Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The two dragons tore at each other, and the gray and red light of the Dao exploded in the void.

Half of the chaotic dragon's body shattered, its gray scales turning into countless specks of light, and its dragon blood sprayed out, each drop of blood piercing through the void for thousands of miles.

The crimson mark between the brows of the Blazing Dao Lord opened, and the source of the Burning Heaven Dao Fire surged forth like a tide. The fire dragon's body swelled by 30%, its scales materialized, and its crimson-gold flames blazed brightly. The dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of Burning Dao Golden Flame, which swept over in an instant.

With a thought, Li Mu's Chaos Treasure Palace burst open, its gates swung wide, and endless Chaos Dao Yuan surged forth, pouring into the giant dragon's body. Half of the dragon's shattered body healed at a visible speed, its scales regenerated, its eyes lit up, and a hazy Dao light soared into the sky.

The two dragons clashed fiercely, and in an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split apart. Hundreds of millions of miles of void collapsed, and countless void rifts spread wildly, swallowing everything around them.

Li Mu retreated ten thousand miles, his entire body shrouded in a gray haze as the light of his path vanished.

The Blazing Dao Lord stepped forward, standing atop the fire dragon's head, looking down at Li Mu, and sneered, "Mid-stage Dao Transformation, you're the first one to have reached this point."

Li Mu smiled calmly: "You've held on this long? This is just the beginning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu formed a hand seal.

The chaotic dragon roared to the sky, its body disintegrating into billions of gray light spots. These light spots converged and condensed into a giant ten thousand feet tall. The giant was entirely gray, with bulging muscles and chaotic fire swirling around it. It held a gray giant axe, the blade of which reflected the scene of the creation of heaven and earth.

The Chaos Giant took a step forward, traversing tens of thousands of miles of void. Its giant axe slashed horizontally, tearing through the gray sky, heading straight for the Blazing Dao Lord.

The Blazing Dao Lord snorted coldly, and the Heavenly Flame of Burning Heaven surged wildly. The fire dragon's body contracted and transformed into a crimson-gold Dao sword, which fell into his palm. With each stroke of the sword, the crimson-gold sword light cleaved through the void.

With a deafening clang, the sword and axe clashed, exploding in crimson and gray, causing the void to collapse, and a massive aftershock swept across billions of miles.

Li Mu staggered back a hundred miles, while the Blazing Emperor Dao Master swayed slightly.

The Blazing Dao Master's eyes were gloomy, and the Burning Heaven Dao Sword was held horizontally in front of him, its blade covered with cracks: "You're only at the mid-stage of the Dao Transformation realm, yet you managed to withstand ten thousand of my attacks without dying. You're quite something! But that's all you've got!"

"Is that so! Bring on any other tricks you have!" Li Mu smiled calmly, with the Chaos Giant standing majestically before him.

"Very good!" The Blazing Dao Lord laughed in extreme anger.

"Burning Heaven and Refining Domain, Nine Suns Sealing the Boundary." The Blazing Dao Lord formed hand seals, and nine crimson suns spun simultaneously, their golden flames surging a hundredfold. Points of white light shone from the heart of the flames, burning through the void and annihilating the laws of the Dao.

Li Mu stood at the center of the formation, his Chaotic Dao Domain unfolding, a hazy Dao light protecting his body.

Golden flames poured down, completely enveloping the condensed Dao Domain.

"Refine!" The Blazing Dao Lord uttered a single word, and nine crimson suns shone brightly, golden flames surged like a tide, layer upon layer, covering the sky and the earth, burning through the void, the Chaos Dao Domain was scorching hot, and the Chaos Dao Source was also burned.

The nine crimson suns spun ever faster, and golden flames poured down like a tidal wave.

Li Mu's heart sank, and the gray Dao light around his body contracted rapidly. The Chaotic Dao Domain was reduced to within a hundred miles of his body, and the concentration of Chaotic Dao Qi increased ten thousand times.

However, the golden flames of the Burning Dao followed closely behind, coiling around it, and with a 'sizzling' sound, the gray Dao source was continuously burned and refined by the Burning Dao fire.

"You want to refine me?" Chaotic star vortexes spun rapidly in Li Mu's eyes. He formed hand seals, and the Chaotic Dao Domain shrank again, pressing tightly against his skin.

"You're courting death!" The Blazing Dao Lord sneered, unleashing the full power of his Burning Dao Golden Flame.

