The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon relied on its keen senses and speed advantage to skillfully evade the attacks of the giant whale while simultaneously launching fierce counterattacks. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In a swift attack, the Flood Dragon bit down on the Blue Sea Giant Whale’s side fin, holding on tightly. The whale bellowed in pain and rolled its massive body violently, trying to escape the predicament.

However, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon held on to the whale’s side fin unwaveringly, refusing to let go despite the whale’s struggles.

Soon, the two deep-sea giant beasts engaged in a ferocious, monumental, life-or-death battle, causing the underwater world to churn with dark currents and tumultuous waves.

Li Mu watched the intense and brutal battlefield from afar, seeing the Flood Dragon still holding the advantage, he had no intention to intervene.

For the Flood Dragon to train the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to perfection, the number of high-tier giant whales it needed to hunt was not insignificant.

Seeing the Flood Dragon struggle so hard to kill a giant whale of the same tier, Li Mu furrowed his brows, pondering crafting a Tier Six Spirit Treasure specifically to counter such whale demon beasts.

With this thought, Li Mu immediately took action, inserting his Divine Sense into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl to select suitable refining materials.

The Tier Seven Extreme Yang Celestial Flame was with the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, so for this refinement, Li Mu could only use the Five Elements Spirit Fire he had gathered, and the tier of selected refining materials could not be too high.

Tier Five Spiritual Material - Nine-Eyed Spider Emperor Silk, Tier Five Spiritual Material - Red Copper Profound Crystal, ..., Li Mu’s mind was no longer on the battle as he selected over a dozen refining materials, contemplating on crafting a giant net-like Spiritual Artifact for the Flood Dragon, specifically for assisting in hunting giant whale demon beasts.

Time flew by, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The Flood Dragon bit down on the living spot of the Blue Sea Giant Whale, despite its struggling, the whale’s strength gradually diminished until it finally ceased struggling and lost its vitality.

The Flood Dragon slowly released its grip, and the whale’s body floated lifelessly on the sea surface.

At this moment, the sea surface had calmed down, with only a gentle breeze causing ripples. The Flood Dragon proudly raised its massive head and let out a deafening dragon roar towards the sky, announcing its victory in the battle.

Then, it began to enjoy its sumptuous dinner, gorging on the Blue Sea Giant Whale’s carcass.

Suddenly, Li Mu flew over the sea surface, throwing a crafted net-like Spirit Treasure to the Flood Dragon.

"This treasure has decent power and great tenacity. It can restrain sea race demon beasts. With it, you can catch more demon beasts effectively. Next, I won’t disturb your enjoyment of the hunt!" Li Mu looked at the Flood Dragon, a faint smile in his eyes, signaling.

After speaking, Li Mu looked around the sea region, then advised, "This sea region is not too far from Ten Thousand Stars Island, less than ten thousand miles away; the power of the Spirit Taming Contract Seal should allow me to sense. If you encounter a strong enemy needing assistance, just activate the Contract Seal to inform me, and I’ll come to your aid immediately."

"Thank you, Master!" The Flood Dragon looked up at Li Mu, nodding gratefully.

"No need for thanks between us. Cultivate well, strive to train the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to Great Perfection soon, and then prepare to cross the tribulation. Take care!" Li Mu smiled faintly, signaling.

After speaking, Li Mu summoned a Tier Six Spirit Sword, his figure flashed and landed on the sword, activating mana, and rode the Flying Sword swiftly towards Ten Thousand Stars Island.

The Flood Dragon watched as Li Mu’s figure disappeared into the distance, warmth surged in its heart, its green vertical eyes flashed with determination, and it lowered its head to continue eating eagerly.

The Flood Dragon exerted itself in running the Spirit Devouring Health Technique, converting the whale meat into nourishment for its physical body.

...

Time flew by, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu’s days on Ten Thousand Stars Island became comfortable and stable, traveling back and forth between Ten Thousand Stars Island and Crescent Island, sometimes acting as a Spirit Plant Cultivator caring for Spirit Plants, sometimes serving as a Spirit Appraiser in the Treasure Tower, appraising spiritual objects sold by guests.

