Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Seeing the blue-eyed golden ape rushing towards him, the sword cultivator did not dare to be careless at all. He drew the long sword from his waist, swung out a sharp sword light, and slashed towards the blue-eyed golden ape.

A golden light flashed in the eyes of the blue-eyed golden ape, and its figure instantly became blurred. It actually cleverly avoided the sword light and at the same time punched out, heading straight for the chest of the sword cultivator.

The sword cultivator reacted very quickly, holding his sword horizontally to block the punch. However, the power of the blue-eyed golden ape was beyond imagination, and he only felt a huge force coming, and his body involuntarily retreated.

"What a powerful force!" The sword cultivator was shocked. He did not expect the power of this ape demon to be so terrifying.

After flying back a hundred feet, the sword cultivator used the Dragon Swimming Body Technique and swung his sword again to attack the blue-eyed golden ape.

This time, the sword cultivator did not hold back and used all his strength to display the Qiankun Sword Technique. Sharp sword beams enveloped the blue-eyed golden ape.

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the blue-eyed golden ape. It felt the pressure from the sword cultivator, but at the same time it also aroused its fighting spirit. It suddenly roared, and its body size suddenly doubled in size, turning into a ten-foot golden ape, and slammed its huge fist towards the sword net.

There was a series of loud "bang" noises, and the sword net was instantly shattered, bombarding the sword cultivator.

The sword cultivator of the God of War was like a swimming dragon, his body erratic and uncertain, avoiding the sharp edge.

"The sword technique of Qiankun, the sword breaks the sky!" The sword cultivator shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand shook violently. A powerful sword energy gushed out from the tip of the sword, turning into a sword light dozens of feet long, piercing straight into the chest of the blue-eyed golden ape.

The blue-eyed golden ape's eyes shone with golden light, and it obviously felt the power of the sword. It clenched its huge fist and rushed towards the sword light.

"Boom!" Two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening sound.

The battle was about to break out, sword energy and fist shadows intertwined, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.

The blue-eyed golden ape displayed amazing fighting talent. Every time it swung its giant fist, it brought with it the force to collapse mountains and split the earth, defeating the enemy with its force.

Although Huashen Sword cultivator had exquisite swordsmanship, he began to feel exhausted when faced with the nearly infinite power of the Green-eyed Golden Ape. Although the spiritual sword was sharp, it could only leave shallow scratches on the Green-eyed Golden Ape's skin, which was as hard as iron and stone.

Time passed minute by minute, and the man and the beast displayed their full strength. In this fierce battle, the blue-eyed golden ape gradually gained the upper hand. Its power seemed endless, and every attack was as fierce as a storm, making it difficult for the sword cultivator to cope with it.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, the sword cultivator was hit by a punch from the blue-eyed golden ape, and flew backwards, and his figure immediately disappeared in the sword tower space.

"Roar!" The blue-eyed golden ape roared towards the sky, the sound shaking all around, filled with the joy and pride of victory. This battle made it extremely refreshed, yet somewhat unsatisfied.

Li Mu smiled slightly, his figure flashed, and he started to challenge the next competitor with the blue-eyed golden ape.

Soon, the news that Li Mu brought a beast to the Sword Tower spread in the Xuantian Sword Sect. In order to obtain his quota for refining equipment, countless disciples were eager to try and went to the Sword Tower space to challenge his beast.

In the sword tower space, the blue-eyed golden ape engaged in fierce battles with the elite disciples and true disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect.

One challenger after another was defeated, their eyes filled with admiration and unwillingness. The strength of the Green-Eyed Golden Ape was far beyond their imagination. However, there were also real strong ones among the challengers. They had superb swordsmanship or superb magic. Every challenge brought considerable pressure to the Green-Eyed Golden Ape. During this period, the Green-Eyed Golden Ape had wins and losses.

If the blue-eyed golden ape wins, it will continue to climb the tower. If it fails, Li Mu will take it and start over again and continue to challenge the tower.

Seeing that Li Mu promised to give out more than a dozen weapon refining quotas because of him, the blue-eyed golden ape felt ashamed, knowing that his master had paid a huge price for his growth. In order not to disappoint Li Mu again, the blue-eyed golden ape would carefully reflect after each battle and look for his own shortcomings.

After repeated failures and reflections, the blue-eyed golden ape gradually became calmer. There was no longer only the wildness and ferocity in his eyes as in battle, but more calmness and wisdom. His movements became more agile, his strength became more restrained, and every attack he made was just right, making it impossible to defend against him.

