Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Time flies, and forty-nine days have passed.

The Three Talents Source-Breaking Nail was forged.

Three blood nails floated in the void, no more than three inches long. The nails were intertwined with three colors: purplish-red like solidified fire, dark green like putrid water, and grayish-white like dead fog. The three kinds of Daoist charms were intertwined with each other.

With a wave of his hand, the Primordial Dao Master sent a blood nail into his palm. The causal Dao patterns on his palm lit up on their own, resonating with the blood essence within the nail.

"The Heavenly Pivot belongs to me." The Primordial Daoist Master put the nail into his sleeve and turned to the two masters, gesturing, "The Earthly Palace belongs to the Purple Extreme, and the Human Gate belongs to the Netherworld."

The Lord of Purple Extremes reached out to catch the Blood Fiend Source Nail, while the Lord of Netherworld Fiends formed hand seals, using death energy to hold the Blood Fiend Source Nail. The three lords exchanged glances, their eyes blazing with killing intent.

"Time waits for no one! Cast the spell immediately!"

The Primordial Dao Lord glanced at the two masters and gave them a signal. Then, he formed a hand seal, and the threads of cause and effect enveloped the Blood Fiend Source Nails. His boundless divine sense pierced through the void, through the barrier of time, and through the Chaos Array, pointing directly at the three source vein nodes deep within the Chaos Land.

The Celestial Pivot is located directly east of the Myriad Dao Source Sea, where the roots of seven Primordial Ancestral Trees converge. The Earthly Gate is located northwest of the Forest of Myriad Ancestors, where the source veins of ten thousand ancestral trees converge. The Human Gate is located directly below the Chaos Dao Palace, the central hub where the source Qi of the entire vast land flows.

"go."

The Primordial Dao Master flicked his finger.

The Blood Fiend Source Nail transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the air. Where the nail passed, the void remained calm and undisturbed, and the Time Array Wall showed no reaction whatsoever.

Tian Shu node.

The gray-green primordial vein is as thick as a dragon, and the primordial energy surges like boiling water. The roots of the seven primordial ancestral trees converge here, and the Dao light between the roots intertwines into a net with dense mesh, leaving no gaps for anyone to take advantage of.

The nail fell in.

Silently.

The blood nail pierced the core of the node. Its three-inch length completely obliterated the source vein.

The Earth Gate and the Human Gate are exactly the same.

Both the Lord of Purple Extreme and the Lord of Netherworld Fiend, at the Transformation Realm, used Dao Yuan to envelop the Blood Fiend Source Nail and simultaneously employed a secret technique.

Three blood nails were driven into three nodes almost simultaneously.

Next, the Lord of Purple Extremes sat cross-legged in the void, his nine purple sun dharma forms receding into his body, his purple eyes slightly closed. The Lord of Netherworld sat on the throne of white bones, his death aura contained within; the Lord of Primordial Beginning stood in the void, threads of cause and effect suspended from his fingertips, together sensing the state of the three blood nails.

Three different kinds of Dao forces spread along the Chaos Origin Vein. The Purple Heaven Dao Fire burned through the spiritual nets in the Origin Vein, the cold and deathly aura corroded the Origin Qi channels, and the power of cause and effect coiled like snakes, severing the connection between the roots of the Seven Trees and the Origin Vein.

Currently, all three nodes have been compromised simultaneously.

The Chaos Source Vein Spirit Network was severed from the central point, causing the flow of Source Qi to suddenly stagnate, like a river drying up or blood vessels becoming blocked. The connection between the Source Vein and the roots of the Seven Trees was forcibly severed by the three blood nails. The roots of the Seven Primordial Ancestral Trees twitched deep within the Source Sea, unable to draw Source Qi from the Source Vein. The Spirit Network became blocked, and the Chaos Array began to malfunction, intermittently pausing.

……

Starry Sky Platform.

The source array continued to vibrate violently.

Above the array, the entire landscape's primordial energy flow was clearly revealed. The three thickest primordial energy main veins—the Heavenly Pivot Vein, the Earthly Gate Vein, and the Human Gate Vein—had three blood-red fissures appearing at their nodes. The edges of the fissures were eroded by three-colored light, and the fissures were widening. The flow rate of primordial energy dropped sharply at the fissures, with the upstream primordial energy churning like boiling water, while the downstream primordial energy rapidly dried up.

"The source vein has been severed."

Gu Xi Daozu stared intently at the array screen, his expression suddenly changing.

