I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 659 - 358: Anomalous Soul State

Li Mu continued to bow in salute: "Greetings, Elder Ding."

Elder Ding’s eyes flashed with a trace of appreciation, and he nodded at Li Mu.

"Elder Li, have you come to the Dharma Transmission Hall today to exchange a Cultivation Technique? Whatever you need, feel free to tell me, and I will personally impart the technique to you," Yuwen Tian looked at Li Mu, a warm smile on his face, and asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was overjoyed and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Indeed, Elder Yuwen, as a newcomer to the Sect, I am not very familiar with the Sect’s Cultivation Scriptures, hence I came specially to the Dharma Transmission Hall hoping to exchange for a Divine Sense Technique suitable for myself to enhance the power of my Divine Thought."

Yuwen Tian, hearing this, nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and after a careful observation of Li Mu, he slowly spoke: "Elder Li, if I’m not mistaken, your eyes seem to contain the light of the stars, indicating that you have already cultivated an impressive Divine Sense Technique and your Cultivation is quite deep. May I ask which Cultivation Technique you are practicing?"

Li Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Elder Yuwen Tian to be able to discern the Divine Sense Technique he was cultivating. After a slight hesitation, he decided to tell the truth: "Elder Yuwen, to be honest, the Divine Sense Technique I am cultivating is called the ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’, but it is just an incomplete piece!"

"Star Nebula Visualization Method?" Yuwen Tian was surprised to hear this.

"This Divine Sense Technique is not recorded in the Sect’s Dharma Transmission Hall. Have any of you heard of this Divine Sense Technique!" Yuwen Tian looked at several Elders present, inquiringly.

"No!"

"Never!"

Qiu Changming and two other Elders exchanged glances and shook their heads one after another.

Upon seeing this, Elder Yuwen Tian understood. He turned to Li Mu and gently explained: "Elder Li, the Divine Sense Technique you are cultivating must be of a high Grade. I suspect that your Divine Sense has already formed an Anomalous Soul, correct?"

Li Mu, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows, showing some confusion. He answered honestly: "Elder Yuwen, to be honest, I am not very clear about the concept of ’Anomalous Soul’."

Yuwen Tian gave a slight smile, knowing that Li Mu might not have a deep understanding of the Divine Sense Technique system, so he began to explain in detail: "Anomalous Soul is a special form formed by the Divine Sense after cultivating High-level Divine Sense Techniques to a certain stage. Take our Sect’s Celestial Extreme Supreme Grade Divine Sense Technique ’Star Technique’ for example, cultivators of this technique, upon reaching a highly advanced Realm, can condense a Divine Soul in the form of a star. Such Divine Soul not only possesses powerful Insight to fathom the Tianji, perceiving all things, but even if the Physical Body is destroyed, the Divine Soul can remain indestructible, extremely powerful."

After listening to Yuwen Tian’s explanation, Li Mu came to a realization, recalling that his own Divine Soul once manifested in a nebula form, which should be the mark of cultivating an Anomalous Soul. His heart was filled with excitement, realizing that he had unknowingly reached such a Realm.

"So that’s it," Li Mu nodded with emotion, responding truthfully.

"If you have already cultivated an Anomalous Soul, it might be inappropriate to switch partway to another Divine Sense Technique due to potential conflict between the two!" Yuwen Tian looked at Li Mu and suggested.

"Elder Yuwen Tian is right." Qiu Changming nodded in agreement, looking at Li Mu and said: "Cultivating Divine Sense Techniques differs from other Techniques; it requires extremely high focus and purity. Once you have cultivated an Anomalous Soul, switching to another Divine Sense Technique midway could lead to issues in Cultivation due to conflicts between the two, potentially causing harm to your Divine Soul. Therefore, I recommend that once you have chosen a Divine Sense Technique, you should persist in cultivating it without changing easily."

Elder Ding and Elder Fang also nodded, agreeing with Qiu Changming and Yuwen Tian’s viewpoint. As esteemed Elders of the Sect, they naturally were well aware of the precautions necessary for cultivating Divine Sense Techniques.

