Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After bidding farewell to the ancestors, Li Mu flicked his sleeves, and a hazy light enveloped Xue'er and Mingyue. With a flash, he disappeared into the depths of the Myriad Dao Source Sea.

Within the Origin Sea, chaotic energy surges and converges.

Li Mu stood in the void, reached out and beckoned, and seven streams of light flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of him.

It was those seven innate seven-colored Dao seeds.

Red like lava, green like ancient trees, blue like the deep sea, yellow like thick earth, white like metal, purple like thunder, and gray like wind, the seven colors of light intertwine, making the entire source sea splendid and colorful. The power of the innate Great Dao permeates the area, and the images of wind, thunder, water, and fire faintly emerge.

"open."

Li Mu pointed his fingers, and the chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth. The gray Dao light spread out like a tide, pushing aside the surrounding chaotic airflow and clearing out a pure land of ten thousand miles.

"Congeal."

Li Mu formed hand seals, and the chaotic pure land began to evolve, arranged according to the directions of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. The seven-colored array light shone brightly, intertwining to form a primordial Dao array. The crimson lava Dao source spewed out heat waves, the cyan Dao source of the wood element flowed, the blue azure water Dao source surged with waves, the yellow earth Dao source condensed into thick earth mountains, the golden Dao source transformed into a sword mountain, the purple thunder Dao source transformed into a thunder pool, and the cyan wind Dao source whipped up a hurricane, constantly evolving.

Xue'er stood beside Li Mu, her icy blue eyes reflecting the seven Dao Seeds, and exclaimed in amazement, "Such rich innate Dao essence! Brother Li, where did you get them?"

"It was discovered by chance in a newly formed vast area," Li Mu replied with a smile.

Xue'er was slightly taken aback: "New Vast Domain?"

"Well, we'll discuss this later." Li Mu didn't want to get involved in this topic and quickly changed the subject: "Let's plant them first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu flicked his sleeve, and the seven Dao Seeds transformed into seven-colored light and fell towards the Innate Grand Array.

The seven Dao Seeds fell into the Primordial Grand Array.

The crimson light fell upon the southern part of the land, causing magma to surge. The Dao Seed sank into it, instantly unleashing ten thousand rays of crimson light.

The azure color settled in the position of the Eastern Wood, and the Qi of the Wood element gathered into clouds. The Dao seed took root in the heart of the clouds, and the azure light shone brightly.

Blue light fell beyond the northern waters, causing waves to rise suddenly. The Dao Seed floated and sank with the waves, and blue light soared into the sky.

Yellow fell upon the central land, causing the thick earth and mountains to tremble. The Dao seed entered the mountain's belly, and yellow light pierced through the mountain.

White settled in the western position of the Golden Mountain, the Sword Mountain roared, ten thousand swords trembled, and the Dao Seed hung above the Sword Mountain, its white light as sharp as a blade.

Purple light fell upon the position of thunder, causing the thunder pool to boil and thunder to roar. The Dao seed sank into the thunder pool, entwined with purple lightning.

The bluish-gray light fell into the eye of the storm, the hurricane suddenly stopped, the eye of the storm solidified, and the Dao Seed hung in the center of the eye of the storm, with bluish-gray light flowing around it.

Seven-colored light shot into the sky.

Seven beams of light—red, cyan, blue, yellow, white, purple, and cyan-gray—pierced through the Source Sea and shot straight into the void of the Vast Land.

The myriad sources of the sea are boiling.

The chaotic energy surged like a tide, and the laws of myriad paths resounded. The seven pillars of light intertwined and formed a sky-covering array. Within the array, the seven innate powers of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder flowed, giving rise to the birth and death of all things.

"Crack, crack..." Seven crisp sounds rang out at the same time, and seven seedlings broke through the soil one after another.

The red seedlings are three inches long, with leaves as red as flames and veins that flow with a lava-like sheen.

The green seedlings are three inches long, with leaves as green as jade, and veins flowing with the vitality of the wood element.

The blue seedlings are three inches long, with leaves as blue as water and veins that flow like waves.

The yellow seedlings are three inches long, with thick, earthy yellow leaves and veins that flow like the outline of mountains.

The white seedlings are three inches long, with silvery-white leaves as sharp as blades, and the veins flowing with a sharp and vigorous edge.

The purple seedling is three inches long, with glossy purple leaves and veins that seem to flow with lightning speed.

The seedlings are three inches long and bluish-gray, with translucent bluish-gray leaves and veins that flow like a hurricane.

