I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 639 - 348: Profound Celestial Sword Sect (2)

As Li Mu’s divine sense delved deeper, he felt the majesty and mystery of the Ancient Teleportation Array. Array patterns, array formations, and array roads appeared one by one in his sea of consciousness, like a gigantic painting slowly unfolding.

Li Mu took a deep breath, steadied his mind, fully operated the Star Nebula Observation Technique, Star God Chapter, released all his divine thought, and began engraving this information one by one into the Purple Jade Scroll.

First, he outlined the overall framework of the Teleportation Grand Array in the Purple Jade Scroll. This process required extreme care and concentration because any slight mistake could lead to the failure of the entire array map... Relying on his level 6 array knowledge, strong divine sense, and keen observation, Li Mu gradually sketched out the basic framework of the grand array.

Then, he started laying out the array roads, filling them into the basic framework of the grand array... Array roads are the veins of the array, determining its operation method and the flow of power. Li Mu carefully sketched each array road, ensuring they crisscrossed and connected to form a complete array system.

Next, he began engraving the array patterns. Array patterns are the essence of the array; each one contains immense power and ingenious principles, crucial for whether the grand array can successfully activate. Each array pattern pertains to the grand array’s functions, gathering spirit, positioning... Li Mu meticulously felt each array pattern’s subtlety, engraving them one by one onto the jade scroll with his divine sense, as if crafting a precise instrument with no room for error.

Finally, Li Mu began condensing the array formation in the array map. The array formation is the overall momentum of the array, determining the array’s strength and might, and is the key to whether the grand array can be manifested. After engraving all array patterns and roads, through continuous adjustment and optimization, he ultimately made the Teleportation Grand Array’s momentum majestic and flawlessly integrated with nature, thus successfully forming the array map.

A trace of joy flashed across Li Mu’s face as he clearly felt a hint of the power of space-time emanating from the teleportation array in the jade scroll, signifying that the array map was successfully engraved.

"Master Li, the array map is completed!"

Li Mu relaxed, and immediately Feng Jian’s voice sounded beside his ear.

Li Mu looked up and noticed, at some point, four elders had appeared beside Sword Master Feng. Their expressions varied, and their gazes full of surprise were all focused on him.

Li Mu composed himself, carefully observing these four elders. They varied in age, appearing to be in their sixties or seventies, all with Void Refining Cultivation, exuding an extraordinary aura, and their gazes towards him were filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

"Hmm, living up to expectations!" Li Mu smiled brightly, handing the Purple Jade Scroll to Sword Master Feng, his face brimming with confidence, acknowledging the fruits of his hard work and a breakthrough in his array studies.

Sword Master Feng joyfully accepted the array map, immediately immersing his divine sense into it. His expression gradually turned to surprise and delight as he could clearly sense the space-time array power contained within the map, seeing a vast difference compared to the previously incomplete array map, more complete and exquisite, akin to a perfect piece of art.

"Good, good! This is wonderful! Master Li is indeed extraordinary, able to engrave such a complex Ancient Teleportation Array in just a few days." Sword Master Feng laughed heartily, his eyes glinting with excitement.

After speaking, Sword Master Feng quickly handed the Purple Jade Scroll to an elder in blue clothes beside him, indicating, "Elder Ling, have a look."

The elder in blue eagerly took the Purple Jade Scroll and delved his divine sense into it.

Moments later, his face showed a look of shock and joy, casting Li Mu a deep glance, praising, "Impressive, Master Li is indeed a genius in arrays, able to perfectly replicate the Ancient Teleportation Array!"

"These are the Steward Elders of our sect, this is Ling Tianxing, Elder Ling is the Peak Master of White Cloud Peak, and also an Array Master, who concurrently holds the Array Hall." Sword Master Feng swiftly introduced the identity of the blue-clothed elder to Li Mu.

"Greetings, Elder Ling." Li Mu politely smiled.

"This is Elder Wu, Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, this is Elder Tian, Master of the Artifact Refining Hall, and this is Elder Qiu, Master of the Contribution Hall." Sword Master Feng smilingly introduced the remaining three Steward Elders to Li Mu.

