Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

In the vast starry universe, after two days and several years of flying, the Jiuyou Kun Whale finally arrived at a dark planet.

Li Mu appeared on the forehead of the Jiuyou Kun Whale. His eyes were as sharp as torches. His powerful spirit penetrated the thick darkness and scanned the dark planet that seemed silent but concealed mysteries.

The surface of the planet is covered with intricate gullies and unknown rock structures. Occasionally, a faint light flickers in the cracks. There are a few remains of buildings built with huge stones on it. However, as if they have suffered from the ruthless erosion of time, most of these building ruins are dilapidated, with only broken walls and ruins left, standing alone on the desolate land, telling of the glory and vicissitudes of the past.

What surprised Li Mu was that the planet was filled with an extremely strong evil aura, which was like a tangible black fog, entwining the ravines and even seeping into the broken ruins, making the entire planet shrouded in a depressing and weird atmosphere.

As if having experienced a great war, many places on the Dark Spirit Star showed signs of a catastrophe. The evil aura not only contained the breath of destruction and death, but also contained a certain power of Tao. They were mixed and intertwined together, forming a unique ecological balance, which made people feel fearful and aroused endless reverie.

"Master, is this the Dark Spirit Star? It seems there are no living creatures on it!"

Xiaobai spread his wings and flew in front of Li Mu, looked at the planet in front of him curiously, and asked for confirmation.

Xiaobai, who successfully survived the true spirit thunder tribulation, is extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of soul power of living beings by virtue of his unique ability as a seventh-level Gu spirit. However, at this moment, he did not feel any signs of life on this dead planet.

"probably!"

Li Mu frowned, hesitating whether to find Qing Yangzi to confirm. It took him decades to finally find the location of the Dark Spirit Star.

However, what came into view was a desolate planet, and this planet was filled with an indissoluble evil aura, which made Li Mu feel a little doubtful, wondering if he had chosen the wrong target.

The Dark Spirit Star is located at the core of an important shipping route in the entire star field. It should be a prosperous planet with other cultivators. However, the scene before him is far from what Li Mu wants to see. There is only endless desolation and evil aura. The remains of buildings scattered on the planet are signs of thousands of years of desolation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu no longer hesitated. He took out the Soul Realm Pearl from the storage compartment and invested a trace of divine consciousness to summon the residual soul of Qingyangzi that was sleeping in the Soul Realm Pearl.

Qing Yangzi's residual soul was gently awakened in the Soul Realm Pearl by Li Mu's call, and a trace of spiritual power overflowed.

"My friend, why did you wake me up?" Qingyangzi asked Li Mu via telepathy.

"Senior, I have arrived at the Dark Spirit Star. However, this star does not seem to be what you said before. There are foreign forces on it." Li Mu hurriedly replied.

"Oh!"

Qing Yangzi released his divine sense to check the scene outside the Soul Realm Pearl.

Because of the evil power all around, Qingyangzi's remaining soul emerged directly from the Soul Realm Pearl. His powerful soul consciousness swept across the desolate and gloomy Dark Spirit Star in front of him, and a complex look flashed across his face.

"Comparing with the star positions, this star is indeed the Dark Spirit Star. Great changes have taken place in the world. I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, the Dark Spirit Star would become like this." Qingyangzi looked at Li Mu and responded, his tone containing both surprise and emotion.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was the Dark Spirit Star. Finally, he didn't have to float around in the vast sea of ​​stars. Finding the location of the Dark Spirit Star meant that he had successfully located the route back to the Qi Ling Star. It wouldn't be long before he could return to the sect.

"My friend, don't be happy too soon. Although it has been confirmed that this is the Dark Spirit Star, it has been deserted, as if it had been destroyed by a great war. However, the journey back to the Qi Ling Star is long, and the road may not be peaceful." Qing Yangzi's words were like a basin of cold water, making Li Mu's just relaxed mood become tense.

"Senior, I wonder how long it will take to return to Qiling Star from this star, and what dangers may arise along the way!"

Li Mu's heart perked up and he asked with concern.

Qing Yangzi pondered for a moment, and responded solemnly: "To return to Qi Ling Star from this star, even if the path is clear, we still need to cross several star regions and sail for decades or nearly a hundred years. The specific time depends on whether we can find a safe route and sufficient supplies. The dangers we may encounter along the way are far more complex and changeable than we imagined."

"First, there are often interstellar storms and space cracks between star regions. These natural phenomena are enough to destroy ordinary high-level spirit ships. Even a combined cultivator like me may be caught in them if he is not careful, and his life or death is unpredictable. Therefore, we must always pay attention to changes in the stars and avoid these dangerous areas."

