tianyun spirit ship
Rank: six-tier spirit treasure, Medium Grade.
Characteristics: Divine Speed Shuttle, Solid as a Rock, World-Destroying, Demon-Shattering Divine Soul.
Status: Full of Spirituality, Ready to Go.
The tianyun spirit ship is forged from a large amount of six-tier Tianyun Gold Stone and Profound Moon Heavy Iron, making it indestructible. It is one hundred and thirty-five zhang long, twenty zhang high, and fifteen zhang wide. It is equipped with a Yuan Protection Defense and twenty-four Star-Shattering Cannons. Each shot consumes one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones and has the power to destroy cities and shatter stars. It can travel one hundred thousand li in a day and has an invisibility effect.
It's actually a six-tier Spirit Ship!
Li Mu's eyes gleamed with brilliance. It was his first time seeing a Spirit Ship of this rank, and it was truly magnificent.
This Tianshang Honored One is truly extraordinary. A six-tier Spirit Ship is an important strategic weapon for major families.
Even more striking was that this Spirit Ship only required one person to control it. It also had hundreds of control Puppets to manage the operation of various parts within the warship.
It also served multiple functions such as escort and combat.
This Spirit Ship was practically a mobile combat fortress. His Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship was simply incomparable to it.
At the Illusory God Sect, the appearance of the tianyun spirit ship also drew countless Cultivators, all with expressions of shock and envy.
“Alright, let's depart immediately!” Tianshang Honored One said with a smile.
Just as Li Mu was about to fly onto the tianyun spirit ship, on the other side, a Cultivator who was about to leave via the large teleportation Formation suddenly stepped out and shouted loudly, “Dao Friend Li! Master Li, please wait a moment.”
This familiar voice made Li Mu, who was already flying towards the ship, suddenly stop and turn his head to look at the speaker.
Unexpectedly, among the crowd preparing to use the large teleportation Formation, True Lord Tianhong appeared, accompanied by forty Golden Core Peak Cultivators.
He flew forward, excitedly cupping his hands and saying, “Dao Friend Li, long time no see, how have you been recently?”
“I'm well. I didn't expect to meet you here. Where are you going?” Li Mu asked, looking at True Lord Tianhong in surprise.
True Lord Tianhong gave a wry smile and explained, “Recently, the Nine Demon Sect has been acting ruthlessly, successively destroying the Hundred Refinements Sect, the Celestial Evolution Sect, and the Tianquan Sect. Now, other Sects are in disarray, and many surrounding Cultivators have also fallen victim to the Nine Demon Sect. There's a strong trend of them wanting to completely wipe out all Sects in the Great Wilderness. Currently, many Cultivators are seeking refuge with powerful Sects.”
“Last time, I have to thank you for your help in saving our Yu Ling Sect. Now, the vast majority of Loose Cultivator Cultivators have joined the Yu Ling Sect. Due to the sudden increase in numbers, the Sect is in urgent need of supplies. I specifically need to go to the Central Continent to exchange for auxiliary cultivation materials.”
Li Mu nodded, understanding the Yu Ling Sect's predicament. However, one thing made him sigh: the Hundred Refinements Sect, which had come to assist the Yu Ling Sect that day, had actually been destroyed by the Nine Demon Sect.
True Lord Tianhong saw the two powerful individuals behind Li Mu, but he did not recognize anyone from the Kun Family. He took a step forward, bowed, and cupped his hands: “Yu Ling Sect, True Lord Tianhong greets the two sirs.”
“You may dispense with the formalities. What is Old Man Qing Wei doing now?” Tianshang Honored One inquired.
Old Man Qing Wei?
Upon hearing this, True Lord Tianhong's face changed drastically, feeling that his Sect had been insulted.
At this moment, Kunling Honored One stepped forward, stroked his beard, and smiled, “Is Revered Qing Wei still at the Yu Ling Sect?”
“Two Seniors, I don't know who you...” True Lord Tianhong was at a loss for words for a moment. He could sense that the white-robed old man beside him was especially terrifying, his Aura no weaker than that of the Purple Azure Thunder Beast God.
