Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu with a fierce look in his eyes. He changed the subject and suggested, "Elder Li, you have condensed the Chaos Domain, and its power must be extraordinary. I, Chen, have always had an endless pursuit of swordsmanship. How about we spar with each other and let me see the power of chaos?"

"The Great Way of Chaos, from ten thousand years ago till now, no one has ever been able to set foot on this path. Elder Li's achievements are truly unprecedented and breathtaking. The Great Way of Chaos is so profound and vast that it is not something that ordinary people like us can easily comprehend. Junior Brother Chen's suggestion is very good, and I am willing to serve as a marshal in your battle." Sword Master Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Mu and agreed.

After hearing the proposals from Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng, Qin Wentong and the others' eyes lit up. They were also looking forward to witnessing this sword fight, and they hoped to see with their own eyes the true strength of the sect master at this moment.

That's the Avenue of Chaos!

In the past tens of thousands of years in the entire spiritual world, no one has ever been able to embark on this path. However, today they witnessed Li Mu's achievement. If he can continue to advance in the future and reach the final realm, what a shocking achievement that would be!
Thinking of this, Qin Wentong and others couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement and pride in their hearts.

"Master, two sword masters, if you want to fight with swords, I will go and clear the sword fighting arena and make some arrangements." Qin Wentong looked at Li Mu and suggested impatiently.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Elder Qin."

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Li Mu had no choice but to agree. He also wanted to test his true combat power after condensing the Chaos Domain. Having Master Chen Jian, a strong man with profound attainments in swordsmanship, as his opponent was undoubtedly the best touchstone.

Seeing Li Mu's agreement, Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin and Ge Xinyu all flew away and went to the sword fighting arena in the back mountain to set up the scene.

"Sword Master, since you have such intention, I will respectfully obey your order. However, I hope that you will show mercy. My Chaos Domain is newly formed and still has many shortcomings." After watching the three people leave, Li Mu turned to look at Sword Master Chen and said with a smile.

"Haha, Elder Li is too modest." Sword Master Chen laughed a few times, then moved and flew out of the hall, following Qin Wentong's figure to the sword fighting arena.

Master Feng Jian and Li Mu looked at each other, and then their figures moved and disappeared into a streak of light.

Li Mu walked in the air and followed closely behind.

Landing on the sword fighting stage, Li Mu clearly felt a strong sword intent permeating the air. Sword Master Chen, who arrived at the sword fighting stage first, held the Gengjin Dao Sword in his hand and arranged the sword domain with his own sword intent to create the best condition for the upcoming competition.

At this moment, the protective formation of the sword fighting arena has been activated. Master Feng Jian, Qin Wentong and others each stayed in a corner, providing a stable and safe barrier for the sword fighting arena, while looking forward to this unprecedented sword-fighting feast.

As for the area around the sword fighting arena, all the disciples of the Seven Profound Sect within a radius of one hundred miles have been cleared out, and a formation has been set up to block the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness, ensuring the purity of this competition and not being disturbed by the outside world.

However, Sword Master Chen is a combined sword cultivator. Once the fight starts, the existing defensive measures of the sword fighting arena may be insufficient.

"Sword Master, please wait a moment!"

Li Mu took out several formation tools from the Jiuzang Lingzhu and cast spells to release them one after another.

First, there was a five-element protective array device - a five-color jade plate placed in the center of the sword fighting arena. As Li Mu injected spiritual power, the jade plate bloomed with brilliant light, and the rich five-element energy intertwined and rotated in the air, forming a series of gorgeous halos that tightly wrapped the sword fighting arena. This five-element array device not only increased the concentration of spiritual power in the sword fighting arena, but also made the entire space more stable, and could effectively transform the aftermath of their sword fighting into protective power, reducing their impact on the sword fighting arena.

Next, a small copper gong was struck gently, and suddenly, a melodious and mysterious sound wave spread out, quickly forming an invisible barrier around the sword fighting platform. Li Mu used this array device to set up an array called "echo barrier". The echo barrier can absorb and transform the sound wave impact in the battle. Whether it is the sound of swords or the loud noise caused by the collision of magic power, it can be effectively weakened to prevent the sound from leaking out and impacting the outside world.

Finally, Li Mu took out an ancient battle formation diagram called "The Forbidden Map of All Things". The battle formation diagram slowly unfolded, and it was painted with mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, the stars, and all kinds of strange creatures, all vivid and lifelike. With the infusion of spiritual power, the scenes on the scroll seemed to come alive, turning into streams of light and merging into the void around the duel arena. This Forbidden Map of All Things can form a powerful barrier that isolates the inside and outside of the duel arena, not only preventing the leakage of the aftermath of the battle, but also isolating all external prying and interference, ensuring the purity and privacy of this competition.