With a "whoosh!", the nine crimson suns frantically spewed out golden flames of incineration, which burned Li Mu's chaotic body without any obstruction, completely engulfing him.

In an instant, Li Mu's Dao body shattered, spraying out a misty gray blood vapor. Chaotic Dao essence surged forth, and the shattered areas healed completely. However, the golden flames of the Burning Dao raged fiercely, and his chaotic Dao body shattered again and again, instantly healing, shattering and healing once more... three times, five times, seven times... and so on, continuously.

Li Mu's body was filled with Dao blood, and the gray Dao light flickered uncertainly. Each time his chaotic Dao body collapsed, it shattered into three parts. Each time it healed, his Dao body recovered, and his aura became more condensed.

……

The Blazing Dao Master's gaze gradually sharpened, and he vaguely sensed something was amiss. His hand seals changed rapidly, nine crimson suns suddenly shone brightly, and the golden flames of the Burning Dao surged, attempting to melt his Chaos Dao Domain into fuel for the Burning Dao Vast Domain.

In an instant, a massive amount of Burning Dao Golden Flame surged into Li Mu's body, like thousands of venomous pythons drilling into his meridians, fiercely tearing at the Chaos Dao Source. His meridians shattered inch by inch, his acupoints exploded, and the Chaos Dao Source scattered and surged in all directions.

Li Mu's eyes were tightly closed, blood was seeping from his seven orifices, he looked extremely miserable, and his breath continued to weaken.

"Can't hold on any longer?!"

Seeing this, Dao Lord Chihuang breathed a sigh of relief and went all out.

……

Time passed slowly, and the vast void presented a magnificent and grand scene.

Nine crimson suns hung in the void, and golden flames of burning Tao poured down like a tide.

Li Mu sat cross-legged at the center of the formation, the gray Dao light around him had shrunk into his body, and the golden flames of the Burning Dao enveloped him layer by layer, the crimson gold light shining brightly, making him look like a piece of divine iron in a furnace.

The Blazing Dao Lord stood atop the fire dragon's head, looking down into the formation, and said coldly, "I've been refining you for a hundred years, and your bones are still hard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blazing Dao Lord formed hand seals, and nine crimson suns shone brightly. The golden flames of the Burning Dao surged once more, with specks of white light at the heart of the flames, burning through the void and annihilating the Dao principles.

The golden flames of the Burning Dao poured down, and the gray Dao light around Li Mu completely dissipated, leaving his Dao body covered with cracks.

With a "snap!" sound,
In an instant, Li Mu's body shattered, spraying out a gray mist of blood and revealing his white bones. The golden flames of the Burning Dao drilled into the crack, scorching his meridians and refining his acupoints. The chaotic Dao essence within Li Mu's body surged and raged, fiercely battling the golden flames.

The Blazing Dao Master sneered: "Mid-stage Dao Transformation Realm, withstand the Burning Dao Golden Flame for a hundred years, and I will surely turn your Dao Foundation to ashes!"

Li Mu remained silent, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

The shattered chaotic body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, flesh and blood regenerated, bones mended, meridians reconnected, and acupoints reopened. The incinerating golden flames surged into the healed area, continuing to burn and refine it.

……

The Blazing Dao Lord snorted coldly, his hands forming a series of hand seals. The nine crimson suns continuously emitted chaotic golden flames, their brilliance intensifying and transforming into strands of platinum flames that pierced into Li Mu's shattered Dao body.

Platinum flames entered his body, causing Li Mu to tremble violently.

Meridians ruptured inch by inch, acupoints exploded one after another, fine cracks appeared on bones, flesh and blood turned into charcoal, chaotic Dao Yuan collapsed, and gray Dao light was extinguished.

However, within its body, a wisp of chaotic origin, faint as a candle, flickered and wavered, yet remained tenacious and inextinguishable. The moment the chaotic origin appeared, the shattered meridians began to reconnect, the exploded acupoints re-condensed, the cracked bones slowly healed, and the charred flesh and blood regenerated...

The Blazing Dao Lord's gaze darkened.

"So troublesome, why aren't you dead yet?"

The Blazing Dao Lord formed hand seals, and the Burning Heaven Refining Domain suddenly shone brightly. The nine crimson suns spun faster and faster, golden flames poured down like a tide, and layers of platinum flame threads drilled into Li Mu's body.