Is this a Void Refining Realm mighty figure?
As for the other black-robed old man, his cultivation had reached the Soul Transformation Realm Peak, which was extremely terrifying.
Seeing this, Li Mu quickly smiled and introduced, “These two Seniors are both old friends of Revered Qing Wei.”
Upon hearing this, True Lord Tianhong was instantly overjoyed and immediately reported, “Reporting to the two Seniors, the Grand Elder is currently still at the Yu Ling Sect. Not long ago, he just underwent the Soul Transformation Tribulation and advanced to Void Refining. He is currently consolidating his cultivation within the Sect.”
“What? He succeeded in advancing?” Kunling Honored One, who was already a close friend, immediately became agitated upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu was also somewhat surprised, but upon closer thought, when he left the Yu Ling Sect, Revered Qing Wei was already in the Late Stage Soul Transformation.
After the great battle with the Nine Demon Sect, having hovered between life and death, it was not impossible for him to achieve a Breakthrough by seizing the opportunity.
“Forget it, forget it, no more talking. Anyway, we'll pass by the Yu Ling Sect on our way to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. I want to see if he has truly stepped into the Void Refining Realm.” Kunling Honored One felt a bit sour. He was still busy traveling back and forth for his Undergoing Tribulation, while others had already advanced. Thinking about it made him feel stifled.
Tianshang Honored One stroked his beard and smiled, nodding in agreement. As for Li Mu, he also wanted to inquire about the Hundred Refinements Sect's Heavenly Fire.
The Yu Ling Sect and the Hundred Refinements Sect were allies. Previously, when the Yu Ling Sect faced difficulties, the Hundred Refinements Sect rushed to resolve the crisis. This time, the Hundred Refinements Sect was destroyed.
Logically speaking, as allies, the Yu Ling Sect would certainly not stand by and do nothing. The principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold' should be clear to Revered Qing Wei and Venerable Lei Hong more than anyone else.
But the result was this, so there must be other reasons!
However, this only piqued Li Mu's curiosity slightly. What he cared about most was the Heavenly Fire of the Hundred Refinements Sect.
Heavenly Fire is hard to find. So far, Li Mu has only obtained one type of Heavenly Fire.
The ‘Eightfold Heavenly Fire Tempering Method’ requires gathering 3 types of Heavenly Fire to Cultivate to the highest level, and now the Hundred Refinements Sect is gone just like that.
The information about the Hundred Refinements Sect's Heavenly Fire is crucial. He must find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fire no matter what. Revered Qing Wei and others might know some clues.
“Dao Friend Li, oh, there's another important matter I need to tell you.” At this moment, True Lord Tianhong's expression became especially serious.
“What is it?”
“Dao Friend Li, Venerable Tianyin of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and two Soul Transformation Cultivators, have been searching for your whereabouts. Previously, they came to the Sect and made a ruckus, but they were driven away by Beast God. The Grand Elder then announced a false message, saying that you had been staying in the Yu Ling Sect, to confuse them and help you get away. Also, Tianjue Demonic Venerable has also been inquiring about you everywhere. Not long after you left, he came to our Sect and killed two Inner Sect Disciples of our Sect. Their souls were extracted and read, so your information must have been known to him. It is said that Tianjue Demonic Venerable's cultivation has already reached the Late Stage Soul Transformation Realm. I don't know what evil cultivation he practiced, but he is impervious to blades and spears, possesses immense strength, and can easily contend with Void Refining powerhouses.” True Lord Tianhong relayed all the information he knew to Li Mu.
Li Mu's expression became serious, and he smiled earnestly, “Mm, I'll be careful!”
“No… Dao Friend Li, how can you still smile? He's a Demonic Venerable! Even the Sect Master needs to treat him with caution.” True Lord Tianhong saw Li Mu's relaxed demeanor and asked worriedly for him.
“I'll pay attention!” Li Mu smiled slightly, not explaining too much.