After completing all this, Li Mu turned to look at Sword Master Chen, then summoned a Five Elements Dao Sword from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and grabbed it in his hand, saying with a smile: "Sword Master, the protection of the sword fighting arena has been reinforced. Now we can spar without worry!"

Looking at the array of weapons arranged by Li Mu, Sword Master Chen's eyes were full of admiration and respect: "Elder Li is indeed extraordinary. These array weapons and formations are extremely powerful. In this case, let's get started!"

After saying that, Sword Master Chen stretched out his body, and the Gengjin Dao Sword turned into a dazzling golden sword light, heading straight for Li Mu.

Seeing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He moved lightly, as graceful as flowing clouds. He injected the power of chaos into the Five Elements Sword in his hand and rushed forward to fight back.

With a loud "bang", Sword Master Chen revealed his figure, and the Gengjin Dao Sword collided violently with Li Mu's Five Elements Dao Sword. The two sword lights intertwined in the air, as if the chaos and light at the beginning of the world were in fierce confrontation. Where the sword tips touched, dazzling light burst out, and the space seemed to be distorted by this force, forming ripple-like waves.

The two sides separated as soon as they touched each other, and the next moment, they collided fiercely again, with the force gradually increasing.

Although Li Mu had condensed the Chaos Domain, he was only at the Refining Void level after all, while Sword Master Chen was at the peak of the Fusion level. If he used all his strength from the beginning, it would be a bit like bullying the weak. Therefore, he held back after making his move, and kept increasing the stakes to test Li Mu's bottom line.

However, the Chaos Domain was entrenched around Li Mu, and every time the sword light collided, it smashed into the bottomless chaotic vortex. Instead of being easily defeated, it seemed to be constantly absorbing the essence of these forces, making Li Mu's offensive more powerful and the chaotic power contained in the sword light more and more intense.

Sword Master Chen became more and more courageous as the battle went on, his aura continued to rise, and the sharp sword energy released from his body was as fierce as a storm, but Li Mu's Chaos Domain was like a vast ocean, deep and vast, constantly devouring and transforming this sharp sword intent.

"What a great Chaos Domain! It can so cleverly dissolve my Gengjin Sword Domain!" Sword Master Chen exclaimed in admiration, with a stronger fighting spirit in his eyes. It is a blessing for a sword cultivator to meet such an opponent, and it is also an excellent opportunity to hone his own swordsmanship.

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Sword Master, you are too kind. I have only gained a glimpse of the inner world. However, since Sword Master is interested, I will do my best to explore the mysteries of swordsmanship and chaos with Sword Master." After that, the chaotic power in Li Mu's body surged more violently. He tapped the ground with the Five Elements Sword in his hand. Suddenly, the entire sword fighting arena seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. The space around it began to distort, forming pieces of sword beams composed of chaotic energy. These sword beams were completely different from the previous ones. They were not as sharp and direct as traditional sword energy, but contained an indescribable heaviness and depth, just like the chaos at the beginning of the universe, both chaotic and harmonious, both destructive and creative.

"Chaos Sword Rain, this is the sword force I realized by combining the Chaos Realm and the Dao of Sword. I hope Sword Master will appreciate it." Li Mu said softly.

The next moment, Li Mu suddenly rose up, like a god traveling through the chaotic fog. The chaotic sword light danced with his movements. Colorful sword lights shot out from the ground like heavy rain and flooded towards Sword Master Chen.

Seeing this, Sword Master Chen looked solemn, feeling the threat contained in this endless chaotic sword light, which was a sword move that surpassed any he had encountered before.

"What a Chaos Sword Rain!"

Faced with this magical power of the sword domain, Sword Master Chen was aroused to fight. The Gengjin sword domain suddenly expanded, and the golden sword light pounced out like a tiger.

"Sword Domain Unparalleled, Gengjin Sword Tiger, kill!"

With a loud roar from Sword Master Chen, the Gengjin Dao sword in his hand seemed to be given life and turned into a giant golden tiger, pouncing towards Li Mu.

At the same time, the combined Dharma domain condensed around Chen Jianzhu gave rise to countless sword beams that manifested into Dharma images. Golden sword tigers condensed one after another. They had different shapes, revealing endless power and sharpness. The group of golden sword tigers roared along with the golden giant tiger, carrying the power to tear apart space, and rushed head-on towards Li Mu's chaotic sword rain.

"Boom!" With a loud noise,
The chaotic sword rain and the group of golden sword tigers collided violently in the air. In an instant, the entire sword fighting arena seemed to be shrouded in a violent energy storm.

