Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After experiencing a thrilling thunder tribulation, the calamity clouds above the sky gradually became powerless, and no more thunder fell. The calamity clouds that were originally densely covered and rolling with purple-black lightning were now pulled by an invisible force and gradually became thin and transparent. The purple-black light gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a soft blue, just like the dawn, heralding the arrival of a new life.

As the calamity clouds dissipated, the true spirit thunder calamity descended upon the heavenly spiritual dew, and the spiritual light was like stars falling on the earth, containing the essence of heaven and earth and the mysteries of the laws. These spiritual lights gathered into a stream, slowly descending towards Xiaobai who was devastated by the calamity thunder, and a little bit of it spread out in the surroundings and merged into the world, bringing unprecedented spiritual energy and vitality to this area.

"It's passed. The sect leader's insect has successfully passed the true spirit thunder tribulation!" Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and congratulated him sincerely.

“Yes! For Xiaobai, the sect master has spared no expense!” Qin Wentong looked at Li Mu, his eyes flashing with high respect for him, and then he said with emotion: “The true spirit thunder tribulation has always been a huge threshold on the road of cultivation, and only a few can succeed. Xiaobai himself has excellent qualifications, and with the full support of the sect master, it is really rare for him to have achieved what he has today!”

The process of Xiaobai's transcendence of the true spirit thunder tribulation, the various spiritual treasures and Taoist instruments he sacrificed, and even the Nine Nether Kun Whale at the end, must have been the magnanimous work of Li Mu. Otherwise, Xiaobai would probably not be able to withstand the destructive power of the thunder.

"Seventh-level true spirit! Moreover, it is a spiritual insect that has achieved enlightenment. Xiaobai's future achievements are limitless!" Zhong Zilin said with emotion.

The other elders of the Qixuan Sect nodded repeatedly, looking at Xiaobai who was recovering quickly while immersed in the Taoist spiritual dew, and they were sincerely envious. With a master like Li Mu, the chances of achieving enlightenment would be greatly increased, which was simply the blessing that cultivators dreamed of.

In response to the elders' praise, Li Mu smiled without saying a word, his eyes always fixed on Xiaobai, an expression of joy that he could not conceal on his face.

Innate magical power - Under the recognition of all spirits, Xiaobai's status and attributes are clearly presented in his eyes.

It is good at performing more advanced phantom soul-like skills, living with souls and fighting with souls. ]

After seeing Xiaobai's attribute information at this moment, Li Mu's heart was filled with indescribable joy and pride. Xiaobai's transformation was not only a leap in its individual strength, but also a perfect display of his years of hard work and expectations.

With Xiaobai as his powerful trump card, Li Mu will be fearless in the future, whether facing powerful monsters, cunning enemies, or even those high-ranking cultivators, because Xiaobai's existence gives him the capital to fight against them.

Just as Li Mu was immersed in his infinite vision of the future, a brilliant light suddenly burst out from Xiaobai's body. It was a sign that the Heavenly Spirit Dew had been completely absorbed and the power had been completely integrated.

As the light gradually faded, a delicate and small person the size of a palm appeared in front of everyone, with a pair of gauze-like wings on his back, and his eyes sparkling with wisdom and agility. This was exactly what Xiaobai looked like after his transformation.

At this moment, the entire Qixuan Sect was shocked, and the elders marveled at this incredible scene. They had never seen such a pure and powerful spirit incarnation. Xiaobai's transformation was not only a change in form, but also a manifestation of the perfect fusion of his soul with the laws of heaven and earth. Its strength and potential made a qualitative leap at this moment.

Li Mu looked at the exquisite and lovely Xiaobai in front of him, the joy and pride in his heart almost overflowing from his chest. He gently stretched out his hand, Xiaobai spread his wings, and landed lightly in his palm. Xiaobai looked directly at Li Mu with his eyes, and there was no need for words between the two, he could feel the deep tacit understanding and emotion.

"Xiaobai, you finally transformed." Li Mu looked at Xiaobai in surprise and was very happy.

"Wow, Xiaobai, so you are a girl!" Xueer shouted happily. She has always been curious and fond of Xiaobai. At this moment, she was even more excited to see Xiaobai transformed into such a delicate little girl.

Hearing this, Xiao Bai's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't seem to expect that her gender would be directly revealed by Xue'er. Her eyes, which were shining with wisdom, were now a little more shy and coy, and she threw herself into Li Mu's arms.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help laughing, and quickly comforted him softly: "Don't be shy, Xiaobai, whether you are a man or a woman, you are my best friend."

