I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 972: Chapter 507: Unexpected Enemy Attack (Part 1)_2

The ancient teleportation array had been arranged by Li Mu many times, but this time, a cross-star realm transmission required the fusion of more array patterns, involving star positions, space-time locations, and many other array patterns.

Li Mu cast his divine sense into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, and immediately, nine Gold Element Spirit Swords emerged out of thin air, hovering around him. The sword bodies shimmered with dazzling golden light, each sword containing powerful spiritual power fluctuations, like nine golden dragons ready to strike.

”With the sword as my pen, with spirit as my ink, draw the map of time and space!” Li Mu whispered, sealing with two hands, and spiritual power surged forth.

With the infusion of Li Mu’s spiritual power and the possession of his divine sense, the nine Spirit Swords seemed endowed with life. The sword tips sparkled with spirit light, transforming into nine extremely splendid golden streaks of light, cleaving through the air, accurately and flawlessly embedding into the circular array platform, beginning to carve out intricate and mysterious array patterns on the hard Celestial Spirit Stone.

These patterns were like the most exquisite strokes between heaven and earth, embodying the deepest mysteries of the universe. They were either winding and twisting, like a galaxy spanning the sky; or straight like a sword, pointing directly to the top of the firmament. The star positions were precise and flawless, with each line seemingly adhering to some ancient and mysterious law, driving the purest spiritual power in the universe. Interwoven and orderly, they formed breathtaking motifs, resembling stars moving in the vast night sky and rivers rushing over extensive lands, presenting a grandeur and harmony transcendent of the mundane world.

As Li Mu continued to inject spiritual power, the nine Spirit Swords appeared to possess self-awareness, dancing agilely in the air, sometimes crisscrossing and weaving intricate spiritual power nets, other times advancing side-by-side, opening paths to the unknown. Each touch of the sword tip triggered intense surges of spiritual power, causing the entire underground space to tremble, as if even time had slowed its pace at this moment.

The teleportation array platform constructed from Celestial Spirit Stone was gradually carved under Li Mu’s control into finely detailed, complex designs; the Celestial Spirit Stone itself contained pure and powerful spiritual power, and at this moment, bursts of spirit light were elicited.

Li Mu’s Star Nebula Visualization Method was executed to its utmost, his divine sense was akin to an invisible net that tightly locked every inch of space on the array platform. He meticulously crafted each array pattern, striving for flawless perfection in every detail, as if creating a work of art spanning time and space.

The nine Gold Element Spirit Swords under his control resembled nine perfectly synchronized dancers, cooperating and weaving together; wherever the sword light passed, the array patterns instantly formed, seemingly heaven-made. At times, the sword momentum was overwhelming, sweeping in like a storm; at others, gentle and delicate, the sword tips lightly intersecting, array patterns converging at subtle angles to form exquisite spiritual power circuits.

Time silently slipped away like flowing water, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Li Mu’s forehead, evidence of his significant divine thought exhaustion. However, he showed no signs of slackness or relaxation because he knew that every moment now was crucial.

Li Mu swiftly retrieved several precious Spirit Pills from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl; these pills contained abundant divine sense and spiritual power. He swallowed a few without hesitation while activating the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, refining quickly, sensing the rapid restoration of spiritual power within his body and the gradual fullness of his divine thought, continuing the intense task of array formation.

As time passed, the array patterns on the platform grew more numerous and denser, interwoven and nested, forming a vast and complex grand teleportation array that not only crossed the boundaries of time and space but involved star motion, spiritual power flux, and the mysteries of life, showcasing the complexity and profoundness of ancient teleportation array techniques.

...

Two days blinked by, and Li Mu was still wholly engrossed in array formation.

At this time, Sword Master Feng who was guarding outside the secret chamber furrowed his brows, his powerful divine sense seemingly preemptively sensing some dire situation.

Sure enough, above Profound Celestial City, battles had erupted. The powerhouses of Netherworld Sect and Profound Cloud Sect, like dark clouds pressing down, wielded world-shattering power, launching fierce attacks on the disciples of Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

”Profound Celestial Sword Sect disciples heed orders, hold fast to positions, activate the City Defense Array, and vow to retreat not!” Sword Master Feng’s voice echoed over the battlefield, inspiring the hearts of Profound Celestial Sword Sect disciples; they steadfastly resisted the enemy’s assault.