As the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's combat capabilities improved, its performance in the Sword Tower space became more and more outstanding. It began to be able to easily deal with those Sword Tower Champions who once brought it tremendous pressure, and could even take the initiative to attack and force its opponents into desperate situations.

Li Mu appeared on the 63rd floor of the sword tower with the blue-eyed golden ape. Opposite him was a virtual sword cultivator. He was floating quietly on the stage with deep and sharp eyes. He was wearing a green shirt and a long sword across his chest. His whole body exuded an indescribable sword intent.

Seeing Li Mu and the Blue-eyed Golden Ape coming, he nodded slightly to greet them: "Chen Xuanzi, I'm honored to meet Elder Li. It's a great honor to fight with your beast today."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, just go for it. If you win this battle and prepare all the spiritual materials for refining weapons, just come to find me in the Qixuan Sect." Li Mu smiled and gestured.

The blue-eyed golden ape growled, with a fighting light flashing in its eyes. It was eager to try, and flew into the ring, ready to start a fierce battle with Chen Xuanzi.

The battle was about to break out. Chen Xuanzi moved, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed, turning into a sharp sword light, heading straight for the blue-eyed golden ape.

With a loud "bang", the blue-eyed golden ape was agile, holding a golden stick, and resisted Chen Xuanzi's sword and fought with him in close combat.

However, Chen Xuanzi's swordsmanship was so exquisite that every sword seemed to be able to predict the movements of the Green-Eyed Golden Ape. No matter how the Green-Eyed Golden Ape attacked, it could not avoid Chen Xuanzi's magic sword...

About half an hour passed.

Li Mu appeared out of thin air under the sword tower with a frustrated blue-eyed golden ape.

"Master, I'm sorry, I failed again." The blue-eyed golden ape lowered its head, its golden hair seemed to have lost its former luster, and its eyes were full of self-blame and unwillingness. Although it tried its best, it still seemed powerless in front of Chen Xuanzi's unfathomable swordsmanship.

Li Mu gently stroked the head of the blue-eyed golden ape, his tone firm and gentle: "Xiao Jin, you don't need to apologize. In today's battle, you have done very well. I can see your growth and potential. Chen Xuanzi's swordsmanship is exquisite and it is not a one-day achievement. It is not shameful for you to lose to him."

The blue-eyed golden ape raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Master, I know I still have a lot of shortcomings, but please believe me, I will continue to work hard, become stronger, and never let you down again."

Li Mu nodded and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "I have never been disappointed in you. I have seen your growth and progress. Failure is not terrible. The important thing is to learn lessons from failure and constantly improve yourself." "Master!" The blue-eyed golden ape looked at Li Mu with gratitude.

"It's almost done. There's no need to challenge the Sword Tower anymore. Let's move on to the next trial!" Li Mu smiled and gestured.

"?" The blue-eyed golden ape was a little confused, but still nodded obediently and followed Li Mu.

The two men and one beast left the sword tower and flew towards the direction of the Qixuan Sect.

Soon after, they returned to the Qixuan Sect. Li Mu took the blue-eyed golden ape into the retreat room and entered the Painting World Treasure House.

In the painting world's treasure house, Xue'er had been waiting for a long time. She was wearing an elegant white dress, like a blooming white lotus. She smiled and greeted, "Brother Li, Xiao Jin, you are here!"

"Xue'er, we can start now!" Li Mu smiled slightly and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Xue'er nodded slightly, stretched out her hand and waved it gently. A gentle spiritual power surged out from her palm, releasing an ancient spiritual weapon. It looked like an ancient bronze mirror, with intricate spiritual patterns and designs engraved on the mirror surface, which contained endless mysteries.

When Xue'er activated her spiritual power, the spiritual mirror slowly floated in the air, emitting a faint light, covering a large area of ​​spiritual land in a hazy light and shadow.

As the spiritual realm was activated, the surrounding space became distorted and changed, as if being pulled by a mysterious force, forming independent illusion spaces. Some were like barren deserts, some were like dense forests, and some were like the deep seabed. Each one was full of unknown dangers.

“What is this…?” The blue-eyed golden ape looked at Li Mu and Xue’er in confusion.

"This is a magic array device refined by Brother Li, called the 'Fantasy Sky Mirror'. It is an extremely rare magic array device that can create a myriad of illusions. You have to be careful, I will not show mercy." Xue'er smiled at the blue-eyed golden ape, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Hearing this, the blue-eyed golden ape widened its eyes, and a hint of fear flashed in its golden pupils.

Xue'er has the blood of the nine-tailed celestial fox and is good at charm and illusion. She has been with her for more than two hundred years and has been teased by her many times. Now, coupled with the magic weapon refined by her master, isn't this going to kill her!
"Master! Is this trial necessary? Let's continue to challenge the Sword Tower! I will never fail again." The blue-eyed golden ape turned to look at Li Mu, his eyes full of pleading, and said pitifully.