Xiaobai raised her head and looked at Li Mu with her spiritual eyes, as if she could understand everything in his heart. She nodded gently, and her wings flapped at a high frequency, turning into a stream of light, surrounding Li Mu's body, as if expressing her gratitude and loyalty to Li Mu in her own way.

"Xiaobai, come to me!"

Xue'er couldn't help but greet her. Xiaobai looked so adorable now, like a petite porcelain doll, delicate and small, beautiful and charming, exuding a different kind of charm that made Xue'er couldn't help but want to get closer to her.

Hearing this, Xiaobai paused slightly, then turned into a breeze and floated gracefully towards Xueer. She gently landed on Xueer's outstretched palm, and her two little hands gently grasped Xueer's fingers, with curiosity and friendliness flashing in her eyes.

"Xiaobai, your transformed form is so cute and beautiful!"

Xue'er's eyes were full of amazement and admiration. She cupped her hands together and handled it very carefully, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world and did not dare to use any force.

"Thank you, Xueer, I like you too! Hehehe!" Xiaobai suddenly responded. Her voice was like that of a little girl, clear and pleasant, smart and powerful.

Xue'er excitedly touched Xiaobai's petite body. The interaction between the two (a fox and an elf) was warm and full of childlike fun.

The elders of the seven sects looked at this scene, all with pleased smiles on their faces, unable to bear to disturb them.

"Everyone, please keep the matter of Xiaobai confidential." Li Mu suddenly spoke with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Li Mu's eyes swept across the elders present, and each of them felt the weight of his words.

Hearing this, the elders all restrained their smiles and their faces became solemn. Qin Wentong, Fang Shixin, Ge Xinyu and the others looked at each other, knowing that Xiaobai's successful survival of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation was no trivial matter. Once word of this got out, it would likely bring about unnecessary trouble, or even the covetousness of powerful enemies.

"Master, we know the seriousness of this matter. We must keep it strictly confidential and not let any news leak out." Qin Wentong responded solemnly. Fang Shixin also nodded and added: "Xiaobai's successful survival of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation not only means a leap in her personal strength, but also a great foundation of our Qixuan Sect. We will keep this secret strictly."

All the elders nodded in unison, their faces serious, and they were just about to swear the Heavenly Oath on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Mu felt relieved. He raised his hand gently, signaling that everyone should not be too nervous, and his tone softened a bit: "My elders, I have always been trustworthy, but at this moment, I still need to trouble you with something. There are many disciples in the sect, and it is inevitable that the news will leak out. I can understand the shock and curiosity in the hearts of those disciples who witnessed the tribulation. Therefore, I hope that the elders can personally go to each peak to comfort the disciples and emphasize the importance of confidentiality."

Upon hearing this, all the elders accepted the order, said goodbye to Li Mu one after another, and returned to the Seven Gods Peak to warn the disciples of their lineage.

After watching the elders leave, Li Mu's eyes fell on Xue'er who was playing with Xiaobai.

Xiaobai successfully survived the true spirit thunder tribulation, and Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xue'er was not far from the true spirit thunder tribulation either. The fluctuations of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox's blood in her body became increasingly intense, as if it could trigger a resonance between heaven and earth at any time.

As a descendant of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Xueer's true spirit thunder tribulation will be more dangerous than that of ordinary monsters. It will not only test Xueer's cultivation and will, but also be an ultimate tempering of her bloodline power.

Li Mu did not dare to slack off at all. He needed to plan ahead and make thorough preparations for Xueer to survive the tribulation.

"Xue'er, stop playing! Let's go back!" Li Mu interrupted Xue'er and Xiaobai's play and gestured.

Hearing this, Xue'er looked up at Li Mu, a strange color flashed in her fox eyes. She was sensitive to emotions and immediately felt Li Mu's mood at the moment. She quickly became obedient, walked silently to Li Mu's side and took his hand.

It is certainly a cause for celebration that Xiaobai successfully survived the true spirit thunder tribulation. However, Li Mu's whole body is now on her, and he is afraid that she will not be able to survive the true spirit thunder tribulation. His own safety has become his biggest concern, which makes Xue'er happy and a little sad.

Xiaobai seemed to have sensed the emotions of the two men. It flew to the Kun whale clone and folded it up. Then, it spread its wings, landed on Li Mu's shoulder, sat down slowly, and put its little head against Li Mu's cheek affectionately.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and his mood improved a little. With a flash of his figure, he used the Five Elements Escape Technique to take Xue'er and Xiaobai away from the back mountain.

