Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Just when Li Mu entered the Chaos Secret Realm, released the Dharma images of heaven and earth, and began to condense the Dharma domain.

Located on Qi Ling Star, in the sealed formation channel formed by the seven extreme places, there is a chaotic color, sometimes deep blue like night, sometimes red like fire, sometimes black like ink. The interface where various colors are intertwined and entangled suddenly cracks a space crack, and the rich chaotic power rushes out crazily towards this space crack.

For a moment, a strange scene appeared in the sky above the entire Qi Ling Star. The sky was no longer the familiar starry sky, but directly revealed the phantom of the sealing formation and the phantom within the channel between the two worlds.

In the upper realm - the fairyland, among the misty peaks, the cranes and spirit beasts that had been living leisurely and contented now seemed to feel the vibrations from the collapse of the seal between the two realms. They were either humming or flapping their wings, as if expressing their awe and curiosity about this power in their own unique way. The spirit beasts were singing together, but beneath this peace, there was a hint of uneasiness.

The creatures in the fairy world all looked up at the sky. From those ancient fairy palaces and temples, shadows of fairies flew out. They were dressed in glittering fairy robes, and their brows revealed a transcendental aura. They looked at each other with frowns, or communicated something with serious expressions.

The lower world of the Demonic Abyss was a completely different scene, with red soil all over the ground, magma flowing like a river, and the air filled with the smell of sulfur and flames. At the moment when the seal loosened, countless monsters in the depths of the Demonic Abyss felt unprecedented fluctuations. They roared and screamed, as if trying to break free. However, the shadow of the seal was like an invisible giant net, firmly binding these evil forces, so that they could only wreak havoc in the Demonic Abyss and could not really break through the boundaries.

They all looked up at the shadow of the seal formation, their eyes flashing with greed and fear, as if they could feel an unprecedented temptation, but they were afraid of a certain power and dared not approach easily. Suddenly, a god and demon appeared, with two feet and six arms, roaring to the sky, unable to suppress excitement and greed. As the six arms waved, they brought gusts of wind, making the surrounding magma boil, as if even the earth was shaking. Its existence made the already restless monsters even more crazy. They gathered around the god and demon, as if they had found a leader and were ready to break the shackles of the seal together.

……

The sudden appearance of strange phenomena in heaven and earth shocked countless sects in the entire spiritual world for a moment. Those sect ancestors who had been hiding from the world came out from their retreats one after another. Their figures were like meteors across the sky, and in an instant they arrived high above the spiritual world, looking up at the phantom of the great formation in the sky.

The numerous ancestors of the various sects, each of them has gone through countless years and has unfathomable cultivation. Some of them hold ancient long swords, the sword light is like a dragon; some carry huge gourds, which contain the universe; some step on auspicious clouds, with fluttering clothes, like immortals descending to the world. Their appearance adds a bit of solemnity and hope to this sudden crisis.

"The seal has loosened. This is a major change that has not happened in ten thousand years. The spiritual world is in danger!" A Taoist priest in a blue robe with white hair but a face as handsome as a young man, looked at the phantom in the sky and sighed in a deep voice.

"Daoyou Taiyi!" A female cultivator in green clothes, holding a jade flute, and with an elegant temperament, slowly stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the white-haired cultivator. "There is also a turning point hidden in this crisis. The seal formation has loosened, and the passage between the two worlds has opened. Flying to the upper world is no longer a problem. This is an opportunity for us to break through the existing shackles and seek a higher realm.

"Fairy Qingxuan, this is ridiculous!" Another slender old man who arrived on a spirit crane shook his head and denied it, "The immortals in the upper realm regard us as ants. The passage between the two realms is wide open. Although it is an opportunity for a breakthrough, it is also the beginning of a disaster. The creatures in the Demonic Abyss are ready to move. Once the seal is completely collapsed, the monsters will wreak havoc and the spirit world will fall into an irretrievable situation. Our first priority should be to strengthen the seal, not to rush to ascend to the upper realm."

"Fellow Daoist He Yun has a point." Another middle-aged cultivator with a resolute face and a huge fan on his back echoed, "Let's not talk about whether the immortals in the upper realm will accept us. Even if we can ascend, if the foundation of the spiritual world is not preserved, how can we call ourselves masters? The most urgent task is to unite the forces of various sects and jointly resist the impending crisis."

Hearing this, the ancestors of all the sects nodded one after another, and the atmosphere became solemn. This crisis was of great importance, and it not only concerned their personal lives, but also the survival of the entire spiritual world.

“Fellow Daoist Tianji, have you figured out anything? Hasn’t the seal formation been completed by Xuantian Sword Sect? Why did such a huge change occur this time?!”

