I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 744: Chapter 398: Master Qingyang (Part 1)

Watching Xiaobai swallow the Soul Realm Pearl, Li Mu frowned slightly, just about to say something, when suddenly, a unexpected change occurred.

Originally quiet, Xiaobai’s body suddenly trembled, emitting a strong black spirit light, a powerful and dignified aura spreading from it, surprisingly similar to the Integration Realm powerhouse aura Li Mu felt earlier.

"Chirp chirp!"

Xiaobai angrily cried out, in an instant generating a powerful divine soul power within its body, suppressing it immediately.

However, the remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul, seemingly sensing mortal danger, burst forth with tremendous strength, attempting to break free from Xiaobai’s devouring, and manipulated the Soul Realm Pearl to escape from its ’mouth’.

A duck at the lips, how could one let it fly away!

"Chirp!"

Xiaobai, extremely furious, suddenly erupted with a deafening roar, powerful soul power instantly soaring to the sky, and within this light, a giant golden phantom slowly emerged, a massive golden Gu insect phantom, dignified and sacred, as if a god walking from ancient times.

With the appearance of the golden Gu insect, the surrounding space trembled, the soul power it emitted was several times stronger than the previous black spirit light. Clearly, Xiaobai utilized its most powerful force to counter the remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul’s counterattack.

"Friend, please let it stop, I..." At this moment, Li Mu received a weak divine thought, surprisingly coming from the remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul.

Li Mu slightly frowned, somewhat surprised that the remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul could send out divine thought.

"Xiaobai, wait a moment."

At this time, Xiaobai was about to fully exert itself to completely swallow the Soul Realm Pearl, Li Mu hurriedly stopped it, preventing the devouring of the Soul Realm Pearl.

Though Xiaobai was somewhat reluctant, it obediently stopped, looking at Li Mu with a puzzled gaze and spat out the Soul Realm Pearl.

Li Mu looked at the Soul Realm Pearl appearing in front of him, infused divine thought, knowingly questioned: "Who are you? Why do you want to stop Xiaobai from swallowing the Soul Realm Pearl?"

The remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul bitterly smiled, some helplessness revealed in its divine thought: "I am named Master Qingyang, this Soul Realm Pearl is my lifebound treasure, containing my lifelong cultivation and essence. When I fell, a wisp of my soul was hidden within to barely survive. Young friend, this Gu insect is incredibly miraculous. Once it goes into its mouth, I fear I shall completely perish soon."

After hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly in his heart, naturally understanding his predicament. It was because he did not know how to handle these remnants of the Integration powerhouse’s soul that he handed the Soul Realm Pearl to Xiaobai. Now that the remnants of the Integration Realm powerhouse’s soul can communicate, the matter becomes easier.

Li Mu smiled slightly, reassured Xiaobai, then looked at the Soul Realm Pearl and continued transmitting divine thought: "Elder Qingyang, I am junior Li Mu. Since you do not want to completely perish, I surely won’t strike ruthlessly. However, I wonder if you are willing to coexist peacefully with me?"

Hearing this, the remnants of Master Qingyang’s soul were silent for a moment, knowing his current predicament. If he did not agree with Li Mu, he feared he might truly perish completely. He hurriedly transmitted with divine thought: "I am now but a wisp of soul, no longer having the qualification to bargain. As long as young friend can preserve my soul from dispersing, I naturally wish to coexist peacefully with you."

Li Mu heard Master Qingyang’s response, relaxed slightly, nodded slightly, and transmitted with divine thought: "In that case, I won’t act cruelly either. I request elder be reassured. If there’s a chance, I am willing to help elder repair the Soul Realm Pearl and reconstruct the soul."

Master Qingyang’s soul felt the goodwill from Li Mu, immediately relaxed, and hurriedly responded: "Thank you, young friend. I know the Soul Realm Pearl is greatly attractive to your Gu insect, but my soul remains within. If devoured, I fear it will completely vanish into Heaven and Earth."

After hearing this, Li Mu was moved in his heart and asked: "Elder, having fallen, how were you able to keep your soul from scattering, and still hide within the Soul Realm Pearl?"

Master Qingyang sighed and said: "Years ago, I battled fiercely with a formidable enemy. Though I eventually killed him, I suffered grave injuries, nearing the end of my life. Upon falling, I hid a wisp of my soul in my lifebound treasure Soul Realm Pearl, hoping to find a chance to rebuild my divine soul and regain new vitality. However, as years passed, the soul power within the Soul Realm Pearl gradually dissipated, and my soul grew increasingly weak. Had I not encountered you, being awakened by your divine thought, I might soon completely perish."

After hearing this, Li Mu understood inwardly. Unexpectedly, this Integration Realm powerhouse had such a tortuous experience. He pondered slightly and said: "Elder, I feel deeply sympathetic to your plight. Xiaobai is my partner, and its devouring of the Soul Realm Pearl is out of instinct. I wonder what elder plans? Perhaps I can lend you a hand."

Hearing this, Master Qingyang immediately felt a glimmer of hope, hurriedly transmitted his divine thought: "As long as young friend can prevent my soul from perishing, I am exceedingly grateful. If you are willing to help me reconstruct my divine soul, I am willing to impart all my knowledge to you, teach you all I’ve learned in my life. As for the method of reconstructing the divine soul, it is not difficult."

Li Mu heard this, a stir in his heart. What Master Qingyang mentioned, the "method to reconstruct the divine soul" is a secret not passed down, extremely valuable for cultivators. It is undoubtedly a protective secret technique for potential future mishaps leading to demise.

"Elder, should you have trust in me, I shall certainly give my utmost effort to assist you in reconstructing your divine soul." Li Mu hurriedly transmitted divine thought and continued.

With no other options, Master Qingyang dared not conceal and began narrating the various methods to reconstruct the divine soul in full detail.
