I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 656 - 357: Countless Spirit Seeds

Quickly, Xu Shaoqi led Li Mu to the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion. This floor was entirely different from the ones below; although there were fewer bookshelves, each one was filled with precious and rare ancient books. These ancient books had been meticulously collected by the Sect Elders over the generations, each containing unfathomable mysteries.

Xu Shaoqi pointed to one of the bookshelves and respectfully said to Li Mu, "Elder Li, the books on this shelf are all ancient texts related to the Chaos Secret Realm. Please take your time to read through them, and if you need anything, feel free to let me know."

Li Mu nodded, expressing his gratitude. He walked to the bookshelf and began to carefully peruse the ancient books.

Opening each of these ancient texts was like opening a mysterious world, drawing Li Mu in involuntarily, and making him forget the passage of time.

...

As night fell, the lights of the Scripture Pavilion flickered in the tranquil air, exuding a mysterious yet solemn atmosphere.

Li Mu sifted through the ancient books one by one, completely immersed in the sea of texts. As time passed, he gradually formed a clearer understanding of the concept of the Chaos Secret Realm.

A Secret Realm is a fragmented world that drifts outside of the Main World, existing independently yet having countless connections with the Main World.

These Secret Realms contain the most primitive and purest forces of heaven and earth, making them dream cultivation sacred lands for cultivators. Secret Realms exist in various forms and have myriad attributes. For example, the previously mentioned Cangyuan Secret Realm by the Kun Family is a Secret Realm predominantly featuring Magic Wood Dual Element, where many high-tier Spirit Plants grow, and even some that do not exist in the Main World.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect seems to control several Secret Realms as well.

As for the Chaos Secret Realm, it is the top grade among all Secret Realms. It is said to be a fragment left behind from the creation of the universe, containing the Origin of Heavenly Dao—the Power of Chaos.

The Power of Chaos is one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in this world. Gaining even a wisp of Power of Chaos Origin could forge an incomparable Dao Foundation for a cultivator, aiding them in comprehending the Great Dao and achieving supreme immortality.

While flipping through the ancient texts, Li Mu marveled at the power of the Chaos Secret Realm. It surely harbors precious Dao foundational objects coveted even by Daoist Monarchs.

However, though he had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, he was still just a small figure within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. The treasures and opportunities within the Chaos Secret Realm were both a huge temptation and a significant challenge for him.

In order to enter the Chaos Secret Realm and seize the opportunities for enlightenment without drawing attention, his current cultivation was still far from enough. At least promotion to Refining Void or even the Integration Realm was necessary before considering entering the Chaos Secret Realm.

Thus, Li Mu silently made a decision in his heart and began pondering how to conceal the Shifting Sub-array leading to the Chaos Secret Realm from the Seven Gods Mountain.

The Five Elements Shifting Array of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Grand Array is the key to accessing the Chaos Secret Realm. If it were discovered, it could bring endless trouble. To ensure his and the Secret Realm’s safety, he must devise a concealment Array to hide this Sub-array.

Soon, with a decision made in his heart, Li Mu set the ancient books down, took his leave of Xu Zhishu, and walked straight out of the Scripture Pavilion.

After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Li Mu flew on his sword to Sword Concealment Peak. He already had a clear plan: first, visit the Contribution Hall to exchange for some High-tier Spirit Seeds, High-tier Spiritual Materials, and Auxiliary Cultivation Materials necessary for his upcoming cultivation and to plant high-tier Yin Yang Five Elements Spirit Plants. Then, he would visit the Dharma Transmission Hall to exchange for some Divine Sense Techniques and Cultivation Techniques to enhance his cultivation and strength.

Soon after, Li Mu arrived at the Contribution Hall of Sword Concealment Peak.

Sword Concealment Peak, unlike the sharp prominence of Celestial Sword Peak, focused more on the restraint and accumulation of Sword Intent. The summit was shrouded in mist, resembling an immortal realm.

Arriving at the front of the Contribution Hall, Li Mu saw its doors wide open, with disciples coming and going continuously. These disciples were almost all experts with Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation cultivation, exhibiting sharp Sword Intent with outstanding talents, each one an elite of the sect.

"Disciple greets the Elder!"

While Li Mu was pausing to observe, a disciple waiting in line to enter the Contribution Hall noticed him and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Would you like to exchange for materials, Elder? Please proceed ahead!"

Upon hearing this, several disciples in line saw Li Mu joining from behind and respectfully made way. Others followed suit, allowing Li Mu to go first.

For a moment, faced with the courtesy of so many disciples, Li Mu felt a bit embarrassed,

when a gentle yet powerful voice rang out, "Is it your first time at the Contribution Hall, Fellow Daoist? Why compete with the ordinary disciples? Come with me through the Elder’s passage."

Li Mu turned his head to see a middle-aged man speaking. He, too, wore a Sect Elder’s Robe, exuding a calm aura, smiling as he approached Li Mu, while indicating for him to follow.

The two walked side by side, casually chatting. After simple introductions, Li Mu learned the other party’s name—Qi Yun, the Steward Elder of Sword Holding Peak, with cultivation at the Void Refining Initial Realm. Qi Yun wore a cyan robe, with a long sword hanging at his waist, exuding a resplendent aura of Sword Intent.

"I didn’t expect to meet the newly appointed Elder Li. What a pleasure!" Qi Yun said sincerely.

Li Mu responded with a slight smile and humility, "Elder Qi overpraises me, I am just a newly appointed elder, having just joined the sect, and still have much to learn."
