Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Time flies and two days have passed.

When the last figure passed through the portal of space and stepped into this mysterious and dangerous inheritance space, the whole space seemed to be awakened, and a golden wave echoed. This wave carried a majestic and solemn atmosphere, as if announcing the official start of a life-and-death contest.

Just as the golden waves were reverberating, the giant stone statue in front of Li Mu suddenly began to crack. Cracks spread across the statue, as if awakening it from its slumber. A terrifying and mysterious aura gradually emanated from it.

Li Mu was slightly surprised and knew that this was the signal for the trial to begin. The huge stone statue in front of him was one of the trials set by the Red Taoist Lord. It was a puppet-like existence. Next, it would continue to chase and kill them, driving them to the middle of the trial, and constantly compressing the living space of the inheritors participating in the competition.

"The trial has begun, let's go!" Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, and greeted the three people.

Upon hearing this, Xue'er, Xiao Wa and Chi Lian all flew into the air and followed Li Mu to the center of the trial space.

Next, they will face an unprecedented challenge. Not only will they have to face the pursuit of powerful giant stone statues, but they will also have to fight with other trial-takers. Only by standing out in this life-and-death contest can they achieve the final victory.

"Master, this statue is slow and can't catch up with us in a short time. Why don't we find a place to hide to avoid encountering other trial participants?"

Xiao Wa suddenly spoke up, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu was speechless for a moment. He did not expect Xiao Wa to use his brain. He nodded and praised: "Not bad, let's find a suitable place to hide first and wait for them to arrive, so as not to run into them."

This inheritance competition not only tests the combat power of the trial-takers, but also tests their survival ability. Only those who survive to the end will be the ultimate winner.

As he spoke, Li Mu turned his head and glanced behind him. He was no longer petrified and was striding towards the giant stone statue they were chasing after. He said, "However, this guy behind us will chase after the target with the golden talisman. Let's keep some distance from it first."

As they were talking, Li Mu and his three companions increased their flying speed and flew towards the depths of the trial space. Although the giant stone statue behind them was a little slow in its movements, it was chasing them relentlessly, and every step caused the ground to tremble violently, and it was relentless in its pursuit.

After galloping for a while and flying thousands of miles, Li Mu and his four companions found a hidden valley.

The valley was surrounded by dense forests and huge rocks, forming a natural barrier that could block the view of the outside world. Li Mu and Xue'er and the others landed quickly and found a hidden cave as a hiding place.

"This place should be safe enough." Li Mu looked at the three people and said, "Let's rest here first. When the stone statue catches up with us, we can think of a way to deal with it."

Xue'er, Xiao Wa, and Chi Lian nodded and each found a seat to sit down.

Chi Lian stretched out his hand and waved. A ball of fire condensed from his palm and landed in the center, illuminating the cave and dispelling the filth inside.

Li Mu thought about it and took out eight formation cards from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. Driven by spiritual power, they floated in the air and then sank into the cave wall. The next moment, the whole valley was filled with white mist, forming an invisible protective formation that enveloped the entire valley.

Then, Li Mu summoned a series of small spider puppets from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. These puppets quickly dispersed around the valley, hiding silently in the cracks between trees and rocks, and quickly fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, all areas within a radius of 500 miles were under surveillance.

"Master, if we enter the treasure house, will this golden talisman disappear? Why don't you let me try it? If it doesn't disappear, we can hide in the treasure house and watch the fight between the mountain tigers." Chi Lian looked at Li Mu and suddenly suggested.

"Well, you can give it a try. However, if you fail, you won't have a share of the Taoist inheritance." Li Mu's mind moved, and he looked at the Red Refining Fire Phoenix and said.

"The skills passed down by this Taoist master are suitable for Xiao Wa, but not for me. It doesn't matter if I lose them." Chi Lian smiled slightly, obviously having made plans.

"In that case, let's give it a try." Li Mu nodded, and then his mind moved.

Chi Lian's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant, and was taken into the Painting World Treasure House by Li Mu.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Mu released the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix from the Painting World Treasure House. Chi Lian's figure appeared in front of everyone again. Everyone's eyes were focused on the golden talisman attached to its arm, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"It's a success. Even if we enter the treasure house, the golden talisman will not dissipate. We can hide inside." Chilian Fire Phoenix looked at Li Mu and said happily.

Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly. If he could use the Huajie Baofu, the most precious treasure in the cave, in this trial, it would be equivalent to cheating, and he would definitely be able to survive to the end.

