Chapter 270: Chapter 182: Wishes Finally Fulfilled (Part 2)

The Purple Sky Thunder Beast gazed intently at Li Mu, praising, “Indeed, I owe you my life as well. Whatever you need, feel free to ask, and I will fulfill all your requests without fail!”

Hearing this, Li Mu’s eyes slightly brightened,

since the Purple Sky Thunder Beast had said so, and the Tier Seven True Spirit was a treasure from head to toe, it shouldn’t be too much to ask for something, right? Coincidentally, he had a sealed Spiritual Object that needed True Spirit Blood.

With this thought, Li Mu’s heart raced, but he maintained a courteous smile on his face, without any hint of exploiting his kindness.

At this moment, True Monarch Tianhong, with an arm severed, clutched his wound and walked up to Li Mu, a complex expression on his face. He earnestly thanked Li Mu, “Fellow Daoist Li, forgive my previous rudeness. The debt of saving my life is immeasurable, and I’m willing to offer you Celestial Fire!”

Li Mu’s eyes lit up, amazed, as he looked at True Monarch Tianhong.

Celestial Fire?

Upon hearing True Monarch Tianhong’s words, the cultivators of the Hundred Refinements Sect all had a flicker of strange light in their eyes and began to whisper among themselves.

“He actually possesses Celestial Fire!”

“I wonder what kind of Celestial Fire it is!”

…

The two Divinity Transformation powerhouses from the Hundred Refinements Sect had dazzling lights in their eyes, subconsciously moving closer, their eyes fixed intently on True Monarch Tianhong.

Celestial Fire is also something the Hundred Refinements Sect has been yearning for.

The Hundred Refinements Sect entered the Dao through artifact refinement and was more proficient in artifact refining techniques than other major sects. Unfortunately, the more skilled the refining, the higher-level Spiritual Fire was needed.

Finding Spiritual Fire was not difficult, but Celestial Fire was hard to come by.

To enter the Dao through artifact refinement and refine a Lifebound Treasure, reaching above the Divinity Transformation level would require a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, which is extremely difficult to refine with ordinary Spiritual Fire. Unless the artifact refining technique is superb, it would require a Celestial Fire with Spiritual Energy to assist, making it possible.

One can see how important Celestial Fire is to an Artifact Refiner!

The actions of the two Divinity Transformation cultivators from the Hundred Refinements Sect did not go unnoticed by Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei.

Venerable Qingwei slightly furrowed his brows, quickly exchanging glances with the Purple Sky Thunder Beast.

They became alert, taking a few steps to shield both Li Mu and True Monarch Tianhong.

Though the Hundred Refinements Sect had the grace of aid, they remained cautious because suspicion is necessary.

Celestial Fire concerns the Array Artifact of the Thunder Prison Array. Without Celestial Fire, the commission for Li Mu to refine it might fall through.

Now that True Monarch Tianhong was willing to relinquish the Celestial Fire, entrusting the Array Artifact refinement to Li Mu seemed assured. This matter concerned the sect’s safety and could not afford any mishap.

The caution of the three Divinity Transformation powerhouses from the Spirit Taming Sect was noticed by the two Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Hundred Refinements Sect, who frowned, showing dissatisfaction.

What a fine act! They had just rescued the Spirit Taming Sect, and now the Spirit Taming Sect was guarding against them like this?

The atmosphere between both parties became extremely awkward.

However, right now, Li Mu was overwhelmed with joy, forgetting the potential crisis brought by the Hundred Refinements Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Tianhong, you…” Li Mu showed surprise, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

True Monarch Tianhong smiled frankly, saying, “Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve done the Spirit Taming Sect and me a great service; no token of gratitude could be too much…”

Venerable Tianhong paused, looking at Li Mu, and said with emotion, “I acquired this Extreme Yang Celestial Fire nearly a century ago, yet still cannot wield it effortlessly. Though it provides assistance in my Path of Artifact Refining, I can only refine Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts. Such a rare Spiritual Object cannot exhibit its true power in my hands. Perhaps the heavens intended me as a conduit to send it to you; it might be destined by the heavens beyond our understanding!”

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was overjoyed, finally seeing his wishes come true.

Li Mu looked at True Monarch Tianhong, earnestly expressing his gratitude, “In that case, I thank Fellow Daoist Tianhong for your generous gift. I will do everything in my power to make up for your loss.”

Seeing Li Mu speak like this, the last trace of reluctance in True Monarch Tianhong’s heart vanished.

True Monarch Tianhong smiled slightly, preparing to take out the Celestial Fire and present it to Li Mu.

At that moment, the Purple Sky Thunder Beast flashed and spoke in a deep voice, “The gifting of the Celestial Fire is a significant event; it’s too rushed to conduct it now!”

As he spoke, the Purple Sky Thunder Beast gestured with its eyes toward another direction.

Li Mu and True Monarch Tianhong immediately became vigilant, looking towards the people from the Hundred Refinements Sect.

The two Divinity Transformation Venerables of the Hundred Refinements Sect were unperturbed by the crowd’s gazes, flickering over to stand beside Li Mu and the others.

Venerable Lei Hong and others followed, standing in front of the two, not wanting to disrupt the relationship between the sects, they greeted with smiles, “Venerable Jiang Yan, Venerable Huang Gang, I am grateful for your timely assistance in aiding our sect. Please, do come to the main hall so I can fulfill the role of a host.”

Venerable Jiang Yan and Venerable Huang Gang both gave a light hum, expressing their dissatisfaction with Sect Master Lei’s previous caution towards them.

Venerable Jiang Yan looked at Sect Master Lei Hong and said bluntly, “Sect Master Lei, thanks for the offer, but we have a matter to discuss with this True Monarch first.”

Sect Master Lei Hong’s face turned unpleasant, sighing inwardly, as expected, they were a step too late; a worldly Spiritual Object like the Celestial Fire is hard to resist even for a Divinity Transformation Great Power.

Li Mu slightly furrowed his brows, cautiously eyeing the two Divinity Transformation Venerables of the Hundred Refinements Sect, understanding that they wanted to intervene in the struggle for the Celestial Fire!

Watching the two Divinity Transformation cultivators approaching, True Monarch Tianhong felt a heaviness set in, realizing that his previous actions were highly inappropriate, revealing the matter of the Celestial Fire in public.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I deeply regret, having just escaped calamity, I was overly excited and forgot to be comprehensive!” True Monarch Tianhong looked at Li Mu helplessly, offering an apologetic smile.