Above Profound Celestial City, Sect Master Xin Tiansen of Profound Cloud Sect and Sect Master Gao Hong of Netherworld Sect stood side by side in the void, surrounded by rich spiritual power fluctuations, like two insurmountable peaks, overlooking the chaotic battlefield below.

Xin Tiansen in a black robe, his face stern, eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty glow, evidently determined for success in this joint action, while Gao Hong donned a dark green robe, an insidious smile on his face, his gaze piercing through Profound Celestial City’s City Defense Array, fixing firmly on Sword Master Feng.

”Sect Master Xin, it seems that Profound Celestial Sword Sect is no more than this. After today, they will have no place in the Outer Realm, and Wuling Star will be split between you and me.” Gao Hong’s voice held a hint of pride as he looked towards Xin Tiansen, seemingly awaiting his response.

Xin Tiansen’s lips curled into a cold smile, cautiously indicating: ”Sect Master Gao, it’s too early to talk about this now, we can’t afford to be careless, for Profound Celestial Sword Sect has deep foundations, especially that Sword Master Feng, who possesses formidable strength, besides, he personally brought Master Li here this time, perhaps there are ulterior motives.”

”Hmph, the Outer Realm is our territory. Even if Profound Celestial Sword Sect is a True Dragon, it has to remain subdued. You and I together, who under heaven can challenge us?” Gao Hong dismissed it, his words full of confidence, his eyes gleamed with greed, he asked anxiously: ”Are you sure Master Li is in this city, don’t deceive me!”

Xin Tiansen chuckled coldly, complex emotions flickered in his eyes as if anticipating Gao Hong’s doubts, he indicated: ”Relax, Sect Master Gao, my intelligence is absolutely reliable, it was obtained from our insider planted in Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Master Li indeed followed Sword Master Feng to this city, but I’m uncertain why he came, that’s what worries me somewhat!”

”Worry! What is there to worry about, just a few more efforts. Whatever plans they have, today will be the stepping stone for us to flatten Profound Celestial Sword Sect.” Gao Hong laughed repeatedly, appearing quite impatient with Xin Tiansen’s worries, he urged: ”Sect Master Xin, we must act quickly, the longer we delay, the greater the change. Once Profound Celestial Sword Sect catches a breather, or if Master Li completes his setup, it might be hard for us to seize the city!”

Hearing this, Xin Tiansen’s gaze slightly darkened, knowing full well the truth in Gao Hong’s words, glancing around, seeing Profound Celestial Sword Sect disciples fighting hard, but the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, the light of the City Defense Array also gradually weakened, seemingly unable to withstand their combined assault.

”You and I act together, first break this City Defense Array, kill Sword Master Feng, as for Master Li, he will naturally be within reach after, and then we can discuss further plans!” Xin Tiansen nodded, looking at Gao Hong indicating.

”Agreed! Remember to tell your men to be careful not to injure Master Li!”

With that, Gao Hong moved, spiritual power boiling around him, transforming into a mist of dark green, lunging towards the City Defense Array of Profound Celestial City.

Unwilling to lag behind, Xin Tiansen’s black robe billowed, like a dark night eagle poised to fly, closely following.

The two sect masters struck simultaneously, instantly changing heaven and earth, causing winds and clouds to surge. Under the joint attack of these two powerhouses, Profound Celestial City’s City Defense Array began to tremble violently, light flickering unpredictably, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

At this critical moment, Sword Master Feng remained extraordinarily calm, knowing full well that with his solitary strength, he could not withstand the combined assault of the two sect masters, but he also knew that retreat was not an option now.

”Elder Li, Profound Cloud Sect and Netherworld Sect jointly assault us, how much longer will the teleportation array take to complete!” Sword Master Feng’s voice, transmitted clearly into Li Mu’s ear through the transmission array within the secret chamber.

”Sword Master, the teleportation array is nearing completion but it requires a moment longer. Please ensure to delay the enemy, buying time for me!” Li Mu replied solemnly, concurrently accelerating his actions, with the nine Gold Element Spirit Swords dancing more vigorously in the air, sword light flickering as array patterns were swiftly perfected.

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng’s eyes flashed with determination, knowing that successfully overcoming this calamity hinged on the completion of the teleportation array. He took a deep breath, summoned the Cyan Kite Dao Sword, controlled the sky, and headed straight for the defense line of Profound Celestial City.
