Three days passed in a flash.
Li Mu, accompanied by a group of Seven Profound Sect high-ranking officials, respectfully saw Tang Shihua off.
"Sect Master Li, I entrust the Seven Profound Sect to you from now on. Everyone, we shall meet again another day!" Tang Shihua bowed to everyone, then departed on his sword.
"Elder Tang, please take care on your journey." Li Mu watched Tang Shihua's figure gradually disappear from everyone's sight.
From this day forward, the Seven Profound Sect officially changed its surname to Li. The Elders of the Sect withdrew their gazes, looking at Li Mu, awaiting his instructions.
"Sect Master, what arrangements do you have for the Sect?" Fifth Elder Ge Xinyu stepped forward and proactively inquired.
With the change in the position of Seven Profound Sect Sect Master, the high-ranking officials were inevitably a little uneasy, unsure what kind of thoughts and arrangements this new Sect Master would have for the entire Sect.
"It will be the same as when Sect Master Tang was here, everything remains as usual. However, next, I will find a spiritual land on each peak, set up formations, and plant some high-grade Spiritual Plants. I hope the Peak Masters will be accommodating." Li Mu smiled slightly, indicating.
Upon hearing this, the Elders were all stunned. They never expected his request to be so simple: just Cultivate a spiritual land on each peak to plant Spiritual Plants.
"Sect Master, what are you saying? The entire Seven Gods Mountain has already been allocated to you. You can take whatever spiritual lands you need. Our respective peaks will fully cooperate with you." Third Elder Qin Wentong reacted the fastest and immediately stated his position.
"That's right, Sect Master, just take what you need!"
"Indeed!"
The other Elders echoed.
"Thank you then. If any of you have a need to refine Spirit Treasures, prepare the Artifact Refining spiritual materials, and you can come find me!"
Li Mu smiled slightly in gratitude, embracing the Dao.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Elders all lit up.
"That's truly wonderful. Sect Master's words, we will certainly engrave them in our hearts." Fifth Elder Ge Xinyu said delightedly.
"Sect Master! Can you refine a sixth-grade spiritual sword? I just happen to want to refine a gold-elemental spiritual sword." Fang Shixin asked excitedly.
"Sect Master is so righteous, we are endlessly grateful. If there is truly a need to refine Spirit Treasures, we will definitely inform Sect Master at the first Opportunity, and we hope Sect Master will provide some guidance at that time." Third Elder Qin Wentong immediately cupped his hands and requested.
Facing everyone's requests and expectations, Li Mu responded with a smile: "No problem! If you all have nothing else, please go about your business! If you need anything, just come find me anytime."
Upon hearing this, the Elders cupped their hands and withdrew, dispersing to their respective duties.
Soon, Li Mu began to wander around Seven Gods Mountain. His figure landed on the summit of Golden Sword Peak, where he gazed at the Gold Essence Formation pillar of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Great Array. This formation pillar resembled a giant golden pillar, standing tall on the mountaintop, emitting powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
Li Mu's Divine Sense entered the nine storage spiritual pearl, summoning seven gold-elemental spiritual swords. Under his Divine Thought control, these spiritual swords seemed to be imbued with sentience, automatically arranging themselves into a formation. With the swords as brushes and the golden origin Spiritual Qi as ink, they began to re-engrave the formation patterns on the ancient formation pillar. Each stroke was precise, and each line was full of power.
Under Li Mu's carving, the ancient formation pillar seemed to shed the traces of Years. The originally blurred formation patterns gradually became clear and visible, emitting an even more dazzling light, as if imbued with new life.
With a "buzz," the formation pillar suddenly vibrated. A powerful suction force emanated from the formation pillar, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged towards it, as if being pulled by an invisible force. Li Mu's expression was solemn, knowing that this was a precursor to the formation pillar's reactivation. He dared not relax in the slightest, continuing to use the swords as brushes to carve the formation patterns.
As time passed, the light emitted by the formation pillar grew increasingly intense. The entire Golden Sword Peak was enveloped by this light, as if it had transformed into a golden world. At this moment, the formation patterns on the formation pillar had been completely carved, and each formation pattern seemed to have come alive, constantly pulsating and rotating.
Suddenly, a golden beam of light shot up from the formation pillar, piercing through the clouds, emitting an even more powerful golden origin spiritual power fluctuation.
The Disciples of Golden Sword Peak felt this powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuation and came to investigate out of curiosity. Fang Shixin arrived in a hurry with a group of Golden Sword Peak Disciples. They immediately saw Li Mu standing beside the formation pillar.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" Fang Shixin led the Disciples in bowing, likely aware that the change in the formation pillar was Li Mu's doing.
