Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After listening to Xiao Shuang's narration, Sword Master Feng could not help but nod and praised: "Elder Li is really both wise and brave. Elder Li's proposal not only makes up for the shortcomings of the sword formation, but also increases our flexibility in dealing with strong enemies. If we can combine these sword formations with magic formations and traps, we will be able to exert greater power."

Li Mu waved his hand modestly and said, "Master Feng, you are too kind. I just came up with this idea by chance. To truly implement it, I still need the cooperation of all the sword masters."

"Elder Li, there is no need to be so modest. Next, let's discuss the specific implementation plan!" Sword Master Feng suggested with a smile.

Everyone sat together and discussed how to combine sword formations and magic formations, set traps, and attack the place where the extreme fire was sealed.

After the conversation, Li Mu took the lead and set up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array in the floating port. Then he set out to search for the ownerless top-grade spiritual veins.

“Elder Li, there should be a top-grade spiritual vein on Tianyue Peak. Before, it should have been the main peak of Guyue Sect. However, Guyue Sect has disappeared now, and that spiritual vein is now occupied by a group of green-scaled black snakes.” Fang Yunjian introduced and guided Li Mu.

"Thank you, Deacon Fang." Li Mu thanked him gratefully and asked with concern, "Deacon Fang, can you tell me more about the situation of the blue-scaled black snake?"

"There are hundreds of blue-scaled black snakes, most of which are fourth- and fifth-level in strength. They are located in the spiritual vein cave deep in Tianyue Peak. The black snakes' scales are blue-green and flicker with a faint light. They are swift and extremely poisonous. There is also a sixth-level snake king in the group. It has survived the transformation thunder tribulation and can transform into a human form. Its strength is unfathomable." Fang Yunjian described it to Li Mu in detail, and finally suggested enthusiastically with some concern: "Elder Li, it will be difficult to capture this group of snakes. If you don't mind, I will go with you."

Although Li Mu only has the cultivation level of a spirit being transformed, his historical record of battles is extremely impressive. He has plenty of ways to defeat this group of evil snakes. Fang Yunjian does not dare to underestimate him at all. However, he has a noble status and has made extremely important contributions to the sect. If anything unexpected happens, he cannot take on the responsibility.

This time, Li Mu was going to collect spiritual veins for the Painting World Treasure House, so it was inappropriate for someone to follow him. He declined Fang Yunjian's offer, "Thank you for Deacon Fang's kindness. I can do this alone. Deacon Fang has many responsibilities and is very busy, so I won't bother you. Although the Green Scaled Black Snakes are powerful, I am prepared and I believe I can handle it."

Seeing Li Mu's firm attitude, Fang Yunjian could not persuade him any further. He could only nod and agree, reminding him, "Elder Li, you should be more careful. The Black Snake Demon King is not only powerful, but also extremely cunning. If you encounter danger, you must return in time."

Li Mu nodded. He already had a detailed plan in mind. After saying goodbye to Fang Yunjian, he set out for Tianyue Peak alone.

Li Mu summoned the Earth Element Spirit Ship and drove it across the sky like a flash of lightning, speeding towards the direction of Tianyue Peak.

While speeding, Li Mu couldn't help but recall the past events in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm. He still had some impression of the Ancient Moon Sect. If he remembered correctly, the "True Explanation of Divine Patterns" in his hand was what he got from the Lotus Moon Saint of the Ancient Moon Sect.

And more than a hundred years ago, when he stopped in Yin Yang Valley, he also refined sixth-rank spiritual treasures for several elders of Gu Yue Sect. He had more or less some friendship with several elders and the saint lady of Gu Yue Sect.

However, more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Ancient Moon Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has now disappeared in the long river of history. Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little sad about the ruthlessness of time.

The Diyun Spirit Ship was speeding along at lightning speed. Soon, the vast mountains came into Li Mu's sight. The Tianyue Peak stood tall and majestic, with its peak piercing the sky, as if connected to the sky. The mountains were shrouded in dense spiritual mist, like a dream, giving people a mysterious feeling. Many dilapidated building ruins could be seen on the top of the peak.

As the Earth Element Spirit Ship approached, Li Mu felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards him, emanating from the depths of Tianyue Peak. Obviously, that was the location of the top-grade spiritual vein occupied by the group of green-scaled black snakes.

Li Mu flew up with his sword, put away the Earth Yuan Spirit Ship, and released his spiritual sense to confirm that there was no one else spying within hundreds of miles. At the same time, he also discovered the spiritual vein occupied by the group of green-scaled black snakes. At the top of Tianyue Peak, there was a cave that was one meter high and meandered for dozens of miles, and was filled with green-scaled black snakes.

