Chapter 141 Shanhe - Fire Token
【Shanhe - Fire Token】
【Grade: Fifth Order Spiritual Artifact】
【Characteristics: Fire Control, Soul Projection Teleportation, Spirit Setting Array Activation】
【Status: Soul Projected】
The Shanhe - Fire Token, refined from a Fifth Order Divine Stone, Fifth Order Red Lotus Fire Crystal, and Fifth Order Crimson Flame Spirit Fire, is one of the Nine Sacred Tokens of the Shanhe Immortal Sect. It allows entry and exit from the Sect's core Shanhe Formation, and a Divided Soul resides within it.
Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, the detailed attributes of the red token appeared in a virtual frame.
Li Mu was startled after reading it.
Soul Projected?
The next moment, a powerful Soul Power surged from the Shanhe - Fire Token, and a strong Spiritual Pressure was released. Without thinking, Li Mu immediately released Little White from the Spirit Beast Pouch, and urged the Spirit Control Contract Seal to forcibly awaken Little White from his sleep.
“Chirp!” Little White chirped in confusion, then his round little eyes stared intently at the Shanhe - Fire Token, as if he had discovered a rare delicacy, and he began to drool.
“How dare you steal the Fire Phoenix I stored!” A Divided Soul illusory figure of an old man emerged from the Shanhe - Fire Token, questioning furiously with hair standing on end.
“Chirp!” Little White aimed at the old man, opened his mouth, and inhaled.
“What! What kind of monster is this?” The old man's Divided Soul residing in the Shanhe - Fire Token was startled, looking at Little White in horror.
“Little White, don’t be in a hurry to eat, let me interrogate him first!” Li Mu quickly stopped Little White, indicating so.
“Chirp!” Little White glanced at his master, responded obediently, then closed his small mouth, and the terrifying Soul Power disappeared.
However, Little White's round little eyes stared fixedly at the old man in Soul form, full of desire and impatience.
Meeting Little White's gaze, the old man in Soul form panicked.
What kind of exotic insect is this? Why does it have such a powerful suppressive force over a Divine Soul body? In front of it, he couldn't even release his Soul Power.
Now, he was locked by a terrifying Soul-hooking power. As long as that young man gave an order, he would be swallowed by that little bug. Even if he hid inside the Shanhe - Fire Token, there was no possibility of escape.
The Shanhe - Fire Token was also suppressed by a powerful Spiritual Power and Divine Sense simultaneously, making it impossible to activate.
How could this be?
What kind of bug is this? So terrifying?
And who is this young man? How can a mere Golden Core Realm Cultivator possess such powerful Divine Sense and cultivation?
The old man's Divided Soul, who had just woken up, understood the situation before him and couldn't help but have a pile of questions.
“Who are you?” Li Mu 'grasped' the Shanhe - Fire Token with his Divine Sense, curiously asking the old man in Soul form.
“This old man is Fire Tian Venerable, a Transformation God cultivator of the Shanhe Sect. Quickly put away that exotic insect! If you dare to harm this Venerable’s Divided Soul, no matter where you flee, this old man will not let you go.” The old man in Soul form introduced himself, then looked at Li Mu and warned him sternly.
The Soul Power emitted by the old man in Soul form was very powerful, and his true body possessed Transformation God cultivation. Li Mu was not surprised at all.
Fortunately, Little White’s ability completely suppressed the opponent, otherwise, the situation would have been dangerous!
Li Mu couldn't help but feel a hint of lingering fear.
Previously, when he took the Shanhe - Fire Token, the old man's Divided Soul residing in the token should have still been in deep sleep. Li Mu easily took the Shanhe - Fire Token.
He never expected that a Transformation God cultivator's Divided Soul was residing in the Shanhe - Fire Token. He must have been there to watch over that Fire Phoenix demonic egg, waiting for it to hatch!
Now, the problem was a bit tricky!
Li Mu didn't expect that Fire Phoenix egg to be an owner’s item, and moreover, it was stored by a Transformation God cultivator.
“Chirp, chirp!” Seeing Li Mu suddenly lost in thought, Little White impatiently urged him with a chirp.
The Soul Power of this old man in Soul form was very powerful, containing a trace of Law power that could allow him to continue evolving. Little White desperately wanted to devour him.
“Junior, ignorance is not a crime. If you return the Fire Phoenix egg and the Shanhe - Fire Token to their original places, this old man will not hold your theft against you, how about it?” Fire Tian Venerable’s Divided Soul was secretly anxious. His current state was suppressed by this little bug, and many of his methods could not be used. He could only look at Li Mu and kindly persuade him.
Li Mu frowned, weighing the pros and cons.
Who knows if this guy's words can be trusted? What if he goes back on his word and his true body comes personally? Would he still be alive?
