Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the five elements of energy surrounding his body gradually subsided, and the five elements of Tao body gradually disappeared.

"Although I cannot fully control the Five Elements at the moment, being able to activate them at the critical moment is a blessing in disguise." Li Mu stared at the direction where Di Tianxing fled with a deep gaze and fell into a state of enlightenment.

This battle was not only a comprehensive test of Li Mu's hundreds of years of hard work, exquisite skills, and carefully refined Taoist tools and puppets, but also a baptism of the soul. Wandering on the edge of life and death, he had a clearer understanding of his own cultivation, and his comprehension of the Five Elements reached an unprecedented depth.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's mind moved, and he flicked his fingers. The Nine Treasures Spirit Pearls glowed, and several bottles of extremely rare elixirs appeared out of thin air. Without hesitation, he took out the Tiangang Refining Spirit Pill and the Taixuan Qingshen Pill, took both pills together, then closed his eyes and concentrated, practicing his skills.

The entrance of the sixth-level elixir instantly turned into a warm and majestic torrent of spiritual power, which penetrated the body like a stream, and quickly repaired the body and soul damaged in the battle. Under the interweaving of the powerful Tiangang Refining God Pill and the soft Taixuan Qingshen Pill, it completed a purification and sublimation of the mind. Li Mu's soul was nourished unprecedentedly, and his state of mind became unusually clear, as if he could see the essence of all things in the world.

Li Mu couldn't help but close his eyes and re-immerse himself in the enlightenment of the Five Elements.

When Li Mu opened his eyes again, a joyful smile spread across his face. The five Taoist swords shining with the light of the five elements and the majestic Wanjian Mountain seemed to sense the change in their master's mood. They flew to his side and danced around him. The sound of the swords was crisp and pleasant, as if they were singing for his breakthrough.

"Okay, you've worked hard, let's all go back." Li Mu spoke softly, his tone full of tenderness and kindness.

The five Taoist swords and the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain seemed to understand their master's meaning. They flashed with light, turned into specks of light, and quickly shrank before turning into streaks of light that flew into Li Mu's body.

Li Mu turned his head to look at the floating Soul Realm Pearl, curious about why Senior Qing Yangzi remained silent at this moment.

"Senior, are you okay?" Li Mu sent out a ray of divine consciousness that landed on the Soul Realm Pearl and asked Qing Yangzi.

"It's okay. I'm just a little shocked that you defeated the 'Night Emperor'. Such talent and strength are rare even in the ancient times. It's amazing." Qing Yangzi suddenly woke up and responded to Li Mu with some emotion.

In fact, the shock in Qingyangzi's heart was much stronger than what he expressed verbally.

Being from the same era as Ye Huang - Di Tianxing, Qingyangzi knew his terrifying strength better than anyone else. For some unknown reason, he could not cross the last step to the Dao Lord realm. However, the accumulation of ten thousand years made his cultivation unfathomable and he had already reached the realm of Half-Step Dao Lord.

Before, in that battle, 'Emperor of Night' - Emperor Tianxing also showed the strength of a half-step Taoist. The True Dragon Domain, the Heavenly Dragon Cauldron Taoist weapon, the Dragon Emperor's true body, and all kinds of shocking methods were displayed one by one. His might was enough to shake the heaven and earth and make countless strong people feel fear.

However, facing such a powerful opponent, Li Mu was like the light of dawn. He defeated the "Night Emperor" Di Tianxing single-handedly. The various methods he deployed made Qing Yangzi "dumbfounded".

A talisman that can resist the attack of Emperor Tianxing's combined form, drive a sword formation arranged by multiple puppets, practice the five elements together, be proficient in the art of time and space, have a spiritual awareness comparable to that of a combined form cultivator, and the ability to refine the body comparable to that of a combined form cultivator, and also possess several Taoist swords and are good at sword formations..., endless means and trump cards.

Qing Yangzi witnessed with his own eyes how Li Mu constantly broke through himself in battle and applied the Five Elements to perfection. The formations he set up contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, as if he was the master of the Five Elements who controlled the birth and death of all things.

When Li Mu finally sacrificed the five swords shining with colorful light, Qing Yangzi could even feel the resonance and tremor of the five elements between heaven and earth. It was not only the sharpness of the sword, but also Li Mu's profound understanding and control of the five elements.

When Li Mu used the Five Elements Dharma that only a cultivator in the Fusion Realm could use, and then used the Dao Sword to defeat Emperor Tianxing, Qing Yangzi was even more shocked. It was rare for a cultivator in the Fusion Realm to be able to condense the Dharma, but Li Mu did it with his Refining Void cultivation, and he also integrated the Five Elements Dharma so perfectly, which was an unprecedented feat. This was not only a profound understanding of the Five Elements Dao, but also a manifestation of the ultimate control of power.

