Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The Lord of the Celestial Eclipse has fallen!
The River of Time froze like a mirror, and fragments of time stopped drifting on its surface. The Sea of ​​Time stood still, and a strange white light spread like a plague, spreading in all directions along the river. Deep in the riverbed, the source of time of the Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master was completely devoured by the strange silk, and the gray-white source was completely stained with a strange white luster.

The Demon Mother stood at the source of the long river, her long hair flying, while the human-faced fruits screamed in unison.

The entire sea of ​​time has been transformed into a realm of deceit.

The Lord of Purple Extremes had a grim face. Purple light surged from the axe wound on his chest, and the nine purple sun dharma images surrounded him, flickering uncertainly. He watched helplessly as the Dao Palace collapsed, the fragments of the Time Crystal Core scattered like snow, and the aura of the Heavenly Eclipse completely dissipated.

"withdraw."

The Lord of Purple Extremes gritted his teeth and spat out this word, causing the Nine Purple Suns Dharma to explode simultaneously. Purple light soared into the sky, transforming into countless streams of light that shot out in all directions, obscuring the void. The Purple Heaven Army retreated like a tide; 300,000 ancestral trees were uprooted, 6 million Dao soldiers withdrew from their formation, and the Dao Ancestors returned to their respective positions. The torrent of purple light swiftly fled eastward into the void, covering ten thousand miles in an instant.

The Netherworld Lord's deathly aura surged, cracks spread across the White Bone Throne, and the countless illusory corpses beneath it shattered with shrill cries. He transformed into a streak of ghostly light and fled swiftly into the western void. Five million Cold Netherworld soldiers followed closely behind, the deathly aura receding like an inky tide, and two hundred thousand ancestral trees uprooted, deathly aura gushing forth from the broken roots.

The Primordial Dao Lord gritted his teeth, the threads of cause and effect snapping inch by inch. He raised his hand and waved, the Primordial Qi surging like a tide, enveloping the remaining auras of Zi Ji and You Sha, and fleeing into the depths of the void. The Daoist rhyme of cause and effect flowed like silk, sealing off their escape route.

The three-colored energy dissipates like the receding tide.

Li Mu raised his axe, his chaotic will locking onto the primordial energy-laden stream of light deep within the void. He took a step forward, and the gray Dao light exploded, his figure transforming into a gray line as he chased after it.

"Master Li, stop chasing!" the Ghost Mother hurriedly sent a telepathic message.

Li Mu paused, then turned to look at the Ghost Mother.

The Demon Mother stood at the source of the long river, half of her body growing new flesh wildly, her white bones covered in fluid, and the Dao patterns re-forming. Her demonic white eyes were as deep as an abyss, gazing into the depths of the void at the vanished stream of light.

"You can't catch up. The primordial law of cause and effect is best at escaping. He's determined to run, and you can't catch him."

Li Mu sheathed his axe and stood still, his gray aura subdued, gazing into the depths of the void.

The remnants of the Three Realms retreated like stray dogs, the purple light, the ghostly glow, and the primordial energy dissipated, leaving only a deathly silence and turbulent currents.

The Zixiao and Lengyou domains suffered more than half their losses, with most of the 300,000 Zixiao Ancestral Trees withered, nearly half of the 6 million Dao soldiers lost, and over a thousand Dao Ancestors perished. The 200,000 Lengyou Ancestral Trees withered by 40%, one million of the 5 million Dao soldiers lost, and over 500 Dao Ancestors perished.

With the fall of the Heavenly Eclipse Dao Lord, the Four Domains Alliance became a mere shell of its former self, and the crisis in the Chaotic Vast Land was resolved.

Li Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at the Ghost Mother.

Then, the Demon Mother formed hand seals, and a blinding white light shot into the sky. Countless demonic threads surged from her body, plunging into the solidified river of time, into the remaining primordial energy of the eclipse deep within the riverbed, and into the scattered fragments of time.

next moment,
The river of time surged, and the solidified timeline on its surface shattered, transforming into countless points of light that flew towards the Demon Mother. The remnants of the eclipse's essence deep within the riverbed were uprooted by the Demon Silk and transformed into a greyish-white river of light that poured into the Demon Mother's mouth. The scattered fragments of time, like a river flowing backward, were all swallowed up.

The aura of the eerie mother was rising steadily.