Li Mu looked at them, smiled and nodded, then explained with a smile: "I apologize for disturbing Elder Fang. Seven Profound Mountain has a Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Great Array, but due to thousands of Years of erosion, the formation patterns have become blurred. I came today to re-engrave the formation patterns, to revitalize the Great Array. It seems to have achieved initial success now."
Upon hearing Li Mu's explanation, Fang Shixin and the Disciples all showed expressions of surprise. They knew that this Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Great Array was of great significance to the Seven Profound Sect. It could not only gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and improve Cultivation effects, but also symbolize the Sect's strength. Now, with Li Mu's restoration, the Great Array was radiating powerful vitality again, which was undoubtedly a joyous occasion for the Seven Profound Sect.
"Sect Master is wise and mighty, truly a blessing for our Seven Profound Sect!" Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and said gratefully.
"Sect Master is wise!"
The Disciples also echoed Fang Shixin's words, becoming even more respectful of this new Sect Master.
Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be overly polite. He looked around, his gaze falling on a spacious spiritual land. Although this spiritual land seemed ordinary, it was close to the formation pillar and contained abundant golden origin Spiritual Qi, making it very suitable for developing into a spiritual field and planting some gold-elemental Spiritual Plants.
He pointed to that spiritual land and said to Fang Shixin: "Elder Fang, I will use that spiritual land to develop a spiritual field and plant some Spiritual Plants. To protect the growth of the Spiritual Plants, I will set up some formations. In the future, please tell the Disciples not to easily approach that area, to avoid accidentally entering the formations and causing unnecessary trouble."
Fang Shixin nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood Li Mu's intention. He knew that as the Sect Master, Li Mu was intimately familiar with every inch of the Sect's land, and his actions must be for the overall benefit of the Sect. So, he solemnly replied: "Yes! Sect Master, rest assured, I will immediately inform the Disciples not to approach that spiritual land."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, then continued to cast the Earth Dragon technique, encircling a thousand mu of spiritual fields near the formation pillar, preparing to plant high-grade Spiritual Plants.
After developing a thousand mu of spiritual fields on Golden Sword Peak, Li Mu repeated the same method, going to the other six Ling Peaks to re-engrave the formation pillars, delineate spiritual lands, and set up spiritual formations.
Time flew by like a white steed, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye.
Li Mu was currently at the summit of Yangshen Peak, with Wen Bisheng, the Peak Master of Yangshen Peak, and a group of high-ranking officials from Yangshen Peak standing beside him. They had arrived early, respectfully welcoming this new Sect Master with reverence for Li Mu. Everyone's gaze was focused on Li Mu, witnessing his magnificent feat of re-engraving the Sect's Great Array.
These past few days, Li Mu's deeds of re-engraving formation pillars, delineating spiritual lands, and planting Spiritual Plants on various peaks had spread throughout the entire Seven Profound Sect. His every move touched the hearts of countless Disciples, becoming a hot topic of discussion within the Sect.
However, this new Sect Master did not show much enthusiasm for the daily management of the Seven Profound Sect. He did not interfere much with the regulations of the previous Sect Master Tang, nor did he make large-scale adjustments to the operation of the Seven Profound Sect. This surprised many Disciples and completely relieved the high-ranking officials.
"It's just delineating some spiritual lands to plant Spiritual Plants! Seven Gods Mountain has plenty of spiritual fields and spiritual lands!" This was the thought in the minds of the Seven Profound Sect's high-ranking officials.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
With these crisp and powerful sounds, Li Mu controlled the seven spiritual swords like streaks of golden lightning, drawing graceful arcs in the air. Wherever the sword tips pointed, the hard rocks shattered into powder and scattered.
As time passed, the Yang attribute formation pillar suddenly let out a "hum," as if awakened from its dormant power, bursting forth with intense formation light, like a blazing hot sun, dazzlingly brilliant. This formation light contained powerful Heaven and Earth spiritual power, constantly converging from all directions, echoing the formation pillars of the other six peaks.
Soon, an invisible bridge seemed to appear in the sky, tightly connecting the seven peak tops of Seven Gods Mountain. The formation pillars of the other six peaks also echoed, emitting bursts of hums. Together with the Yang attribute formation pillar, they formed a huge formation, like an invisible net, continuously gathering the spiritual power from Heaven and Earth.
In the sky, spiritual power surged like a tide, forming a giant spiritual power vortex. That vortex emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire Seven Gods Mountain, making the entire Sect bathed in this endless Heaven and Earth spiritual power. At this moment, Seven Gods Mountain seemed to have transformed into a fairyland full of vitality and vigor, captivating the heart.
As the spiritual power continuously gathered, every corner of Seven Gods Mountain was filled with the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi. Those originally silent Spiritual Plants and spiritual flowers, now nourished by the spiritual power, burst forth with vitality, blooming with even more splendid colors. The Disciples within the Sect felt this unprecedented exhilaration and power, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Wow! The Spiritual Qi has increased several times!"
