Chapter 909: Chapter 477: Promote to Refining Void (Part 1)_2

Everyone cheered one after another, happy that the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape had successfully passed its True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Master!" After the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape absorbed the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Dew, it immediately transformed into human form, flew down to land in front of Li Mu, crystal tears glistening in its eyes.

The Jade-Eyed Golden Ape bowed deeply to Li Mu, choking with excitement as it said, "Master, Xiaojin has no way to repay your nurturing. It was you who gave me new life, who gave me the chance to be Promoted to True Spirit. This grace, Xiaojin will remember forever!"

Looking at the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape, a trace of satisfaction flashed through Li Mu’s eyes. He smiled and helped it up. "There’s no need for thanks between you and me. Come, get up!"

"Xiaojin, you just crossed the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. Your body still needs some time to recover. For now, what matters most is that you go and rest." Li Mu paused, looking at the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape as he spoke.

Xiaojin nodded respectfully. "Yes, Master. I will follow your orders and go down to rest properly."

With that, Xiaojin bowed deeply to Li Mu once more, then turned to nod to the others in greeting. Its figure flickered, turning into a streak of golden light and vanishing from where it stood.

Watching the Golden Ape depart, Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "All right, Xiaojin’s gone to rest. You all can disperse as well."

"Sect Master, we shall take our leave first!" Everyone bowed to Li Mu in unison, then scattered in all directions.

Seeing them off, Li Mu glanced at Xue’Er, whose face was full of joy and whose smile was bright as the sun. He couldn’t help letting out a sigh, revealing a wry smile.

The Golden Ape had successfully passed the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, but he was still uneasy about Xue’Er and Xiaobai. As for Xiaowa, with the Daoist Monarch’s inheritance and the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix’s talent, its foundation was already there; he didn’t need to worry at all about them Crossing the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Brother Li, what’s wrong? Did I do something bad?"

Seeing Li Mu look at her with a wry smile, Xue’Er couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. She looked at him, somewhat aggrieved, and asked.

Looking into Xue’Er’s clear and bright eyes, Li Mu’s heart softened. He reached out to rub her soft hair and hurriedly explained, "No, it’s just that I’m worried you and Xiaobai might encounter danger when Crossing the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. Though you bear a Celestial Fox Bloodline, in Body Refinement and your Heart cultivation, you’re still lacking somewhat. As for Xiaobai, it’s a Gu Spirit that became a Dao, so I’m afraid its True Spirit Thunder Tribulation won’t be easy to pass safely either."

"Oh, so that’s what you’re worried about." Hearing this, Xue’Er couldn’t help breaking into a smile. A firm light flashed in her eyes as she took Li Mu’s hand and solemnly promised, "Brother Li, rest assured! From today on, I’ll work even harder at Cultivation. I won’t let you worry. I’ll definitely succeed in Crossing the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation!"

"As for Xiaobai, we’ll help it together!" Xue’Er paused, then said with utter seriousness.

Seeing the determination and confidence in Xue’Er’s gaze, a warm current surged in Li Mu’s heart. He smiled and nodded. "Good, I believe in you! We’ll work together, not only to help you, but to help Xiaobai through this ordeal as well."

After a brief pause, Li Mu looked toward the direction of the Seven Gods Peaks and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, I may end up walking ahead of you all."

As soon as the words fell, Li Mu cast the Five Elements Escape Technique, taking Xue’Er with him as they vanished from the spot.

In the next instant, Li Mu appeared hand-in-hand with Xue’Er in the hall of Golden Sword Peak, beside a stretch of golden Spirit Field.

Golden Sword Chrysanthemums spread out like a golden ocean, waves surging. Every Sword Chrysanthemum radiated dazzling light; as they swayed with the wind, it was as if countless sharp swords were dancing, emitting crisp sword cries that echoed over the open Spirit Field, displaying boundless and majestic Sword Qi.

Under Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the Attributes of the Golden Sword Chrysanthemum were clearly presented before Li Mu’s eyes.

[Golden Sword Chrysanthemum (Mature Stage)]

[Grade: Tier Five Spirit Plants]

[Attributes: Golden light brilliant, breaking hardness and shattering sharpness, Gold Essence held within, Sword Qi born of itself]

[Status: Sword Qi accompanies the body, Golden Sword Sword Intent follows, growth extremely rapid]

[Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum, Tier Five Spirit Plants, innately containing Gold Element Sword Qi, golden light brilliant, Sword Qi accompanying the body. Plant age: 107 years. Growth requirements: a place where Gold Essence Qi converges, Sword Qi coexisting, Spiritual Power abundant. At twenty years of growth, Sword Intent first appears; at thirty years, sword leaves grow sharp; at fifty years, Sword Chrysanthemums fully bloom, with a Sword Intent essence nurtured within the flower heart. Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum at the Mature Stage of centennial Medicinal Age is one of the core materials for Refine Golden Soul Pill.]

