“Old fellow! Take it easy, a teleportation Formation is not something you can peek at!”
Li Mu’s Divine Thought entered the teleportation Formation patterns, and he was immediately impacted by the powerful Time-Space Law, making him ‘see stars’ and turn pale. At the same time, a Transformation God cultivator’s teasing voice came from beside his ear, and suddenly a spiritual power entered his body, helping him to retract his Divine Thought.
Li Mu quickly stabilized his Divine Thought, cast a grateful look at the white-robed Transformation God cultivator, and thanked him, “Thank you, thank you, Senior, for lending a helping hand!”
This scene, in the eyes of the Illusory God Sect Nascent Soul cultivator who was in charge of the teleportation Formation, was nothing unusual and came as no surprise.
Every time, there were always some reckless fellows who used their Divine Thought to peek at the teleportation Formation’s patterns. At best, their Divine Thought would be damaged; at worst, they would be entangled by the Time-Space Formation patterns, their Primordial Spirit would be injured, and their cultivation would drop.
Having recovered, Li Mu saw that the massive Formation was large enough to accommodate a hundred Cultivators, but it only carried about half that number.
Li Mu surveyed the entire teleportation Formation. Under his Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits, all the attributes of the teleportation Formation appeared in the character log box.
【Teleportation Grand Formation】
【Grade: Seventh-Tier Time-Space Law Formation】
【Characteristics: Hundred Thousand Li Teleportation, Time-Space Constancy, Time-Space Reversal, Time-Space Protection】
【A seventh-tier Time-Space Teleportation Formation, carved and drawn with seventh-tier space boundary stone, seventh-tier Time-Space Star, seventh-tier Myriad Melting Spiritual Rock, combined with the power of Time-Space Law. It consumes a large amount of Spirit Stones to activate Time-Space Protection and Time-Space Teleportation power, teleporting the target a hundred thousand li away.】
After seeing the attributes of the Teleportation Grand Formation, Li Mu’s face was crestfallen, as if he had suffered a major blow.
No wonder his Divine Thought was swept away and overwhelmed by the Time-Space Formation patterns; this teleportation Formation was actually as high as seventh-tier. Li Mu’s Array Formation Skill was stuck at level five, so this Teleportation Grand Formation was indeed not something he could peek at currently.
Four Illusory God Sect True Lords were in charge, with the teleportation Formation arranged in a four-directional pattern. They formed hand seals and channeled abundant spiritual power into the Formation artifact before them.
“Welcome, everyone, to our sect’s teleportation Formation. After the teleportation Formation begins, everyone must refrain from any conflict or activating spiritual power, otherwise it is very easy to cause instability in the teleportation, leading to the collapse of the teleportation, and there is a high possibility of getting lost in the spatial turbulence, or being torn apart by the power of the teleportation Formation… Everyone, please remain calm, and return your spiritual power to your Dantian. Our sect can ensure everyone safely reaches their destination.”
The Illusory God Sect Nascent Soul True Lord in charge of the teleportation Formation, expressionless, looked at the passengers in the Formation, delivering warnings he had spoken countless times.
Everyone nodded, heeding his advice.
“Alright! Prepare to activate the Formation.”
Seeing that everyone understood, the Illusory God Sect Nascent Soul True Lord decisively gave the order.
The next second, the teleportation Formation glowed with spiritual light. A hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones embedded in the Formation channeled pure spiritual power into it, and powerful Time-Space power was generated. Li Mu only felt his entire body enveloped by a mysterious force, which was extremely profound.
This teleportation opportunity was rare, so Li Mu remained calm, silently sensing the Time-Space power applied to his body and comprehending the Time-Space Dao.
If his Array Formation Skill could be raised to Level 7, he must find a way to learn this legendary Formation.
If it could be made into a Formation artifact, then when facing powerful enemies, if he was outmatched, activating the teleportation Formation to escape would definitely be an extremely effective life-saving method!
Just as Li Mu was lost in thought, the four Illusory God Sect Nascent Soul True Lords, forming hand seals, collectively injected the strongest surge of spiritual power into the teleportation Formation.
In an instant, the teleportation Formation glowed with dazzling spiritual light.
Everyone, including Li Mu, floated in mid-air, and the next second, they felt a huge pulling force. Everyone turned into specks of starlight and vanished.
Inside the teleportation Formation, Li Mu saw that the surrounding scenery was colorful and he couldn't see the outside world clearly. A feeling of dizziness and disorientation followed.
Li Mu was dizzy and nauseous, his body feeling quite uncomfortable.
