Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Zixiao Dao Palace.

The Lord of Purple Extremes sat cross-legged on the Dao Platform, the Dao Sword embryo in the Purple Gold Cauldron in front of him trembled slightly, and the nine purple sun patterns on the sword body flowed.

The steward bowed and entered, holding a dark crystal jade slip in both hands: "Dao Master, this is a message from Dao Master Leng You."

The Lord of Purple Extremes raised his hand, and the jade slip fell into his palm. He probed into it with his divine sense and read its contents.

A moment later, the Lord of Purple Extremes sneered: "That old ghost can't sit still anymore."

The steward Dao Ancestor looked up and asked, "Dao Master, do you intend to join forces with Dao Master You Sha?"

The Lord of Purple Extremes stood up, frowned, and said, "Let's see! I need to go and negotiate in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Purple Extremes took a step forward and his figure vanished.

Deep within the void, turbulent currents surged.

An endless void, utterly silent, with thin turbulent currents and scattered star fragments.

The Lord of Purple Extremes arrived, breaking through the void, his body shimmering with purple light, and stood with his hands behind his back.

In the western void, a flash of eerie light appeared, and the Lord of the Netherworld appeared, surrounded by deathly aura, his eerie green eyes gazing towards the Purple Extreme.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

The Lord of Purple Extremes said indifferently, "You Sha, what brings you here?"

The Netherworld Dao Master snorted angrily, "Ziji, stop pretending to be confused. I sent people to investigate that vast land, and you know the result in your heart."

The Lord of Purple Extremes narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in surprise, "Your people have been defeated?"

The Netherworld Dao Master's dark green eyes flickered: "We've lost. We attacked from three directions, with 50,000 Dao soldiers, but less than 20,000 returned. That vast land has 40,000 Dao Ancestor Trees, 3 million Dao soldiers, and a large group of peak Dao Ancestors guarding it. You kept it a secret quite well."

The Lord of Purple Extremes' expression changed slightly, and he said in surprise, "I didn't know he had developed to this extent."

The Netherworld Dao Master sneered, "You don't know?"

"I truly do not know!" The Lord of Purple Extremes remained silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "What do you intend to do?"

The Netherworld Dao Master stared at Zi Ji and invited, "Let's join forces and flatten that vast land."

The Lord of Purple Extremes' eyes flashed: "Oh! How do we cooperate?"

The Lord of the Netherworld raised his hand, and a star map appeared in the void, marking the location of the Chaotic Land: "The Southern Origin Vein belongs to you, the Northern Origin Vein belongs to me, and the Central Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, each takes what they need."

The Lord of the Purple Pole gazed at the star map, and after a moment nodded: "Approved."

The Netherworld Dao Master's eerie green eyes flickered: "You're just going to agree like that?"

The Lord of Purple Extremes said calmly, "My Dao Sword is not yet complete, and your Leng You has lost 30% of its elite forces. It is too hasty to act now. Three thousand years later, when the two domains are adjacent, we can join forces to attack, and our chances of victory will greatly increase."

The Netherworld Dao Master frowned, puzzled, and said, "Three thousand years? What are you up to? Why wait so long!"

The Netherworld Dao Master's expression darkened slightly as he continued, "That vast land absorbs the primordial energy of the void every day, and the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors grows year after year. In another three thousand years, the forty thousand ancestral trees will become one hundred thousand, and the three million Dao soldiers will become ten million. What will stop them then?"

Deep within the void, turbulent currents surged.

The Lord of Purple Extremes stood with his hands behind his back, his body shimmering with purple light. After listening to the words of the Lord of Netherworld Fiends, he said calmly, "Three thousand years is enough to do many things and enough to see many things."

The Netherworld Dao Master's eerie green eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"

"You've explored that vast land, and so have I." The Lord of Purple Extremes looked at You Sha and said slowly, "Forty thousand ancestral trees, three million Dao soldiers, fifteen peak Dao Ancestors, and that kid didn't show up from beginning to end. Don't you find that strange?"

The Lord of the Netherworld remained silent.

The Lord of Purple Extremes continued, "The men I sent were either captured or went missing. The men you sent retreated in defeat. What exactly is that kid's cultivation level? Have we truly figured it out?"

The Netherworld Dao Master coldly said, "You mean he's hiding his strength?"

"The Great Dao of Chaos is difficult to fathom." The Lord of Purple Extremes gazed into the depths of the void and said in a deep voice, "Seven thousand years ago, he first entered the Dao Transformation stage. Seven thousand years later, who knows how far he has gone?"

The Netherworld Dao Master's dark light surged: "Then we must act as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the greater the variables will become."