With his current methods, a mere Tianjue Demonic Venerable no longer posed any threat. If he dared to come, he would simply be killed.
He wasn't the only one whose strength had increased.
True Lord Tianhong saw that Li Mu didn't want to say more and wisely kept quiet.
Afterward, Li Mu bid farewell to True Lord Tianhong and boarded the Tianyuan Spirit Ship with Kunling Honored One's people, then transformed into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared into the horizon.
......
Inside the Tianyuan Spirit Ship, Li Mu sat cross-legged on the Spirit Ship's deck. The ship moved extremely fast, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be in fast forward.
The endless strong winds generated during high-speed flight were isolated by the Formation, leaving the deck perfectly calm.
The tianyun spirit ship flew for half a day and arrived outside the Yu Ling Sect.
“Who goes there?!”
The power of the six-tier spirit treasure emanating from the Tianyuan Spirit Ship made the Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples outside the Sect tremble in fear, and they immediately sent a message.
Inside the Yu Ling Sect, countless figures flew out, numbering over a hundred Nascent Soul True Lords, moving through the air with grave expressions, all standing within the Thunder Domain Formation, vigilantly staring at the periphery.
At this moment, Tianshang Honored One and Kunling Honored One both slowly floated into the air.
Kunling Honored One refined his True Essence within his mouth, then loudly proclaimed, “Old Ghost Qing Wei, I have arrived. Why do you not quickly come out to greet me?”
The deep voice resounded through the heavens and earth, and visible sound waves rippled outwards, crashing against the Thunder Domain Formation and causing ripples.
“How dare you! How dare you call the Grand Elder by his name! Who exactly are you people?!”
“It's not someone from the Nine Demon Sect. Where are these people from?”
“Hmph, I advise you not to be presumptuous, lest Beast God come out and swallow you whole.”
The Nascent Soul True Lord Cultivators within the Formation all shouted angrily.
Just then, Li Mu stepped on his Spiritual Artifact, floating slightly. Instantly, the previously noisy shouts abruptly ceased.
Except for some Nascent Soul True Lords who had just joined the Yu Ling Sect and didn't recognize Li Mu, who were still shouting, but in the next second, their companions beside them quickly covered their mouths.
“Shut up, shut up! That's Li Jianxian, they're not enemies.”
“Don't speak nonsense! That is our Yu Ling Sect's benefactor. All of you, shut up.”
...
The Nascent Soul True Lords of the Yu Ling Sect who had received Li Mu's favor were all overjoyed and flew out of the Formation.
Seeing the familiar faces of his Fellow Daoists, Li Mu couldn't help but smile and nod in greeting.
“Dao Friend Li, long time no see!”
“Dao Friend Li, I've missed you so much! How about coming to my room for a chat tonight?”
“Please, come in quickly! The Grand Elder and the Sect Master will surely be delighted to see you.”
...
The Nascent Soul cultivators rushed to greet Li Mu.
Tianshang Honored One smiled awkwardly. A Void Refining Realm powerhouse and a Soul Transformation Realm Peak Cultivator were actually less popular than a Nascent Soul True Lord. It was utterly ridiculous.
The Yu Ling Sect Cultivators surrounded Li Mu like stars embracing the moon.
Li Mu also didn't expect himself to be so popular, almost getting submerged by the crowd.
“Fellow Daoists, please, not like this. And who's that, don't touch me…”
“Fellow Daoist Hongyao, don't mess around.”
Li Mu found it a bit overwhelming. Some female Cultivators even took advantage of the chaos to touch him a few times, leaving him speechless.
Soon, saviors arrived. Venerable Lei Hong and Qingwei Venerable appeared before everyone, arriving through the air.
“Don't be presumptuous! Quickly move aside!”
Venerable Lei Hong revealed his figure, waved his hand, and cursed with a smile.
The Cultivators surrounding Li Mu scattered like birds, clearing the way.
Li Mu emerged, his clothes disheveled, with rouge marks on his cheeks, looking as if he had just walked out of a spring palace, extremely comical.