Thinking back to the previous battle, Qing Yangzi still couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Thank you for your praise, senior. I paid a huge price to win this battle." Li Mu smiled bitterly and said with some pain in his heart.

In this battle, most of the spiritual swords equipped by Wanjianshan were damaged, the spirituality of five Taoist swords was damaged, dozens of sixth-level puppets were destroyed, and the talismans refined were almost used up... It can be said that this battle almost exhausted the resources accumulated by Li Mu over hundreds of years.

But it was this battle in which he almost gave his all that allowed Li Mu to have a deeper understanding of his own fighting style and his own strength, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"My friend, the loss can be recovered! In this battle, Di Tianxing fled in a hurry. His lair must contain countless treasures and high-level spiritual materials. The wealth he has accumulated over thousands of years should be enough to make up for your loss and even allow you to move to a higher level." Hearing this, Qingyangzi laughed and quickly reminded him.

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed!

That’s right!
The entire Dark Spirit Star is occupied by Di Tianxing. Ten thousand years ago, the Dark Spirit Star was the intersection of the shipping routes between the outer and inner domains. It was extremely prosperous, with countless cultivators and caravans stopping here to trade.

Although the Dark Spirit Star has completely declined nowadays, Di Tianxing is still a half-step Dao Lord after all, and he must have accumulated unimaginable wealth and resources.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Li Mu thanked Qing Yangzi, then cleaned up the battlefield, collected the dozen dragon corpses left by Di Tianxing, and treated the injuries of two seriously injured Nine Nether Kun Whales...

Not long after, Li Mu's figure appeared above the Dark Spirit Star. He released his divine sense to scan and search the entire planet.

Finally, Li Mu learned the location of Emperor Tianxing's lair on Dark Spirit Star. Emperor Tianxing's lair was hidden in a mysterious mountain range on Dark Spirit Star. After countless years, the entire area was covered by a large magic array and shrouded in thick fog. If Li Mu did not have a seventh-level array and was good at arrays, it would be difficult to see the true appearance.

Soon, Li Mu confirmed the origin of the mountain protection formation. The formation was called "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation" and was specially designed to protect hidden caves.

This formation is extremely powerful. Once activated, it can completely seal off the surrounding space, forming a misty illusion, making it difficult for those who enter the formation to tell the direction, let alone find the center of the formation. What's more terrifying is that there are several illusory dragon shadows formed by spiritual power hidden in the mist. They will transform into corresponding forms and attack power according to the cultivation and breath of the person entering the formation, and launch all-round attacks on the intruders.

Knowing the origin of the protective formation, Li Mu broke the formation with ease. He first cast a spell to disrupt the flow of the fog, causing it to temporarily reveal a flaw. Then he found the location of the formation pattern and used his sword as a pen to modify the direction of the formation pattern...

Soon, the "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation" that covered the mountains became Li Mu's control. He simply adjusted the "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation"'s master recognition rules, so that the mist and dragon shadows that were originally used for defense could be used by him instead and became a help in exploring the cave.

Li Mu stepped into the fog, moving freely like a fish in water. Those terrifying illusory dragon shadows now surrounded him obediently or appeared in front of him to guide him.

Li Mu's figure was as fast as lightning, passing through layers of fog and reaching the core area of ​​the mountain range. There, an ancient, huge and towering palace stood quietly, like a huge black mountain, as if time had left no traces on it, revealing an indescribable majesty and vicissitudes.

Almost all of the spiritual veins of the Dark Spirit Star were forcibly confined here by a large magic formation. The spiritual energy around the cave took on the shape of thick white mist, which was only one step away from liquefaction.

Li Mu recognized the extraordinary features of this large array at a glance. It was called the "Dragon Vein Soul Locking Array". This array was extraordinary. It was an extremely rare array handed down from ancient times, designed to imprison the spiritual energy and spiritual veins between heaven and earth. Once the Dragon Vein Soul Locking Array was set up, it could forcibly extract and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles or even wider areas, as well as the spiritual veins buried deep underground, at the center of the array, forming a secret realm with extremely rich spiritual energy for the array setter to practice or store resources.

I saw a light curtain made up of countless runes stretching across the sky, which was incompatible with the surrounding natural environment, yet coexisting harmoniously. It was the entrance to the Dragon Vein Locking Soul Array. The array was flashing with powerful spiritual light, like stars embellishing the night sky, and like dragon scales covering the earth, revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

However, Li Mu hadn't been looking at the formation for long before his eyes were attracted by the surroundings of the giant palace in the center of the formation.