The Painting World Treasure House is the most precious treasure of the cave heaven. It is of the desired size and shape. It is a spiritual domain of its own. It is hidden so that ordinary cultivators cannot find it. The spiritual energy in the treasure house is rich and the ecology is independent. It can be hidden for hundreds or thousands of years.

"No! Chi Lian, a lot of the earth element power contained in your golden talisman has been lost. It is weaker than the spiritual light of the golden talismans on us." At this time, Xiao Wa seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly reminded.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled and looked at Chi Lian's arm that was as white as jade and as green as lotus roots. The golden talisman attached to the arm emitted a spiritual light that was obviously weaker than theirs. It was obvious that it was due to the consumption caused by her entering the Painting World Treasure House during this time.

"It seems that the method of hiding in the treasure house should not be used for too long, otherwise, the golden talisman will dissipate and this trial will fail." Li Mu saw this scene and guessed with some regret.

"Master, you are good at refining weapons, array formations, and making talismans. Can't this golden talisman replenish its spiritual power?"

Chi Lian looked at Li Mu somewhat unwillingly and asked.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled, his gaze lingered on Chi Lian's white jade arm. Under his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of the golden talisman appeared on the panel.

【Earth Element Condensation Talisman】

[Rank: 8th-level Yuanfu-Zifu]

[Features: Yuanli resonance, spiritual patterns connected, earth elemental spirit following, concentrated mind transmission. ]

[Status: Runes shine, Earth element is with you]

[The possessed Yuanfu is formed by the Gemini Stone, Soul Crystal, Phantom Sand, and the Puppet Earth Element Array condensed by the Daojun's Yuan Power. The Yuanfu contains the power of the twins, and the holder has a strong connection with the Earth Element Puppet. No matter how far away, the Earth Element Array can feel the other party's existence and distance through the Yuanfu. ]

Li Mu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he fully released his consciousness and plunged into the golden talisman, trying to get a glimpse of what was inside. However, when his consciousness touched the inside of the golden talisman, it was like crashing into an endless void, surrounded by deep darkness, as if even time and space were swallowed up. He felt a strong resistance, preventing him from exploring further.

"The structure of this golden talisman is far more complicated than I imagined." Li Mu muttered to himself, frowning. He tried various techniques to try to resonate with the spiritual patterns inside the golden talisman, but all ended in failure.

"It's worthy of the arrangement of the Taoist Master. The method of refining this golden talisman is beyond my understanding." Li Mu sighed lightly and withdrew his spiritual sense. He realized that even with his seventh-level talisman-making skills, he was somewhat powerless in the face of this Yuan Fu.

"Master, is there nothing you can do?" Chi Lian saw that Li Mu looked troubled and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Uh, that's a bit difficult. Let me think about it." Li Mu responded with a frown on his face. His eyes fell on the golden runes. He felt that those patterns were inexplicably familiar.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Mu's eyes fell on an ancient book that had been treasured for a long time in the storage compartment.

The next moment, Li Mu's mind moved, and the pale golden incomplete scripture emerged and floated in front of him.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the half-broken scripture floating in the air. His innate magical power - identifying all spirits, all its attributes were clearly visible.

[The True Unlock of the Divine Mark (Seal) (Incomplete)]

[Rank: Eighth-level Dao Sutra]

[Features: Eternal Divine Marks (sealed), impervious to water and fire, ancient thoughts passed down (sealed), self-evolving Divine Marks (sealed), three thousand Divine Marks (sealed)]

[Status: Divine essence dissipated, spirituality incomplete, divine object defiled and returned to the mortal realm]

[The eighth-level ancient chaos beast skin, the ancient scripture of divine patterns drawn by the immortal thoughts, suffered a devastating blow, washed away by ten thousand years, the charm dissipated, the spirituality was incomplete, and it was reduced to a mortal object. Only by gathering the innate five spiritual patterns, thousands of strands of time, and the power of ten thousand causes and effects can it be unsealed and restored on its own.]

This incomplete sutra was obtained in a trade from Saint Lady Lian Yue. After obtaining it, it has been kept in a storage compartment gathering dust for nearly a hundred years. Now it seems to be useful again.

His fingertips lightly touched the floating incomplete scripture, and an ancient and profound breath instantly spread out. Li Mu closed his eyes, and his mind was completely immersed in it, trying to decipher those sealed ancient divine patterns.

