Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

As the last ray of earth sword light fell steadily, the air in the entire treasury shook, as if the entire treasury was awakened by an ancient and mysterious power. A distant echo resounded in the trembling air, and new five-element shifting array patterns gradually emerged on the originally mottled and broken array base. They seemed to be endowed with life, flashing with dazzling light. The powerful array patterns contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"The formation is complete!" Li Mu's eyes lit up and he shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, inside the treasure house, the newly formed Five Elements Translocation Array seemed to have become a bridge connecting heaven and earth, with the array patterns radiating with spiritual light, reflecting each other, forming a series of breathtaking pictures. At the same time, on the top of the Seven Gods Mountain, the huge mother array - the Five Elements Yin-Yang Spirit Gathering Array, seemed to have sensed the call of the sub-array, and the seven huge array pillars were instantly lit up, like seven bright stars, madly absorbing and gathering the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth, forming a magnificent spiritual power torrent, surging towards the direction of the treasure house.

Above the Qixuan Sect, the originally peaceful and tranquil scene was completely broken. The sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, revealing a portal to another heaven. The colorful lights intertwined together, like the most gorgeous rainbow across the sky, and like the Milky Way hanging upside down, pouring down, the beauty was breathtaking. The full operation of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Spirit Gathering Array made the entire Qixuan Sect bathe in this unprecedented ocean of spiritual power.

All the disciples in the sect looked up, their eyes full of shock and awe. They had never seen such a spectacular sight, those agile figures shuttled through the light, they turned into dragons and phoenixes soaring in the sky, or turned into unicorns walking on the clouds, each figure represented the purest and most powerful spiritual power in the world, their appearance made everyone present feel the uncanny craftsmanship and endless mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth.

"Look, what is that? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is manifested!" A disciple pointed at the strange phenomenon in the sky, his voice trembling and full of disbelief. His exclamation quickly spread among the crowd, triggering more exclamations and discussions.

"The sect master is truly powerful. He was able to set up such a magic array while in seclusion, causing the sect's spirit gathering array to produce such a violent reaction!" A young disciple said with admiration on his face, his eyes flashing with endless admiration and yearning for Li Mu.

"Isn't the Sect Master in seclusion? Why did he set up a magic array again, causing such a violent reaction in the Spiritual Sect's Spirit Gathering Array?"

The third elder, Qin Wen, was floating in the air, looking deeply at the seven pillars of the Seven Gods Mountain. He frowned and muttered to himself, "What exactly does the sect master want to do? Is he planning something earth-shattering again?"

With the full activation of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by an invisible giant hand, gathering into surging torrents. They were like rivers bursting their banks, rushing towards the treasure house in an unstoppable manner. The strength of this spiritual power was enough to shake the mountains and rivers, making the light of the array in the treasury even more dazzling, almost penetrating the clouds, illuminating every corner of the Qixuan Sect as if it were daytime.

Inside the treasury, the space seemed to be distorted by this enormous spiritual power, forming dazzling spiritual power whirlpools. They rotated and intertwined, filling every inch of the treasury with a magical aura. These spiritual power whirlpools not only enhanced the power of the original formations in the treasury, but also seemed to indicate that some unknown changes were about to take place.

"What kind of magic array did the sect master set up to trigger such a spectacular spiritual power fluctuation? This is beyond imagination!"

The fourth elder, Zhong Zilin, looked at the scene with a hint of disbelief, as it was far beyond his imagination.

"Indeed, if such a phenomenon were noticed by the outside world, it would definitely cause an uproar. The concealment and protection formations arranged in advance by the sect master now seem to be so far-sighted. However, I don't know what the sect master is doing in the treasury. The gathering of spiritual power on such a scale has produced such a magnificent phenomenon. If it were known by the outside world, it would probably bring big trouble." The fifth elder, Ge Xinyu, took over the conversation, frowned slightly, and showed some worry.

The three elders looked at each other, their hearts filled with admiration and worry for the Sect Master Li Mu. Such a big move might determine the future fate of the Qixuan Sect. In this huge torrent of spiritual power, they seemed to feel an unprecedented power awakening, and the source of all this was the mysterious treasure house.

