I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 387 - 235: Ji Yun Sets the Stage

Seeing Venerable Kumu’s reaction, Venerable Ji Yun secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"I’ve sent people to investigate. This ’Sword Immortal Li’ has extraordinarily monstrous talent, advanced to Nascent Soul at the age of a hundred, possessing high cultivation at such a young age. He is complete in the Five Elements, with Sword Heart Clarity, and is also an Artifact Refining Master capable of refining Postnatal Spiritual Treasures. Compared to the Celestial Prides of the Eight Great Clans of Central State, he’s no less formidable. With his strength, he’s definitely capable of ranking in the top ten of the Celestial Dragon List."

...

"The talents of the Kun Family have waned, and for a millennium, no disciple has made it onto the Celestial Dragon List. Soon, the Cangyuan Secret Realm will open, and this Sword Immortal Li is undoubtedly a major variable."

"Our Ji Family’s genius, Xuanming True Monarch, barely ranks ninth on the Celestial Dragon List. Although strong, he can only fight to a stalemate with ordinary Divinity Transformation powerhouses and might not be a match for this Sword Immortal Li..."

"Our Ji Family and the Kun Family hold deep grudges... At that time, if this Sword Immortal Li, under the guidance of the Kun Family, specifically targets Xuanming True Monarch, and if he is defeated, the opportunities within the Cangyuan Secret Realm may have nothing to do with our Ji Family."

Venerable Ji Yun spoke incessantly, detailing the dangers involved, constantly observing Venerable Kumu’s expression.

Venerable Kumu frowned, pondering with a serious expression, somewhat agreeing with Venerable Ji Yun’s judgment.

The Cangyuan Secret Realm is a small world, a resource pool jointly guarded by the Eight Great Clans of Central State, opening only once every millennium, containing countless rare resources, concerning the rise and fall of a clan, allowing no losses.

"We absolutely cannot let the Kun Family rise due to this person. Such a monstrous talent must be strangled in the cradle early."

"Where is this boy now?" Venerable Kumu looked at Ji Yun and asked.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, he is now with Tianshang Supreme and Venerable Kun Ling, heading to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, intending to seize the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit from the Soul-devouring Race." Venerable Ji Yun truthfully reported.

Tianshang and Kun Ling are actually taking him along; they highly value this Nascent Soul Cultivator!

"Since that is the case, you should look for an opportunity to kill him."

Venerable Kumu said somewhat lazily, not planning to provoke Tianshang Supreme now.

Venerable Ji Yun naturally understood Venerable Kumu’s intention; he did not want to confront Tianshang over a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After all, not every clan member is willing to selflessly toil for the clan, doing thankless tasks.

Moreover, Tianshang Supreme is extremely powerful. Though Venerable Kumu is in the Late-Stage Void Refining Realm, he too cultivates highly advanced techniques, much stronger than ordinary Void Refining Realm cultivators.

However, Tianshang Supreme cultivates Mental Cultivation Techniques, and his strength is equally unfathomable. In a real confrontation, it’s uncertain who would win, and Venerable Kumu naturally wouldn’t want to get caught up in this unpleasantness.

Venerable Ji Yun had already set the chessboard, determined to use Venerable Kumu this time to remove Kun Ling, the significant threat in her heart.

"Grand Elder, I believe we should act immediately. Stop Tianshang Supreme and others from obtaining the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit. Amidst the contention, I can seize the chance to kill this ’Sword Immortal Li’." Venerable Ji Yun suggested.

"Hmph, you simply want to use a borrowed knife to kill. If Venerable Kun Ling secures the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit, he has a high chance of breaking through, reaching the Void Refining Realm. At that time, he’ll come after you for sure, and I won’t be able to protect you." Venerable Kumu sneered, waving his hand, sending a fierce wind onto Ji Yun’s delicate form, trying to blow her away.

Venerable Ji Yun gritted her teeth, withstood the violent gale, and responded deeply, "Grand Elder, I do have this intent, but it’s more for the sake of the clan. Our Eight Great Clans have been vying for supremacy for ten thousand years."

"The resources obtained from the Cangyuan Secret Realm have forged the foundation of each clan. For thousands of years, the Eight Great Clans have fought bitterly over the Cangyuan Secret Realm, with countless deaths and injuries, eventually establishing the Nascent Soul Grand Competition to compete for entry slots."

"Now, we’ve barely managed to pull the Kun Family down, but if this person allows the Kun Family to rise again, it will be difficult to suppress them!"

"In the past few hundred years, our clan has birthed a hundred Nascent Souls, yet only Xuanming True Monarch can fulfill the clan’s expectations, squeezing into the eighth spot on the Celestial Dragon List. As far as I know, the Elders within the clan and the Clan Leader all place their hopes on him. If this time the Cangyuan Secret Realm undergoes abnormal changes because of Sword Immortal Li, the Supreme Elders and the main Clan Leader will certainly vent their anger on us."

"Moreover, our Ji Family and the Kun Family are incompatible like fire and water. If you, at this moment, solve this potential threat for the Clan Leaders, you will surely receive generous rewards, possibly even a chance to enter the Divine Soul Purification Tower. Then, Grand Elder, you’ll have more assurance to break through the Void Refining Realm and enter the Supreme Unity Realm. Please reconsider."

Venerable Ji Yun spoke ceaselessly, reasoning meticulously. Venerable Kumu, who originally felt she had plotted against him, after hearing her analysis, slowly relaxed his grip.

Venerable Kumu withdrew the Spiritual Pressure hurricane, causing Venerable Ji Yun’s body to wobble slightly, almost falling.

Seeing the change in Venerable Kumu’s gaze, Venerable Ji Yun’s heart tightened, perceiving his hesitation.

Venerable Ji Yun pressed forward, respectfully saying, "Grand Elder, I will immediately report this intelligence to the clan regarding the seriousness of this matter. Moreover, they are traveling a long way; they are in the open, we are in the shadows, with deliberate planning but unawareness, there might be a chance to eliminate Tianshang, Kun Ling, and those old fellows together."

Venerable Kumu’s eyes flashed with interest, stirred by Venerable Ji Yun’s words.

"If it’s possible to eliminate them, then it’s acceptable, however, if the action fails, Kun Family’s retaliation will be difficult to handle!" Venerable Kumu said hesitantly.