Those originally blurry divine patterns gradually became clear to Li Mu, as if he saw an ancient powerful being drawing divine patterns in the chaos. They jumped and combined in the air, and finally formed a series of exquisite divine pattern scrolls.

He tried hard to connect the knowledge of the divine patterns with the spiritual patterns of the golden talisman, trying to find the common points between them. After countless attempts and failures, Li Mu discovered some clues of connection.

The structure of the golden talisman is extremely similar to an ancient divine pattern recorded in "The True Explanation of Divine Patterns". The functions of divine patterns are to condense the Tao, gather spirits, etc. If one can master the method of drawing this divine pattern, it seems that the mystery of this golden talisman can be solved.

Li Mu took a deep breath and, according to the records in "The True Explanation of Divine Patterns", gathered spiritual power in his fingers and danced them in the air. Rays of spiritual light leaped out from his fingertips, gradually forming a complex and exquisite divine pattern.

As the divine pattern was completed, Li Mu suddenly felt a force of earth element attached to the golden talisman on his arm being activated. He was slightly delighted, confirming that he had found the correct method.

Although it is impossible to completely break the golden pattern, if you can mobilize the energy within the golden pattern, you can find a way to replenish it.

Just as Li Mu was devoting himself to the research of the 'Earthly Element Condensation Talisman', outside, in the competition space, many trial participants who were participating in the inheritance competition were engaging in a fierce fight.

The competition space is a vast field. Under the pursuit of giant stone puppets, the trial participants are driven to a certain area. When they meet, a fierce fight breaks out.

They formed small teams and cooperated with each other. A trialist holding a long sword and moving gracefully moved freely among the crowd. Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by a sharp sword aura, making people afraid to approach easily. He was "Sword Shadow" Zhang Yun, who was famous among the trialists for his superb swordsmanship.

On the other side, a burly participant holding a huge hammer was charging forward, unstoppable. His name was "Iron Wall" Wang Gang, and he became the focus of everyone's attention with his indestructible defense and powerful strength.

However, the most eye-catching person in this competition space is the trial-taker who is walking alone, a magic cultivator wearing magic armor and emitting terrifying demonic energy. His appearance is like a nightmare, making the other trial-taker feel despair.

The Immortal Demon Lord was slaughtering other trial-takers in the competition space. His figure moved through the crowd like a ghost, and every move he made carried the power to destroy the world.

Neither the sharp sword energy of Sword Shadow Zhang Yun nor the fierce blow of Iron Wall Wang Gang's giant hammer could withstand his offensive. He easily defeated the trial-takers one after another, without even leaving them any chance to resist.

The Immortal Demon Lord's purpose is not just to kill the trial-takers, his main purpose is to search for Li Mu. He must find him and eliminate him to completely eliminate this major threat.

However, Li Mu seemed to have disappeared. No matter how the Immortal Demon Lord searched, he could not find his whereabouts. This made the Immortal Demon Lord angry and frustrated. He began to become more crazy and cruel, and increased the intensity of killing other trialists. He even used soul-searching techniques on those trialists, trying to get the trace of Li Mu from the souls of those defeated trialists.

"Fusion Realm Demon Cultivator, retreat quickly!"

Upon discovering the figure of the Immortal Demon Lord, Taoist Huanglong called out to several of his companions, and his figure turned into a stream of light, flying away in another direction.

When the Immortal Demon Lord heard Taoist Huanglong's cry, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and he flashed and instantly appeared in front of Taoist Huanglong. He slapped out with one palm, and the terrifying Immortal Demonic Energy surged towards Taoist Huanglong like a wave.

A trace of determination flashed in Taoist Huanglong's eyes. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a golden light, trying to resist the attack of the Immortal Demon Lord.

However, the power of the Immortal Demon Lord far exceeded Huang Long Daoist's imagination. The golden light was like paper in front of the Immortal Demon Qi and was torn apart in an instant. Huang Long Daoist only had time to let out a scream before he was swallowed by the Immortal Demon Qi.

The next moment, Taoist Huanglong's head was grabbed by the Immortal Demon Lord. Demonic energy surged in, and he used the soul-searching technique without thinking.

"Haha! I found you! Let's see where you can hide this time!"

A hint of pride and ecstasy flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord. His voice echoed in the trial space, filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"Hahaha! Do you think you can escape? No matter where you hide, I will find you and destroy you completely!" The Immortal Demon Lord laughed grimly, his voice echoing in the space, making every trial participant shudder. (End of this chapter)