"There must be a deep meaning behind this move by the sect leader." Qin Wentong pondered for a moment, his heart full of admiration and trust for Li Mu, knowing that his actions contained far-reaching plans.

"No matter what, we should keep the secret strictly, strengthen the defense of the sect, and ensure that the sect master's retreat is not disturbed." Zhong Zilin took over the conversation and said seriously that the gathering of spiritual power on such a scale is not only a major challenge to the strength of the sect.

"Elder Zhong is right." Qin Wentong responded quickly, turned to look at the core disciples, and sternly ordered: "Immediately send more disciples to patrol, increase the alert level, and ensure that there is no danger inside and outside the sect. At the same time, notify all elders and core disciples to hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures and ensure that the sect master's retreat is not disturbed by external forces."

As the decision of the three elders was quickly conveyed, the Qixuan Sect quickly entered a tense and orderly state.

The disciples were urgently summoned and quickly assigned to their respective posts. Some disciples were responsible for strengthening patrols inside and outside the sect. They held long swords and scanned the surroundings vigilantly to ensure that no movement would escape their eyes. The other disciples began to prepare for war. They practiced their skills, honed their martial arts, and were ready to deal with any emergencies that might arise.

The entire Qixuan Sect was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement and tension. They were excited because they knew that this gathering of spiritual power would bring unprecedented opportunities and improvements to the sect; they were nervous because they didn't know what kind of changes would happen to the sect after the sect master's retreat.

In the treasure house of Qixuan Sect, as the Five Elements Transfer Array was fully activated, a vast and boundless torrent of spiritual power surged into the center of the array like a river flowing back, and its force was so fierce that it seemed to shake the foundation of heaven and earth. However, under the impact of this force, the array gradually showed an indescribable harmony and stability, the light was restrained, and the flow of the array pattern revealed an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Li Mu stood in the air, his face as calm as water, staring deeply at the 'Five Elements Movement Array' below, observing its every subtle change, waiting quietly until the array completely absorbed the vast array power from the Five Elements Yin and Yang Spirit Gathering Array. The entire space trembled, as if a dusty history was about to be unveiled.

At this moment, Li Mu's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, the scene when he and Qiu Yuanhong selected the Seven Gods Mountain as the sacred place. He clearly remembered that Qiu Yuanhong had revealed an astonishing secret to him - about the founder of the Qixuan Sect, the Qixuan Taoist who was only one step away from entering the realm of the Taoist Lord.

It is said that Taoist Qixuan discovered the entrance to the ancient ruins here, hiding a passage leading to the Chaos Secret Realm. The seven array beads of the Seven Gods Mountain were carefully laid out to seal the ruins and prevent the leakage of the power of chaos. Over the years, Li Mu has looked up many ancient and modern secret books and a lot of information about the Chaos Secret Realm. The so-called Chaos Secret Realm is not a simple space crack or ruins entrance, but a strange place connecting the origin of chaos and the present world. In the chaos, the sky and the earth are not separated, and the yin and yang are not judged. It contains the most primitive and purest power of the universe. The Chaos Secret Realm is the window for this chaotic power to appear in the world under certain conditions.

It is said that the Secret Realm of Chaos contains countless natural treasures, ancient magical powers and even the secrets of enlightenment. If anyone who steps into it can comprehend the mysteries of chaos, they will have the hope of transcending reincarnation and achieving the supreme path.

However, the conditions for opening the Chaos Secret Realm are also extremely harsh, and are often accompanied by huge risks. If you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation. At present, this Five Elements Transfer Array that continuously gathers the spiritual power of heaven and earth is very likely the entrance to the Chaos Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement and uneasiness in his heart. He closed his eyes and concentrated, releasing his spiritual thoughts, carefully sensing the torrent of spiritual power flowing in the Five Elements Transfer Array, trying to capture more information about the Chaos Secret Realm.

However, apart from continuously accumulating spiritual power, the Five Elements Movement Array did not reveal the location of the movement, as if it was gestating something. Li Mu frowned and waited patiently.

Finally, the Five Elements Transfer Array gathered tremendous power, and its core area suddenly burst into dazzling light, like the first light of dawn, breaking through the endless darkness.

