Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Starry Sky Platform.

A flash of gray light appeared, and Li Mu landed in the center of the platform.

Gu Xi and Hao Tian bowed in unison: "Dao Master."

Xue'er stepped forward, the moonlight falling and revealing the movements of the armies from the four regions. She said anxiously, "Brother Li, they're attacking from all four directions! They've sealed off the outer region of the Vast Land!"

Li Mu waved his hand, his gaze sweeping across the light screen. The four-colored energy surged like a tide, and they were less than a million miles from the border of the Vast Land.

"Send orders to all domains." Li Mu ordered in a deep voice: "Contract all defenses, retreat the Dao soldiers into the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, let the Ancestral Trees take root in the source veins, and operate the Chaos Array at full capacity."

Gu Xi Daozu gladly accepted the order: "As you command."

The clear light of Guizang shines down, its radiance splits the sky, and its message travels to all realms.

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, ten thousand ancestral trees trembled in unison, their roots penetrating deep into the source veins. Dao light wove into a net among the branches and leaves. Eight million Dao soldiers retreated into the forest, and various colors of Dao light soared into the sky, intertwining with the Dao light of the ancestral trees.

Seven primordial ancestral trees stood tall in the depths of the Origin Sea, their trunks growing rapidly, their canopies covering the sky, seven-colored Dao light soaring into the heavens, the golden crow flapping its wings, the azure dragon coiling, the black tortoise raising its head, the qilin stepping on the clouds, the white tiger crouching, the thunder god holding a hammer, and the wind god flicking his sleeves.

The seven spirits resounded in unison, and the seven-colored Dao light intertwined to form a sea, pouring into the Chaos Array.

The array suddenly shone brightly, and a gray Dao light soared into the sky, surrounded by seven colors, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-long light wall that completely enveloped the hundred thousand ancestral trees and eight million Dao soldiers of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors.

……

Void fault, eastern front line.

The Lord of the Purple Extremes stood in the center of the Purple Cloud Army, his body surrounded by flowing purple light, his purple eyes piercing through layers of void, falling towards the Chaotic Vast Land.

The wall of light stood tall, its grayish-brown light contained within, surrounded by seven colors, protecting the entire vast land completely.

The Lord of Purple Extremes curled his lips into a mocking smile and sneered, "Coward! You think you'll be fine if you just pull your head back?"

Beside him, the Netherworld Dao Master's death aura surged, his eerie green eyes fixed on the light barrier, and he sneered, "That brat's scared!"

The Primordial Dao Lord arrived, breaking through the void. His body was filled with the Daoist aura of cause and effect. Looking at the Chaos Array, he frowned slightly and pondered, "The array is not in disarray, and the foundation is not shaken. That kid doesn't seem to be in defeat."

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master flashed with a gray-white light and landed among the crowd, his gray eyes deep and serious: "The four domains are attacking, and he chooses to defend to the death. Perhaps it's a trap."

"Fellow Daoist Tian Shi, you are overthinking it. With the four domains attacking simultaneously, he can only defend to the death. How could it be a trick?" Lord Ziji chuckled and reassured him without taking it seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Purple Extremes curled his lips into a mocking smile. Nine purple sun dharma images appeared behind him, and he ordered in a stern voice: "Attack! Destroy this domain!"

The next moment, all the Dao Ancestors and Dao soldiers of the Purple Cloud Vast Domain transformed into a purple-red arrow and shot towards the Chaos Vast Land.

In the western void, the Lord of the Netherworld sat atop the throne of white bones, his deathly aura surging like ink. Beneath the throne, countless illusory corpses floated and wailed incessantly. His pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at the chaotic array, and with a sinister laugh, he swung his large hand down.

"Cold and Nether Dao Soldier, Corrosion of Death Aura!"

Two hundred thousand Cold Nether Ancestral Trees stretched out, their roots plunging into the chaotic void, frantically absorbing the source energy. Between the branches and leaves, death energy surged out like an inky tide, flowing into the Dao Soldier's body along the roots.

The million Dao soldiers roared in unison, their death energy condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-long black spear that fiercely pierced the chaotic array wall.

With a deafening roar, the black spear pierced the light barrier, hissing as it struck. The gray light exploded, and seven-colored radiance swirled wildly, forcefully blocking the black spear outside the formation.

The black spear shattered, turning into a rain of death that fell from the sky.

In the void to the south, the Primordial Dao Lord stood in the center of the army, his body radiating the Daoist aura of cause and effect.

Four hundred thousand ancestral trees stood tall, their trunks flowing with primordial energy, and the primordial energy between their branches and leaves surged out like a tide, converging into a primordial river that crashed into the chaotic array.

