Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

With a deafening roar, the sky and earth shattered!

Billions of gray and pale roots collided violently in the void.

The roots intertwined, and the gray and white Dao light exploded, carrying the power of terrifying Dao principles, tearing, strangling, and penetrating; under the bombardment of the gray roots, the pale roots collapsed inch by inch, and the eerie white liquid splashed out. The pale roots wrapped around the gray roots, and the curse Dao traces were like a bone-deep carbuncle, frantically eroding.

Beneath the Chaos Dao Tree, Li Mu's eyes swirled with chaotic star vortexes as he formed hand seals, unleashing a torrent of chaotic Dao essence.

Ten thousand strange trees swayed in unison, their leaves opening their mouths to shriek. The shrieks were silent, yet they shook the very soul. Hundreds of millions of corpses opened their eyes, their deathly gazes locking onto Li Mu. Curses and Dao traces surged like a tide, pressing down layer upon layer.

The Chaos Tree trembled violently, its trunk turned gray and its light dimmed, and it broke into three parts.

Mingyue let out a muffled groan, her silver eyes dimmed, and the puppet-patterned light screen spun wildly, analyzing the Dao traces and rhythms contained within the shriek.

The eerie white void brightened, and the roots of ten thousand eerie trees exploded simultaneously, releasing a ghastly white liquid. Within the liquid, billions of corpses melted together, turning into a ghastly white liquid that converged towards the oldest eerie tree in the center.

The giant eye of the demon lord opened.

Deep within the pupils, endless void, endless vast land, and endless death are reflected.

A sinister thought descends.

Li Mu's soul trembled violently, and illusions arose before his eyes—the vast land collapsed, the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors was burned, the corpses of Xue'er, Xiao Jin, Gu Xi, Hao Tian and other ancestors hung from the roots of the strange tree, and billions of living beings wailed and perished.

Li Mu snorted coldly, and with a fierce twist of his chaotic will, the illusion shattered.

"Playing tricks!"

Li Mu raised his hand and grasped it, and the Chaos Giant Axe materialized in his palm. The axe blade was gray and reflected the scene of the creation of heaven and earth.

With a swift movement, the axe fell.

A gray line ripped through the eerie white void, striking directly at the Tree of the Evil Lord.

With a loud "clang," the trunk of the strange tree split open, revealing a gaping wound thousands of feet wide, from which viscous sap gushed forth.

The demon lord let out a shrill scream, its demonic eyes locking onto Li Mu, endless resentment surfacing deep within its pupils.

The next moment, the roots of the ten thousand strange trees trembled in unison, and billions of pale white roots surged out like waves. At the end of each root hung a strange white fruit. The fruit split open, revealing fragments of the Dao Realm that had been devoured. Within the fragments, countless corpses wriggled and let out venomous roars.

"You've swallowed so many Dao Ancestors?" Li Mu's face was full of disgust.

"Roar!"

Ten thousand strange trees roared in unison, their human-faced leaves spewing out curses and Dao traces. Hundreds of millions of corpses opened their eyes, their deathly gazes weaving into a net that blanketed Li Mu.

Li Mu neither dodged nor avoided the Chaos Dao Tree's roots, which surged forth like countless writhing dragons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The roots strangled it, and the gray and white light exploded, causing the surrounding void to collapse.

The chaotic roots pierced through the pale roots, drawing upon their essence. The pale roots then entangled the chaotic roots, and the cursed traces frantically eroded them. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the eerie white void trembled incessantly.

Mingyue's silver eyes darted around, and the puppet-patterned light screen frantically analyzed the information. Suddenly, she shouted, "Master, the core of the Ghost Clan's origin is at the root of that Ghost Lord Tree!"

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and the Chaos Giant Axe flew out of his hand, transforming into a gray light that slashed straight at the roots of the strange tree.

With a "whoosh," the axe blade cleaved three feet into the root, sap gushing out, and a pale figure stepped out from the crack.

Its entire body was eerily white, its skin like solidified amber, its muscles bulging and covered with twisted, dark patterns. Its head was bald, its features indistinct, with only two clusters of pale flames flickering deep within its empty eye sockets.

Lord of the Ghost Clan.

The demonic creature's form blurred, and in the next instant, it darted in front of Li Mu, its pale, monstrous claws tearing through the void and plunging straight into his heart.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a horizontal slash with the Chaos Giant Axe!
"Boom!" A loud noise.