“Indeed!” The Lord of Purple Extremes pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and advised, “Three thousand years from now, the two domains will be adjacent, and your Lengyou elites will have recovered. At that time, if we join forces to attack, we will be almost certain to win. If we act now, the outcome is uncertain.”

The Netherworld Dao Master stared at Zi Ji, his dark green eyes flickering uncertainly.

After a long silence, the Lord of the Netherworld spoke: "As you say, three thousand years from now, when the two realms meet, you and I will join forces to flatten that vast land."

The Lord of Purple Extremes nodded: "It's a deal."

The Lord of the Netherworld turned around, his figure transforming into a wisp of light and vanishing.

The Lord of Purple Extremes stood in the void, watching You Sha depart, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

The Dao Ancestor, who was in charge, appeared from the shadows and bowed, saying, "Dao Master, You Sha has responded."

"Agreed?" The Lord of Purple Extremes sneered, "That old ghost is more cunning than anyone else. He agreed so readily; who knows what he's plotting."

The steward asked, "Dao Master, what's next?"

The Lord of Purple Extremes raised his hand, and a purple crystal jade simplified into a stream of light: "Order all domains to do their utmost to nurture the ancestral tree and increase the number of Dao soldiers. Three thousand years from now, I will leave no one alive in that vast land."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Purple Extreme Lord vanished.

Deep within the void, eerie light surged.

Standing amidst the turbulent currents, the Netherworld Dao Master gazed in the direction where Purple Extreme had vanished, his eerie green eyes letting out a cold laugh.

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor emerged from the shadows and respectfully asked, "Dao Master, has Ziji agreed?"

The Lord of the Netherworld said coldly, "I have agreed. I will wait for three thousand years."

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor frowned: "Why is this? Does he have some kind of scheme?"

The Netherworld Dao Master chuckled coldly, "That old codger Ziji wanted to use me to continue testing that brat. Did he think I couldn't see through him?"

The Netherworld Ancestor lowered his head and remained silent.

After a moment of contemplation, the Lord of the Netherworld gave the order: "Send word to Youming to lead a team of elites to lie in ambush in the void rift and monitor every move of that vast land. If there is any unusual activity, send a message immediately."

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor looked up: "Dao Master, I will make the arrangements immediately."

The Lord of the Netherworld looked towards the direction of the Chaotic Land, his emerald eyes flashing: "If Ziji wants to stall, I will stall with him. Three thousand years from now, let's see who can afford to stall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Netherworld Dao Master's figure vanished.

……

The source of all paths is the sea.

Li Mu sat cross-legged among the seven innate Dao trees, his body surrounded by a hazy Dao light that flowed around him, and seven-colored radiance intertwined to form a sea.

The void cracked open, and the two ancestors, Gu Xi and Hao Tian, ​​arrived together.

"Dao Master," Dao Ancestor Gu Xi bowed respectfully and said, "Leng You's invasion has been repelled."

Li Mu's eyes swirled with chaotic starlight, sensing something amiss, and he asked with concern, "What about the casualties?"

Gu Xi Daozu replied, "In this battle, we killed 30,000 You Sha Dao soldiers and seriously injured the three ancestors You Ming, You Jue, and You Tu. We fought on our home ground and lost 300 members of the War Ape tribe, 200 members of the Fire Feather tribe, and 100 members of the Li Huo tribe."

The Dao Ancestor Haotian continued, "The successive attacks by Zixiao and Lengyou are clearly a test. Lengyou's elite forces have suffered losses, and they are unlikely to make any major moves in the short term."

Li Mu stood up, and the seven innate Dao trees swayed gently, their seven-colored light converging.

Li Mu gazed into the depths of the void and said calmly, "Zi Ji can wait, Leng You can wait, and so can we."

Gu Xi Dao Ancestor cupped his hands: "Dao Master, what are the next steps?" Li Mu looked at Hao Tian Dao Ancestor: "Can the absorption speed of the Source Cauldron be improved further?"

Dao Ancestor Haotian calculated with his fingers, then frowned and said, "It's already seventy percent complete; raising it any further will be quite difficult!"

Li Mu nodded, raised his hand in a gesture, and the Chaos Origin Cauldron flew from the Star Evolution Platform and hovered in front of him.

The cauldron's body was shrouded in gray Dao patterns, with nine crimson sun totems shining brightly. Gray silk ribbons from the cauldron's mouth reached into the void, frantically absorbing the source energy.

Li Mu raised his hand and pointed, and the chaotic Dao Yuan surged out and poured into the cauldron.