Every collision between the sword rain and the sword tiger caused a deafening roar. At this moment, the space seemed to be torn into countless pieces, and was quickly repaired by the power of the Chaos Domain and the Gengjin Domain.

Li Mu's Chaos Sword Rain and sword beams contain the secrets of chaos. They seem chaotic and disordered, but in fact they contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. They can easily penetrate the defense of the Gengjin Sword Tiger and cause chaos in its body, weakening its strength. However, Master Chen Jian's Gengjin Sword Tiger, with its indestructible sharpness and the might of a tiger descending from a mountain, continuously attacks the defense line of the Chaos Domain with a purer and more powerful force, trying to find a chance to break through and pounce on Li Mu.

The two domains of law collided fiercely, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides, with each side intertwined with the other.

At the same time, the battle between Li Mu and Chen Jianzhu also entered a white-hot close combat state. The two figures rushed like lightning on the sword-fighting stage. As the swords flashed, the space seemed to be infinitely compressed and expanded in an instant. Every collision of sword beams was accompanied by a violent surge of the vitality of heaven and earth, showing an extraordinary sword-fighting state.

As time went by, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense. The entire sword fighting arena seemed to have become a battleground between Gengjin Sword Dao and Chaos Domain. Li Mu's Chaos Domain and Master Chen Jian's Gengjin Sword Domain collided tens of thousands of times, producing all kinds of incredible phenomena.

The huge aftermath of the battle shook the entire sword fighting arena, as if it could not withstand the earth-shaking power of the two powerful men.

However, under the protection of the numerous formations and array devices that Li Mu had set up earlier, the sword fighting arena remained as stable as before. The forces that distorted the space around it and the huge energy fluctuations were effectively confined to this small space.

Outside the sword fighting arena, Feng Jianzhu, Qin Wentong and others who were watching the fight stared at the fierce confrontation on the arena, with indescribable excitement and shock surging in their hearts.

Being both at the peak of the fusion realm, Sword Master Feng had already seen that Sword Master Chen had almost exerted his full strength, and his sword intent at the peak of the fusion realm had almost reached perfection. However, in front of Li Mu's Chaos Domain, his Domain seemed to be restrained.

The battle between the two is now evenly matched.

During the fierce confrontation, Li Mu's Chaos Domain showed its deeper and more unique power. The all-inclusive nature of the Chaos Domain could absorb a portion of Chen Jianzhu's Gengjin power and transform it into Chaos Power to nourish itself. At the same time, it also weakened the opponent's power, killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time, the Chaos Domain seems to have the terrifying ability to "devour everything". Any sword energy, magic, and even energy fluctuations that enter this domain will be swallowed up by it invisibly. In addition, Li Mu's Chaos Domain contains the supreme law of "Chaos Will". This will transcends the will of any creature or object, allowing him to use this will to merge with the will of swordsmanship, so that each sword contains the majestic power of the beginning of the universe and has many benefits.

Witnessing the amazing power displayed by Li Mu's Chaos Domain, Sword Master Feng had to admit that the power of the Avenue of Chaos did have potential and power beyond imagination.

Qin Wentong stood in a corner of the sword-fighting arena, his eyes following every clash between the two figures on the stage. His heart was filled with shock and grief.

Master Chen Jian is a veteran cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage in Xuantian Sword Sect. He is only one step away from entering the realm of Dao Lord. However, the Sect Master is a newly promoted cultivator at the refining void stage, and there is a big gap between his cultivation level and Master Chen Jian's. But now, relying on the Chaos Domain, he is able to fight him on equal terms, which is enough to prove the power of the Chaos Avenue.

The power that Li Mu possessed was far beyond Qin Wentong's imagination. He couldn't help but feel a sincere sense of pride and awe in his heart, and felt proud that his sect leader had such a brilliant person.

Zhong Zilin stared at the fierce battle on the sword fighting stage with sharp eyes and inexplicable excitement. At this moment he had a sudden realization and a deep understanding and application of the sword intent. The sect master integrated the sword art with the Chaos Domain and created unprecedented sword power. This was an excellent reference.

At this moment, Ge Xinyu's mood was extremely complicated. Looking at the familiar figure on the sword fighting stage, she felt both proud and worried. She was proud that the sect leader she admired had displayed such amazing strength and won supreme glory for the sect. She was worried that the battle was so fierce that she was afraid that Li Mu would get injured in an accident.

After all, there is a huge gap between the sect master and the other party in terms of cultivation level.

However, when she saw Li Mu becoming more and more calm in the fierce battle, successfully dealing with Chen Jianzhu's sharp attacks time and time again, fighting back and forth without losing the upper hand, Ge Xinyu's worries gradually dissipated. (End of this chapter)
