Chapter 521: Chapter 293: Peering Into the Future (Part 2)

This precious Time Treasure no longer glimmers as brightly as before. It still hovers in the air, but now it bears several cracks. The powerful Time Power it emitted just now has inflicted a devastating blow.

This Time Treasure is probably not far from being scrapped. Li Mu sighed softly, feeling a wave of regret.

The Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, this Time Treasure, is the most precious and High Tier Spiritual Materials Li Mu has ever used while refining so many Spirit Treasures. It is also the Spirit Treasure that makes the most perfect use of the Power of Time and the Power of Cause and Effect.

Its destruction in this way now unsurprisingly causes Li Mu a great deal of heartache.

If in the future rare Time Spiritual Materials can be found again, it might be possible to refine it anew and restore it to its peak state. For now, Li Mu can only silently place the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl as a treasured possession.

However, with loss comes gain. Before the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle was damaged, it allowed Li Mu to glimpse many precious future scenes through this future vision.

Abandoning the plan to board the ’Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’ Merchant Ship had to be done. In the River of Time, Li Mu saw the ambush set by the Nine Demons Sect to intercept the merchant ship of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, with several Ancestor Void Refining Demons targeting him precisely.

Fortunately, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Taiyi Sect arrived in time to provide aid. He did not fall in this ambush, yet the situation was still not ideal.

Because the Double-Horned Cyan Cloud Flood Dragon failed to successfully cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation, there was a severe deficiency in the Five Elements Array. Both Xiaojin and Xiaowa, the two Spirit Beasts, also fell one after another in this earth-shattering battle, paying a heavy price.

It’s just a pity that the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle couldn’t hold up at the critical moment; otherwise, the activation of the Abyssal Passage and the emergence of the Profound Celestial Sword Array Daoist Monarch, the magnificent scenes of an unparalleled battle, could have been continued.

Li Mu sighed silently. The most urgent issue at present is still about the matter of the Double-Horned Cyan Cloud Flood Dragon crossing the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation.

No matter what price must be paid, it must successfully cross the Thunder Tribulation. Otherwise, with it missing, the Five Elements Array would not be able to exert its intended powerful life-saving effect.

Understanding the imperative, Li Mu’s figure flashed and he entered the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, appearing in the void above the Spiritual Pool.

Within the Spiritual Pool, the hundred-zhang body of the Double-Horned Cyan Cloud Flood Dragon lay sprawled, its eyes slightly closed, inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power with each breath. Under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, its cultivation progressively rose to the peak state, preparing to cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation.

Sensing Li Mu’s presence, the enormous eyes of the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon slowly opened, radiating a majestic glow. Its massive form somersaulted in the air before swiftly flying towards Li Mu’s direction.

“Qing Yue, greets the master!”

The voice of the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was deep and respectful. Its massive body halted before Li Mu, slightly bowing its head, expressing respect and loyalty to Li Mu.

“How are your preparations for the tribulation?” Li Mu asked, a look of concern and expectation in his eyes.

“In response to the master, I have fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass and the Dragon Soul Grass, and my body has been adjusted to a peak state. There’s a seventy percent chance of successfully crossing the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation,” the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon replied confidently.

Li Mu couldn’t help but show a wry smile. If he hadn’t foreseen the failure of the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon in crossing the tribulation, he might truly have believed its words.

Li Mu knew clearly in his heart that the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon had made great efforts and sacrifices to cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation. However, the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation is not so simple, and its current preparation is far from sufficient to successfully cross the tribulation.

“Do not be overconfident. The True Dragon Thunder Tribulation is not like ordinary tribulations; its power is so great that it can easily tear your body apart. Although you have cultivated to the peak of the Transformation Realm, to cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation you still need more preparation. Have you cultivated the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to the Great Perfection Realm?” Li Mu’s face sank, a hint of worry flashing through his eyes.