The Chaos Origin Cauldron trembled violently, and the nine crimson sun totems on its body shone brightly. The gray silk ribbons surged tenfold, like billions of dragons probing into the depths of the void, and the primordial energy of the void surged in like a reversed celestial river.

Gu Xi Daozu's expression changed: "Dao Master!"

Li Mu waved his hand: "It's alright."

The primordial chaos energy surged in continuously, causing the Dao patterns on the body of the Chaos Origin Cauldron to spread wildly. The nine crimson sun totems grew brighter and brighter, and the gray silk ribbons at the cauldron's mouth grew thicker and thicker, plunging into the deepest part of the void.

After a hundred breaths, the speed at which he absorbed the source energy surged to five times the previous rate.

The Dao Ancestor Haotian's starry eyes shone brightly. He quickly calculated with his fingers and exclaimed in astonishment, "Five times! At this speed, in two thousand years, the number of Ancestral Trees can increase to sixty thousand!"

Li Mu withdrew his hand, and the Chaos Origin Cauldron floated in front of him. The Dao patterns on the cauldron were stable, and the nine red sun totems flowed endlessly.

"The Origin Cauldron will be under your control, both of you. Absorb its power to the fullest extent." Li Mu looked at Gu Xi and Hao Tian and instructed them, "The Dao Seed will be bestowed upon a suitable Realm Lord, and you will achieve Dao Integration within a thousand years!"

"Yes!" Gu Xi and Hao Tian responded in unison, bowed, and withdrew.

As he watched them leave, Li Mu's gaze fell upon the seven innate Dao trees, their seven colors intertwined, their Daoist charm flowing.

Deep within the myriad sources of the sea, seven-colored light flows ceaselessly.

Li Mu sat cross-legged among the seven trees, his body radiating a hazy, gray Dao light that surged forth like a tide, nourishing the seven primordial trees day and night. Chaotic Dao essence seeped into the roots, spreading along the trunks to every branch and leaf, causing the seven trees to sway, and the Dao light among the branches and leaves to shine ever brighter.

The trunk of the crimson ancestral tree is as red as lava, with flames leaping among its branches and leaves, and white glints at the heart of the flames.

The ancestral tree has a green trunk as green as jade, and the energy of the Yi wood flows among its branches and leaves, full of vitality.

……

Seven-colored light intertwined to form a sea, resonating with the myriad primordial seas. The entire primordial sea surged and boiled, the chaotic energy flowed backward, and fragments of the Dao principles rose and fell.

Xue'er sat cross-legged by the spirit pool, her Taiyin True Eye rotating between her brows, moonlight falling to nourish the small source within. The small source transformed into a tender seedling, its roots penetrating the source nectar, swaying gently, its body shimmering with milky white light, occasionally punctuated by a hazy gray glow.

Mingyue stood beside Xue'er, her silver eyes sparkling. The puppet-patterned light screen reflected the changes of the seven trees deep in the source sea. She exclaimed, "The seven trees are growing rapidly. In another hundred years, they will surely develop sentience."

Xue'er nodded, her icy blue eyes gazing into the depths of the Origin Sea as she smiled in agreement: "With Brother Li personally nurturing them with Chaos Dao Yuan, it would be difficult for them not to grow up."

time flies.

century.

Three hundred years.

……

Deep within the Myriad Paths Source Sea, seven ancestral trees with trunks exceeding a million feet in diameter, their canopies blotting out the sky, and seven-colored light emanating from their branches and leaves, resonating with the myriad paths of the Source Sea. The entire vast land could sense the aura of the seven trees, causing the Source Vein Spirit Network to circulate at an explosive speed, and all forty thousand ancestral trees in the Myriad Ancestors Forest to tremble simultaneously.

On that day, all seven trees trembled.

The tree trunk trembled violently, the crown swayed, and seven-colored light suddenly shone brightly among the branches and leaves.

Above the crimson ancestral tree's crown, a crimson light shot into the sky, within which appeared a three-legged golden crow phantom. The golden crow flapped its wings and cried out, and the Daoist rhyme of burning heaven surged forth like a tide, causing the entire Southern Region's Fire Hell to boil.

Above the crown of the azure ancestral tree, a beam of azure light shot into the sky, within which appeared a phantom of an azure dragon. The azure dragon coiled, its roar shaking the heavens, the life force of the Yi wood flowed, and the purple lightning of the Eastern Region Thunder Pool shone brightly, with wood and thunder resounding together.

Above the canopy of the blue ancestral tree, a beam of blue light shot into the sky, within which appeared a phantom of Xuanwu, with the Xuanwu tortoise and snake coiled around it, the Weak Water surging, and the Weak Water area of ​​the Western Regions expanding by a thousand miles.