Upon hearing the advice of the four Elders, Li Mu couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He naturally understood the difficulty and importance of cultivating Divine Sense Techniques, and was aware of the risks that might arise from switching Techniques after cultivating an Anomalous Soul. However, his current situation was somewhat unique.

Li Mu furrowed his brows and gave a wry smile. He wished to further elevate the Realm of the ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’, but elevating its Realm could not be fulfilled merely by Free Skill Points, requiring large amounts of high-tier Spirit Plants like Star Source plants with Plant Spirit to continue advancement.

The Plant Spirit Light Group of Star Source requires planting Tier Six Spirit Plants such as Mouxing Spirit Grass, which Li Mu doesn’t know when he can cultivate.

Thus, elevating the Realm of the ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’ seems almost unattainable in the foreseeable future, and Li Mu does not wish to wait any longer.

Besides, cultivating Divine Sense Techniques requires very little effort from Li Mu, so dual cultivation poses no issue; the only difficulty is the conflict between Anomalous Soul states mentioned by Yuwen Tian.

"Elder Qiu, Elder Yuwen, I understand your concerns and worries." Li Mu looked firmly at both and continued sincerely: "However, my current situation is somewhat special. The Divine Sense Technique I am cultivating is an incomplete piece with no subsequent cultivation method, meaning I cannot continue to elevate the Realm of this Technique, which is undoubtedly a huge concern for me. Therefore, I wish to exchange for a complete Divine Sense Technique to further continue my Divine Sense Cultivation."

At this point, Li Mu paused, looked at the four and asked with concern: "Of course, there are risks associated with cultivating other Divine Sense Techniques after developing Anomalous Soul, so is there any alternative solution for the Divine Sense-Anomalous Soul conflict?"

Hearing this, Qiu Changming and Elder Fang as well as others turned their gaze toward Elder Yuwen Tian, as he was the one most knowledgeable about resolving Li Mu’s issue. As the hall master of the Dharma Transmission Hall, Yuwen Tian not only had profound knowledge in various Cultivation Technique inheritance issues but also had unique insights into various difficulties encountered during Cultivation.

Yuwen Tian furrowed his brows and pondered, smoothing his long silver-white beard, and said contemplatively: "Avoiding conflict between Divine Sense Techniques isn’t impossible, but it requires certain special conditions and opportunities. Based on my understanding, as long as you cultivate Divine Sense Techniques of the same origin, the conflict can be minimized. Furthermore, if two Divine Sense Techniques are cultivated successfully and an Anomalous Soul fusion occurs, your Divine Sense might gain several folds of enhancement."

Yuwen Tian paused slightly as if pondering his wording, and then looked deeply at Li Mu, introducing: "However, I must remind you, Anomalous Soul fusion is no easy task, and the risks involved are immense. A slight mishap could cause damage to your Divine Soul or even regress your Cultivation. Thus, if you intend to attempt this method, you must be fully prepared."

At this point, Yuwen Tian paused for a bit, seemingly to give Li Mu ample time to digest this information, and continued: "If you’re willing, you can provide me with the Divine Sense Technique you’re practicing for me to observe. In doing so, I can better assist you in finding a Divine Sense Technique with corresponding Attributes to ensure a higher success rate in Anomalous Soul fusion."

Yuwen Tian sincerely looked at Li Mu and added: "For Cultivation Techniques not recorded in the Dharma Transmission Hall, we usually provide extremely high Contribution rewards. Elder Li, if you are willing to submit this Divine Sense Technique to the Dharma Transmission Hall, I will not only exchange a Technique of equal Tier for free but also reward you with additional Contribution."

At this point, Li Mu couldn’t help but be moved. The ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’ was a Technique he picked up as a bargain at an auction, possessing demanding Cultivation conditions. If it weren’t for having the Talent of Plant Spirit Absorption, he would surely not have been able to cultivate the ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’ to its current level so swiftly, and moreover, it was an incomplete piece, the subsequent cultivation method unknown, so trading it is most advantageous.

"Alright!" Li Mu took a deep breath, his eyes gleamed with determination, and he nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Li Mu retrieved a Blank Jade Scroll from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, infused it with Divine Sense, and began recording, naturally, as the ’Star Nebula Visualization Method’ is an incomplete piece, the content recorded wouldn’t be much.