The Golden Core cultivators around him looked pained, and the Nascent Soul True Lords were not much better.
This was the negative status of riding the teleportation Formation; was everyone like this?
In less than a hundred breaths, this uncomfortable feeling disappeared. With a “buzz,” Li Mu only felt his body lighten, and the surroundings changed dramatically. The Time-Space Protection power on his body also vanished.
Li Mu had already felt ‘his feet on solid ground.’ The dizziness made his steps a bit light, but his Perfection-level Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Art made his body incredibly strong, easily overcoming this slight physical discomfort.
“Wah!”
“Oh my god! It’s too uncomfortable!”
“Ugh! I can’t take it anymore, I can’t ride it again!”
“I…”
Li Mu looked around and saw only two Transformation God cultivators who were safe and sound, curiously observing him. The Golden Core cultivators around them were sprawled out, and the Nascent Soul cultivators were dry heaving with ugly expressions.
A foul odor drifted from the Formation, as several Golden Core cultivators, unable to control themselves, vomited the filth from their stomachs.
Li Mu silently retreated. The Nascent Soul True Lords were in a slightly better state, not to the point of such loss of composure.
“Everyone, welcome to Bitian City. Those who do not need to stay can leave through the right door. If you wish to take the next teleportation Formation, you must wait ten days. You can rest at the Illusory God Sect for a while, and you will be notified when the next activation date arrives.”
A slightly plump Nascent Soul True Lord cupped his hands at the people in the Formation. A dozen or so Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, holding cleaning tools, quickly stepped forward to clean up the ‘battlefield,’ clearly accustomed to this sight.
This teleportation had brought them to Bitian City, which was not as prosperous as Luo Tian City, being a remote area. The strongest Cultivator in the city was only a Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Under the guidance of this Nascent Soul True Lord, Li Mu moved into a courtyard, set up a new Formation, and waited for the teleportation in ten days.
There were no strong Cultivators in Bitian City, which made Li Mu feel a little more at ease. He arranged for Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa, who had already recovered from their injuries, to guard the courtyard.
After leaving a few Star Puppets, he entered the room, set up a Dragon Trapping Formation, and then took out the Painting World Treasure Mansion from his storage slot, throwing his figure into it.
Painting World Treasure Mansion Space.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape, having shrunk its size, sat on the back of a Fourth-Tier Crane Yao Beast and flew to Li Mu, reporting meritorious service, “Master, Master, the Heavenly Wind Grass has been ripe for a long time. If we don’t harvest it soon, it will all wither!”
“Got it!”
Li Mu smiled and nodded. His sudden entry into the Painting World Treasure Mansion was due to a notification from the Azure-Eyed White Ape’s Spirit Taming Contract, with the purpose of harvesting spiritual plants in the Treasure Mansion Space.
Arriving at the Spirit Valley nestled by mountains and rivers, thousands of acres of Heavenly Wind Grass emitted a faint green glow. A gentle breeze rustled through them, making a soft sound. They were full of spirituality, and the unique fragrance of Heavenly Wind Grass wafted out, making one feel refreshed.
“Well done!”
Li Mu praised the Azure-Eyed White Ape and began to harvest the Wind Spirit Grass.
Li Mu’s praise made the Azure-Eyed White Ape ecstatic.
“Master, you busy, I go catch Spirit Beast for you.” The Azure-Eyed White Ape chuckled, then subserviently urged the Crane Yao Beast to a certain spot to hunt Spirit Beasts.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, spreading his five fingers. Multiple Gold Blade Techniques were instantly flung out, and crisscrossing blade lights flashed through the spiritual field.
Thousands of acres of Heavenly Wind Grass fell over in a few breaths. Li Mu’s Divine Thought swept over them, and clusters of green light flew towards him, enveloping him and instantly turning him into a green giant.
【Heavenly Talent - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a cluster of Plant Spirit, Free Proficiency Points +1】
【Heavenly Talent - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a cluster of Plant Spirit, Free Proficiency Points +2】
【Heavenly Talent - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a cluster of Plant Spirit, Free Proficiency Points +2】
………
After harvesting the thousand acres of spiritual field, Li Mu glanced at his personal character panel. This time, he had gained over 15 million Free Proficiency Points, plus the remaining ones from before, totaling over 17 million Free Proficiency Points.
Li Mu swept his Divine Thought over the cut grass, sending it before a group of Third-Tier Red-Maned Bristle Bulls.
Facing this sudden feast, the herd went wild with joy and began to devour it frantically.
