I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 761: Chapter 406: The Secret of the Grand Array (Part 2)

Qian Wantong nodded and respectfully said: "Master Li, please follow me."

With that, Qian Wantong turned and led Li Mu in the direction where the Reversing Death Spirit Grass was discovered.

Soon, the group cautiously traversed areas where the power of restriction was waning. As they walked, Qian Wantong detailed to Li Mu how the Reversing Death Spirit Grass was discovered.

"The Reversing Death Spirit Grass was found after we discovered this array restriction. It was only after several attempts to break the restriction, costing the lives of a few companions, that we stumbled upon it," Qian Wantong said solemnly. "At that time, we were also looking for some rare medicinal materials and accidentally entered the place. Unexpectedly, not only did we find the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, but also encountered such a terrifying array."

Leading the way, Qian Wantong added, "That Reversing Death Spirit Grass grows in an extremely concealed passage, surrounded by the power of restriction. We barely managed to get close, only to see the extraordinary phenomenon it exhibited. If we want to pick it, we must first break the array’s restriction."

Listening to Qian Wantong’s description, Li Mu furrowed his brow, pondering to himself. The growth environment of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass is extremely special, often closely related to the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, the power of gathering yin, the terrain, and even some unknown mysterious power. Discovering the Reversing Death Spirit Grass near this Tier Eight Earth Demon Gathering Yin Array is certainly no coincidence; it likely also relates to the leakage of the array power.

The group continued carefully, wary of triggering the surrounding restrictions.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the concealed passage, where a dim red and silver glow emanated, like nether fire flickering. A soul-stirring aura wafted out, unsettling the mind. However, due to the obstruction of the power of the Yin Sha Restriction, this aura was firmly locked within the passage, forming invisible barriers that even divine sense could not penetrate to see inside.

Yet, these phenomena highly matched the characteristics of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass. Li Mu’s spirit lifted, a gleam flashing in his eyes. Although he had never seen the Reversing Death Spirit Grass in person, he had heard tales about it.

"The Reversing Death Spirit Grass grows at the juncture of yin and yang, absorbing the yin yang qi of heaven and earth, extremely mysterious," Li Mu spoke slowly, his voice tinged with reverence. "Its growth conditions are extremely harsh; it can only grow where yin and yang converge. Moreover, it gathers yin fiends, and any creature encountering the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, unless a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, will surely die, their divine soul drawn out. This spirit grass bears fruit once in a thousand years and flowers once in a thousand years. When it blooms, a phenomenon of heaven and earth will appear, showing a blood-red light, which is the sign of blooming."

"It seems there really is a Reversing Death Spirit Grass inside!" Li Mu said, his spirit invigorated.

"Master Li, the phenomena inside the passage are obvious, the medicinal power abundant, perhaps there’s more than one Reversing Death Spirit Grass," Qian Wantong said to Li Mu, worriedly, "It’s a pity this restriction is difficult to break. Trying to retrieve this grass might be beyond our reach!"

Hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brow and gazed deeply at the passage ahead, glowing with a dim red sheen. He could sense the powerful restriction emanating from within, like an invisible giant hand, firmly guarding the Reversing Death Spirit Grass within.

The others were also dejected. They had the opportunity to enter Treasure Mountain but couldn’t obtain the treasures within; this helplessness and frustration made them feel deeply uneasy.

The Reversing Death Spirit Grass is tied to Li Mu’s Dao Heart oath; this matter cannot be abandoned. However, the grand array before him is intimately linked to the seal of the Abyssal Passage, and any significant mistake during the breaking process could have unimaginable consequences.

Li Mu took a deep breath, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. The scope of this grand array is large enough that breaking just this part shouldn’t have a major impact. Yet, he also knew that this array, after thousands of years of erosion, had already lost some power. Who knows whether breaking the restriction this time might trigger a chain reaction.

For a moment, Li Mu was caught in a dilemma, hesitating, unsure of what to do.

"Master Li, how about it? Can you guarantee breaking this array?" Qian Wantong asked Li Mu expectantly.

"Master Li, since you know the origins of this array, you should have the confidence to break it, right? There’s no need to destroy most of the restrictions; we only need to enter the cave mansion within the restriction," Wan Shaoming asked with concern, looking at Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at the two, nodded and said, "I’ll try to break it, but this restriction seems to have some mysterious connection with the surrounding environment. If triggered, it could lead to unpredictable consequences. I need more time to study it thoroughly and ensure nothing goes wrong."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming exchanged a glance, a hint of disappointment in their eyes. They knew Li Mu’s words implied that they would have to wait, and this wait might be quite lengthy.

However, they also understood the difficulty of this grand array, so they nodded in understanding and led their subordinates away, no longer disturbing Li Mu’s study of the restriction.

Above the Extreme North Icefield sky, at this moment, a dozen spiritual ships were heading towards the hinterland. However, they encountered a Yin Sha Storm and were surrounded by dozens of Yin Dragons. The spiritual ships were in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

In one of the spiritual ships, ’Hong San’ (Blood Demon Lord - Dana) sat in the main seat, baring his muscular chest, his blood-red hair flowing like a waterfall, wild and unruly. His face was stern, his eyes sharp as a hawk’s, exuding an unparalleled arrogance, yet his aura was restrained, not revealing the presence of an Integration Realm powerhouse.