The immense force exploded, sending Li Mu staggering back tens of thousands of feet. The Demon Lord swayed slightly, flames surging from his eye sockets.

"He has some strength."

Li Mu shook his hand and laughed jokingly.

The Demon Lord remained silent, then flashed again, wielding both claws in unison. The pale white light condensed into two beams of world-destroying death light, which shot towards the Demon Lord with a deafening roar.

Li Mu raised his hand and pressed down, causing the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree to grow rapidly and intertwine to form a shield in front of him.

Boom!

The death ray struck the root shield, slurry splashed, and 30% of the roots broke off, forcing Li Mu to retreat again.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Demon Lord attacked, its pale claws tearing and grabbing, each strike carrying the power to end the deathly silence, causing the void to corrode and collapse.

Li Mu unleashed a series of slashes with his Chaos Giant Axe, the axe light crisscrossing as it clashed fiercely with the monstrous claws.

clang!clang!clang!
The clang of metal against metal reverberated through the eerie white void, each collision blasting open large rifts in the void.

Mingyue stood beneath the Chaos Dao Tree, her silver eyes fixed on the battle, the puppet-patterned light screen swirling wildly, analyzing the Dao traces and rhythms of each strike from the Demon Lord.

"Master, its power originates from the Ten Thousand Strange Trees; we must sever the connection first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu's gaze sharpened.

The Chaos Giant Axe was released from his hand, transforming into billions of gray axe lights that slashed at the pale roots all around!

Chi Chi Chi!
The roots were severed, sap gushed forth, and ten thousand strange trees swayed in unison, their shrill cries intensifying as the leaves of the human-faced trees grew louder.

The demon's eyes flashed with flames, and its claws snapped shut, grabbing Li Mu's arms.

"die!"

A pale, liquid-like light surged from the Demon Lord's arms, frantically eroding Li Mu's body like millions of venomous pythons.

Li Mu's arms were enveloped in a grayish light that clashed fiercely with the liquid light. Dense gray-white lines appeared on his skin, and wherever the lines passed, the flesh and blood subtly stiffened.

Mingyue exclaimed in surprise, "Master!"

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes swirled with chaotic starlight.

The next moment, the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree surged, and billions of gray roots, like spears, pierced fiercely into the back of the Demon Lord!

puff!puff!puff!

The roots penetrated the body of the Demon Lord, frantically drawing upon its essence.

Flames flickered wildly in the eyes of the demonic master. It released Li Mu with its claws and grabbed the roots with its backhand. A pale, liquid light surged out and corroded the roots.

"Trying to back out now?" Li Mu sneered, his arms suddenly reaching out to grab the Ghost Lord's shoulders tightly. Chaotic Dao Yuan surged wildly, transforming into countless chaotic chains that bound the two together.

"To perish together?" The devil's thoughts were icy cold.

"You too?"

Li Mu let out a cold laugh, and the next moment, the Chaos Dao Tree suddenly expanded, its trunk radiating a gray light, and countless roots and tendrils stretched out, like countless tentacles frantically piercing into the Dao body of the Ghost Lord.

At the same time, the roots of ten thousand strange trees broke through the soil, pierced into Li Mu's body, and frantically absorbed his essence.

For a moment, Li Mu, the Ghost Lord, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Trees formed a bizarre cycle in the Ghostly White Void.

The primordial chaos surged into the Demon Lord, and the primordial chaos of the Demon Clan surged into Li Mu. Ten thousand Demon Trees resided within them, frantically seizing the primordial chaos of the two, and then nourishing them in return.

Time passed slowly, and the three parties devoured and corrupted each other, drawing upon each other's essence.

As time went by, the three became almost indistinguishable.

Mingyue's face turned deathly pale. The puppet pattern light screen spun wildly, reflecting the cycle in which the three people's auras rapidly rose and then plummeted.

Li Mu and the Ghost Lord locked eyes; one's eyes were filled with swirling chaotic star vortexes, while the other's eyes were pale and flames raged wildly.

"You cannot devour me." The devil's thoughts were icy cold.

"is it?"

Li Mu grinned, and with a thought, the Chaos Treasure Palace burst open. The palace gates swung open, revealing a churning sea of ​​chaotic energy within, with countless fragments of Dao principles rising and falling. A terrifying devouring power surged forth, enveloping the Demon Lord.