Half of his body churned with fluid, new flesh and blood grew wildly, bones were covered in the fluid, Dao patterns reassembled, and a new arm instantly grew from the severed arm, with long, slender fingers and rounded fingertips. His sunken face bulged as before, and his eerie white eyes were as deep as an abyss.

A strange white light illuminated the entire Sea of ​​Time.

Li Mu stood to one side, holding an axe. His gray light was contained, and his chaotic will swept across the solidified sea of ​​time.

Beneath the sea, the veins of time crisscross like dragon veins, each containing the accumulated cultivation of the Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master throughout his life. Within these veins, the scales of time flow and the power of the years surges, some as thick as mountains and others as fine as silk.

The three thickest veins of time are located in the deepest part of the Source Sea.

The first line stretches for millions of miles and is as wide as a great river. Within its source vein, fragments of time surge like a tide, reflecting the ages.

The second line, winding like a dragon, has time markings as numerous as stars on its source vein, each marking reflecting a long period of time.

The third one is located at the core of the seabed, where the void around the source vein is distorted and the flow of time is disordered, making a moment feel like ten thousand years.

With a thought, Li Mu unleashed the Chaos Dao Domain.

A hazy, gray light descended like a celestial curtain, enveloping the void for tens of thousands of miles. The will of chaos condensed into a line, probing into the seabed and locking onto three source veins.

The Demon Mother opened her eyes, her white pupils staring at Li Mu: "Master Li, what are you going to do?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, I'll take my share of the spoils!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu reached out and made a grabbing motion.

Chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth, transforming into a gigantic gray hand that probed into the solidified Sea of ​​Time, reaching the depths of the seabed. The chaotic giant hand plunged in, causing the seawater to surge back and fragments of time to scatter.

The giant hand gripped the first source vein and pulled it out forcefully.

The source vein trembled violently, the time scale shattered, and the power of time surged like boiling water, struggling desperately to break free of its restraints. However, the gray giant hand closed its five fingers, and the chaotic Dao essence enveloped it layer by layer, preventing the source vein from struggling.

"rise."

Li Mu let out a deep shout, and with a forceful pull of his giant palm, the first source vein was uprooted. As the source vein detached from the seabed, fragments of time poured down like a torrential rain, and the power of time surged violently, only to be firmly suppressed by the hazy Dao light.

Li Mu waved his hand, and the Chaos Treasure Palace opened.

The mansion gates swung open, revealing a chaotic sea of ​​energy within that churned and boiled, unleashing a torrent of devouring power that entangled the source vein. The source vein trembled violently, its time scale shattering and transforming into pure essence of time, which was then pulled into the mansion gates by the devouring power.

The first source vein was incorporated into the Chaos Treasure Palace.

The ghost mother's white eyes flickered as she watched the source vein disappear into the mansion gate. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and her lips moved slightly, but she said nothing.

The second palm strike was launched.

A gigantic, gray hand reached into the seabed and grasped the second source vein. The source vein, winding like a dragon, struggled desperately, its power of time transforming into a gray-white pillar of light that slammed into the gigantic hand.

The chaotic giant palm neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the pillar of light to bombard it, the gray Dao light shattering, yet it remained unmoved. It then closed its five fingers and pulled forcefully.

The second source vein was uprooted.

Fragments of time scattered, the power of the years surged like boiling water, and were suppressed layer by layer by the chaotic Dao Yuan.

The power of the Chaos Treasure Palace surged forth, entangling the source vein and pulling it into the palace gate.

The Ghost Mother frowned slightly, her white eyes fixed on Li Mu. When she saw him looking at the giant source vein again, a dark glint flashed in her white eyes.

Li Mu was completely unaware as he extended his third palm.

A colossal, gray hand reached into the core of the seabed, grasping the third Origin Vein. This Origin Vein, as thick as a mountain, coiled on the seabed, distorted the surrounding void, disrupting the flow of time. As the giant hand touched the Origin Vein, the power of time rebounded, spreading along the hand to Li Mu's arm.

On Li Mu's arm, time markers appeared, his flesh aging at a visible speed, then instantly recovering. This cycle of aging and recovery repeated itself endlessly.

Li Mu formed hand seals, and chaotic Dao Yuan surged wildly, shattering the time scale. He exerted force with his five fingers, causing the Origin Meridian to tremble violently and struggle desperately. Fragments of time exploded deep within the Origin Meridian, and the power of time surged out like a raging tide.