With a deafening roar, the Chaos Array Wall trembled violently, the gray light flickered and shimmered, and the seven-colored radiance intertwined to form a net, desperately blocking the erosion of the Primordial River.

In the void to the north, the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse stood above the River of Time, with 350,000 Ancestral Trees standing tall in the void, their trunks reflecting the passage of time, and fragments of time drifting like snow among their branches and leaves.

The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse sighed helplessly, reached out and tapped lightly, causing the River of Time to reverse, and countless fragments of time, like knives, slashed fiercely at the Chaos Array Wall.

"Clang clang clang!" A series of metallic clanging sounds reverberated through the void. Sparks flew across the chaotic array wall, gray Dao light exploded, and seven-colored radiance flowed wildly, repairing the cracks that had been cut.

The allied forces of the four domains, with 1.25 million ancestral trees, 26 million Dao soldiers, and 14,000 Dao Ancestors, launched a massive attack on the Chaos Domain and the Chaos Array, their momentum overwhelming.

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

Li Mu sat cross-legged among the seven trees, his body surrounded by a hazy, ethereal light, and the seven spirits. His chaotic will spread out, instantly enveloping the entire vast land, reflecting the full force of the four domain armies' offensive in his mind.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and his hands formed a series of hand seals.

Chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth like a tide, pouring into the seven primordial ancestral trees. Seven-colored Dao light soared into the sky, flowing into the Chaotic Grand Array along the Origin Vein Spirit Network.

Above the array wall, the gray Dao light surged, surrounded by seven colors, forcefully withstanding the attack from the four domains. The Chaos Array was activated, and the purple flame was actually devoured and transformed into pure Chaos Origin, nourishing the vast land.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' expression changed slightly as he sensed that his Dao soldiers' attacks had been neutralized, and even a significant portion of Purple Heaven's essence had been extracted.

"This is the Great Dao of Chaos? It encompasses all things, devouring and transforming them!"

The Primordial Dao Master frowned as he gazed at the Chaos Array. His eyes swirled with the Daoist principles of cause and effect as he tried to deduce the array's flaws. However, the Chaos Array was shrouded in a gray haze, obscuring the secrets of heaven, and he could not deduce even the slightest thing about it.

"This formation is based on chaos, with the seven trees as its eyes, devouring our attacks and turning them into its own!"

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's eyes narrowed, and the time scale on his fingertips flickered. He sensed that the erosive power of the River of Time was weakening, and the Chaos Array was not only defending against the attacks from the four domains, but also frantically devouring their Great Dao Origin.

Damn it!

The Lord of the Netherworld roared, causing the White Bone Throne to tremble violently. Death energy surged like an inky tide, and countless illusory corpses rushed towards the light barrier, shrieking as they gnawed at the array patterns.

However, no matter how fierce the offensive of the four-domain allied forces was, the Chaos Array remained standing. The gray array walls were cracked and healed, as if they possessed endless vitality.

Starry Sky Platform.

Above the light screen of the source-measuring array, four-colored energy surged like a tide, squeezing the central gray array. Ancient Dao Ancestor stood in front of the array, watching the changes in the array screen with a solemn expression.

"A simultaneous attack from four regions, the offensive is too fierce!"

The celestial ancestor Haotian, his starlight swirling, calculated rapidly with his fingers, and said anxiously, "The Dao Lords are using the Chaos Array as a conduit to devour the attacks from the four domains, transforming them into the Chaos Origin. However, the rate of devouring cannot keep up with the consumption of the attacks. The array can only last for a hundred years at most. If the four Dao Lords personally intervene..."

Xue'er stood in the center of the platform, her Taiyin True Eye rotating between her brows, moonlight cascading down like a waterfall, reflecting the battle deep in the void. Above the array, the armies of the four regions covered the sky, and the Chaos Array swayed precariously, yet remained unbroken.

"Brother Li!"

Xue'er's icy blue eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked towards the gray figure deep in the source sea.

Li Mu's body was surrounded by a gray Dao light, with the Seven Spirits encircling him and an unstable chaotic aura. The Dao Source from the Four Domains, which was devoured by the Chaos Array, flowed in like a long river, pouring into the Chaos Array along the gray silk ribbons.

Purple flames, cold death energy, primordial chaos, and the passage of time—the four sources of Dao clashed wildly within the array patterns, attempting to break free of their restraints.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and his hands formed a series of hand seals.

Chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth like a tide, pouring into the array patterns. The gray Dao light surged, surrounded by seven colors, and fiercely pressed down on the four-colored Dao Yuan. The four-colored Dao Yuan shrieked, exploded, and turned into countless points of light that scattered.

Li Mu opened his mouth and inhaled, and billions of light spots surged like a long river flowing backward, all disappearing into his mouth.

The seven primordial trees emitted seven-colored light, which flowed into Li Mu's body through their roots, continuously transforming the primordial chaos.

"This kid is using us as nourishment!"

The Lord of Purple Extremes' face turned ashen. He sensed the stubbornness of the Chaos Array. His attack not only failed to break the array but also strengthened it.

"The Great Dao of Chaos is indeed troublesome!" The Netherworld Dao Master's death aura surged, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Unless you, me, and the other three of us personally intervene, this kind of attack is nothing more than scratching an itch through clothing, causing no real pain or discomfort!" The Primordial Dao Master's body was enveloped in the Daoist aura of cause and effect, his face grim.

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's eyes flickered, and he remained silent, sensing that the erosive power of the River of Time had completely dissipated, and the Chaos Array had become even more stable.

"Personally taking part?" The Purple Extreme Lord's purple eyes turned cold as he looked into the depths of the Chaotic Vast Land: "Then let's see whether his Chaotic Dao is stronger, or my Purple Heaven Dao Body is stronger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Purple Extremes took a step forward, his figure vanished, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the Chaos Array.

"Ziji! What are you doing?" The Netherworld Dao Master's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Break the formation!"

The Lord of Purple Extremes roared like thunder, his body radiating purple light, and nine purple sun dharma images appeared, carrying the power to burn the heavens and destroy the earth, and crashed fiercely into the Chaos Array.

With a deafening roar, the void shattered.

The chaotic array trembled violently, the gray light exploded, and the seven-colored radiance intertwined to form a net, desperately blocking the attack of the Purple Extreme Lord.

However, the Purple Extreme Lord's collision ultimately created a crack in the array wall.

"Let's do it together!"

The Primordial Dao Master shouted in a deep voice, took a step forward, and the Dao of Cause and Effect flowed around his body. His chaotic eyes looked at the crack, and with a flick of his finger, the threads of cause and effect pierced the crack like needles.

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's gray eyes flashed. He took a step forward, and the River of Time reversed, transforming into a giant gray-white sword that slashed towards the crack.

The Lord of the Netherworld gritted his teeth, and the White Bone Throne soared into the air. Countless illusory corpses converged, transforming into a giant fist of death energy that slammed into the crack.

With all four main forces attacking simultaneously, the Chaos Array was on the verge of collapse.

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

Li Mu's chaotic will spread out, enveloping the entire vast land. The seven primordial ancestral trees trembled simultaneously, and seven-colored Dao light surged out like a tide, pouring into the chaotic array.

"I am here, none of you shall even think of stepping into my territory!" Li Mu's voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the void.

The Chaos Array operated rapidly, the gray Dao light surged, surrounded by seven colors, forcefully blocking the attacks of the four masters.

The Lord of Purple Extremes had a gloomy expression, glaring angrily at the figure, his eyes revealing murderous intent: "This kid is even more troublesome than he was a thousand years ago!"

The Netherworld Dao Master's deathly aura surged as he retorted unwillingly, "The Great Dao of Chaos devours all things and encompasses everything. The fiercer our attacks, the more he enjoys absorbing them!"

"We can't keep dragging this out, things could change if we delay!" The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master felt uneasy and urged anxiously as he looked at the figure.

"Sever his connection with the source veins of the Chaos Domain!" The Primordial Dao Lord urged, gazing into the depths of the Chaos Domain.

"Sever the Chaos Source Vein?" The Purple Extreme Lord's purple eyes flashed coldly, indicating, "Then break through his Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors!"

"Send orders to all domains!" The Lord of Purple Extremes' voice boomed like thunder as he telepathically instructed the allied forces of the four domains: "Attack with all your might, at any cost!"

The four allied forces roared in unison, and their offensive intensified.

Purple light, ghostly light, grayish-white light, and primordial light—four colors of Dao light—poured out like a raging tide, violently crashing into the Chaos Array. Cracks appeared densely on the array walls, the grayish Dao light flickered erratically, and the seven-colored radiance swirled wildly, but the healing speed could not keep up with the rate of collapse.

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, ten thousand ancestral trees trembled in unison, their light scattered and disordered among the branches and leaves.

Lei Yan Daozu suddenly stood up, purple lightning flashing as he stared at the trunk of the Lei Zu Tree. Strange patterns appeared, winding like snakes and spreading towards the heart of the tree.