The seven saplings of the Dao Tree swayed gently, and suddenly their seven-colored radiance shone brightly.

Soon, with the support of Li Mu's Chaos Dao Source and the Innate Dao Array, the seven Innate Dao Tree saplings began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three inches.

Five inches.

one foot.

Three feet.

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

……

Thousands of feet.

In less than an hour, the seven saplings grew into seven giant trees, each over ten feet tall, with trunks more than ten feet thick and canopies that blocked out the sun. The seven colors of light—red, blue, yellow, white, purple, and cyan-gray—were interwoven into a sea of ​​light.

Xue'er was excited. Her Taiyin True Eye between her brows rotated, and moonlight fell, illuminating the roots of the seven ancestral trees.

The roots of the seven primordial ancestral trees, like dragons, are deeply embedded in the source layer of the vast earth, embedded within the source vein spiritual network.
As their roots connected, the Source Vein Spirit Network trembled violently, and the gray roots surged, spreading along the root system of the seven trees and completely connecting with it.

The seven ancestral trees trembled simultaneously, and seven-colored light shot into the sky from their crowns, piercing the void and probing into the endless depths.

Deep within the void, the free-flowing primordial energy, as if drawn by a force, transformed into seven long rivers that surged wildly towards the vast land. Guided by the seven trees, these primordial energy rivers poured into the primordial vein spiritual network, causing the network to glow brightly and the speed of primordial energy circulation to skyrocket.

……

Starry Sky Platform.

Ancient Dao Ancestor suddenly looked towards the Myriad Dao Source Sea, his clear eyes reflecting a seven-colored pillar of light as he exclaimed in surprise, "What has the Dao Master refined this time?"

Haotian Daozu quickly calculated with his fingers and exclaimed excitedly, "The seven innate Great Daos have formed a tree, and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder) are connected with the Origin Vein Spirit Network. The speed at which Origin Qi is absorbed from the void... has increased several times! This is incredible!"

……

At this moment, the myriad paths originate from the sea.

Li Mu stood among the seven trees, his body enveloped in a hazy, shimmering light.

The seven trees trembled simultaneously, and seven-colored light converged, transforming into a seven-colored torrent that surged into its chaotic body.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly. Within his Chaotic Dao Body, Chaotic Dao Yuan surged, his meridians expanded, his acupoints opened, and a seven-colored torrent poured in, merging with the Chaotic Dao Yuan. His Dao foundation became more and more stable, and his Dao charm became more and more profound.

Xue'er stood beside Li Mu, her Taiyin True Eyes rotating between her brows, reflecting the roots of the seven Dao Trees.

There, the roots of the seven Dao Trees, like dragons, plunged deep into the source vein spiritual network, touching the source marrow layer. The source marrow layer surged, and milky white sap gushed out like a tide, flowing upwards along the roots of the seven trees.

The seven Dao trees trembled simultaneously, their trunks swelled, their canopies expanded, and seven-colored light shone brightly among their branches and leaves.

The crimson tree trunk swelled to 50,000 feet, its canopy expanded to 10,000 miles, and countless crimson Dao fruits condensed among its branches and leaves, within which lava surged.

The green tree trunk grew to 50,000 feet tall, and its canopy expanded to 10,000 miles. Countless verdant Dao fruits condensed among the branches and leaves, and the Qi of Yi Wood circulated within the Dao fruits.

……

As the seven innate Dao trees grew rapidly, seven-colored light intertwined to form an array, enveloping the entire Origin Sea. The seven innate Dao powers of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder flowed and interacted with the myriad Origin Powers of the Myriad Dao Origin Sea to generate the birth and death of all things, and the scene of the sun and moon revolving.

Xue'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Seven Dao Trees form the foundation of the innate Dao, forming an innate Dao array?"

“That’s right!” Mingyue’s silver eyes darted around, and the puppet-patterned light screen reflected the root system of the seven trees. She introduced to Xue’er, “The root system of the seven primordial ancestral trees has merged with the Origin Vein Spirit Network. In the future, when the Origin Vein Spirit Network absorbs the source energy from the void, it will be refined and purified by the seven primordial Dao Trees first!”

"In that case, once this formation is complete, the foundation of the vast land will be further enhanced!" Xue'er looked at Li Mu and asked excitedly.

“They do indeed provide a lot of benefits, but we have to wait for them to grow up! Next, I will spend some time nurturing them!” Li Mu nodded with a smile, agreeing with Mingyue’s judgment and Xue’er’s guess.