Xue'er hurriedly traveled from the Myriad Source Sea to the Star Evolution Platform. Her Taiyin True Eyes spun between her brows, and moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall, piercing through the chaotic earth and penetrating deep into the source veins.

Under the Taiyin True Eye, nothing can hide.

Three core nodes.

Three three-inch blood nails were deeply embedded in the source vein.

The nail's body was covered with three-colored Dao patterns, purple-red Dao fire burned through the spiritual net, dark green death energy corroded the source Qi, and gray-white causal threads pulled the three nails to resonate.

Three different kinds of Dao forces were frantically eroding the source vein, spreading inch by inch towards the roots of the seven trees. The strange forces had spread to the outer edge of the roots, causing the roots of the seven trees to tremble violently. The gray Dao light clashed fiercely with the strange forces.

"The Chaotic Vast Land has been invaded by three different paths of origin, and the flow of the Source Vein Spirit Network is not smooth. It must be the work of those three Dao Lords!" Xue'er said in a deep voice.

"What should we do! When will the Dao Master return! Only he can break such a method!" Dao Ancestor Gu Xi's face turned pale as he looked at Xue'er and asked with concern.

"I don't know!" Xue'er's face tightened, and she said with a bitter smile.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Haotian's face was deathly pale, his starlight flickered erratically, his hands moved so fast that afterimages appeared one after another, and the starry river in his starry eyes swirled more and more rapidly as he deduced layer by layer.

Suddenly!

Haotian Daozu paused, his starry eyes blazing.

“Three years.” Haotian Daozu looked at Guxi Daozu and Xue’er said urgently, “If we cannot stop the invasion and erosion of these three forces, the Chaos Array will completely collapse in three years at most.”

"So short!" Gu Xi Daozu immediately became anxious and said worriedly, "What if the Dao Master can't get back in time..."

"The only option is to fight to the death!"

Xue'er's face was slightly pale, her eyes fixed on the void beyond, her expression resolute.

Gu Xi Dao Zu and Hao Tian Dao Zu exchanged a glance and nodded silently, agreeing with Xue'er's statement.

"Brother Li."

Xue'er murmured softly, her Taiyin True Eyes gazing into the endless void, where a hazy, gray light was hurtling towards her at an incredible speed. Within the light, that familiar aura drew ever closer.

Can you make it?

Xue'er didn't know; all she knew was that the Chaotic Land could not be broken before Li Mu returned.

"Send orders to all regions to prepare for a desperate defense."

Xue'er let out a clear shout, and the moonlight soared into the sky.

In the vast and chaotic land, tens of thousands of Dao Ancestors and millions of Dao Soldiers responded to the command.

Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, Qingyue Zhenlong, Chilian Huofeng, Gu Ling, Mingyue, and others all appeared, brimming with fighting spirit.

……

Beyond the Chaotic Vast Land.

The Primordial Dao Lord sat cross-legged in the void, his Eyes of Cause and Effect piercing through the barrier of time, revealing the entire interior of the Chaotic Vast Land.

The source veins of the Myriad Paths Origin Sea collapsed, the seven primordial ancestral trees dimmed, the seven spirits wailed, the Time Array Wall continued to weaken, the Chaos Array was not functioning properly, and it was on the verge of collapse.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Primordial Dao Lord looked up at the sky and laughed, the Daoist principles of cause and effect soaring into the heavens.

Before the laughter subsided, a purple light came from the east, and a deathly aura arrived from the west. The Lord of the Purple Extreme, with his nine purple sun dharma images surrounding him, shot out a burst of brilliant purple light from his eyes.

The Lord of the Netherworld sat on the throne of white bones, his deathly aura surging like boiling water, his eerie green eyes filled with wild joy.

"The three source veins are all severed, and the roots of the seven trees are damaged!" The Lord of Purple Extreme suppressed his excitement and said excitedly, "With the Chaos Array broken, the Chaos Land will have no defenses left."

The Primordial Dao Lord stopped laughing, his killing intent rising: "If he returns, his foundation will be destroyed. If he doesn't return, the vast land will be destroyed. In any case, the Chaos Dao Lord's power is gone."

Unable to contain his excitement, the Lord of the Purple Extremes declared, "After conquering the Chaos Land, I will personally slay those seven Primordial Ancestral Trees to vent my hatred!"

The Netherworld Dao Lord's death aura surged, and he sneered, "I will refine those 100,000 Ancestral Trees and turn them into nourishment for the Cold Netherworld Death Domain."

The Primordial Dao Lord raised his eyes, his eyes of cause and effect sweeping over the two masters, and said in a deep voice, "This is an opportunity that must not be missed. The Chaos Array has collapsed but not broken, and the walls of the Time Array are thin but not breached. If we do not attack now, when will we?"