Taoist Taiyi looked at old man Tianji and asked with concern.

At this moment, old man Tianji was standing in the air with his hands behind his back, staring at the constantly changing shadow of the seal formation in the sky. A solemn look appeared between his brows. He was holding a magic mirror in his hand, and his five fingers were pinching the deduction formula, as if he was calculating something.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Old Man Tianji, hoping to get accurate information from him.

Elder Tianji slowly turned around, his eyes swept over all the ancestors of the sect, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although the seal formation has been completed by Xuantian Sword Sect, the laws of heaven and earth are mysterious and cannot be fully controlled by human power. The loosening of the seal this time is actually caused by some unknown force in the world, or it may be related to the Jiuyou incident."

Hearing this, all the ancestors looked towards Xuantian Sword Sect.

I saw a group of high-level officials of Xuantian Sword Sect coming one after another, including Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, and a group of sword elders. They were all staring at the phantom of the sealing formation of the passage between the two worlds in the sky with solemn expressions.

Xuantian Sword Sect, one of the two Taoist Lords, Qinghong Taoist Lord, died in the Nine Netherworlds. This shrouded the entire Xuantian Sword Sect in a haze. The other Taoist Lord, Xuantian Taoist Lord, was also caught up in it and has not returned yet.

What changes happened in the Nine Netherworlds is still a mystery, but all signs indicate that an unprecedented crisis is brewing there. The disappearance of Daoist Master Xuantian and the fall of Daoist Master Qinghong are linked to the changes in the current domain-sealing formation, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, making the ancestors feel heavy-hearted and unable to ignore it.

"Feng Daoyou, when will your sect leader return? Did he leave any explanation?"

A middle-aged monk wearing a purple-gold robe and with a dignified face was the leader of Zi Yang Sect - You Fang. He stared at Master Feng with deep eyes and asked anxiously.

"We are not allowed to inquire about the whereabouts of the sect leader. I am sorry that I have nothing to tell you!" Master Feng Jian met the other party's gaze and responded coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly became subtle, and some sect elders showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

"What a big deal! Even at this time, the Xuantian Sword Sect is still hiding. Aren't they disregarding the safety of the spiritual world?" A burly man with red hair and extremely muscular body spoke with a voice like thunder. It was the ancestor of the Tianding Sect - Master Chilong.

"Hmph, Xuantian Sword Sect, you are the sect that guards the great seal formation. Now that both of your Dao Lords are missing, how can you guarantee the safety of the seal?" An old man in a black robe with a sinister face spoke coldly. He is the leader of the Wan Yao Sect and has always been at odds with the Xuantian Sword Sect.

Upon hearing this, Sword Master Feng frowned and was about to explain, but he saw that Sword Master Chen had already taken the lead and said firmly: "Sect Master Qiu is wrong. My Xuantian Sword Sect has been responsible for protecting the seal since ancient times and has never slacked off. Right now, the spiritual energy is exhausted and the seal is loose, which is a major event that endangers the spiritual world. We need to unite and deal with the crisis together..."

"Unity? Humph, that sounds good! If the Xuantian Sword Sect had not monopolized the benefits of the secret realm and failed to guard the seal, how could we have suffered today's disaster?" The leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect sneered, obviously unwilling to let go of this opportunity easily.

At this time, Elder Tianji coughed lightly and quickly interrupted the dispute between the two sides: "Everyone, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The seal is loose, and the Demon Abyss is ready to move. Our top priority is to find a solution, not to fight here." Elder Tianji's words eased the originally tense atmosphere. But even so, the differences between the ancestors are still obvious, and each has their own plans and considerations on how to deal with this crisis.

“Fellow Daoist Tianji is absolutely right, but Xuantian Sword Sect, as the sect that guards the seal, should shoulder more responsibilities.” A female cultivator with a kind face and a whisk in hand spoke slowly. She is the leader of the Yunyin Sect. Although she does not often show up, her prestige is extremely high.

“What Sect Leader Yun said is true. The Nine Netherworlds have undergone strange changes, the seal has loosened, the passage between the two worlds is unstable…all of this seems to be pulled by some kind of force. I hope that Wanggui Sect can put aside past grudges and allow us to enter the seven secret realms to check the conditions of the sealed areas.” Taiyi Sect’s deputy sect leader, Xu Wen, suddenly spoke up and proposed.

"Master Xu is right. Fellow Daoist Feng, please take us to the sealed place immediately to find out the truth and discuss countermeasures together."

"That's right. If the seal is loosened, it will affect the lives of billions of souls in the spirit world. We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

"Something must have gone wrong with the Sealing Domain Array. Xuantian Sword Sect must give us an explanation!"