After saying that, Li Mu's figure flashed and flew into the formation, sitting cross-legged between the seven trees. His body was surrounded by a gray Dao light that flowed around the seven ancestral trees. At the same time, the chaotic will merged into the chaotic land, guiding the source veins and supplying the seven innate ancestral trees with an inexhaustible source of energy.

One day.

100 days.

One year. One hundred years.

……

Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The seven primordial ancestral trees have trunks over ten thousand feet thick, their canopies blocking out the sky and sun. Seven colors of light—red, blue, yellow, white, purple, and cyan-gray—intertwine to form a sea. Their roots, like dragons, penetrate deep into the source vein spiritual network, touching the source marrow layer. The source marrow layer surges, and milky white sap gushes out like a tide, flowing upwards along the roots of the seven trees.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly. Within his Chaotic Dao Body, Chaotic Dao Essence surged, and a seven-colored torrent poured in, merging with the Chaotic Dao Essence. His Dao Foundation became more and more stable, and his Dao Rhyme became more and more profound.

On this day, Li Mu opened his eyes and awoke, his gaze filled with a chaotic, unfathomable vortex of stars. He stood up, his body enveloped in a greyish aura that had been contained, a return to simplicity and authenticity.

The seven primordial ancestral trees swayed gently, their branches and leaves radiating a bright seven-colored light, as if they were delighted.

Li Mu's chaotic will spread out, instantly enveloping the entire vast land.

Within the Origin Vein Spirit Network, the Origin Qi flows like a rushing river, more than twice as powerful as it was a thousand years ago. In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, forty thousand ancestral trees stand tall, their canopies blocking out the sun, and the light of Dao intertwines among their branches and leaves into a sea.

One hundred and twenty-three new Dao Ancestors have been added to the peak of the Dao Integration realm.

The number of Dao Ancestors in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm increased by 6,700.

The number of Dao Ancestors in the middle stage of the Dao Integration stage increased by 24,000.

The total number of soldiers has exceeded three million.

Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, withdrew his chaotic will, and then, with a thought, sank into the depths of the Vast Earth Source Marrow Layer.

In an instant, the primordial marrow layer surged, the milky white fluid like a sea. Deep within the fluid, countless points of light rose and fell, varying in size and color—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, white, black, and gray, a dazzling array of hues. The Primordial Imprint.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and a crimson dot of light appeared on his chaotic will.

The light trembled violently, bursting forth with dazzling red light. Inside, a three-legged golden crow phantom appeared, flapping its wings and whistling, its heaven-burning Daoist aura permeating the air.

Li Mu's will was gentle, containing the true meaning of chaos, and permeated with points of light.

The golden crow phantom struggled for a moment, then gradually calmed down. Its crimson light receded, transforming into a fist-sized crimson crystal core. Inside the crystal core, the golden crow phantom curled up and slept, with Daoist energy flowing through it.

Xiao Yuan swam over, transforming into a small silver-white dragon. Its tail swayed, entangling the crimson light spot. Milky white essence was exhaled from the dragon's mouth, seeping into the source points.

The source point shone brightly, the phantom of the golden crow flapped its wings and cried out, the Daoist rhyme of burning heaven surged out like a tide, and the crimson light soared into the sky.

Li Mu raised his hand and pressed down, and the chaotic Dao Yuan surged in, enveloping the ball of crimson light. The golden crow phantom struggled for three breaths before gradually calming down. The light spot shrank and condensed into a crimson Dao Seed the size of a fist.

"It's done." Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the crimson Dao Seed fell into his palm.

Xiao Yuan happily flicked its tail, burrowed deep into the source marrow layer, and wrapped itself around another cyan light spot.

Within the point of light, the phantom of a green dragon coiled, its scales emerald green and its whiskers fluttering. Xiao Yuan opened its mouth and spat out milky white essence, nourishing the point of light.

The illusory image of the Azure Dragon opened its dragon eyes, and its roar reverberated through the source marrow layer.

Li Mu's chaotic will covered it, and the hazy light of the Dao seeped in.

The illusory image of the Azure Dragon struggled and twisted incessantly, its tail sweeping across the water, and the Daoist aura of the Azure Wood surged like a tide.

However, under Li Mu's chaotic will, layer upon layer of envelopment, after a hundred breaths, the Azure Dragon phantom gradually calmed down, the light spots shrank, and condensed into a fist-sized azure Dao Seed.

Within the Dao Seed, a green dragon coils, with the Dao patterns of Yi Wood flowing between its scales and armor.