The gray light surrounding Li Mu was suppressed by the golden flames of the Burning Dao, and the speed at which the cracks healed gradually slowed down. The healing was slower than the cracking, and his Dao body melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before long, his flesh and blood turned to ash, his bones disintegrated, and his meridians turned into nothingness.

Three breaths later, Li Mu's Dao body collapsed into a broken skeleton, with only a few strands of charred flesh and blood hanging sparsely on it. His chaotic Dao essence dissipated completely.

The Blazing Dao Lord surveyed the array and said with satisfaction, "One hundred and fifty years, it should be over by now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blazing Dao Lord raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The Burning Heaven Dao Yuan transformed into a giant palm and grabbed at Li Mu's remains.

The moment the giant hand touched the wreckage, at the moment the broken skeleton was exposed, a gray light burst forth from the depths of the skeleton, like a reversed Milky Way, instantly dispersing the golden flames. On the skeleton, flesh and blood regenerated, meridians were reconnected, and acupoints were formed.

In less than three breaths, a complete Dao body reappeared. The moment the chaotic Dao body solidified, a deep Dao resonance emanated from Li Mu's body with a "thud!"

This sound is like the first sound at the beginning of creation, like the first sound at the separation of chaos.

The moment the Dao Ming was transmitted, a gray Dao light soared into the sky around Li Mu, the nine crimson suns trembled, and the golden flames of the Dao Burning Dao rolled back.

"I've been refining you for 150 years, isn't it my turn now!" Li Mu looked coldly at the Blazing Dao Master and said with a smile.

"Late stage of the Dao Transformation Realm? How is that possible!" Dao Master Chihuang's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief.

The Blazing Dao Lord quickly formed hand seals, rapidly withdrawing the Heaven-Burning Dao Fire. The nine crimson suns suddenly dimmed, and the Heaven-Burning Refining Domain rapidly contracted.

Li Mu stared at the Blazing Dao Lord, his eyes filled with a deep, unfathomable chaotic star vortex, within which the myriad worlds were born and destroyed, the five elements rotated, yin and yang interacted, and all kinds of Dao principles evolved in an endless cycle.

Li Mu seemed to be adapting to his current level of skill and was not in a hurry to make a move.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" The Blazing Emperor Dao Lord was furious, as if he had lost his mind. The nine suns merged into one, transforming into a giant sun, which smashed down fiercely towards Li Mu.

Li Mu suddenly awoke, and the Chaos Dao Domain reappeared. He then unleashed a palm strike.

With a "whoosh," a giant gray palm swept out horizontally, its palm lines clear, with Dao patterns flowing like the creation of heaven and earth, the palm containing the birth and death of myriad Dao, and its five fingers suppressing myriad Dao.

With a deafening roar, the colossal chaotic palm slammed down upon the blazing sun.

With a loud "bang!",
The giant blazing sun exploded with a deafening roar, its golden flames scattering everywhere. The great array shattered, and countless fragments of the incinerating fire array patterns flew out, each reflecting the shocked and incredulous face of the Blazing Dao Lord.

The Blazing Dao Lord retreated ten thousand miles, holding the Burning Heaven Dao Sword horizontally in front of him, its blade covered in cracks, staring intently at Li Mu: "You...you lent me your Dao Fire to break through your realm?"

Li Mu withdrew his palms, stood with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by a hazy, ethereal light, his aura deep and profound, returning to simplicity and authenticity, with not a trace of oppressive power leaking out.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist." Li Mu smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude.

The Blazing Dao Lord's face was ashen, his Heavenly Dao Yuan surging wildly as he steadied his turbulent blood and qi. He stared at Li Mu, his eyes terrifyingly gloomy: "So what if I'm in the late stage of the Transformation Dao? I've been in the late stage for seven hundred million years. How can someone like you, a newcomer, compare?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Lord Chihuang raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

The Burning Heaven Dao Sword exploded, turning into billions of crimson gold fragments. The fragments gathered and condensed into a giant crimson cauldron with three legs and two handles. It was engraved with nine crimson sun totems, and its mouth swallowed and spewed out golden flames of the Burning Dao. The white light of the flames leaped and burned through the void.

"Incinerate the Dao Cauldron, suppress it!"

As the Blazing Dao Lord uttered a single word, the Crimson Cauldron flew out and hovered above Li Mu's head, its mouth facing downwards. The golden flames of the Burning Dao poured down like a celestial river.