“Two Seniors, long time no see!”
Li Mu waved his hand, and a dust-removing Spell cleared the marks from his body.
Venerable Lei Hong and Revered Qing Wei both smiled, then their gazes turned to Kunling Honored One and Tianshang Honored One.
Qingwei Venerable and Tianshang Honored One, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, immediately met enthusiastically, recounting old stories from the past Years.
Venerable Lei Hong couldn't get a word in and landed in front of Li Mu.
“Dao Friend Li, how are you with Senior Tian Shang and them?”
“It's a long story, perhaps it's a kind of fate.” Li Mu said with a shake of his head and a smile.
“Fate?” Venerable Lei Hong frowned, and just as he was about to continue asking, Tianshang Honored One and the others descended with laughter.
No, it should be said that only Tianshang Honored One and Revered Qing Wei were beaming, while Kunling Honored One was full of resentment.
“Dao Friend Li, it's rare for you to return. Today, let us fulfill our duties as hosts. Last time you left in a hurry, we didn't get to properly thank you.” Revered Qing Wei said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu's gaze fell upon Tianshang Honored One. After all, this trip was primarily for the po mo xin fruit, and whether to stay or leave was not his decision.
Tianshang Honored One stroked his beard and smiled, “That would be excellent. Anyway, the po mo xin fruit isn't truly ripe yet. Qing Wei and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's good to catch up. It's not too late to set off in a few days.”
“But I don't want to…” Kunling Honored One said resentfully.
“No, you really do. We haven't officially met in hundreds of Years. It's rare to come here, plus I've just had a Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm. As my good friend, shouldn't you celebrate with me properly?” Revered Qing Wei, now having stepped into the Void Refining Realm, had his appearance rejuvenated, transforming into a thirty-something-year-old, exuding a carefree Aura.
In contrast, Kunling Honored One, with less than a hundred Years left in his life, appeared increasingly aged, with the Aura of twilight becoming more pronounced on him.
“Alright, Kun Ling, stop throwing a tantrum. Qing Wei and the others are mainly inviting Little Friend Li.” Tianshang Honored One said with a smile, trying to persuade him.
Li Mu smiled slightly and did not refuse this decision. He still wanted to inquire about the Heavenly Fire, so how could he leave now?
Thus, the few reached a consensus and entered the Yu Ling Sect together.
Thus, the group arrived at the spiritual mountain where Revered Qing Wei resided. The scenery here was beautiful, and a relatively luxurious residence had been built.
Next to it was a spiritual mountain waterfall, where the Spiritual Qi was dense, making it an elegant place. The once tranquil residence was now bustling with activity.
All kinds of fine wines and delicious dishes were constantly being brought in and out of the residence. In the spacious courtyard, an Eight Immortals table was set, laden with exquisite and extremely luxurious food.
Venerable Lei Hong even summoned several beautiful dancing girls to perform and entertain everyone.
“Come, come, come, Dao Friend Li, Tian Shang, Kun Ling, quickly sit down.” Qingwei Venerable was beaming, greeting everyone.
Li Mu and the others sat down. In the distant sky, thunderclouds rolled, and thunder rumbled. Then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and suddenly struck down outside the residence.
With a loud boom, the ground suddenly exploded, creating a hole. Dust immediately billowed, but soon, a massive figure slowly walked out from the ethereal shadow, “Little Friend Li, I didn't expect to meet you so soon, haha, how have you been?”
The Purple Azure Thunder Beast's figure quickly shrank, and with a flash, it arrived in the inner courtyard to meet everyone.
“Beast God, long time no see, how have you been?” Tianshang Honored One and Kunling Honored One both rose to their feet.
“I'm well. Thanks to the Spiritual Artifact Little Friend Li gave me, my injuries have healed, and I've returned to my Peak state.” The Purple Azure Thunder Beast's Aura was now contained, having recovered to the Peak strength of a Seven-rank True Spirit, exuding a vast and terrifying Aura.