Surrounded by this light, an illusory and solemn portal quietly appeared. When the door opened slightly, it revealed a hazy scene that was both ancient and mysterious in the depths of chaos, as if leading to a dimension beyond cognition, connecting to the most secret corners of the universe.

Li Mu concentrated his mind and energy, his deep eyes flashing with determination and expectation. His strong spiritual power accompanied by his boundless consciousness quickly swept across this unknown area like a searchlight. Then, his figure turned into a stream of light, and he resolutely passed through the door of light and disappeared from the sight of the Seven Profound Sect's treasure house.

With a "whoosh", Li Mu's figure was instantly swallowed up by the chaos and he stepped into a bizarre new world.

The space of this world seems to be distorted by invisible hands, forming a series of dazzling illusions; the world is shrouded in thick and indescribable fog, which not only blocks the vision, but also seems to contain endless secrets; and the raging spiritual power storms are even more wild and unruly. Not only are they suffocatingly dense, they also carry a destructive force that is enough to destroy everything, just like the chaotic tide at the beginning of the universe, running wildly.

However, beneath the chaos, violence and disorder, there lurks an indescribable order and harmony. Relying on his extraordinary spiritual power, Li Mu's consciousness barely penetrated the layers of barriers and caught a glimpse of a corner of this strange space. He felt that the violent spiritual power seemed to contain the most fundamental laws and rhythms of the universe, which collided and intertwined with each other, showing a harmonious beauty that transcends common sense.

Although the detection range of divine consciousness was greatly weakened due to the influence of the chaotic force, Li Mu could still feel the powerful force contained in this space. At the same time, Li Mu's body was under tremendous pressure. If he had not been successful in body refining and his physique far exceeded that of ordinary Void Refining cultivators, he would have been crushed to pieces by the gravity of this secret realm.

Li Mu silently circulated the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra, and the spiritual power surged around his body, forming an indestructible layer of protective spiritual power, isolating the raging spiritual power storm. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind so that he could better perceive the subtle changes in this chaotic space.

At this moment, something strange happened. As Li Mu practiced the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sutra, the thick, heavy and violent spiritual power of heaven and earth around him seemed to resonate and began to flow and fluctuate around his body with a strange rhythm. The originally chaotic, disordered and powerful force gradually formed a subtle balance, as if responding to the Yin-Yang and Five Elements power in his body.

Li Mu's mind moved, and he realized that he had stepped into a world full of chaotic power, a mysterious space full of opportunities and hidden dangers. At this moment, the violent spiritual power here could be used by him, and he immediately calmed down and prepared to condense the domain of law here.

Li Mu took out a set of formation tools from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, formed seals with his hands, and whispered an ancient and complex spell, guiding his own spiritual power into these formation tools.

A formation device consisting of five spirit beads, one large and four small, sank into the ground. A thick white mist was generated over a large area, completely obscuring Li Mu's figure.

After setting up a protective magic circle, Li Mu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, devoting himself to cultivation, bringing the profound meaning of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sutra to the extreme. The spiritual power in his body surged like a river, blending with the chaotic spiritual power around it, forming a new and unprecedented power system.

As time went by, this power became stronger and stronger. Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes and took out a bottle of elixir and seven spiritual objects of different colors from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. He proceeded to the next step and took the Guixu Pill to condense the seventh-level incarnation into the Lianxu domain.

After taking the seventh-level Taoist pill - Guixu Pill, the powerful medicinal power gushed out. Li Mu's eyes widened, and he circulated the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra to the extreme. The power of his soul surged out, and he unconsciously displayed his magical power - the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth.

As the Dharma image of heaven and earth appeared, Li Mu's figure suddenly expanded and turned into a giant standing tall, with a mysterious halo of yin and yang interweaving and the five elements rotating around him. The mysterious halo was not only the manifestation of the power in his body, but also the concrete embodiment of the spiritual power law after his deep understanding of the laws of the chaotic secret realm. Every breath of the 'giant' caused the surrounding violent spiritual power to tremble and surrender.

As the power of the Guixu Pill was fully released, Li Mu's seventh-level incarnation began to undergo earth-shaking changes. The seven spiritual objects of different colors represented the seven major attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang. They circled and danced in the air, echoing with Li Mu's heaven and earth Dharma, and gradually merged into an unprecedented force.