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye this batch of Sword Chrysanthemums had all matured. Li Mu was overjoyed. He hadn’t harvested them immediately, but was waiting for the Spirit Plants on the remaining six Spirit Peaks—Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Yellow Vein Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Illusionary Yin Grass, Jade Sun Spirit Fruit—to all reach the Mature Stage, so they could be harvested together to obtain Plant Spirit Light Groups.

Now, it was more or less time.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the golden Spirit Field before him, a delighted smile appearing on his face.

Suddenly dragged to the Spirit Field, and linking that with what Li Mu had just said, Xue’Er was taken aback, utterly confused.

Xue’Er looked at Li Mu in puzzlement and asked, "Brother Li, are you going to Promote to Refining Void as well? But your Cultivation is only at Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation; haven’t you not yet reached that level?"

Li Mu gazed at Xue’Er and casually made up a reason, explaining, "Indeed, my Cultivation is still insufficient. However, the Cultivation Technique I practice is rather special. The Spirit Plants planted on the Seven Gods Peaks have all entered the Mature Stage, and their maturation will provide me with an excellent Cultivation environment. Once I fully absorb the essence of these Spirit Plants, my Cultivation will undergo a qualitative leap."

"Really? That’s wonderful!" Xue’Er’s eyes lit up, excitedly happy for Li Mu.

"Has the time come?"

At that moment, a figure quietly appeared behind Li Mu—it was none other than the Divinity Transformation Avatar stationed at Golden Sword Peak. Step by step, he walked up to Li Mu, his features cold as ice, and asked.

Li Mu turned around, his gaze meeting that of the Gold Element Divinity Transformation Avatar. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Not that fast. There are still a few Spirit Fields that need you all to guard."

As for having the seven Divinity Transformation Avatars condense a Refining Void Realm, Li Mu decided to put that plan on hold.

First, simultaneously condensing all seven Divinity Transformation Avatars into a Refining Void Realm at once would be too difficult; the Star Nebula Visualization Method had yet to advance, and Li Mu was not yet ready. Second, the high-tier Spirit Plants of the seven Extreme Realm Spirit Fields, though they didn’t require too much effort to tend, were located far apart from one another. Li Mu decided to continue having the seven Divinity Transformation Avatars look after them, so he wouldn’t have to run back and forth.

"So that’s how it is!"

Linked to Li Mu by a certain invisible bond, the Gold Element Clone immediately sensed Li Mu’s thoughts and nodded in relief.

Li Mu smiled faintly, then turned to look at the clusters of blooming Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum. He lifted his hand and cast the Gold Magic - Harvesting Technique.

In the next second, a golden Spirit Light shot out from Li Mu’s hand, slicing past the roots of each Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum.

With a swishing sound, a large swath of Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum toppled over, and from their roots, one golden light group after another appeared—visible only to him.

Seeing these golden light groups, delight flashed across Li Mu’s face. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, each golden light group turned into a streak of golden light and, like moths drawn to a flame, surged toward his body.

[Innate Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption active. You absorbed a cluster of Plant Spirit: Innate Metal Qi +212, Sword Qi power +33]

[Innate Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption active. You absorbed a cluster of Plant Spirit: Innate Metal Qi +169, Sword Qi power +29]

...

In an instant, dense prompts from Plant Spirit Absorption flooded the log column of the panel. Li Mu was overjoyed—one Harvesting Technique had reaped Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums from more than ten acres of Spirit Field.

Nearly a thousand acres of Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum would be enough for him to obtain a Plant Spirit Light Group total of astronomical proportions.

"Brother Li, hurry and put the Sword Chrysanthemums away!"

Seeing Li Mu standing there in a daze with a delighted look on his face, paying no attention to the fallen Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, Xue’Er hurriedly waved her hand, storing the Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums away into the Storage Ring one by one.

Xue’Er harvested the Spirit Plants at an astonishing speed, the Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum being put away like one Golden Spirit Sword after another. However, even this speed couldn’t compare to the shock of the insane growth of numbers on the virtual panel before Li Mu’s eyes.

Li Mu snapped out of it, coughed lightly in embarrassment, then quickly moved to help—casting Harvesting Technique while collecting both the Plant Spirit Light Groups and the Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums.