"No, the true spirit thunder tribulation is no trivial matter. It is especially a test of one's character. You must go through the trial of the illusion array to improve your willpower and ability to deal with various mental conditions. Only after experiencing various difficulties in this array can you calmly deal with the true spirit thunder tribulation." Li Mu interrupted the blue-eyed golden ape and said in a firm tone that left no room for doubt.

As he spoke, Li Mu waved his hand, took out a pill bottle from the Nine Treasures Spiritual Pearl, handed it to the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, and said, "This is the Enlightenment Pill I made for you. With this formation, you will gain a deeper understanding and growth. Remember, although the trial here is difficult, every tempering and breakthrough means that you are one step closer to successfully surviving the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation."

Knowing that Li Mu was thinking about it, the blue-eyed golden ape took the bottle of pills, a determined light flashed in his eyes, he poured out the enlightenment pill and swallowed it, then stepped decisively into the illusion array.

Xue'er clasped her hands together and cast a spell to control the 'Illusionary Sky Mirror', dragging the blue-eyed golden ape into the illusion to train her mind.

At this moment, Xue'er stood in front of the Fantasy Sky Mirror, her posture upright, like a plum blossom proudly standing in the snow. Her eyes were closed, her face was calm and focused, a transcendent temperament was revealed between her brows, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the casting action was accompanied by a faint flash of spiritual light. Countless spiritual lights jumped between her fingers like elves, gathering into a powerful spiritual power, which was injected into the Fantasy Sky Mirror.

Xue'er gently chanted complex and magical spells, her voice was melodious and ethereal, leading the soul into another mysterious world.

The blood of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox quietly awakened in her body. Xue'er's aura instantly became deep and mysterious, and a faint glow emanated from her body, revealing endless charm and power.

As the Nine-tailed Fox bloodline was stimulated, Xue'er's face became even more beautiful and charming. Her long hair moved like a waterfall without wind, sparkling with silver luster, gently fluttering with her movements, and exuding a charming fragrance.

At this moment, Cher seemed to have become another person, her beauty and charm were irresistible.

Li Mu, standing aside, was also deeply attracted by her beauty. He stared at Xue'er with eyes full of admiration, but also a hint of crisis.

Xiao Jin is facing the threat of the true spirit thunder tribulation, and so is Xue'er. It won't be long before she will have to prepare to survive the true spirit thunder tribulation. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. This experience in the illusion is a test of Xiao Jin's character, and also a test for Xue'er. He hopes she can gain something from it.

Fortunately, I have refined more Enlightenment Pills, hoping that they can help Xueer successfully overcome the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

Xue'er did not notice Li Mu's gaze. She was concentrating on operating the Fantasy Sky Mirror, creating one illusion after another for the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's trial in the illusion array has lasted for three years.

Finally, one morning, the light of the Fantasy Sky Mirror gradually dissipated, and the figure of the blue-eyed golden ape reappeared in front of Li Mu and Xue'er.

At this moment, the blue-eyed golden ape is no longer the willful and capricious demon king of the past. It has a burly and majestic figure, and its golden hair sparkles brightly in the morning light, like a golden sculpture.

His eyes were deep and bright, and his golden pupils revealed a kind of vicissitude and calmness. After experiencing countless illusions, he had experienced the transformation and sublimation of his soul. Every illusion trial was like a sharp knife, leaving a deep mark on his soul, making him tougher and stronger.

The aura of the blue-eyed golden ape became steady and restrained, no longer as impetuous and ostentatious as before. It stood there, as solid as a mountain, exuding an invisible sense of oppression that made people dare not underestimate it.

There was a faint lively golden light emanating from its body, which was a manifestation of its deep enlightenment of the Way of Gold and Yuan. After experiencing the baptism of the illusion array and the tempering of the enlightenment pill, the gold and Yuan magic power in its body was greatly enhanced, becoming purer and more powerful.

The back mountain of the Qixuan Sect, the Tribulation Platform.

Dark clouds began to gather in the sky and thunder rumbled, as if foreshadowing that the coming thunderstorm would be extremely fierce.

The blue-eyed golden ape stood on the tribulation platform without any fear. It looked up at the sky with a challenging light flashing in its eyes.

Around the Tribulation Platform, Li Mu, Xue'er, and the elders of the Seven Mysterious Sect came to watch the ceremony, witnessing an important moment in the life of the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, a key step in its cultivation path. (End of this chapter)