The demon's eye sockets flickered with flames, and a pale, radiant light surged forth to resist the devouring power.

However, as the Chaos Treasure Palace's devouring power grew stronger, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the Demon Lord's body, and sap seeped out from the cracks and was absorbed by the Treasure Palace.

Sensing the danger, the ten thousand strange trees swayed in unison, their leaves whistling as countless pale roots pierced the body of the strange master, attempting to help him stabilize his foundation.

Li Mu's eyes flashed, and the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree grew rapidly, also piercing into the body of the Ghost Lord, engaging in a fierce struggle with the roots of the Ghost Tree.

The Demon Lord stands in the center, becoming the battlefield for the two sides to contend for.

The primordial chaos surged in, and the primordial energy of the Ghost Clan surged out. The roots of ten thousand Ghost Trees frantically absorbed its energy, which in turn nourished the Ghost Clan's Dao principles. The Ghost Lord's body became increasingly transparent, and the pale white flames in his eye sockets flickered uncertainly.

"You... will regret it." The Demon Lord's will weakened.

Li Mu remained silent, and the power of the Chaos Treasure Palace's devouring ability increased by three points.

time flies.

I don't know how much time passed.

The Demon Lord's body became completely transparent, and the flames in his eye sockets went out, leaving only two faint rays of light.

The myriad strange trees sensed that the situation was hopeless and their roots began to retreat.

How could Li Mu allow them to escape? The roots of the Chaos Dao Tree grew rapidly, tracing back up along the roots of the Strange Trees and piercing into the trunks of ten thousand Strange Trees.

Chi Chi Chi!
Its roots penetrated the tree, frantically absorbing the essence of the Ghost Clan.

Ten thousand strange trees swayed in unison, their leaves whistling with human faces, and curses surged forth like a tide, yet they could not harm the roots of chaos in the slightest.

The roots of chaos penetrated deeper and deeper, absorbing energy at an ever-increasing speed.

A strange tree withered.

Two strange trees withered.

Ten plants.

One hundred plants.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand strange trees withered one after another, their trunks shriveled, their crowns decayed, human faces and leaves turned to ashes, and billions of corpses disintegrated and vanished.

The vast, white expanse trembled violently and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Mu stood in the center of the void, the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree piercing into every withered and strange tree, frantically absorbing their remaining essence. The body of the Strange Lord became completely transparent, the two faint lights extinguished, and transformed into a fist-sized strange white crystal core, which floated in the void.

On the surface of the crystal core, countless twisted Dao patterns flowed, and within them, one could faintly see the phantoms of ten thousand strange trees, the phantoms of billions of corpses, and the final struggle of the strange master.

Mingyue flew forward, excitedly exclaiming, "Master!"

Li Mu raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The crystal core fell into his palm, and it was icy cold to the touch. A terrifying, deathly power frantically eroded his palm.

Chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth, enveloping the crystal core and suppressing its resistance.

"Master, what is this?" Mingyue stared at the crystal core.

"The core of the Ghost Clan's origin." Li Mu introduced with a smile: "The ten thousand Ghost Trees, the Ghost Lord, and the endless vast land and countless living beings they devoured were all refined here."

Mingyue gasped.

Li Mu carefully put away the crystal core, his gaze sweeping over the collapsing, eerie white void.

The void shattered, and pale white liquid splattered everywhere. Countless fragments of corpses floated in the air. The remains of the vast land and the remnants of the living beings that had been devoured by the Ghost Clan were now freed, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the depths of the void.

"Let's go!" Li Mu flicked his sleeve, and a hazy light enveloped the bright moon.

Then, with a flash, he disappeared into the collapsing, eerie white void.

……

Deep within the void, turbulent currents surged.

Li Mu, carrying the bright moon, traveled swiftly, the hazy light breaking through layers of turbulent currents.

Looking back, the eerie white void had completely collapsed, transforming into a massive black hole that frantically devoured everything around it.

"Master, the Ghost Clan was wiped out just like that?" Mingyue still couldn't believe it and asked curiously.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. This is just one branch of the Ghost Clan. The void is boundless and the land is endless. There are countless branches of the Ghost Clan."

Li Mu, carrying the bright moon, escaped from the void black hole. The hazy light of the Dao broke through the turbulent currents and traveled three hundred million miles westward.