If he let Little White devour him, without anyone knowing, even if Fire Tian True Venerable's true body found out, as long as he hid, the True Venerable would have no way to deal with him. At the same time, he could also obtain a Seventh Order Fire Phoenix demonic egg, as well as Nine Yang Spirit Grass and other high-grade Spiritual Plants.
Li Mu was unwilling to let his fate be controlled by another's whim.
“Chirp, chirp!” Fearing that his master would be persuaded, Little White immediately became anxious and chirped at Li Mu in a hurry.
“I know! You can eat him!” Li Mu smiled slightly, having already made his choice, and indicated so.
Little White was overjoyed. He opened his small mouth, aimed at Fire Tian Venerable’s Divided Soul, and inhaled forcefully.
“How dare you, junior! You dare! This Venerable will never let you go… No, no…” Fire Tian Venerable’s Divided Soul was both shocked and enraged. Before he could finish speaking, his Divided Soul flew into Little White’s mouth on its own, and in an instant, there was no sound.
“Burp!” Little White swallowed Fire Tian True Venerable’s Divided Soul whole, letting out a satisfied burp. His soft white body turned a faint pink.
“Chirp, chirp!” Little White wiggled his small body, chirped at Li Mu, indicating that he wanted to return to the Spirit Beast Pouch to sleep.
Having devoured a Transformation God cultivator's Divided Soul, Little White gained many benefits. This time, he would sleep for a longer period.
“Okay, go to sleep!” Li Mu smiled and nodded, then put Little White back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
Immediately, Li Mu also put the Shanhe - Fire Token into his storage slot. This item could only be stored in the storage slot for a long time in the future, relying on the storage slot's ability to isolate all power, preventing any positioning and searching of its power.
Li Mu thought for a moment and also put the Celestial Void Cauldron into his storage slot. Unless there was an accident, he did not plan to use it again for a short period.
This was a cultivation world. Transformation God cultivators should be able to use methods like deduction, fortune-telling, and divination to find clues from the Celestial Void Cauldron lid.
To be safe, Li Mu decided not to use the Celestial Void Cauldron easily anymore.
Next, Li Mu changed the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship's flight direction and flew directly towards Qingxuan Sect. He was no longer going to Huanlang Spiritual Mountain, nor was he going to capture any more water or wood type Spirit Beasts.
After being chased by a Sixth Order Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion and destroying the Divided Soul of the Transformation God cultivator - Fire Tian Venerable, Li Mu dared not continue to wander outside. He decided to return to Qingxuan Sect and lay low until his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
As long as he cultivated Spiritual Plants for another ten or several decades, his cultivation would be able to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul True Lord. Adventuring out with only Golden Core Realm cultivation was still too dangerous.
He had already gained control of the Immortal Cave's core array plate, and the ancient Cultivator's Immortal Cave in Huanlang Spiritual Mountain wouldn't run away, so there was no need to rush.
Soon, Li Mu piloted the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, flying at lightning speed, quickly departing from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
What Li Mu didn't know was that at the very moment Little White devoured Fire Tian Venerable's Divided Soul, in an Immortal Cave thousands of miles away in a certain mountain, there was a loud “boom.” A red fire shadow broke through the air and appeared, hovering in the sky, erupting in a painful wail.
“Who! Who exactly was it!”
Fire Tian Venerable roared loudly, and the Spiritual Pressure of a Transformation God cultivator poured out, scaring the four Nascent Soul True Lords present until their faces turned pale.
“Junior Martial Uncle Fire, what happened? What’s wrong?” A beautiful female Cultivator in a blue palace dress immediately flew forward, asking with concern.
“This old man’s Divided Soul placed on Tianfeng Mountain was destroyed, and the Fire Phoenix egg hidden on Tianfeng Mountain that was incubating has been stolen.” Fire Tian Venerable reined in his Aura, explaining with a grim expression.
“What! Who did it? Does Junior Martial Uncle know?” The female Cultivator in the palace dress’s expression changed drastically as she asked with concern.
The Fire Phoenix egg was Fire Tian Venerable's destined Spirit Beast, which he prepared to Breakthrough to the next stage. If it were stolen, the loss would be immense!
“I don’t know. The opponent’s methods were too superb. Not a single trace of Soul Power information from my Divided Soul was transmitted.” Fire Tian Venerable’s face was as dark as ink, as he said angrily.
“What about the Guardian Spirit Sparrow! Did it not discover the enemy?” The female Cultivator in the palace dress continued to ask.
“It fell into their trap, only caring about fighting with a Thunder Lion. I’ll go take a look!” Fire Tian Venerable said angrily. As soon as his voice fell, his figure transformed into a streak of fire and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Fire Tian Venerable planned to first capture that Sixth Order Thunder Lion and interrogate it about who exactly was so sacred to easily break the protective array he had set up and so decisively destroy his Divided Soul, without leaving a single trace.
