I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

The second image shows Li Mu in a dark valley, traveling alone in the air, seemingly being chased by some dangerous creature, or perhaps trying to dive into the darkness of the valley, escaping from something. The image is somewhat dark and blurry.

The third image is quite grand, with shadow battle beasts all over the place, the sky filled with densely packed warships and sword-controlling cultivators, as if a century-long war is erupting. Li Mu is in the clouds, looking down from above, observing the battlefield without intervening.

The fourth image makes Li Mu a bit worried. In the first three images, he wasn't deeply involved, appearing as if he could advance or retreat freely.

In the fourth image, Li Mu is deeply involved in the war, standing in the sky with a black-robed figure on a black demon dragon, holding a cyan longsword, covered in wounds, surrounded by the dead bodies of demon beasts and cultivators. It appears that he's fighting alone against a terrifying demon king, but is eventually surrounded by the demon king's army, unable to escape.

What happened?

Will such a thing really happen in the future?

Why would he participate in such a battle? The situation is obviously unfavorable! Why didn't he run?

What exactly is going on?

What are those shadow battle beasts?

Are they outer realm demons?

Li Mu's mind was greatly shaken, unable to believe the content of the four images. However, they were glimpses of the future seen in the river of time. Can these four future scenes be changed?

The silhouettes in the four images were too blurry, and the time too fleeting. Even with all his effort, Li Mu couldn't clearly see those black demon shadows or discern the appearance of the black-robed person on the large demon dragon, nor could he learn the origins of those shadows.

Li Mu felt uneasy. The mysterious Star Beast Relic Pearl has the function of glimpsing the river of time. If there were no accidents, these four images should all be events that are certain to happen in the future.

Then, is his future destiny to become involved in a century-long war and finally be besieged and killed by an "army" of some force?

Perhaps it is related to Tian Jue Demon Venerable!

Li Mu immediately recalled the Immortal Demon Armor on Tian Jue Demon Venerable and remembered what Venerable Qingfeng mentioned about Tian Jue Demon Sect's collusion with the Evil Demon Realm forces!

Li Mu sighed, realizing he had glimpsed the possibility of life-threatening danger in the future.

Li Mu immediately decided to stay away from this trouble, quickly leaving Qing Xuan Sect, and even this continent, to develop in another Spirit Realm, far from the calamity that might occur in the future.

Acting on impulse, Li Mu waved his hand, releasing a spirit light to close Moon Pearl Peak's protective array, freeing Wang Jianfeng and Tian Wenjie from the underground cave where they were imprisoned.

"Uh!"

Wang Jianfeng and Tian Wenjie's eyes lit up, shielding themselves from the dazzling sunlight with their hands.

After being imprisoned underground for more than a year, their spirits were a bit disoriented, and they found the bright sunlight hard to accept.

Li Mu glanced at them, casually sending a stream of spiritual power over them, removing the restrictions on their bodies.

"You can leave! Get out!" Li Mu threw their storage bracelets back to them, gesturing to indicate.

"I, I, you, you're willing to let us go?" Tian Wenjie took the bracelet, looking incredulously at Li Mu.

"Thank you, Elder Li, congratulations on advancing to Nascent Soul True Monarch." Wang Jianfeng's spirit lifted, quickly regaining his long-lost True Essence Divine Sense, and he immediately sensed the powerful spiritual pressure from Li Mu's body, hastily congratulating him.

Hearing this, Tian Wenjie finally reacted, eagerly adjusting to his restored True Essence and Divine Sense, and was immediately awed by Li Mu's powerful spiritual pressure, which only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could possess.

Tian Wenjie quickly used his Divine Sense to check the storage bracelet and found that not much was missing, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Get out!" Li Mu waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to argue with them.

Wang Jianfeng and Tian Wenjie, feeling as if they've been granted amnesty, prepared to leave on their Spirit Swords when suddenly Tian Wenjie stopped, looking at Li Mu with a pained expression and requested, "Elder Li, that Demonic Fox is my beloved pet, could I have it back?"

"No, I can't. If you keep talking, you won't be leaving!" Li Mu coldly looked at Tian Wenjie and resolutely refused.