Xiao Yuan continued to travel through the area. A blue dot of light revealed a sleeping phantom of Xuanwu; a yellow dot revealed a curled-up phantom of Qilin.

One by one, Dao Seeds floated in the Source Marrow Layer, intertwined with five colors of light: red, blue, yellow, and white, making the Source Marrow Layer dazzling and colorful. The little source swam back to Li Mu's side, its dragon tail swaying gently, conveying a sense of joy.

Li Mu smiled broadly and happily praised, "Well done!"

Xiao Yuan rubbed against Li Mu's palm, then transformed into a silver light and continued to penetrate deep into the source marrow layer.

The primordial marrow layer surged, with countless points of light rising and falling. Small sources darted through it like fish swimming in the sea, continuously expelling milky white primordial energy to nourish those primordial imprints that had slumbered for billions of years.

A purple light appeared, and the phantom of the thunder dragon roared.

A golden light appeared, and the phantom of a golden phoenix spread its wings.

A black dot of light lit up, and the phantom of the Xuan Turtle raised its head.

A green light appeared, and the phantom of a blue phoenix cried out.

…………

Li Mu sat cross-legged in the Origin Marrow layer, his chaotic will enveloping the surroundings. A point of light lit up, and the gray Dao light covered it, refining and purifying it to condense into a Dao Seed.

Xiao Yuan shuttles back and forth tirelessly.

time flies.

One hundred days have passed.

Within the Source Essence Layer, countless points of light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, white, black, and gray—lit up like twinkling stars. One by one, Dao Seeds condensed and floated within the Source Essence Layer, their Daoist essence flowing, profound and unfathomable.

Li Mu opened his eyes, and those Dao Seeds were reflected in them.

One hundred and thirty-seven Crimson Dao Seeds.

Ninety-eight blue Taoist seeds.

……

A total of 1,200 innate Dao seeds were suspended in the source marrow layer, their various colors of light intertwining to form a sea.

Xiao Yuan swam back to Li Mu's side, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a three-foot-tall child. He rushed into Li Mu's arms, his face pale and his breath slightly weak.

"Tired?" Li Mu raised his hand, and the gray, chaotic origin surged out and poured into Xiao Yuan's body.

Xiao Yuan perked up and grinned, "A little, but it's fun!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand in a gesture, and the source marrow layer surged, with milky white fluid gushing out and enveloping Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan comfortably squinted her eyes, her face regaining its rosy hue, and gradually drifted off to sleep in Li Mu's arms.

Li Mu smiled slightly, sent Xiao Yuan into the source layer, and glanced at the more than a thousand innate Dao seeds. His chaotic will surged out, swept up all the Dao seeds, and put them into the Chaos Treasure Palace.

The next instant, Li Mu's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared on the Star Evolution Platform.

Gu Xi and Hao Tian, ​​the two ancestors, were controlling the Chaos Origin Cauldron and drawing upon the Origin Qi. Upon seeing Li Mu appear, they quickly stood up to greet him.

"Greetings, Dao Master." Dao Ancestor Gu Xi and Dao Ancestor Hao Tian bowed in unison.

"No need for formalities!" Li Mu waved his hand and smiled.

After speaking, Li Mu reached out and summoned the Chaos Treasure Palace. The palace gates opened wide, and more than a thousand innate Dao Seeds flew out and hovered above the Dao Platform.

Red, blue, yellow, white, purple, gold, and black—all colors intertwined, illuminating the entire platform with dazzling brilliance.

Upon seeing this, both Dao Ancestor Gu Xi and Dao Ancestor Hao Tian were invigorated.

“Innate Dao Seeds refined from the Primordial Imprint,” Li Mu said. “A total of 1,200.”

The Dao Ancestor Haotian's starry eyes shone brightly as he quickly calculated with his fingers: "One thousand two hundred Dao Seeds can create one thousand two hundred Dao Ancestors who have achieved Dao Integration. If they are cultivated properly, they can become Ancestral Trees within a thousand years."

Dao Ancestor Gu Xi exclaimed excitedly, "Dao Master, in this way, the Ancestral Tree of the Ancestral Forest has taken another big step closer to the number 50,000!"

Li Mu nodded in satisfaction and looked at Dao Ancestor Haotian, instructing him: "Enter the Dao Seed into the storehouse, select a suitable one for Dao Ancestor to bestow, prioritize supply to the source veins of each region, and ensure that it matures within a thousand years."

"Yes!"

Dao Ancestor Haotian bowed in response, and starlight swept across, collecting all the more than a thousand innate Dao seeds. (End of Chapter)