The Spirit Devouring Health Technique is an extremely profound body refining technique. Not only can it strengthen the physical body, when cultivated to the Great Success Realm, it can enhance talent, preserve bloodlines, and offer many other attributes. However, the difficulty of cultivating this technique is also immense, requiring vast resources and meticulous patience to cultivate to Great Success.

Upon hearing this, the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s eyes flashed with a hint of shame. It knew Li Mu’s concerns were not without reason. However, the cultivation of the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique is too challenging and requires painstaking effort over time, along with devouring many Spiritual Objects. It lacked the patience for that.

“Master, I have only cultivated the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to the third layer. Nonetheless, our Flood Dragon Race possesses a unique bloodline heritage. I have completed the Cyan Flood Dragon Body Refining Technique to Great Perfection, and its effects are not much inferior to the Spirit Devouring Health Technique,” the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon nervously defended itself, meeting Li Mu’s serious gaze.

Li Mu’s brows slightly furrowed. From his perspective, the Cyan Flood Dragon Body Refining Technique practiced by the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon could indeed rival the Spirit Devouring Health Technique. However, he was clearer that while these two techniques complemented each other, they each had their focus. The Cyan Flood Dragon Body Refining Technique emphasized mana condensation and bloodline inheritance, whereas the Spirit Devouring Health Technique leaned towards nurturing the physical body and enhancing its toughness.

“No! That bloodline body refining technique is insufficient to completely improve your talent. Wait until you have cultivated the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to Great Perfection before considering the tribulation,” Li Mu shook his head, speaking resolutely.

“Master! I have already sensed the imminence of the tribulation!” the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s expression changed slightly, and it spoke urgently to Li Mu.

“Then find a way to suppress your cultivation. Your current state is not suitable for the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation!” Li Mu’s tone was indisputable, he said solemnly.

“What! How can that be!” the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was stunned, questioning.

“To tell you the truth, I have just exhausted thirty years of lifespan to peer into the future through divination, and your fate is to fail the tribulation, falling under the Thunder Tribulation. Do you have any doubts?” Li Mu looked at the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon and asked heavily.

“What!”

The Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was dumbfounded upon hearing Li Mu’s words. It knew that Li Mu wouldn’t tell it this news without good reason, surely stemming from his care and concern. However, this news was nothing short of a thunderstorm out of a clear sky for it.

The Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon believed Li Mu wouldn’t say such things lightly unless he had a firm understanding. Observing a streak of white among his hair from the cost of peering into the River of Fate further confirmed it.

For a moment, the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon experienced a mix of emotions, with a flicker of loss and confusion in its eyes. It had diligently cultivated, hoping to one day cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation and become a true member of the Dragon Race. Yet now it was informed of its impending failure; it was somewhat hard to accept at the moment.

Seeing the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s despondent expression, Li Mu also felt some pity and quickly reminded: “Don’t worry too much, just trust me. As long as you cultivate the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to Perfection as I require, you’ll surely be able to cross the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation.”

“Thank you, Master, I know what to do! However, the Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines required for cultivating the Spirit Devouring Health Technique are quite significant!” The Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon nodded silently, somewhat embarrassed, looking at Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled gently and said softly, “Don’t worry about such trifles; just focus on cultivating. Leave the rest to me.”

As he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand slightly, and a large number of Pill Bottles appeared in midair. These Pill Bottles emitted various Spirit Lights, some bright red like fire, some blue like ice, some green like jade, indicating the attributes and effects of the Pills within.

“These Pills should be enough for you to cultivate for a period. Remember my words, do not rush. The path of cultivation needs to be gradual; don’t be impetuous for quick success.” Li Mu said, as he sent the Pill Bottles to the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.

“Yes, Master! I will not disappoint your expectations.” The Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon expressed gratitude as it looked at the Pill Bottles before it.

Li Mu nodded and then flew towards the Five Elements Spirit Mountain at the center of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, preparing to refine a batch of Tribulation Crossing Spiritual Artifacts for the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.