Since the battle three years ago, no force had provoked Li’s Treasure Tower anymore, coupled with increasingly close cooperation with major merchants, the monthly transaction volume stabilized at the scale of tens of millions of top-grade Spirit Stones, allowing Li’s Treasure Tower to firmly establish its foothold on Ten Thousand Stars Island.

This kind of comfortable and peaceful life, I truly wish it could continue forever!

A flicker of hope appeared in Li Mu’s eyes, however, reality told him it was impossible. Whether it was news coming from Celestial Secret Tower or fluctuations in the spiritual material trading data, or the tightness of certain spiritual materials, ..., all hinted at a brewing huge storm.

The current calm before the storm is a sign of the impending tempest.

Li Mu lay in a reclining chair, resting with closed eyes, analyzing the various intelligence he had received, furrowing his brows pondering the retreat strategy.

Originally planning to peacefully cultivate in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, after reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, then head to the Central State Spirit Realm. However, the situation in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm is worsening; if not withdrawn to the Central State Spirit Realm soon, it will soon affect Ten Thousand Stars Island.

At that time, even leaving would be too late, and falling would be possible.

Yet, when thinking about withdrawing at this moment, there’s the trouble of settling two thousand acres of Spirit Plants on the island, which entails significant loss and could even interrupt the advancement opportunity of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

...

Since the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion consumed that segment of Tier Eight Ancient Bamboo, it successfully began a rapid promotion path; these years relying on Li’s Treasure Tower’s earnings in Spirit Stones, a large batch of High-tier Spiritual Materials was mostly fed to it.

Presently, in about half a year, the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion will advance to become a Tier Eight Heaven-Reaching Dao Artifact. If this critical channel for spiritual material resources from Li’s Treasure Tower is cut off now, the impact is significant.

Such a difficult choice!

Faced with these challenges, Li Mu felt overwhelmed, unable to decide.

Unknowingly, Xue’Er appeared beside Li Mu, a hint of hidden concern in her eyes; she sensed the complex emotions Li Mu currently had and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

"Master Li, you’re slacking off again! Sister Liu has prepared Spiritual Cuisine, get up and eat!"

Xue’Er quickly composed herself, feigned a cheerful smile, and shook Li Mu’s arm enthusiastically, inviting.

"Hmm! I’ll get up myself."

Li Mu smiled naturally, pretending to get up.

At this moment, Li Mu’s expression changed slightly, looking at Xue’Er, he said, "You and Yalan eat. I’m heading out for some matters."

As his words fell, Li Mu jumped up, two figures, Xiaojin and Xiaowa, followed closely. Before leaving, Li Mu used the Spirit Taming Contract Seal to notify them.

"Lord Li, where are you all going!" Xue’Er’s face changed greatly as she urgently called.

"Don’t worry, we’re going to fight; Xue’Er, take care of the house, we’ll be back soon." Xiaojin responded with sound transmission on behalf of Li Mu.

In the next moment, they left Ten Thousand Stars Island, Li Mu released the Earth Element Spirit Ship, and speeded swiftly towards Crescent Island.

Above Crescent Island, Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, Cyan Jade Ginseng King, and Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape were already waiting on the side; seeing the arrival of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, they immediately flew towards it.

Soon, Li Mu controlled the Earth Element Spirit Ship, speeding towards the sea region where the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was located.

"Master, what strong enemy did Qing Yue encounter; did it say?" Xiaojin’s eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at Li Mu concernedly.

"Yes! Yes! What kind of strong enemy, what tier!" Xiaowa excitedly asked, showing no concern about the threat of the strong enemy, even fearing the enemy not being strong enough.

These years, Xiaojin and Xiaowa served as warehouse security officers at Li’s Treasure Tower, which tired them out.

Their originally lively and active nature was gradually becoming steady in the monotonous, boring work, the long peaceful life made them extremely dull, feeling somewhat lifeless.

At this moment, hearing news of a battle, Xiaojin and Xiaowa couldn’t help but get excited, their blood boiling, beast blood boiling.

"You’ll know when we get there!" Li Mu’s eyes flashed with worry; this time assisting the Flood Dragon, he wasn’t entirely confident, as that fellow stirred up a huge trouble.