"That's incredible! Sect Master is mighty!"
"So, our Sect still possesses such a Great Array, it's amazing!"
"With this concentration of spiritual power, it won't be long before my Cultivation breaks through again!"
"Sect Master is mighty!"
The Disciples of Yangshen Peak cheered with joy, their gazes filled with delight and admiration for Li Mu.
"Thank you, Sect Master. If it weren't for your intervention, this Spirit Gathering Great Array would not have had the chance to be reactivated." Wen Bisheng, the Peak Master of Yangshen Peak, walked up to Li Mu and cupped his hands in thanks.
"It's a small matter, nothing to worry about!"
Li Mu waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the Yangshen formation pillar, his attention drawn by the content it displayed.
Under the Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits, the entire Great Array's information was fully presented, revealing the secrets it contained to Li Mu.
【"Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array (Mother) - One of the Yangshen Formation Pillars"】
【"Grade: Seventh-grade Formation"】
【"Characteristics: Gathers Five Elements, converges Yin and Yang, mother-child dual formations, converges Chaos, ..."】
【"Formed with the Five Elements foundation as its core, supplemented by seventh-grade Profound Yellow Stone, seventh-grade Jianmu Root, seventh-grade Undetermined Spiritual Water, seventh-grade Fiery Fire Crystal, and seventh-grade Thick Earth's Dusk, integrated with Yin and Yang. This formation is the Mother Array, gathering Yin and Yang and the power of the Five Elements. It can cooperate with the Child Array: Five Elements Shifting Array, to shift the Five Elements Qi, break through space-time barriers, and reach a certain Secret Realm."】
Looking at the complete attributes displayed by the formation pillar, Li Mu was completely stunned. He never expected that this Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array had another hidden secret.
Li Mu's heart rate gradually accelerated. The true purpose of this formation was not merely to gather Spiritual Qi; it was just a Mother Array. Its true function was to cooperate with another Child Array—the Five Elements Shifting Array—to shift the Five Elements Qi, break through space-time barriers, and reach a certain Secret Realm.
The discovery of this secret made Li Mu's heart surge like rolling waves, both startled and delighted. He was startled that this formation concealed such unfathomable secrets, and its immense power made him worry that if this secret were inadvertently leaked, it might implicate him and pose a threat. He was delighted that he had unexpectedly discovered the true purpose of this formation, which was undoubtedly a huge Treasure Trove for him.
The destination of this Child Array's transmission likely concerns the Chaotic Secret Realm. What exactly is this Chaotic Secret Realm? Why does it relate to the Opportunity for Dao, and why are even Dao Lords so eager to know about it?
These questions lingered in Li Mu's mind, filling him with curiosity and anticipation for the Chaotic Secret Realm.
Now, Li Mu's most pressing question was where this Child Array was located. He needed to find this Child Array first before it could cooperate with the Mother Array to open the door to the Chaotic Secret Realm.
With a turn of his mind, Li Mu immediately had a target. Some time ago, Tang Shihua had taken him on a tour of Seven Gods Mountain, explaining in detail the major and minor affairs of the Sect, and even taking him to the Sect's Treasure Trove.
Li Mu clearly remembered that within the Treasure Trove, there were many complex formations and Restrictions, and it was highly probable that this Child Array was hidden among them.
Recalling his previous dissatisfaction with the formations in the Sect's Treasure Trove, Li Mu had originally planned to tidy them up once he was free. Now, it seemed that the traces of the Child Array might be hidden within those formations and Restrictions.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, which spiritual land do you want to choose? How about this one!" The voice of Wen Bisheng, the Peak Master of Yangshen Peak, interrupted Li Mu's contemplation. He pointed to a lush green spiritual land ahead, saying excitedly.
Li Mu came back to his senses and looked in the direction Wen Bisheng was pointing. Below the Yangshen formation pillar, a spiritual land was located on the mountainside of Yangshen Peak, surrounded by swirling Spiritual Qi and lush vegetation. It was spacious and clearly a top-grade spiritual land.
Li Mu nodded slightly, indicating approval: "This spiritual land is indeed good, with abundant Spiritual Qi. Let's choose here."
Wen Bisheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, a look of delight on his face: "Sect Master is wise! This spiritual land is indeed an excellent choice. It will surely bring abundant harvests in the future."
Li Mu smiled faintly, saying nothing more. At this moment, his attention was not here at all. His mind kept replaying the text displayed on the formation pillar, pondering what this Chaotic Secret Realm truly was, and what mysteries and Treasure Troves it concealed.
To gain a deeper understanding of this Chaotic Secret Realm, Li Mu decided to make time to visit the Scripture Pavilion of the Profound Heaven Sword Formation and thoroughly investigate what this Chaotic Secret Realm truly was!