Next, Li Mu began to prepare for Xue'er to overcome the true spirit thunder tribulation. Xue'er also devoted herself to cultivation. She longed to be with Li Mu forever and did not want to become a burden to him because of her weakness. She devoted herself to cultivation, condensing the power of her blood, absorbing pure spiritual energy, and strengthening her body and soul.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed. During this period, Xue'er's growth and transformation are remarkable. Not only has she successfully condensed the power of the Nine-tailed Fox's bloodline to the extreme, she has also made great progress in her cultivation, and her strength is no longer what it used to be.

Li Mu did not waste any time. He not only followed Xiaobai's method of overcoming the true spirit thunder tribulation, but also prepared a complete set of spiritual treasures and Taoist tools for Xueer to overcome the tribulation. On this basis, he also added a lot of backup plans.

Just when Li Mu thought that the days could continue in such peace, a sudden sword light cut through the sky, accompanied by a clear sword sound, and landed in front of the main hall of the Seven Profound Sect's sect master's mansion. When the sword light dissipated, a middle-aged man in a green shirt with a long sword on his back was revealed. It was the long-lost Master Feng Jian.

Not long after, Li Mu heard the news and hurriedly left the refining room and rushed to greet him in person.

Master Feng's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on Li Mu. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly walked towards him.

"Li Mu, I haven't seen you for many years. Your cultivation has improved a lot." There was some praise in Master Feng's voice, but more of it was solemn.

"Greetings, Sword Master! Thank you for your praise." Li Mu bowed slightly to show his respect and responded with a humble smile.

Master Feng Jian came to visit at this time, and he must have something important to discuss. Li Mu quickly led Master Feng Jian into the hall.

"Sword Master, I wonder what important matter has brought you here this time?" After Sword Master Feng landed, Li Mu went straight to the point and asked.

Sword Master Feng nodded slightly, looked at Li Mu and introduced in a deep voice: "Elder Li, I have come here to entrust you with an important mission. Recently, although the dispute between my Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect has been settled, the dormant forces in the Nine Netherworld seem to be surging undercurrents and ready to move. The Nine Netherworld is an out-of-region area permanently shrouded by the Netherworld, with no information and dangers everywhere, which poses a considerable threat to our sect."

After a short pause, Feng Jianzhu's tone revealed an unquestionable determination, and he continued, "In order to consolidate our sect's position and deter the outside world, our sect has decided to build a solid base at the edge of the Nine Netherworlds and secretly arrange an ancient teleportation array. Once this array is built, it will be able to mobilize the sect's elite in an instant, whether it is responding to emergencies or taking the initiative to attack, we will have the upper hand."

"Arranging the ancient teleportation array is what Elder Li is good at, so I'd like to trouble Elder Li to accompany me to the outer realm of Jiuyou." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and finally explained the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Li Mu's eyes, but he immediately regained his composure. Although he had been living in seclusion in the Qixuan Sect over the years and had never left, he had heard about the changing circumstances inside and outside the Xuantian Sword Sect. Although the Xuantian Sword Sect had the upper hand in the recent confrontation with the Taiyi Sect, the threat from extraterritorial forces had never been truly eliminated. Instead, it had become even more complicated and changeable because the two Dao Lords were trapped in the Jiuyou Secret Realm.

But the thirteen sword elders, each equipped with a Taoist weapon, and several sword masters have greatly increased their strength, allowing the Xuantian Sword Sect to gain the upper hand in the recent contest with the Taiyi Sect. However, the fruits of victory did not make the sect relax, because there are still many outside forces eyeing them.

The reason why Li Mu was able to spend several years in the Qixuan Sect without any trouble was because of the protection of the Xuantian Sword Sect. Naturally, he would not refuse what Master Feng asked for, and there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Master Sword Master has a far-sighted vision. Li Mu will do his best to lend a helping hand to the sect." Li Mu said in a firm tone without any hesitation.

"But," Li Mu changed the subject and suggested with difficulty, "The road outside the domain is extremely dangerous and requires detailed planning and sufficient preparation. Could you please allow me two days to make thorough arrangements, Master Sword Master?"

Hearing this, Master Feng raised a satisfied smile, and naturally had no objection: "Elder Li is right. This matter is of great importance and requires careful preparation. You can rest assured to prepare. The whole sect will fully cooperate with you whether it is resource allocation, manpower recruitment, or any other needs."

Li Mu bowed again and said gratefully: "Thank you for your sympathy, Master Sword. Li Mu will definitely live up to your expectations. Everything will be ready within two days."

Sword Master Feng smiled and waved his hand gently, indicating that Li Mu could step back and make arrangements.

Li Mu turned and left the hall, clean and tidy. (End of this chapter)
