm and tranquil force, gently permeating into Li Mu’s sea of consciousness, repairing the divine soul damaged by the impact.

”Xiaobai!”

Li Mu’s consciousness gradually regained clarity and, seeing the puppet spirit Xiaobai, felt an indescribable gratitude in his heart, knowing it was Xiaobai who intervened at the crucial moment to restrain this sudden crisis for him.

As his sea of consciousness settled, Li Mu regained control of his body, slowly opening his eyes to see Xiaobai nervously watching him, its dark eyes filled with concern.

”Xiaobai, don’t worry, I’m fine now!” Li Mu’s face appeared slightly pale as he reassured with a bitter smile.

This Daoist inheritance was not so easy to inherit. Not understanding ’insect language’ nearly caused his sea of consciousness to be overwhelmed by ten thousand insects, fortunately, Xiaobai intervened in time to prevent such a situation.