The Lord of Purple Extremes took a step forward, and the nine purple sun dharma images trembled simultaneously. The Purple Heaven Dao Fire soared into the sky, condensing into nine purple fire pillars in the void. The fire pillars rotated like wheels, illuminating half of the void as purple-red as blood.

"Purple Cloud Army! Follow me and burn that array barrier!"

The voice of the Lord of the Purple Extremes resounded through the void.

Four million Purple Cloud Dao soldiers responded in unison, their purple armor like scales and their purple spears like a forest, transforming into a torrent of purple light that crushed towards the eastern side of the Time Array Wall.

The Lord of the Netherworld Dao spun his throne of bones, and deathly energy surged like an inky tide. Countless illusory corpses emerged from the deathly energy, their shrill cries shaking the void and covering the heavens and earth. "Cold Netherworld Dao Soldiers!"

Five million Cold Netherworld soldiers roared in unison, their bone armor gleaming white, their bone spears like a forest. Two hundred thousand Cold Netherworld Ancestral Tree roots surged, and deathly energy poured into the army formation like an inky tide.

"Follow me, and erode through that array barrier!"

The cold, ghostly army transformed into a torrent of death energy, crushing towards the western side of the Time Array Wall.

The Primordial Dao Lord stood in the void, the Daoist rhythm of cause and effect flowing around his body, and a gray-white Daoist light soared into the sky, illuminating the void as pale as bone.

"The Primordial Dao Army!"

Three million Primordial Dao soldiers stood in formation, their gray armor as hard as stone, their gray spears like a forest. Two hundred thousand Primordial Ancestral Trees took root in the void, their causal Dao light intertwined into a net, the meshes of which were densely covered with threads.

"Follow me, break through that array barrier!"

The primordial army transformed into a gray-white torrent, crushing towards the south side of the Time Array Wall.

The armies of the three regions launched a joint attack.

On the east side, the Nine Wheels of Purple Sun Dharma of the Lord of Purple Extreme merged into one, transforming into a blazing purple-black sun, which hovered above the Time Array Wall. The sun rotated, and the Purple Heaven Dao Fire poured down like a torrential rain, covering the entire array wall.

Four million Dao soldiers simultaneously activated their primordial energy, and three hundred thousand ancestral trees unleashed purple flames that soared into the sky, pouring into the blazing purple-black sun.

On the west side, the deathly aura of the Netherworld Dao Lord surged like a raging sea, with countless illusory corpses rushing towards the array wall. The deathly aura was all-pervasive, seeping into the Time Array Wall and corroding the time scale...

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
In an instant, the armies of the three regions launched a massive offensive.

"The Tian Shu meridian is 70% severed, the Di Que meridian is 60% severed, and the Ren Guan meridian is 50% severed."

The image of the array was reflected in the eyes of the Ancient Dao Ancestor Qinghui. His hands changed hand seals one after another, and the light of his Dao transformed into countless threads that seeped into the cracked source vein, attempting to fill the crack with the source.

The moment Dao Yuan touched the three-colored light, the Purple Heaven Dao Fire burned along the line, the cold and deathly aura followed and eroded, and the threads of cause and effect strangled him.

Gu Xi Daozu's body trembled violently, and blood couldn't help but spill from the corner of his mouth. His body was instantly severely injured. His peak Dao Integration cultivation was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Xi!" Xue'er cried out in anguish.

Just then, the east side of the platform suddenly exploded.

The blazing, dark purple sun pierced the sky, its combined power of nine purple suns crashing down, while the Purple Heaven Dao Fire poured forth like heavenly flames.

Xue'er didn't have time to greet Dao Ancestor Gu Xi. She took a step forward, and the Taiyin True Eye between her brows circulated at full power. The moonlight soared into the sky, transforming into a long, icy blue river that stretched between the Starry Dao Platform and the blazing purple-black sun.

The moonlight surged within the long river, the power of the Taiyin froze the void, and clashed head-on with the Purple Heaven Dao Fire.

The blazing, dark purple sun crashed into the icy blue river.

With a deafening roar, the moonlight shattered, and icy blue fragments scattered in all directions.

Xue'er fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Icy blue blood dripped down her chin, and the light in her Taiyin True Eye between her brows flickered uncertainly.

"Xue'er!"

Xiao Jin soared into the sky from the depths of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, revealing his true form as a green-eyed golden ape. His thirty million-foot-tall golden body crashed into the blazing purple-black sun, and his Gengjin fist energy blasted into the void.