Li Mu smiled slightly, then took out ten sixth-level combat puppets from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, summoned ten sixth-level spiritual swords, and ordered the puppets to disperse with swords in hand and move towards the depths of the cave.

Each of these sixth-order combat puppets possesses the strength equivalent to that of a human initial-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, and they are tireless and fearless of life and death. They are Li Mu's right-hand men carefully refined for emergencies. Equipped with sixth-order spirit swords and wearing armor, their combat effectiveness has already surpassed that of ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators.

As the battle puppets attacked, the two fifth-order green-scaled black snakes lurking at the entrance of the cave flashed dangerous light in their eyes and immediately attacked them.

However, the strength of the sixth-level combat puppets was far beyond that of the fifth-level blue-scaled black snakes. They were seen moving flexibly among the snakes, dancing with the sixth-level spirit swords in their hands tightly, and each swing of the sword could cause severe damage to the blue-scaled black snakes, and the battle was showing a one-sided trend.

After a dozen breaths, the two fifth-order green-scaled black snakes were chopped into several pieces and fell to the ground, with blood all over the ground.

The group of green-scaled black snakes deep in the cave sensed the death of their companions and roared in anger, rushing out like a tide. However, the ten combat puppets were not afraid at all. They lined up in a row at the entrance of the cave and cooperated tacitly, like a well-trained army, dividing the group of snakes rushing out of the cave and defeating them one by one.

The light in the cave was dim, but with Li Mu's powerful spiritual perception, everything was clearly visible. As the angry roars of the blue-scaled black snakes became louder and louder, the whole cave was boiling.

The fighting puppets were as fast as lightning, moving freely among the snakes. Every swing of the sixth-level spirit sword in their hands carried a sharp sword energy, and they easily cut the green-scaled black snake in half like cutting paper. The snake's blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the entire cave red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Although the number of blue-scaled black snakes was huge, they were so vulnerable in front of the sixth-level combat puppets. They kept trying to break through the puppets' defenses from all directions, but were ruthlessly repelled every time. The puppets worked in harmony, some were responsible for frontal attacks, some were responsible for side containment, and some were responsible for cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net in the rear.

Suddenly, a huge blue-scaled black snake that was almost as big as a mountain rushed out from the group of snakes. It emitted a cold light, and each snake scale seemed to have been polished by years, shining with an indestructible luster. The blue-scaled black snake opened its bloody mouth, revealing its fangs as sharp as knives, and pounced on one of the combat puppets with a strong killing intent.

However, the combat puppet seemed to have known the Snake King's intentions long ago, and reacted as fast as lightning. With a slight shake of its body, it avoided the Snake King's fatal blow like a ghost. At the same time, the other combat puppets also reacted quickly. They were agile and surrounded the Snake King as fast as flowing water. The spirit swords danced in their hands, condensing into sharp sword energy and slashing towards the Snake King.

"Ding ding dang dang..." A series of metal collision sounds echoed in the cave, shaking the entire space and causing a large amount of rubble to fall.

Every time the sixth-level spirit swords in the hands of the ten combat puppets slashed the thick snake scales of the snake king, dazzling golden light would burst out. The snake scales were extremely tough, like an indestructible armor, making it difficult for the puppets' attacks to work. However, the attacks of the ten puppets caused the Black Snake King great pain. It roared to the sky, and the sound waves rolled. It angrily swung its thick tail, sweeping out like a giant whip, with powerful power, trying to sweep away the surrounding combat puppets.

With a few "bangs", several combat puppets were hit hard by the snake king's tail. Like stones hit by a giant hammer, they flew backwards in an instant and hit the cave wall with a dull sound. The entire cave trembled due to the huge impact force, and gravel and dust fell one after another.

The injured puppets stood up quickly. They did not suffer any damage at all. They kicked their feet and bounced up. Together with other combat puppets, they surrounded the Black Snake King and jumped on it. They slashed and stabbed it with their spirit swords, punched and kicked it, and engaged in close combat with it without fear of death.

Seeing himself surrounded, the Black Snake King's eyes flashed with a trace of violence, and he opened his bloody mouth and roared deafeningly, trying to use his voice to scare away these stubborn enemies. However, the combat puppets remained unmoved, with no expression on their faces, only strict execution of orders.

As the Black Snake King roared, the combat puppets leaped up one after another and jumped onto the Snake King. They slashed or stabbed, and the sixth-level spirit swords in their hands cut deep wounds on the Snake King's body, splashing blood. At the same time, they also used their physical advantages to punch and kick the Snake King, constantly consuming the Snake King's physical strength.