Iron Head roared, and the phantom of the Ancestral Tree of Fire surged, white flames leaping and burning towards the strange patterns.

Xue'er's Taiyin True Eyes rotated between her brows, and moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping the Ice Blue Ancestral Tree.

Xiao Jin leaped into the air, his crimson-gold battle aura soaring into the sky. He punched the trunk of the Crimson-Gold Ancestral Tree, shattering a strange pattern. The pattern instantly reformed and spread upwards again.

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

Li Mu sat cross-legged among the seven trees, his body surrounded by a hazy, ethereal light, with the seven spirits encircling him. His chaotic will spread out, enveloping the entire vast land, and the attacks from the four regions were all reflected in his mind.

The seven primordial ancestral trees trembled simultaneously.

The Golden Crow shrieked, and the Heavenly Fire surged. The Azure Dragon roared, and the life force of the Wood element surged wildly. The Black Tortoise howled, and the Weak Water surged. The Qilin trod on the clouds, and the Earth element's light soared into the sky. The White Tiger crouched, and the Metal element's sharp edge cleaved the sky. The Thunder God wielded his hammer, and purple lightning crisscrossed the void. The Wind God flicked his sleeve, and a hurricane swept through.

Seven-colored Dao light surged out like a tide, flowing into the Chaos Array along the Origin Vein Spirit Network. The cracks in the Chaos Array wall healed, collapsed, healed again, and collapsed again.

The Lord of the Purple Extremes stood before the formation, surrounded by nine purple suns, his purple eyes deep and unfathomable.

The Netherworld Dao Master's death aura surged, and his eerie green eyes flickered: "The seven primordial ancestral trees won't last long."

The Primordial Dao Lord's body was filled with the Daoist aura of cause and effect, and his chaotic eyes looked at the cracks in the array wall: "Attack again, break his array eye."

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's gray eyes were deep and focused. The River of Time reversed, transforming into a giant gray-white sword, which slashed towards the array wall.

With all four main forces attacking simultaneously, the Chaos Array was on the verge of collapse.

At the edge of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, the trunk of an ancestral tree cracked, its branches and leaves fell, and it turned into dust.

Ten plants.

One hundred plants.

……

Li Mu's expression darkened slightly. His hands formed a series of hand seals, and chaotic Dao energy surged forth like a tide, pouring into the seven primordial ancestral trees. Seven-colored Dao light soared into the sky, pouring into the chaotic array and stabilizing its formation.

However, the four-domain offensive was too fierce, and the Chaos Array was being consumed too quickly.

The flow of the Source Vein Spirit Network became sluggish, and the speed of Source Qi plummeted.

Gu Xi Daozu stood before the Source Measurement Array, his clear eyes reflecting a light screen, his face deathly pale: "The array can't hold on any longer."

Dao Ancestor Haotian quickly calculated with his fingers, his starry eyes dimming, and said hastily, "At most three months."

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

The crimson crown of the ancestral tree, a branch has cracked, and the phantom of the golden crow has dimmed.

The crown of the ancestral tree, green withering leaves, is now crumbling, and the green dragon seems to be coiled precariously.

A piece of bark peeled off the blue ancestral tree canopy, and the Black Tortoise raised its head and let out a low growl.

……

The seven primordial ancestral trees were damaged one after another.

Li Mu groaned, a trickle of grayish blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

“Father!” Xiao Yuan stood by the Spirit Pool, his body surrounded by a mixture of milky white and gray, anxiously gazing into the depths of the Source Sea.

Li Mu's eyes swirled with chaotic starlight, and his hands formed a series of hand seals: "Return to One Chaos!"

Within the Chaos Dao Body, the meridians swelled, the acupoints shone brightly, the Dao Foundation trembled violently, and the Chaos Origin surged like boiling water, rushing out along the meridians and pouring into the seven Primordial Ancestral Trees.

The seven primordial trees trembled simultaneously, their trunks swelled, their canopies expanded, and seven-colored Dao light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Origin Sea. The seven-colored pillars of light intertwined and poured into the Chaos Array.

The array wall expanded dramatically, and a gray, hazy light soared into the sky, surrounded by seven colors, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-long light barrier that blocked all attacks from the four regions outside the array.

The Purple Extreme Lord's expression changed: "This kid has burned his source energy."

The Netherworld Dao Master's deathly aura surged: "It won't last long."

The Primordial Dao Lord's chaotic eyes flashed: "Attack with all your might and wear him down."

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse reversed the flow of time, and the gray-white giant sword slashed towards the array wall.

The four main forces attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of deadly moves. (End of Chapter)