Li Mu smiled slightly, cleared the spiritual field, cast a spell to turn over the spiritual soil, and then planted the Second-Tier Heavenly Wind Grass spiritual seeds.
Li Mu cast a Qingfeng Huanyu Technique, and a gentle, heavy rain covering a thousand acres of spiritual field poured down.
After dealing with these, the Azure-Eyed White Ape in the distance, carrying a gigantic fish Yao Beast, flew to Li Mu.
With a ‘thump’.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape threw the gigantic fish Yao Beast it was carrying on its shoulder onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Li Mu’s eye twitched slightly. He waved his hand, casting an earth-elemental spell to disperse the flying dust, and looked at the Azure-Eyed White Ape with confusion.
“Master, can you roast this fish Yao Beast and give me a few bites as a reward?”
The Azure-Eyed White Ape looked at Li Mu pitifully, drooling slightly, and asked with anticipation all over its face.
Last time, after killing that Fourth-Tier Ox Yao Beast, Li Mu had roasted and eaten most of the carcass, leaving quite a bit.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape, attracted by the aroma, took a small bite. The taste was simply divine. It wolfed down the remaining ox Yao Beast meat, finding it so delicious that it wished it could eat its own tongue.
It never thought that the ox Yao Beast meat roasted by its master would be so delicious. From then on, the Azure-Eyed White Ape had been thinking about it, unable to forget the Yao Beast meat roasted by Li Mu.
This time, finding an opportunity when its master was free, it brought a fish Yao Beast for Li Mu to prepare.
“Alright! As long as you guard the spiritual field for me, food and drink are not a problem.” Upon learning of the Azure-Eyed White Ape’s “wishful thinking,” Li Mu laughed heartily and readily agreed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu casually summoned a spiritual sword, disemboweled the fish Yao Beast, and quickly began to prepare it.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape was not idle either. Under Li Mu’s command, it pulled out a towering tree.
Li Mu’s sword moved swiftly, and the spiritual sword quickly whittled it into a long, pointed stick, which he then pierced through the fish Yao Beast’s body from head to tail.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape brought two huge stones and placed them on either side, serving as a barbecue grill.
Li Mu placed the nearly ten-zhang long fish Yao Beast on the makeshift grill, then casually summoned a ball of Five Elements Spiritual Fire and began to roast it slowly.
The Azure-Eyed White Ape stayed by the side, its eyes wide like brass bells, watching Li Mu roast the fish Yao Beast with anticipation.
Before long, the fish meat was almost roasted, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, making the Azure-Eyed White Ape drool with desire.
Half an hour passed, and the fish Yao Beast was finally roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside.
“Alright, eat!”
Li Mu cut off half of the fish body and gave it to the Azure-Eyed White Ape as a reward.
“Thank you, Master.”
The Azure-Eyed White Ape joyfully picked up half of the fish body and began to tear at it with large bites, its eating manner a bit gruesome to behold.
The Crane Yao Beast, which had been caught to serve as a mount, trembled in fear at such a terrifying sight, deeply afraid that it too would become a meal later. Watching them wolf down their food, its throat moved, wishing it could also get a bite.
Both master and beast were big eaters. Before long, the fish Yao Beast’s ten-zhang long massive body was eaten until only a giant fish skeleton remained.
Having eaten his fill, Li Mu contentedly patted his belly, looked at the Azure-Eyed White Ape still gnawing and licking the fish head beside him, and said with a chuckle, “Alright! Stop gnawing, I’ll get you more next time!”
The Azure-Eyed White Ape’s eyes lit up. It quickly put down the fish skeleton, human-like, wiped its hands on the fur behind its back, and quietly waited for instructions.
“Take me to Qingning Lake!” Li Mu smiled and gestured.
“Okay, Master.”
Li Mu was not in a hurry to travel. He sat with the shrunken Azure-Eyed White Ape on the back of the White Crane Yao Beast, slowly flying above Qingning Lake.
Qingning Lake was in a valley surrounded by mountains, where the air was dense with moisture and rich in water spirit Qi. Li Mu sat on the Crane Yao Beast, and the air blowing towards him felt exceptionally moist.
Looking down at the lake below, the clear, azure water sparkled, so transparent that one could clearly see spiritual fish playing and chasing each other in the lake. Many of the spiritual fish in the spiritual lake had advanced to become Third-Tier Fish Yao Beasts. There were many Spirit Beasts around, lying prostrate by the lake to drink water, coexisting peacefully, presenting a harmonious scene.
Li Mu took out a nine-leaf azure lotus spiritual seed, his gaze focused on the spiritual seed.