Around the giant palace, a vibrant scene came into Li Mu's eyes, as if it was the most exquisite masterpiece of nature, specially built for practitioners and alchemists. The first thing that attracted his attention was the vast spiritual fields surrounding the palace. These spiritual fields were carefully divided into different areas, and each one was planted with spiritual plants adapted to its characteristics.

On the east side is a lush green spiritual herb garden, where various rare spiritual herbs are planted, such as evergreen ivy, ice mist spiritual grass, purple gold spiritual flower, ... etc. They are in full bloom with colorful spiritual flowers, and they appear more vibrant under the nourishment of rich spiritual energy.

Turning to the south, there is a medicinal field, where most of the medicinal materials needed for alchemy are grown, such as purple cloud ganoderma, golden thread lotus, etc. They are of different shapes and colors, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance that makes people feel refreshed. In the medicinal field, various attribute formations are also arranged to assist the growth of these spiritual herbs, providing the best environment for the growth of various high-level spiritual medicines.

On the west side is a fruit forest with all kinds of spiritual fruits hanging on the trees, such as peaches, colorful phoenix fruits, Tianxin pears, etc. They are not only delicious, but also contain rich spiritual power and special effects. Some can strengthen the body, and some can enhance spiritual consciousness. They are excellent supplements for monks after their practice.

The most eye-catching thing is the spiritual plant garden on the north side of the palace. Some extremely rare high-level spiritual plants are planted here, such as dragon blood spiritual wood, wind heart green bamboo, etc. They are not only peculiar in shape, but also contain the ultimate principles and laws between heaven and earth. These spiritual plants often need a growth cycle of thousands or even tens of thousands of years before they can mature, so you can imagine how precious they are.

In these spiritual fields, medicinal fields, and fruit fields, there are various plant spirits wandering around, busy taking care of them.

Looking at these vast tracts of spiritual fields and thousands of kinds of spiritual plants, Li Mu's face lit up with an expression of joy that was hard to conceal.

"Sent!"

"Hahaha! This is a big deal!"

Li Mu was ecstatic in his heart. He had the supernatural power of absorbing plant spirits. The higher the level of the spiritual plants and the more diverse the species, the greater the gain for him. The large area of ​​high-level spiritual plants with complete varieties in front of him was more valuable than the rare treasures and various inheritance secrets stored in the palace by Di Tianxing.

In addition to the vast number of spiritual plants, the vast amount of spiritual veins imprisoned in this palace are also of extremely high value to Li Mu.

After the space of the eighth-level cave treasure - the Painting-level treasure house was upgraded, the demand for spiritual power became increasingly higher. Moreover, Li Mu would refine talismans, spiritual treasures, and Taoist tools in the treasure house, which would also consume a large amount of spiritual energy in the treasure house.

If all these spiritual veins could be collected into the Painting World Treasure Palace, not only would it satisfy one's own huge demand for spiritual energy, but it might also allow the quality of the Painting World Treasure Palace to achieve another drastic improvement.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Mu's face became even brighter. He began to carefully explore the distribution of spiritual veins around the palace. Using his deep understanding of the formation, he carefully planned how to bring these spiritual veins into the Huajie Treasure Palace while not destroying the integrity and stability of the Dragon Vein Locking Spirit Array.

It is not an easy task to pack up and take away so many spirit veins at once. If it is not handled properly, it may not only cause the collapse of the entire formation, but also cause the spirit veins to lose control and trigger unpredictable disasters.

However, Li Mu soon discovered something was wrong. The spiritual veins drawn by this formation caused the vast majority of spiritual power to flow into the core of the palace, like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual power with almost no leakage. However, when he used his spiritual sense to detect it, he was blocked by a magical force.

This abnormal phenomenon set off alarm bells in Li Mu's heart. You know, his soul was as powerful as that of a strong man with a combined mirror. He had mastered the nebula visualization method and had attached many powerful spiritual powers to his mind. It was almost impossible to find a force that could stop his mind from spying.

But the power before him was like the fog in the abyss, deep and ancient, making Li Mu's consciousness like a drop in the ocean, unable to touch its core. He immediately realized that this palace was probably not simple.

Li Mu focused his eyes on the huge palace in front of him. The towering building was even more mysterious under the spiritual energy. Emperor Tianxing had been hiding in the Dark Spirit Star and had set up many protective measures in his lair. There must be some unspeakable secrets. (End of this chapter)