Above the crown of the Yellow Ancestral Tree, a beam of yellow light shot into the sky, within which appeared a phantom of a Qilin. The Qilin's four hooves trod on the air, and the light of the Earth element soared into the sky, with the Earth mountain rising from the ground in the center.

Above the white ancestral tree canopy, a beam of white light shot into the sky, within which a phantom of a white tiger appeared. The white tiger roared to the sky, the sharp edge of Geng metal cleaved the air, and the Western Sword Mountain roared.

Above the crown of the purple ancestral tree, a purple light shot into the sky, within which appeared a phantom of the Thunder God. The Thunder God held a thunder hammer, and as the hammer fell, thunder was generated, with purple lightning traversing the void.

Above the canopy of the cyan-gray ancestral tree, a beam of cyan-gray light shot into the sky, within which a phantom of Feng Hou appeared. Feng Hou's sleeves fluttered, a hurricane swept through, and the void turbulence swirled back.

Seven illusory figures appeared, their seven colors intertwined, illuminating the entire Myriad Origin Sea.

The seven illusory figures trembled simultaneously, transforming into seven streams of light that flew towards Li Mu.

The golden crow landed on Li Mu's left shoulder, its body wreathed in crimson flames, yet it felt no heat; instead, it conveyed a sense of closeness.

A green dragon coiled around Li Mu's right arm, its scales emerald green, its whiskers fluttering, and its eyes reflecting Li Mu's image.

……

Seven innate tree spirits surrounded Li Mu, their various colors of light intertwining, conveying their desire to recognize him as their master.

Li Mu opened his eyes and woke up, his gaze sweeping over the seven tree spirits amidst the chaotic swirling starlight within them.

The seven tree spirits respectfully greeted their master in unison.

“No need for that!” Li Mu smiled slightly, his chaotic will enveloping the seven spirits, and said gently, “From this day forward, you will guard the seven directions and protect the vast land.”

"Yes!"

The seven spirits responded in unison.

The next moment, seven-colored light soared into the sky, resonating with the Myriad Origin Sea, causing the entire vast land to tremble.

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, forty thousand ancestral trees trembled in unison, their branches and leaves intertwined with divine light, as if they were paying homage to the seven primordial ancestral trees.

The seven-colored Dao light intertwined and completely merged with the Origin Vein Spirit Network.

The spiritual network trembled violently, and the gray roots surged, penetrating deep into the root system of the seven trees, reaching the deepest part of the source marrow layer. The source marrow layer churned like boiling water, and milky white sap flowed back up along the roots, surging into the trunk of the seven trees.

The seven trees trembled simultaneously, their trunks swelled, and their canopies expanded.

Starry Sky Platform.

The light screen of the source detection array suddenly shone brightly, and the flow rate of the source energy increased more than tenfold.

Ancient Dao Ancestor suddenly stood up, his clear eyes reflecting the changing light screen, and exclaimed excitedly, "The Origin Vein... is alive!"

Dao Ancestor Haotian quickly calculated with his fingers, his starry eyes shining brightly: "The source energy surged in from the void, was refined by the seven innate ancestral trees, and then entered the spiritual net, its purity is more than 30% higher than before."

As soon as he finished speaking, seven-colored rays of light shot into the sky from the light screen, illuminating the entire vast land.

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, forty thousand ancestral trees trembled simultaneously, their branches and leaves intertwined with Dao light, and countless Dao fruits condensed on the tree crowns. The Dao fruits fell, transforming into illusory images of Dao soldiers, which solidified and took shape upon landing.

Wandaoyuanhai
Xue'er stood by the Spirit Pool, her Taiyin True Eye between her brows reflecting seven rays of light, a smile playing on her lips.

Just then, the spirit pool surged.

The primordial liquid boiled, and a milky white light shot into the sky. From the center of the pool, a figure rose up.

He was surrounded by a halo of milky white and gray light. He looked like a seven or eight-year-old child with delicate features and clear, bright eyes. His left eye was milky white and his right eye was gray.

The child stood in the middle of the pond, looking around blankly. His gaze fell on Xue'er, and he grinned before stumbling and falling into her arms.

"Mother!"

Xue'er paused for a moment, then chuckled and gently stroked the child's head: "Xiao Yuan, you're awake too!"

"Mmm!" Xiao Yuan nuzzled Xue'er's palm, conveying affection, his gaze falling on the depths of the Source Sea, where the hazy figure was filled with reverence. (End of Chapter)