"Greetings to the esteemed elders!" Li Mu respectfully greeted each one.

"Master Li, if you’re willing to join our sect, I can gladly relinquish the position of Array Hall Master!" Elder Ling eagerly extended an invitation to Li Mu, his words full of admiration, evidently hoping Li Mu would join the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, willing to give up the position of Array Hall Master.

Elder Ling’s invitation caught Li Mu off guard; he never imagined becoming an esteemed guest of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, let alone its Array Hall Master.

"Master Li, our sect holds countless legacies, the Scripture Pavilion contains millions of scrolls, with your dual mastery of arrays and artifacts, and unparalleled swordsmanship, if you join our sect, it’s like adding wings to a tiger, with great potential to achieve the rank of Daoist Monarch in the future." Elder Tian looked at Li Mu with eyes glinting in anticipation, his tone revealing his admiration for Li Mu.

Elder Tian’s words moved Li Mu’s heart; joining this Profound Celestial Sword Sect indeed offered many benefits. He also wished to find a spiritual land for stability, so he wouldn’t have to wander anymore. Besides, the Profound Celestial Sword Array’s countless legacies, abundant resources, Spirit Mountains, and Spirit Field resources are top-notch; joining would mean no more worries!

Of course, joining the Profound Celestial Sword Sect meant enjoying the sect’s protection, naturally entailing the burden of its cause and effect—a double-edged sword—but overall, the pros outweighed the cons. Li Mu hesitated for a moment.

"Master Li, you possess the potential for dao attainment, with boundless prospects. However, the current situation is perilous, with the risk of falling with the slightest misstep. Our sect is home to two Daoist Monarchs, seven Sword Masters, commanding countless Spirit Peaks; if you join our sect, firstly, you’d enjoy the sect’s protection, secondly, gain access to top-tier auxiliary cultivation resources, aiding your path to dao!" Elder Qiu looked at Li Mu, sincerely inviting him.

"Master Li, joining the Profound Celestial Sword Sect bears no harm, only benefits. If you have any concerns, feel free to voice them!" Facing the elders’ invitation, Li Mu hesitated, uncertain, and Sword Master Feng couldn’t help but inquire curiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu let out a wry smile and indicated, "I’ve always been accustomed to freedom and prefer not to take on too many responsibilities. I am not very sociable and enjoy solitude, but the sect’s rules are numerous and constraints considerable; I fear I wouldn’t adapt well!"

Sword Master Feng, upon hearing this, laughed and quickly reassured, "Ah, so Master Li is worried about this. Actually, though our sect has many rules, they are there to maintain order and protect disciples’ rights. Many rules primarily restrain lower-level disciples, and if you find it challenging, we can arrange some relatively relaxed responsibilities for you."

"For example, the position of Honored Guest Elder in our sect," Sword Master Feng continued, "this position doesn’t require many obligations; you only need to contribute some effort to the sect occasionally, without affecting your freedom while allowing you to participate in sect affairs."

Elder Tian added, "Indeed, our sect’s rules and responsibilities are quite flexible. If you are willing to become an Honored Guest Elder in our sect, you only need to contribute when necessary."

With their assurances, Li Mu no longer hesitated and promptly agreed.

Li Mu bowed deeply, saluting the five elders, "Thank you, esteemed elders, for your kindness. I shall live up to expectations, willing to join the sect and serve the Profound Celestial Sword Sect!"

"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! Our sect will surely not neglect you; whatever you need, just let us know!" Sword Master Feng laughed heartily, looking at Elder Qiu, "Elder Qiu, the reward for completing the Ancient Teleportation Array should be substantial sect contribution, shouldn’t it?"

"Indeed, that’s right. This array formation task concerns the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region and is critical to the Southern Wilderness war effort. Furthermore, completing the Ancient Teleportation Array Map, in total, merits a contribution reward: 300,000 points." Qiu Mingzhen pondered for a moment, responding to Sword Master Feng.

"Very well, Elder Wu, Elder Qiu, please assist Elder Li in enrolling into the sect later!" Sword Master Feng happily nodded, looking at Elder Wu and Elder Qiu for indication.

"Certainly!"

Wu Ke cheerfully complied.