"Uh! The junior bids farewell!" Not daring to say anything more, Tian Wenjie hurriedly bowed and retreated, escaping on his sword.

As he watched the two fly away from Moon Pearl Peak, Li Mu gestured to the stone house, summoning a Spirit Beast Bag from inside. With a whoosh, a three-tailed white fox niftily spun in midair, landed gracefully on the ground, and a white shadow leaped onto Li Mu's shoulder, transforming into a small warm white insect with long antennae lightly brushing Li Mu's face.

"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp!" Xiaobai chirped enthusiastically by Li Mu's ear, clearly sensing his master's strength.

"Hmm! Good boy!" Li Mu smiled and patted Xiaobai's head, then looked at the three-tailed Demonic Fox—Xue'er, and indicated, "I've reached the Nascent Soul stage. Next, I plan to travel to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and return you to the Fox Race when the time comes."

"Thank you, Elder Li. Xue'er is grateful." The three-tailed Demonic Fox—Xue'er expressed its gratitude through a respectful voice transmission, its tone no longer questioning.

After spending more than a year together, the three-tailed Demonic Fox—Xue'er roughly believed that Li Mu would let her return to her race and eagerly looked forward to that day.

"Let's eat!" Li Mu nodded with a smile and, accompanied by Xiaobai, headed straight for the dining table.

The puppet had already prepared the meal and began setting the table.

Li Mu handed a roasted chicken to the three-tailed Demonic Fox—Xue'er, filled a plate with meat porridge for the Red Wolf, and finally handed Xiaobai a soul bottle before sitting down at the table to leisurely enjoy the feast.

Technically, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Li Mu only needed a small amount of Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine to sustain without the need for three meals a day.

However, Li Mu had grown accustomed to the daily life of ordinary people. Additionally, having cultivated the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, he nourished himself by consuming large amounts of High-Tier Demon Beast Meat. Thus, he maintained the habit of three meals a day, and sometimes, at night, enjoyed grilling meat in the courtyard, preserving the rhythm of his former world's life.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Mu went to the lounge chair under the grapevine in the courtyard, lying down to rest. He closed his eyes, quietly practicing the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture - Nascent Soul Chapter, recovering his True Essence and experiencing the Nascent Soul Realm status.

The Red Wolf, having eaten its fill, lay down next to Li Mu, nudging Li Mu's leg a few times, letting out a soft whimper.

Li Mu smiled slightly, placing his hand on the Red Wolf's head, gently stroking it, a thread of True Essence seeping out as he casually adjusted the old Red Wolf's body.

This adjustment, though not changing the Red Wolf's talent, could improve its physique, allowing it to live more healthily.

"Woo woo!" The Red Wolf whined comfortably, thoroughly enjoying its master's caress.

The three-tailed Demonic Fox—Xue'er, jumped to the other side, watching enviously as the Nascent Soul powerhouse helped adjust its body. What a great opportunity, yet this silly dog had no idea about cultivation, wasting such benefit.

About two hours passed; the night deepened as a gentle breeze blew, and the few Spirit Beasts on Moon Pearl Peak fell asleep. Li Mu stopped his practice, his deep gaze fixed on the starry sky, inevitably raising a trace of worry in his heart.

Li Mu couldn't help but feel troubled over the four images he glimpsed from the river of time.

The majority of the content in those four images suggests that this continent will likely face an invasion by a demon army in the near future. Even he might inevitably be drawn in, finding it difficult to extricate himself.

However, after thinking for a moment, Li Mu decided not to trouble himself any further. The glimpses from the river of time were not the full picture; thinking more was useless. Unless he could refine the Star Beast Relic Pearl into a high-tier divination spiritual artifact to divine the true future.

For now, the key problem was to continue enhancing his strength. Having reached the Nascent Soul stage, he now needed to prepare for advancing to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Li Mu contemplated the matters of planting spirit plants, whether to leave Qing Xuan Sect or take advantage of his favor with the sect to secure a larger Spirit Mountain to plant high-tier spirit plants in bulk.
