I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 752: Chapter 402: Yin Sha Storm

Li Mu emerged from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion and immediately stored it carefully in the Storage Compartment.

The Cyan Moon True Dragon hurried over to Li Mu to inform him of the sudden situation.

"Master, two Thunder Ships have slowed down; there is a Yin Sha Storm ahead that seems impassable. In addition, a Void Refining Cultivator named Wan Shaoming has sent a thought transmission, requesting an audience with you. As per your instructions, I’ve told him to wait a moment."

"Alright! I’ll go take a look." Li Mu nodded knowingly and proceeded to walk out of the cabin of the Earth Element Spirit Ship.

On the deck of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu’s garments fluttered as he gazed into the distance, witnessing an exceedingly magnificent scene.

A white line appeared on the horizon, as if it were the boundary between Heaven and Earth, dividing the firmament in two—on one side lay a deep blue sky, while on the other was a chaotic and obscure grayness.

As the Earth Element Spirit Ship drew closer, the white line gradually expanded into a vast storm region. The raging winds howled, and dark clouds rolled, as if countless Fierce Ghosts roared within, causing one’s heart to tremble. The center of the Yin Sha Storm was a vortex of flashing lightning and thunder, with dark clouds pressing down, slowly spinning and swallowing everything around it.

Li Mu stood on the deck, feeling the cold aura transmitted from the distant storm, involuntarily shivering.

The chilling wind that brushed past carried an extreme Yin Evil Qi, and even with his current cultivation, he felt a terrifying chill. This chill reached his Divine Soul, and if one stayed in such an environment for too long, the Divine Soul would suffer devastating damage.

The Earth Element Spirit Ship and the two Thunderbolt Ships on either side had both slowed down.

Seeing Li Mu’s figure, in the next moment, a figure flew out from a Thunder Spirit Ship and landed steadily in front of him.

"Greetings, Master Li!" The newcomer, clad in a cyan Magic Robe, was burly and tough-looking. It was Wan Shaoming, the captain of the Thunder Spirit Ship and the commander responsible for escorting Li Mu on this expedition to the Extreme North Icefield with the Treasure Hunting Team.

"Commander Wan, why has a Yin Sha Storm appeared ahead? Is there no way through?" Li Mu asked with concern as he looked at the swirling Yin Sha Storm in the distance.

The journey to the Extreme North Icefield was quite arduous, dealing with either High-tier Demon Beasts or various special situations.

Fortunately, the Earth Element Spirit Ship and the two Thunder Warships escorting it were High-tier Spirit Ships, unmatched in speed, with elite cultivator squads on board for protection. Thus far, Li Mu’s journey had been relatively smooth.

But now, encountering a Yin Sha Storm ahead posed no small problem.

Wan Shaoming looked at Li Mu and said in a deep voice, "Master Li, we have already entered the depths of the Extreme North Icefield. Encountering a Yin Sha Storm is quite normal. The Yin Sha Storms are a most peculiar phenomenon on the Extreme North Icefield. This Yin Sha Storm is no small matter; it’s the natural power of Heaven and Earth, containing extremely strong Yin Sha Qi. Forcing our Spirit Ships through may cause considerable damage. Moreover, the Yin Sha Qi within the storm greatly affects a cultivator’s Divine Soul, and any carelessness could result in severe injury."

Wan Shaoming paused before continuing to inform Li Mu: "The way these storms appear is extremely unpredictable, containing terrifying Yin Sha Qi. Even High-tier Spirit Ships and Integration Realm Cultivators must avoid them. Whether we can pass depends on the storm’s size. Generally, if the storm’s range is not wide, there’s a possibility of bypassing it. But if it’s a large Yin Sha Storm, we can only wait for it to dissipate and calm down on its own."

Hearing this, Li Mu’s face darkened. The Yin Sha Storm ahead stretched endlessly, across countless miles, far from being a small-scale phenomenon.

"Commander Wan, how long do we need to wait for this Yin Sha Storm to calm down?" Li Mu asked, frowning with concern, not wanting it to delay his time too much.

Wan Shaoming shook his head and sighed, "The time it takes for a Yin Sha Storm to calm down depends entirely on its size and the depletion of its power. Sometimes it could be just a few days, but other times it could take months, or even longer. All we can do now is wait, while also preparing to detour."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu felt somewhat anxious. For this journey to the Extreme North Icefield, time was extremely precious to him. According to the predictions made by the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, within a year, the journey would be free of danger. But if the time exceeded a year, his safety would be uncertain. For some unknown reason, the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle could no longer peer into the river of future destiny.

However, faced with the obstruction of such a large-scale natural force, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Li Mu looked up at the distance, a heavy look flashing in his eyes. The Yin Sha Storm formed a massive white vortex, furiously pouring out Yin Sha Power in all directions. He cautiously extended a wisp of Divine Thought into the storm’s periphery, trying to observe the situation within.

Yet, the Yin Sha Qi within the storm was so dense that it nearly devoured his Divine Thought. He could barely perceive some vague images, as if he were seeing a world trapped in ice.

Throughout the entire region, whether they were High-tier Demon Beasts, Low-tier Demon Beast groups, or even schools of fish in the sea, they were all caught within, their bodies frozen while their Demon Souls were dissipated by the Yin Sha wind. Their life force quickly dissipated under the erosion of the Yin Sha Qi, ultimately merging into the raging storm, becoming part of it.

Underneath the Yin Sha Storm, it had evidently become a forbidden zone for life.

Li Mu withdrew his Divine Thought, his heart unable to help but be shocked. The power of the Yin Sha Storm surpassed his imagination, and the rolling Yin Sha Qi could freeze the force of all life, instilling a profound fear within.