……

The voices of the ancestors merged into a torrent that could not be ignored. There was both anxiety and blame in their eyes, as if Xuantian Sword Sect was the only culprit for this crisis. Their tone revealed their distrust of Xuantian Sword Sect and their urgent desire to know the truth.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure, Sword Master Feng's expression became increasingly resolute. He did not retreat at all. Instead, he looked coldly at everyone present.

“The Xuantian Sword Sect has been committed to protecting the sealed formation since its establishment tens of thousands of years ago. Even if there is a problem with the seal, our sect will spend huge costs to solve it. However, this time it is the cause and effect of the exhaustion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is the general trend of the times and is definitely not a problem of the sealed place. Moreover, it is a sealed secret place with many restrictions, which is difficult for non-disciples of our sect to deal with. Once a mistake is made, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe. I hope you will be cautious and not be tempted by villains.” Sword Master Feng politely declined everyone in a deep voice. After that, he stared at the deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, Xu Wen, with murderous intent.

Xu Wen, the deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, was shocked. Ever since the last time he, together with the Netherworld Sect and the Xuanxiao Sect, kidnapped Li Mu halfway, he was taught a lesson by Sword Master Feng. Taiyi Sect ceded a lot of spiritual points and paid a huge price before it was able to reconcile with the Xuantian Sword Sect.

Xu Wen felt the sharp gaze of Sword Master Feng, and his face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. His actions were indeed wrong, but now the two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect had disappeared one after another, and he had many ancestors of other sects by his side, so he had the advantage, and he quickly regained his composure.

"Master Feng is absolutely right. However, we should focus on the overall situation at this moment. I proposed to enter the sealed area not out of selfishness, but because I sincerely hope to find a way to loosen the seal and jointly protect the spiritual world." Xu Wen said in a sincere tone to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is right, Sword Master Feng, if your sect cannot solve the problem of the Sealing Domain Array, you should let go of your prejudices and allow all the sects to participate. After all, this is a matter of great importance to the safety of the entire spiritual world."

"That's right. Without the two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect, they are not strong enough to survive this crisis. Why would it hurt for us to help them?"

"Feng Daoyou, the reactions are so cumulative, could it be that something is wrong with the Sealing Domain Formation?"

……

Upon seeing this, the ancestors of other sects all echoed the call, expressing their willingness to put aside their prejudices and jointly deal with the crisis. After all, the loosening of the seal was related to the survival of the entire spiritual world, and any personal grudges seemed insignificant at this moment.

"Really? The Sealing Domain Array was created in ancient times by seven Dao Lords. Do you have the ability to do this?"

Facing the advice of the ancestors, Master Feng Jian curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile and rejected them forcefully. His voice was as piercing as ice, instantly bringing the atmosphere on the scene to freezing point.

"The Xuantian Sword Sect has been the guardian of the Sealed Domain Array since ancient times. Our responsibility and honor cannot be questioned by anyone! Now, although the two Dao Lords are gone, our sect's determination to protect the Sealed Domain Array has never wavered in the slightest!"

"Master Xu, the negligence and monopoly you mentioned are nothing but nonsense! The loosening of the seal is a change in the laws of heaven and earth, which cannot be controlled by the power of our Xuantian Sword Sect. As for the benefits of the secret realm, they were also earned by our ancestors with blood and sweat. How can you covet them so easily?"

Facing the ancestors, Lord Feng Jian, who was floating in the air, took a sudden step forward and asked forcefully.

As soon as these words came out, all the ancestors present had livid faces and eyes wide open, as if they would explode at any moment. The other cultivators who had not peeked into the sealed secret realm also looked at each other in bewilderment, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Master Feng, you are so stubborn. Do you really want to watch the spiritual world fall into crisis and do nothing?" The leader of the Yunyin Sect tried to put the overall situation first and ease the atmosphere.

Master Feng smiled coldly: "The overall situation? I will naturally take the overall situation into consideration, but I will never allow anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and disrupt the responsibility of my Xuantian Sword Sect. The sealed land is heavily restricted and difficult for non-disciples of my sect to control. Once there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. My Xuantian Sword Sect would rather bear this responsibility alone than let anyone become the catalyst of this disaster!"

Master Feng Jian stood in front of everyone like an unshakable mountain.

Sword Master Chen led the other sword elders to step forward, with their swords drawn but not unleashed, with determination and awe. The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the scene was shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere of solemnity and murderousness, as if a war was about to break out.

Sword Master Feng led all the sword practitioners of Xuantian Sword Sect to form a powerful formation, which was like an invisible barrier, neutralizing the strength of all the sect masters and ancestors one by one, confronting each other head-on.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred! (End of chapter)
