Chapter 619 - 338: Celestial Fire Acquired Again (Part 2)
"Congratulations Master Li, for successfully overcoming the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation!" Ye Qiuming stepped forward, looking delighted as he congratulated Li Mu with clasped hands, while taking out a jade box from his bosom and offering it.
"Friend Li, your skills are remarkable indeed! Truly a talent of heavenly endowment!" Venerable Kun Ling praised with a smile, then deftly slipped a storage ring into Li Mu’s bosom.
"Master!" The beasts looked at Li Mu, calling out in unison with joy.
"Congratulations, Friend Li, the Great Dao is within reach!" Venerable Tianshang admired as he looked at Li Mu, handing him a cloth bag in congratulations.
"Thank you, Elder Tian, Elder Kun!" Li Mu felt warmth in his heart as he looked at the treasures in his hands.
At that moment, a venerable elder dressed in splendid garments slowly walked up to Li Mu, his demeanor respectful, holding a treasure box with both hands, saying, "Master Li, this is my gift to you, wishing you success with the Thunder Tribulation!"
Li Mu received the treasure box and, somewhat surprised, said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Lin. This gift is far too precious."
Venerable Linzu smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Master Li, now that you are a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, it’s time to change the way you address me. Just call me Lin, or refer to me as Fellow Daoist."
Li Mu nodded and with a smile said, "In that case, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lin."
At this point, another Divinity Transformation Cultivator hurriedly approached with a fawning smile, handing Li Mu a brocade box, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, congratulations! A small gift, not to be regarded as significant!"
As this cultivator acted, people quickly surrounded Li Mu. Apart from Elder Kun Ling and other Refining Void elders, there were many Divinity Transformation Cultivators who came upon hearing the news, over twenty in total, witnessing how Li Mu crossed the tribulation and subdued the celestial fire.
All the Divinity Transformation Cultivators understood well that with Li Mu’s astonishing artifact refining skills, it wouldn’t be an issue to refine Tier Seven Dao Artifacts in the future. This was the perfect opportunity to present gifts and establish connections for future refining needs.
Hence, these cultivators eagerly offered their treasured gifts to Li Mu, including precious materials, thousand-year spirit pills, and rare spirit plants. Their eyes were filled with eager hope to leave a deep impression on Li Mu.
Li Mu accepted each with a smile, thanking them repeatedly.
"Haha! Thank you so much, everyone. Three months from now, I host a gathering at Crescent Island, and welcome everyone to attend! I’ve just crossed the Thunder Tribulation and need some time to stabilize my cultivation, so I apologize for not being able to entertain you now." After receiving all the gifts, Li Mu looked at the crowd and laughed heartily.
The crowd expressed understanding, bid farewell to Li Mu, and reluctantly departed.
Li Mu returned to Crescent Island with his beasts, promptly activating the island’s array, concealing its presence once more with dense fog.
"I’ll be in closed-door training for a while, unless it’s important, don’t disturb me!"
Li Mu solemnly instructed the excited Xue’Er, Xiaojin, and Qing Yue.
"Understood, Master, you go on with your training, we’ll guard here!" The beasts responded in unison, happily seeing Li Mu off.
This time, Li Mu’s successful crossing of the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation was indeed a significant shock and a joyful event for them.
Soon, Li Mu entered the cultivation room of the four-sided house, his figure flashed, entering the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, starting to count the harvest from overcoming the tribulation.
Li Mu first looked at his character panel.

Looking at the character panel’s splendid attributes, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised. After breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, his lifespan increased by three thousand years compared to the Nascent Soul Stage, over three times that of average Divinity Transformation Cultivators, thanks to successfully crossing the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation. His Primordial Spirit became even stronger, possessing the ability to divide the Primordial Spirit, which is a hallmark of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, meaning Li Mu could finally plan to refine the Five Elements Clone and Yin Yang Clone daily.
Even more delightful was during this crossing of the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation, Li Mu obtained abundant star essence, allowing the Star Nebula Observation Method to upgrade again, breaking through Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter, upgrading to the second Chapter - Star God Chapter, successfully deriving Divine Thought Divine Techniques - Fixed Star Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit status underwent a qualitative leap, and the power of divine thought became increasingly strong.
It was precisely with the help of ’Fixed Star Primordial Spirit’ this Divine Thought Divine Technique that Li Mu successfully overcame the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation, allowing him to successfully tame the Tier Seven Celestial Fire - Yin Yang Thunder Flame.
With the acquisition of the second celestial fire, the Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method, which was stalled at level 3, could finally be upgraded again.
Li Mu used his divine sense on the character panel to add points to the Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method.
[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method proficiency +1.]
...
[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method proficiency +1, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method level increased to: Level 4, you comprehended the divine technique: Fourth Heaven - Celestial Fire Melting Spirit.]
[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method proficiency +1.]

[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method proficiency +1.]
...

[Ding, condition not met, lacking celestial fire, Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method cannot be upgraded further.]
After consuming nearly twenty million free skill points, Li Mu upgraded the Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method to level 6, successfully comprehending three refining divine techniques.
Li Mu quickly closed his eyes, his divine thought becoming involved in researching the might of these three divine techniques.
Each level up in the Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method grants one divine technique, proving its extraordinariness. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have such formidable prerequisites, requiring three different celestial fires for completion.
The Level One Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method’s First Heaven Divine Technique - Celestial Fire Furnace, as its name suggests, controls the celestial fire to condense a Heaven and Earth Furnace, refining spiritual artifacts.
The Level Two Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method’s Second Heaven Divine Technique - Celestial Fire Spirit Forging, as its name suggests, forges the foundation for an artifact spirit simultaneously during artifact refining, casting artifact spirits with celestial fire.
The Level Three Eightfold Celestial Fire Refining Method’s Third Heaven Divine Technique - Refining Heaven and Earth, during refining, integrates the Heaven and Earth Dao Principles, allowing refined spiritual artifacts and spirit treasures to carry Dao Principles, forming a Dao Seal, ... gaining the ability to promote to higher tiers.
In past years, Li Mu’s artifact refining practice has given him deep understanding and mastery over the three divine techniques. Each application felt like an intimate dialogue with Heavenly Dao Law and the way of artifact spirits. Especially after consuming the Nine Yin Spirit Grass and Nine Yang Spirit Grass, not only did it significantly enhance his spiritual energy, but it also allowed him to wield the three refining divine techniques more adeptly.
Owing to such deep insights, Li Mu brought the three refining divine techniques to their fullest potential. Thanks to these divine techniques, his success rate in refining Tier Six Spiritual Treasures was remarkably high, each refining seemingly merging with Heaven and Earth and resonating with Dao Charm.
Now, with the three new refining divine techniques—Celestial Fire Melting Spirit, Celestial Fire God, Celestial Fire Condensing Path—already touching on the realm of Dao Artifact refining, this was a domain Li Mu had never approached. For him, it was both a challenge and an opportunity.
Time flew by, Li Mu underwent a session of closed-door training, absorbing the gains from this great realm breakthrough.