The Black Snake King felt unprecedented pressure and twisted his huge body violently, trying to throw off the combat puppets on his body. However, these combat puppets were like a thorn in his flesh, clinging tightly to his body and he could not get rid of them no matter how he twisted.

Soon, blood flowed out of the Black Snake King's wound like a stream, staining the surrounding ground red. Its body gradually turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and the originally cold green scales also lost their luster and looked dull.

The Black Snake King let out a shrill roar, venting its anger and despair. Its eyes turned red and bloodshot, with a trace of determination flashing across them. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of inner elixir, which suddenly drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight towards Li Mu.

The inner elixir emitted a blazing light, like a burning meteor, carrying destructive power. The Black Snake King had already discovered the culprit who manipulated the combat puppet - Li Mu, and caught him off guard and gave him a fatal blow.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu didn't care. When the inner elixir was about to hit him, he flashed, activated the Time and Space Wheel Sutra, and used his magical power - the Instant Space Technique. He disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

The inner elixir lost its target and after a brief pause in the air, it finally smashed into the cave wall with a loud bang, instantly shattering a mountain.

Li Mu's figure emerged quietly, and his spiritual thoughts attached to ten combat puppets, urging them to launch a fierce attack on the Black Snake King.

Ten combat puppets surrounded the Black Snake King. The spirit swords danced as fast as the wind. Sword shadows were numerous and phantoms intertwined. Each sword left deep scars on the Black Snake King's hard scales. The wounds burned like flames, emitting a faint smell of burning.

The Black Snake King suffered severe blows one after another, bleeding profusely, but he still stood stubbornly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes. Anger made him swing his tail, and he tried to sweep away the battle puppets that were besieging him one by one like a storm.

However, these combat puppets are lifeless machines, tireless and insensitive to pain. They cling to the Black Snake King's body like dog-skin plasters, pestering him and making him unable to break free.

Li Mu stood in the air, observing the battle situation, with a sharp murderous intent flashing in his eyes. It was almost time.

Then, Li Mu summoned the seventh-level Taoist sword - Wanjianshan - from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. The sword body burst into brilliant light, like a towering mountain, sharp and majestic.

Li Mu's figure flashed, and he appeared above the head of the Black Snake King like a ghost, holding up the Taoist sword, ready to give it a fatal blow and end the Black Snake King's life.

The Black Snake King sensed Li Mu's approach, and its huge body began to tremble involuntarily. A hint of fear flashed in its eyes. It tried its best to dodge, but Li Mu's speed was so fast that it could not react.

Li Mu suddenly swung the Wanjian Mountain in his hand. The sword light was like a rainbow, cutting through the sky and accurately piercing the forehead of the Black Snake King.

"Swish!" A light sound seemed to tear the space apart, and the Black Snake King let out a shrill scream. The sound was shocking and echoed throughout the battlefield.

The next moment, the huge body of the Black Snake King fell to the ground with a loud bang, and its soul was completely wiped out by the sword in Li Mu's hand. The huge snake body fell heavily to the ground, losing all its vitality, leaving only the cold corpse lying there quietly.

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, and with a sweep of his mind, he put the ten combat puppets into the Jiuzang Lingzhu. Then, he put the huge body of the Black Snake King into the Huajie Treasure House. It was rare to encounter such a high-level demon snake, so he kept it as food.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Mu flew into the air, looked at the Tianyue Peak below, released the Wanjian Mountain in his hand, injected a huge amount of spiritual power, and urged ten thousand swords to come out of the mountain.

Under Li Mu's urging, Wanjian Mountain seemed to come alive. The swords shone with light, and countless sword qi shot up into the sky, like an upside-down Milky Way, dazzling and dazzling. Li Mu stood in the air, and with a thought, Wanjian Mountain roared like a dragon, slashing towards Tianyue Peak.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Tianyue Peak seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, the mountain peak broke, huge rocks rolled down, and smoke and dust rose up. Li Mu did not move, but just watched all this quietly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

As Tianyue Peak broke, a rich spiritual energy gushed out from the fracture. That was the core of the spiritual vein of Tianyue Peak. Li Mu took a deep breath and felt a cool and powerful force surging into his body, as if his whole body was sublimated.

Li Mu stretched out his hand with his palm facing up, and the Painting World Treasure House appeared, revealing its true form. A emerald green Ruyi sword suddenly created a huge black hole, which swallowed up the exit of the top-grade spiritual vein.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred! (End of chapter)
