I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 342 - 213: Celestial Dragon List

The Kun Family members were all discussing fervently, yearning intensely to rush into Hou Shen Garden to find out what on earth had happened.

Hou Shen Garden!

The glow of the Bronze Gate gradually faded, and the trembling of the earth slowly subsided.

In the pavilion, Tianshang Supreme put away the duster and said with a smile, "Friend Li’s strength is truly startling. His methods are endless, and Kun Yuan has really failed this time!"

"Friend Li even brought a Tier Five Body-Binding Thunder Prison Talisman! This thing is extremely valuable and also possesses Body Refinement capabilities. Given his foundation, if I were to fight him with my life on the line, the odds of victory would be slim. But then again, this battle was really exciting!" Venerable Kun Ling’s eyes sparkled with astonishment, involuntarily voicing his inner thoughts.

Inside the grand array, after the smoke and clouds dispersed, Li Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and emerged from behind Five Elements Spirit Mountain.

In front, Venerable Kun Yuan also revealed himself, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his clothes wrinkled, and some wounds on his body, looking quite disheveled.

However, his injuries were rapidly healing at a visible speed.

Upon reaching the Void Refining Realm, the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body fully merged, resulting in endless life, and even if the flesh is destroyed, it can be quickly rebuilt.

Unlike Venerable Divinity Transformation, for whom rebuilding the flesh is extremely troublesome and costly.

Venerable Kun Yuan looked down at his wounds, then examined the bloodstained clothes, glaring at Li Mu with frustration and reluctance, feeling a mix of emotions without knowing what to say.

Venerable Kun Yuan gathered the powerful Spiritual Pressure of the Void Refining Realm and walked slowly toward Li Mu.

"You brat, obviously a Sword Cultivator, dare to use your fists and even a Thunder Prison Talisman. How shameless!"

Venerable Kun Yuan reflected on the battle, realizing that his so-called direct confrontation was all smoke and mirrors. This kid was very sly, never truly risking himself.

The real trump card was the lethal Tier Five Body-Binding Thunder Prison Talisman and the dazzling Five Elements Incarnation, a powerful refiners body, and the unpredictable Five Elements Escape Technique.

His endless methods made him seem like an inhuman existence!

Defeated, utterly defeated!

He had actually lost to an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Venerable Kun Yuan glared at Li Mu, momentarily unable to accept it!

"All’s fair in war! Thank you for your guidance, Elder!" Li Mu smiled slightly at Venerable Kun Yuan, bowing in gratitude.

Just a reference to war, and Venerable Kun Yuan felt furious enough to almost hit him, but using his advantage to bully the weak would be embarrassing!

"Haha, is Kun Yuan convinced of his defeat?"

The Bronze Gate transformed into a thread of blue light, returning to the duster, as Tianshang Supreme and Venerable Kun Ling approached.

"I have nothing to say!" Venerable Kun Yuan felt a sense of wanting to flee, having boasted during the battle about showing Li Mu the power of focused cultivation techniques.

Yet he had lost so miserably, forced to reveal his Void Refining Stage cultivation, bringing shame to his face!

"Elder, in this match, it was mainly because I used a Tier Five Body-Binding Thunder Prison Talisman. Without it, I might not have injured you. My competitive spirit is too strong; I hope for your forgiveness." Li Mu humbly apologized to Venerable Kun Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Kun Yuan realized Li Mu was offering him a graceful exit, recognizing a change in perception towards the sly youth, though he wouldn’t make excuses due to his Void Refining status.

"Alright, a loss is a loss. Even without that Tier Five Body-Binding Thunder Prison Talisman, your strength surpasses typical Divinity Transformation Realm experts." Venerable Kun Yuan evaluated Li Mu objectively, saying, "On the Central Continent’s Celestial Dragon List, your strength could definitely rank in the top ten."

Celestial Dragon List?

Upon hearing it, Li Mu’s eyes flickered. He hadn’t yet used all his means, but his demonstrated power greatly surpassed his previous battle against Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable.

Who could have thought that such strength would only rank in the top ten of the Central Continent’s Celestial Dragon List?

"Elder Kun, what is this Celestial Dragon List?" Li Mu inquired.

"No rush, let’s discuss this in the pavilion first!"