"Rise, Your Majesty!"

With a deep shout, Li Mu unleashed the full power of the Chaos Dao Domain. The gray Dao light surged, and the giant chaotic hand pulled forcefully, uprooting the third source vein. In an instant, fragments of time poured down like a torrential rain, causing the entire Sea of ​​Time to tremble violently.

On the sea, countless frozen timelines shattered, and many strange trees were uprooted.

The Demon Mother's expression changed, and she formed hand seals, unleashing a surge of white light that stabilized the Sea of ​​Time.

"Lord Li, take it if you want, why destroy my foundation!" Li Mu smiled without saying a word. The Chaos Treasure Palace opened, and the power of devouring surged out, entangling the third source vein and pulling it into the palace gate.

All three source veins were incorporated into the Chaos Treasure Palace.

Inside the mansion gates, the chaotic sea of ​​qi surged and boiled. Three time-source veins floated above the sea of ​​qi, the scales of time flowing, the power of the years surging, and merging with the chaotic sea of ​​qi.

Li Mu withdrew his hand, the gray light receded, and the Chaos Treasure Palace closed.

The Demon Mother stood at the source of the Sea of ​​Time, her white eyes looking at Li Mu with a fleeting look of reluctance. She said nothing, closed her eyes, and continued to devour the remaining essence of time.

Li Mu stood to one side, holding an axe, as his chaotic will sank into the treasure palace.

The three source veins were slowly refined in the chaotic sea of ​​qi. The time scale shattered and transformed into the pure essence of light and time, which merged into the chaotic Dao essence. Within the chaotic Dao body, the meridians swelled, the acupoints shone brightly, and the light and time patterns appeared on the Dao foundation, intertwining with the chaotic Dao patterns.

A smile appeared on Li Mu's lips.

The agreed-upon item has been received; there is no loss.

Time surges like a turbulent sea.

The Mother of Demons devoured with increasing speed, its countless demonic threads plunging into the depths of the sea, frantically absorbing the remaining essence of the Heavenly Eclipse. Above the sea surface, a forest of demonic trees stood, a pale white expanse stretching as far as the eye could see, while the human-faced fruits shrieked and murmured like a tidal wave.

The aura of the eerie mother was rising steadily.

Half of his shattered body had completely healed, new flesh covering the bones, and the Dao patterns reassembled as before. His eerie white eyes were as deep as an abyss, reflecting the collapse of countless worlds and the fall of all living beings. His long hair fell down, the ends of which shone with a strange white light, and the human-faced fruit swelled to the size of a fist, its mouth opening to shriek.

A strange white light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire void.

The solidified surface of the Sea of ​​Time began to loosen, and the time scale slowly shifted. However, the speed of the shift became slower and slower, and the eerie white light eroded deeper and deeper.

Li Mu stood to one side, his gray-haired gaze restrained, observing coldly from the sidelines.

The demon mother opened her eyes, her white pupils looking at Li Mu.

"Lord Li, Heavenly Eclipse is dead, and the Four Regions have retreated. I have fulfilled our agreement."

Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "I will do what I should do!"

The Demon Mother gazed towards the direction of the Chaotic Vast Land, her white eyes flashing.

"The three masters have been injured and fled, and may seek revenge on the Chaos Land in the future!" The Ghost Mother looked at Li Mu and indicated, "I need some time to refine the Heavenly Eclipse Origin before my Ghostly Path can be perfected. I cannot help you!"

"No need for you to worry, fellow Daoist. I have my own way of dealing with this!" Li Mu smiled confidently and took his leave, saying, "Mother of Demons, we'll meet again another day!"

The Demon Mother nodded, watching Li Mu leave. Her body surged with a strange white light, and countless strange threads plunged into the depths of the Sea of ​​Time, devouring the remaining Heavenly Eclipse Origin.

Li Mu turned around, took a step forward, and the gray light exploded. His figure turned into a gray line, instantly crossing hundreds of millions of miles of void, and rushed towards the Chaotic Land.

Seven days later.

At the edge of the chaotic vast land, a flash of gray light appeared.

Li Mu broke through the void and landed above the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors.

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, ten thousand ancestral trees stand tall. The trunks are covered with cracks, and the branches and leaves are withered. Dao soldiers sit cross-legged under the trees, and various colors of Dao light flicker. Dao Ancestors close their eyes to heal their injuries, and half of them are wounded.