"A bunch of ants!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Purple Extremes sent out a purple sun dharma image that crashed into Little Gold.

With a loud "boom," the purple sun exploded.

Little Gold's chest was charred black, and golden blood gushed out like a spring as its massive body crashed into the Forest of Ancestors.

Xiao Jin struggled to get up, only to find a transparent hole bursting open in his chest, with his golden heart beating inside. The Purple Heaven Dao Fire burned into his internal organs through the hole.

Xiao Jin looked down at her chest, a hint of confusion flashing in her blue eyes.

The next moment, the golden heart exploded, and the golden ape body fell straight down, motionless.

"Little Jin!"

Xue'er let out a mournful cry, her Taiyin True Eyes shattering in excruciating pain, and the moonlight surged wildly.

The blazing, dark purple sun pressed down on Xue'er.

Just then, Xiao Wa stepped out from the depths of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, and the true form of the Black Jade Rock Lizard appeared, standing in front of Xue'er. The Earth Dao Patterns on its rock armor shone brightly, and it withstood the crushing force of the purplish-black sun.

The black jade armor shattered, one piece, two pieces, ten pieces, a hundred pieces.

Xiaowa's four legs were deeply embedded in the vast soil, and the source of the Earthly Dao gushed out from his body, desperately resisting the blazing purple-black sun.

The Lord of Purple Extremes glanced at it unexpectedly, then waved his hand, and the Purple Heaven Dao Fire fiercely burned into the cracks in the black jade rock armor.

The small tile was enraged and its rock armor peeled off layer by layer, exposing its flesh and blood to the Purple Heaven Dao Fire. The Earth Origin was burned inch by inch by the Dao Fire, and the black jade body rapidly disintegrated from its tail.

"Xiao Wa, back off! Get back now!"

Witnessing this scene, Xue'er screamed shrilly and wept uncontrollably.

However, Xiao Wa remained silent, glancing back at Xue'er with lingering affection. Its four legs were like cast nails in the chaotic earth, its black jade armor completely shattered, and the bloodied and mangled behemoth still stood before the array's core.

The light of the Earthly Branch flickered, blocking Xue'er's path for a full thirteen breaths.

Thirteen breaths later, Xiao Wa's essence was completely exhausted, his body shattered, and his black jade flesh and blood turned into countless fragments that scattered across the sky.

A core of the Earth element fell from the debris, its surface covered with cracks, and fell deep into the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, where it never returned.

The blazing, dark purple sun pressed down once more.

"Brother Li...!" Xue'er murmured fearlessly, her pretty face streaked with tears as she witnessed the fall of Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa. Her Taiyin True Eyes dimmed like a flickering candle.

……

The void on the west side exploded.

A torrent of death energy broke through the formation and entered.

The Lord of the Netherworld sat on the throne of white bones, where deathly energy surged like an ink tide, and countless phantom images of corpses rushed towards him with shrill cries.

Beneath the throne, the cold and gloomy army swept across the land like locusts, leaving ancestral trees withered and Taoist soldiers turning to dust wherever they went.

Mingyue stood on the west side of the array eye, pushing the puppet body to its limit. Thousands of array patterns surged from within its body, transforming into layers of light walls to resist the erosion of death energy.

Death energy seeped into the cracks in the light wall.

Mingyue's body trembled violently, and a Dao pattern at the core of the puppet shattered.

Two paths, ten paths, one hundred paths.

Death energy surged into the puppet's core.

Mingyue looked down at her chest; the core had shattered, and the puppet's body crumbled inch by inch. As it crumbled, Mingyue's remaining will activated the last array rune, which exploded, scattering all the death energy within a hundred feet.

The bright moon crumbled.

The cold, ghostly army trampled over the remains of the puppets.

The White Bone Throne of the Netherworld Lord crushed over the western array wall, and countless illusory corpses rushed towards the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors. One by one, the ancestral trees were corroded by death energy, their trunks withered and their branches and leaves fallen, and Dao soldiers rose up from beneath the trees to fight fiercely.

One Dao Ancestor self-destructed, and the gray Dao light exploded, shattering hundreds of illusory corpses. A large number of Dao Ancestors rushed into the Lengyou army formation, using self-destruction to block the enemy. The continuous explosions were deafening, and the vanguard of the Lengyou army was momentarily halted.

……

At the edge of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors, ancestral trees withered in patches, and Dao soldiers fell in droves.

The source of all things lies deep within the ocean.

The seven primordial ancestral trees cried out in unison, a mournful wail. (End of Chapter)
