Chapter 826 - 437: Preparing Both Ways
As time went on, the blue water light surrounding Li Mu grew increasingly dazzling, and suddenly he opened his eyes wide, awakening from the state of enlightenment and exercise of cultivation technique.
"Elder Li, did you gain anything from this cultivation?"
Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with a hint of expectation in his eyes and asked with a smile.
A flash of light passed through Li Mu’s eyes, and he nodded gently with a smile: "I gained a little, understanding the ’Water Heart Realm, Water has no constant form, adapting to any shape."
"Not bad! With this gain, the trip to the Secret Realm wasn’t in vain." Sword Master Feng nodded with a smile and then glanced around the Water Mansion, indicating: "This Daoist Monarch’s Cave Mansion, aside from the Celestial One Divine Water, other precious Spiritual Objects were already taken away; it seems ’Bibo Daoist Monarch’ decided long ago to use this mansion as the Array Hub for the seal here."
"Indeed, the Celestial One Divine Water is key to the Sealing Array and must not be moved lightly." Sword Master Chen nodded in agreement, saying with some regret, it’s rare to enter a Daoist Monarch’s Cave Mansion, yet they didn’t find the desired gains.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood that for two Integration Realm Powerhouses, besides the Celestial One Divine Water, the high-tier Spirit Grass growing in the medicinal herbs of the Daoist Monarch’s Cave Mansion, and various high-tier Spiritual Materials like the One-Origin Heavy Water, Tripartite Heavy Water flowing outside the mansion, all these high-tier Spiritual Objects couldn’t catch their eyes.
"Elder Li, the Celestial One Divine Water is the core of the Sealing Array, and the Sealing Array is the cornerstone maintaining the peace of the entire Spirit Realm, concerning its safety. We allow this dragon to cultivate in this mansion, however, it is not permitted to enter the mansion’s core, and must not harbor any desire toward the Celestial One Divine Water." Sword Master Chen remembered something and solemnly reminded Li Mu while looking at the Cyan Moon True Dragon.
"The little dragon understands, and will strictly adhere to the rules, not daring to overstep in the slightest."
Upon hearing the words of the two Sword Masters, the Cyan Moon True Dragon quickly lowered its head, responding respectfully and cautiously.
Being able to cultivate here was already a great fortune for the Cyan Moon True Dragon, which was entirely thanks to Li Mu. It had enough self-awareness and understood the function of the Sealing Array, not daring to covet the Celestial One Divine Water.
Regarding the other implied meaning of Sword Master Chen’s words, Li Mu understood it well, looking at Sword Master Chen, Sword Master Feng quickly responded: "Rest assured, Sword Masters, I will promptly have Qingyue remove its control over the Water Mansion Array Token, ensuring it can only operate in the outer perimeter of the mansion and cannot approach the core area where the Celestial One Divine Water is located."
As he finished speaking, Li Mu took out the Water Mansion Token and handed it to the Cyan Moon True Dragon: "Qing Yue, I’ll help you erase the Divine Soul Mark left on the token during refinement and sever your connection with the token."
"Yes!"
The Cyan Moon True Dragon transformed into human form, turning into a handsome young man in a green robe, and responded to Li Mu.
Qing Yue looked up at Li Mu, gathering True Essence in its hands, and together with Li Mu, they retracted the Spiritual Power and Divine Soul etched in the core of the Refining Array Token, completely severing the connection with the token.
A powerful Spiritual Power quickly enveloped the token, and as the Spiritual Power surged, the runes on the token began to shimmer, emitting dazzling light.
Under the gaze of the two Sword Masters, Qing Yue gently waved its hand, the Spiritual Power enveloping the token quickly dissipated, and a wisp of cyan Dragon Soul returned to the Cyan Moon True Dragon, then the vibrant Spirit Light emitted by the token dimmed accordingly.
With the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s connection severed, the Array Token seemed to suffer a heavy blow, shivering slightly, as if lamenting the loss of a suitable owner.
Seeing this scene, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen’s stern expressions couldn’t help but show smiles; the Array Token was of significant importance, for Li Mu to willingly hand it over and successfully sever the connection with the Cyan Moon True Dragon was enough to prove his sincerity.
"Very good, Cyan Moon True Dragon," Sword Master Chen looked at Qing Yue’s actions and expressed satisfaction, signaling: "You have successfully severed the connection with the Array Token, next, you only need to cultivate at ease in the outskirts of the mansion, while guarding this place without any negligence."
Qing Yue bowed deeply, expressing gratitude to the two Sword Masters: "Thank you for your tolerance and trust, little dragon will definitely adhere to the rules and live up to expectations."
Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and signaled arrangements: "You should return and hand this token over to Elder Qiu; in the future, as long as you don’t enter the core area of ’Celestial One Divine Water,’ not impacting the Sealing Array, you may freely enter and exit this place."
"Thank you, Sword Master!" Li Mu joyfully nodded and then looked at Qing Yue, indicating: "Qing Yue, you should go out now, and cultivate here diligently to promote quickly."
"Yes, Qing Yue can’t attend to you at all times, please do be careful, Master." Qing Yue respectfully saluted Li Mu, and then with a flash transformed into a cyan Flowing Light and flew to the outskirts of the mansion.
Watching the Cyan Moon True Dragon leave, Li Mu smiled widely, Jade-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin, had long been like the Cyan Moon True Dragon, already in secluded cultivation in Extreme Gold Spiritual Land, the Five Spirit Beasts used to set up the Five Elements Array are no longer effective, there’s no necessity to keep it forcibly by his side.
Li Mu only hopes that when he promotes to Refining Void or reaches higher realms, the five Spirit Beasts can continue to keep pace with him.
"Elder Li, your Demon Dragon has been nurtured well, and it will undoubtedly become a significant support in the future." Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu with some envy and said.
Li Mu smiled slightly and humbly responded: "Sword Master Chen, you overpraise me, Qing Yue is gifted and well-behaved, very rare, in the future, I will closely watch over its growth, ensuring it won’t stray off course."
"Elder Li, you should check if the Sealing Array has any flaws; if there are no problems, I’ll leave here as early as possible." Sword Master Feng interrupted the conversation between the two, reminding them.