"The tripod is good! But the person is petty and narrow-minded, not very good!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand and grasped it, the Chaos Giant Axe condensing in his palm.

The axe body was gray, with the pure and impure energies flowing through it. The axe blade reflected the scene of the creation of heaven and earth. Compared to before, the axe body had an additional crimson gold pattern, which meandered like a dragon and exhaled the Daoist charm of burning heaven.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu raised his axe and brought it down.

In an instant, a gray line tore through the sky and slashed into the river of golden flames.

The golden flames of the Burning Dao exploded instantly, while the gray line continued its undiminished momentum, heading straight for the Crimson Cauldron!

With a loud clang, the axe blade slammed into the cauldron.

With a loud "boom," fragments of crimson gold flew out, and a ten-thousand-foot-long crack appeared on the cauldron, instantly suffering severe damage.

The Blazing Dao Master's expression changed drastically. He formed hand seals, and the Crimson Cauldron lit up. Nine Crimson Sun Totems soared into the sky, transforming into nine illusory Crimson Suns that hovered above the cauldron's mouth. The nine suns rotated simultaneously, and the cracks in the cauldron healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The golden flames of the Burning Dao surged tenfold, and the white light at the heart of the flames solidified into a white flame dragon. The dragon opened its mouth and lunged at Li Mu.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a horizontal slash with his Chaos Giant Axe.

With a "rip!" sound, the white flame dragon was instantly cut in half at the waist. The dragon's body, now broken in two, exploded, turning into a shower of white flames that distorted the void.

The Blazing Dao Lord grunted, his Heavenly Dao Yuan surging wildly to stabilize his turbulent blood and qi. He stared intently at Li Mu, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

"How can someone who has only just entered the late stage be so powerful?" the Blazing Emperor Dao Lord asked in disbelief.

Li Mu smiled calmly and replied, "The Great Dao of Chaos is invincible among those of the same level."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu took a step forward. His figure teleported and appeared in front of the Blazing Emperor Dao Lord. The Chaos Giant Axe cleaved down, its axe light hazy and tearing through the void.

The Blazing Emperor Daoist's expression changed drastically, and the Crimson Cauldron flew back to block in front of him.

With a clang, the Chaos Axe Blade slammed into the cauldron, and in an instant, crimson gold fragments flew everywhere, and the cauldron was covered with cracks.

As if struck by lightning, the Blazing Dao Lord was forced to retreat tens of thousands of miles. The Crimson Cauldron trembled violently, cracks spread across its body, and the nine crimson sun totems flickered uncertainly.

Li Mu caught up with his axe and struck again, his morale soaring.

With a loud clang, the void shattered, the cracks in the cauldron exploded completely, and the crimson cauldron broke apart, turning into countless crimson gold fragments that scattered everywhere.

The Blazing Dao Lord spat out a mouthful of crimson-gold blood mist, his Dao body shattered by 30%, and his Heavenly Dao Essence scattered in all directions. He stared intently at Li Mu, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.

"You're something else. I'll repay this debt a hundredfold in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blazing Dao Lord transformed into a streak of crimson light and vanished into the depths of the void in an instant.

Li Mu put away the Chaos Giant Axe, his gaze indifferent.

"You run fast!"

Li Mu looked around, raised his hand and gestured. In the void, the shattered fragments of the Crimson Cauldron rolled back and gathered in his palm, condensing into a fist-sized Crimson Gold Crystal Core.

The surface of the crystal core is engraved with nine crimson sun totems, and the Daoist rhythm of the Burning Heaven flows within, containing the essence of the Daoist fire condensed over ten thousand years by the Blazing Radiance Dao Lord.

Li Mu held the crystal core and smiled slightly: "I accept this gift of gratitude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu had a thought, and Mingyue stepped out of the Chaos Treasure Palace.

Mingyue's silver eyes darted around, scanning the surroundings: "Master, where is that guy?"

"They've escaped." Li Mu put the crimson gold crystal core into his sleeve.

The moonlight shimmered, reflecting the lingering Daoist energy in the void. Looking at Li Mu with surprise, it exclaimed with delight, "Master has broken through to the next realm?"

"Hmm." Li Mu nodded slightly.

Bright silver eyes sparkled as she joyfully congratulated, "Congratulations, Master, on achieving the late stage of the Dao Transformation Realm!"

Li Mu waved his hand: "Let's go, we should head back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hazy, gray light enveloped the bright moon and vanished from its spot in an instant. (End of Chapter)