"Secondly, this star region was once the focus of contention among various forces. Although many forces have disappeared over the years, it is still possible that there are cultivators from outside the region occupying the main routes. In addition, there are also groups of star beasts, etc., which may become huge obstacles on the way back."

……

At this point, Qing Yangzi looked at the two Nine Nether Kun Whales that were swimming quietly, and couldn't help but praise them: "However, the quality of your mounts is good. Two eighth-level Nine Nether Kun Whales have great advantages in sailing across star fields. Their speed is enough to shuttle freely between star fields and avoid many unnecessary troubles. The Nine Nether Kun Whales are not only powerful and can withstand a certain degree of impact from interstellar storms and space cracks, but also have keen intuition and can sense potential threats and give early warnings. Such mounts are undoubtedly extremely valuable in sailing across star fields."

Hearing this, Li Mu's face lit up with joy and he felt proud. The existence of these two Nine Nether Kun Whales really played a lot of roles and saved him a lot of trouble during this voyage. Especially after he sealed the other Nine Nether Kun Whale, he let the two of them travel together, which doubled their strength and drove away many groups of star beasts.

Next, Qingyangzi explained to Li Mu in detail the route to Qiling Star.

Just as Li Mu was listening carefully and remembering Qing Yangzi's explanation, there was a sudden violent vibration from underground of Dark Spirit Star. Then, an unprecedented powerful Yin Sha force gushed out. The Yin Sha energy was thick and cold, and instantly permeated the entire surface of the planet.

Li Mu and Qing Yangzi's faces changed drastically at the same time. They immediately realized the unusualness of this evil power.

Qing Yangzi quickly retracted the remaining soul into the Soul Realm Pearl to prevent it from being eroded by this power, while Li Mu quickly moved the Jiuyou Kun Whale away from the Dark Spirit Star to prepare for possible dangers.

Li Mu's powerful spiritual sense instantly covered the entire Dark Spirit Star, trying to penetrate the thick layer of Yin Sha energy and explore the source of the vibration. However, the Yin Sha power seemed to have life, madly devouring and distorting his spiritual sense, making Li Mu's exploration extremely difficult.

At this moment, a low and ancient voice, as if coming from beneath the Nine Netherworld, penetrated the barrier of evil spirit and directly counterattacked Li Mu's divine sense: "You are so brave, young man, you dare to disturb my meditation, leave your life!" Li Mu's heart trembled, as if he had accidentally angered a powerful combined body hiding in the Dark Spirit Star. He quickly retracted his divine sense and at the same time drove the Nine Netherworld Kun Whale to accelerate, intending to stay away from this dangerous place.

However, that evil force did not seem to intend to let him go easily. It condensed into a giant hand in the air and grabbed Li Mu and Jiuyou Kun Whale directly.

"Senior, please calm down. I have no ill intentions. I just came here by mistake. I will leave immediately!" Li Mu responded through telepathy. At the same time, he waved his hand and a talisman flew out from his body.

In an instant, the talisman as the core turned into a five-colored vortex, condensing the thin spiritual power existing in the starry sky, turning into a five-element light shield, emitting colorful light, and collided with the giant hand condensed by the evil spirit.
With a loud "boom", a dazzling light swept across the entire Dark Spirit Star. The scene was extremely grand and spectacular.

In the Soul Realm Pearl, Qing Yangzi was watching the situation outside. When he saw this scene, he was completely stunned.

Qing Yangzi was trembling, with indescribable shock and curiosity in his heart. He muttered to himself, "This boy actually has such a heaven-defying talisman on him. Could it be an ancient relic? Or was it made by some great man himself, specifically for resisting evil spirits?"

With the violent collision between the Five Elements Light Shield and the Yin Sha Giant Hand, the entire Dark Spirit Star seemed to be trembling and the space was distorted.

However, surprisingly, the seemingly fragile Five Elements Light Shield showed amazing resilience and strength at the critical moment, and forcibly blocked the Yin Sha giant hand and did not allow it to advance even an inch.

"Hmph, you think you can stop me with just a talisman?" The low and ancient voice sounded again, carrying with it a bit of anger and unwillingness. But this time, there was a hint of solemnity in the voice of the fusion cultivator. He did not rush to take action, and it was obvious that he was afraid of Li Mu's methods.

"Senior, I have no intention of disturbing you. How about you please let me leave now? I swear on the Tao that I will never reveal to the outside world that you are practicing in seclusion here." Li Mu lowered his posture and his tone was full of sincerity. Don't provoke an unknown powerful existence.

The Dark Spirit Star has become so desolate, filled with deathly aura and evil forces. It is obviously the work of this combined demon cultivator. I don't know what evil magic he is practicing here, but he must have ulterior motives. However, Li Mu just wants to return to the Qi Ling Star smoothly and does not want to be involved in this dispute that has nothing to do with him.