Li Mu's chaotic will swept across the entire vast land.

The ancestral trees withered by 30%, a million Dao soldiers perished, over 3,000 Dao Ancestors fell, the source vein spiritual network was more than half destroyed, and the flow of source qi became sluggish. All seven primordial ancestral trees were damaged, their trunks cracked like spider webs, and their seven spirits dimmed.

Gu Xi Daozu arrived through the air and landed in front of Li Mu, bowing and saying, "Dao Master."

Following closely behind, Dao Ancestor Haotian looked at Li Mu with his starry eyes and asked with concern, "Welcome back, Dao Lord! I wonder if your journey was successful?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said directly, "The Heavenly Eclipse is dead, and the crisis of the Chaos Dao Domain has been resolved!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Gu Xi trembled and exclaimed in surprise, "Dao Master, are you saying that Dao Master Tian Shi has perished?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "The Demon Mother swallowed the Heavenly Eclipse Origin, the Sea of ​​Time was completely taken over by the Demonic Path, the Four Domains Alliance collapsed, and the Purple Extreme, Netherworld, and Primordial Domains suffered more than half their losses, making them unable to launch another attack in the short term!"

Dao Ancestor Haotian quickly calculated with his fingers, his starry eyes shining brightly: "The Four Domains Alliance has collapsed, and the crisis in Haotu is resolved."

Gu Xi Daozu stroked his beard and smiled, saying with delight, "Two thousand years have passed, and this calamity has finally ended! That's wonderful!"

"Send word to all realms to rest and recuperate." Li Mu looked at the two and ordered in a deep voice, "I need to go into seclusion for a period of time to refine the Time Source Vein. You two are in charge of handling the affairs of the Vast Land."

Gu Xi Dao Zu bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Li Mu nodded, and with a flash, he transformed into chaotic energy and vanished.

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

Seven primordial ancestral trees stood tall, their trunks riddled with cracks, and their seven-colored light flickered erratically.

The golden crow perches on a branch, its feathers charred black. The azure dragon coils around a tree trunk, its scales cracked. The black tortoise lies beneath a tree, its shell cracked. The qilin lies at the tree root, its broken horn yet to grow. The white tiger crouches beside a tree, its missing tooth yet to grow. The thunder god holds a hammer, its hammer broken and unhealed; after a gust of wind, he flicks his sleeve, its sleeve torn and unpatched.

The seven spirits sensed Li Mu's presence and murmured in unison, conveying their joy.

Li Mu landed among the seven trees and sat cross-legged in the void.

The seven trees swayed, and seven-colored Dao light converged, while a hazy Dao light flowed, protecting Li Mu's body.

With a thought, Li Mu sent his chaotic will into the Chaotic Treasure Palace.

Within the Chaos Treasure Palace, the Qi Sea churned and boiled.

Three Time Source Veins float above the Qi Sea, the time scales flow, and the power of the years surges like a tide.

The first source vein stretches for millions of miles, with fragments of time surging like a tide, reflecting countless ages; the second source vein meanders like a dragon, with time markers as dense as stars; the third source vein sits in the center of the Qi Sea, as thick as a mountain, distorting the void and disrupting the flow of time.

The three source veins resonate with each other, their power of time intertwined to form a net, attempting to break free from the shackles of the chaotic sea of ​​qi.

Li Mu focused his mind and formed hand seals.

Chaotic Dao Yuan surged forth, and the gray Dao light rushed towards the three source veins like a tide, separating them, and began to refine the first source vein of time.

The first primordial vein trembled violently, fragments of time shattered, and the power of the years surged like boiling water, desperately resisting.

Layers of hazy light enveloped it, and chaotic Dao essence wrapped around it like silk, eroding the power of time inch by inch. Fragments of time shattered and transformed into pure essence of time, which then counterattacked the chaotic sea of ​​qi.

The chaotic sea of ​​qi churned, and the gray, hazy light surged.

Li Mu was not surprised but delighted. These resistances from the source of nothingness would only accelerate his refining speed. He immersed himself completely in the process and fully activated the Chaos Dao.

In an instant, the chaotic sea of ​​qi was engulfed in a fierce battle between the hazy Dao light and the power of time. Fragments of time exploded wave after wave, and the power of time surged like a tide, washing over the chaotic sea of ​​qi. (End of Chapter)