Tianshang Supreme interjected with a cheerful smile.

Everyone nodded agreeably, soon after Tianshang Supreme dissipated the grand array, and the four returned to sit in the pavilion.

"Friend, on the Central Continent, the number of strong individuals in clans and sects determines their status. Hence, major forces focus intensely on cultivating talents, leading to such talents striving to outperform each other, proving their superiority in talent."

"Hence, struggles both overt and covert abound, causing many nurtured talents to perish midway, a significant loss for these forces. Given the substantial investment in cultivating each talent, witnessing this situation is untenable, thus establishing the Celestial Dragon List. It sets up rings for talents of major forces to compete, determining victory and defeat yet sparing each other’s lives."

"This practice has persisted for tens of thousands of years. Each stage corresponds to a category: Golden Core Stage is the Hidden Dragon List, Nascent Soul Stage is the Celestial Dragon List, whereas Divinity Transformation Realm and above, the core of major clans, do not partake in these lists or arena competitions."

"You are currently within the Nascent Soul Realm, naturally eligible to be listed on the Celestial Dragon List, competing against other top talents." Tianshang Supreme detailed the Celestial Dragon List’s circumstances on the Central Continent.

Upon hearing, Li Mu couldn’t help but nod.

Though his Nascent Soul Stage strength crossed realms, defeating Divinity Transformation Realm opponents and earning merely a top ten position on the Celestial Dragon List, the Central Continent Spirit Realm indeed nurtures immense strength!

His own strength’s boundaries remained undecided; Li Mu refrained from further inquiries, not planning to visit Central Continent imminently. Understanding these matters could wait.

"Friend, I have something to ask?" Venerable Kun Ling pondered, then abruptly queried Li Mu.

"Elder Kun, feel free to ask anything; no need for politeness with a junior!" Li Mu responded with a smile, using Spiritual Power to float a cup of Spirit Tea to Venerable Kun Ling.

"Then, Friend Li, do you still have remaining Thunder Prison Talismans?"

"Seven left." Li Mu focused his mind, roughly guessing Venerable Kun Ling’s intent for the Thunder Prison Talismans.

Venerable Kun Ling rejoiced upon hearing, promptly proposing an exchange deal for purchasing Tier Five Body-Binding Thunder Prison Talismans.

Li Mu gladly agreed, stating he didn’t need ordinary Spirit Stones or materials, instead demanding large amounts of Tier Five Beast Hide Paper and Demon Beast Essence Soul.

Venerable Kun Ling gladly accepted, excitedly going to gather Li Mu’s requested items, and returned within less than fifteen minutes.

Venerable Kun Ling brought out a storage bag, handing it to Li Mu.

Li Mu used Divine Thought, discovering a large quantity of Tier Five Demon Beast Hide and High-tier Demon Beast Soul.

Li Mu cheerfully took out five Thunder Prison Talismans and completed the transaction.

...

Night fell.

Li Mu returned to his dwelling; meanwhile, Tianshang Supreme and Venerable Kun Yuan continued their late-night conversation in the pavilion. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Do you plan to bring this young lad into our Kun Family?" Venerable Kun Yuan poured a spirit wine, sipping and contemplating.

Tianshang Supreme savored spirit tea, leisurely saying, "This child, though his Five Elements Yin and Yang handling seems chaotic, the stability and interconnection exhibited during the battle confirm endless life. Such control of his essence, uncommon for regular folk, his potential is boundless, possibly leading our Kun Family to another Mahayana Stage Cultivator."

"What? You hold such high hopes for him?" Venerable Kun Yuan’s wine bottle trembled in shock, questioning.

Mahayana Stage.

As one of the Eight Great Clans, Kun Family currently only has two Supreme Ancestors at the Mahayana Stage.

"Moreover, with the upcoming opening of Cangyuan Secret Realm, as the Kun Family continuously lags behind the other seven clans, it’s time to introduce external forces to break the cycle!" Tianshang Supreme suggested.

"What! You intend him to enter the Cangyuan Secret Realm, but the main family surely won’t agree!" Venerable Kun Yuan’s eyes flashed, questioning sternly.

Tianshang Supreme smiled slightly, indifferent.