After saying that, Li Mu summoned the talisman and drove the two Nine Nether Kun whales to quickly escape from this dangerous place.

The two Nine Nether Kun Whales seemed to sense their master's urgency and swung their huge bodies in tacit understanding, drawing brilliant tracks in the starry sky at a speed so fast that it was difficult to find their traces.

However, the opponent obviously would not let Li Mu get his wish. A group of dragon corpses suddenly rushed out from the Dark Spirit Star, surrounded Li Mu and the Nine Nether Kun Whale at lightning speed, and started chasing and fighting with them.

The speed of the two Nine Nether Kun Whales dropped suddenly. The corpses of the real dragons were wrapped in thick evil aura, and their eyes flashed with dark green light, as if they were terrifying creatures awakened from the ancient abyss. Although they were dead, driven by some evil force, they retained the powerful power they had in life, even more so, and were unafraid of death. They could not be shaken off at all.

Not long after, a middle-aged monk in black imperial robes came slowly from the shadow of the Dark Spirit Star riding a huge dragon corpse. His face was stern, and his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty and coldness.

With the appearance of the demon cultivator in the imperial costume, the surrounding space seemed to freeze for a moment, and those ferocious dragon corpses became more violent after his appearance, but they surrounded the two Nine Nether Kun whales in a more orderly manner, like a group of hounds surrounding their prey, waiting for their master to hunt them.

"Hmph, you are just a Void Refining cultivator, you trespassed into my territory and you want to leave without leaving anything behind?" The Fusion Demon Cultivator stared at Li Mu with contempt, as if he was looking at an ant.

"Ye Huang-Emperor Tianxing?"

With the appearance of the combined demon cultivator, the remnant soul of Qingyangzi in the Soul Realm Pearl emitted a violent spiritual fluctuation, and transmitted a message to Li Mu with unbelievable shock.

"Ok?"

Emperor Tianxing's eyes narrowed as he stared at the Soul Realm Orb floating in front of Li Mu. He sensed the fluctuations in Qing Yangzi's mind and ordered Li Mu, "Interesting, you actually know my origins. Boy, throw that Soul Stone over here, and I can spare your life."

Qingyangzi was a powerful being in the state of fusion, a saintly alchemist, and after his death, his residual soul had been sleeping in the Soul Realm Pearl for ten thousand years. Li Mu was able to recognize the other party at a glance. At this time, how could he not know that the other party was an old monster who had been famous ten thousand years ago.

"Senior, I have no intention of offending you. This item should not be handed over to others easily. Besides, I have no grudge against you. I just came here by mistake. I hope you can show mercy and let me go." Li Mu declined politely and said sincerely.

"Very good, no one has dared to disobey me for many years, go to hell!"

Di Tianxing sneered, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Mu's rejection. He waved his hand lightly, and the evil energy around him instantly rioted, turning into countless black chains, which entangled towards Li Mu as if they had life, and arrived in an instant.

Faced with this sudden attack, Li Mu's expression changed slightly, but he was not panicked. With a wave of his hand, nine seventh-level combat puppets appeared. They held a spiritual sword in their hands and were surrounded by a faint halo of spiritual power. They were obviously the products of careful refining and strengthening.

As soon as the nine seventh-level combat puppets appeared, they immediately flew up according to Li Mu's wishes. They dispersed and each occupied a favorable position, forming a solid line of defense.

"Nine-star sword formation, start!" Li Mu quickly formed seals with his hands and murmured:

Following Li Mu's command, the nine seventh-level combat puppets seemed to be awakened by the power of the stars. They soared into the sky, each occupying nine positions, corresponding to the arrangement of the nine stars. The spiritual swords in the hands of each puppet shone brightly, and these lights intertwined to form a complex and mysterious sword formation pattern, like the most dazzling star map in the night sky.

In the Nine Star Sword Formation, sword lights are weaving like a thread, and sword intent is running rampant. Each sword light contains the power of the stars. They either rotate like wheels, cutting through space, or gather into rivers, impacting the enemy formation. They cooperate with each other tacitly, and their sword moves are endless, bringing the power of the sword formation to the extreme, interweaving into a complex and exquisite sword net, intercepting those black chains one by one, making bursts of metal clashing sounds.

As the sword flashed, it not only effectively resisted the invasion of the evil spirit, but also had the potential to counterattack.

Seeing this, Di Tianxing's eyes flashed with surprise and he fell into a brief silence. He obviously didn't expect Li Mu to have such a trump card and easily break his magic with a few puppets. (End of this chapter)