Ahead, a band of broken stars appeared, with the stars suspended in the air and the turbulent currents thin. In the center, a desolate star lay horizontally, its body charred black, its source veins dried up, devoid of any sign of life.

Li Mu stopped, the chaotic will swept over him, and he descended directly.

Landing on the star surface, Li Mu raised his hand and pressed down, and a gray light surged out. The core of the withered star suddenly opened up, revealing a void cave with a diameter of a hundred feet.

Li Mu, carrying the bright moon, descended into the cave and sat cross-legged inside.

"I need to refine the source of the strangeness." Li Mu looked at Mingyue and instructed, "You guard the cave entrance. If anything unusual happens, call me immediately."

Mingyue solemnly obeyed the command, her silver eyes sparkling, and puppet patterns spread out, weaving into a fine light curtain at the cave entrance. The puppet patterns flowed on the light curtain, illuminating the vast void.

Li Mu reached out and summoned the strange white crystal core, which appeared in his palm.

As soon as the crystal core appeared, the cave suddenly turned cold, and a strange power surged forth. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the stone walls, and a strange white halo seeped from the depths of the cracks.
Li Mu lifted the crystal core, and chaotic Dao Yuan surged out, enveloping the crystal core with gray Dao light, which quickly seeped into it.

The crystal core trembled violently, spewing out eerie white light that frantically eroded the chaotic Dao essence. Countless twisted Dao patterns on the surface of the crystal core suddenly lit up, and within it, the phantoms of ten thousand strange trees swayed, while the phantoms of billions of corpses opened their eyes. Twisted wills and frantic shrieks continuously assaulted Li Mu's soul.

Li Mu's chaotic will sank into the crystal core, and the scene before him changed abruptly.

A strange white void appeared, with ten thousand strange trees standing tall. In the center stood the Tree of the Strange Lord, its trunk as white as corpse wax, its leaves swaying like human faces. The giant eye of the Strange Lord opened and stared intently at him.

"A prisoner, trying to struggle!"

Witnessing this scene, Li Mu smiled coldly, his face full of mockery.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chaos Dao Fire surged wildly from Li Mu's fingertips, its gray flames covering the eerie white crystal core.

The white crystal core trembled violently, spewing forth white liquid light that fiercely clashed with the chaotic Dao fire. For a moment, the crackling sounds of the Dao echoed throughout the cave. The white liquid light corroded the chaotic Dao fire, while the chaotic Dao fire incinerated the white liquid light. The two completely different forces of the Dao began to tear each other apart.

A gray light flickered in Li Mu's eyes as his chaotic will sank deep into the crystal core.

"You can't refine me." The Demon Lord's thoughts were twisted and piercing, filled with hatred for Li Mu.

"Heh! Is that so!" Li Mu chuckled coldly, and the Chaos Dao Fire surged wildly into the crystal core. The gray flames swept across the eerie white void, and the phantoms of ten thousand strange trees were enveloped by the Dao Fire. The human-faced trees and leaves were burned inch by inch, and the curse Dao traces turned to ash and scattered.

The giant eye of the Demon Lord trembled violently, and a ghastly white liquid gushed forth, engulfing the Chaos Fire.

Amidst the radiant light, countless corpses emerged, their deathly gazes locking onto Li Mu, shrieking incessantly, unleashing a torrent of eerie power.

Li Mu's soul trembled violently, and illusions arose before his eyes—the vast land collapsed, and Xue'er and Xiao Jin hung from the roots of a strange tree.

Li Mu snorted coldly, and his chaotic will slashed out like a knife, shattering the illusion.

"Having devoured so many lives, it's time to pay the price!"

Li Mu smiled coldly, and the Chaos Dao Fire suddenly intensified. The gray flames surged out of the crystal core like a tide, rolled back, and frantically seeped into the crystal core, fiercely fighting against the eerie white light.

The surface of the eerie white crystal core was covered with cracks, and the power of its strange path began to flicker erratically.

Mingyue stood guard at the cave entrance, a hint of tension creeping onto her usually calm face, while the puppet-patterned light screen illuminated the entire cave.

Inside the cave, Li Mu was surrounded by a hazy, gray Dao light, and the eerie white crystal core in his palm trembled violently, its eerie white light occasionally breaking through the chaotic Dao domain and corroding the surroundings. (End of Chapter)
