Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"Chaos is infinite, and life is endless!"

Li Mu growled, his eyes seemed to have stars spinning, he formed seals with his hands, drawing on the source of chaos between heaven and earth, the chaotic energy in the entire domain seemed to be given life, and began to evolve on its own, forming a larger chaotic vortex, swallowing up Master Feng Jian's sword shadows one by one, while releasing even more powerful chaos shocks, attempting to completely tear apart Master Feng Jian's Wind Spirit Domain.

Sword Master Feng stretched out his body, like an elf in the wind, moving freely between the gaps between chaos and sword shadows. Every time he swung his sword, it was extremely precise, pointing directly at the core of the chaotic domain, intending to break this seemingly impeccable chaotic cage. The Qingyuan Dao Sword drew gorgeous tracks in the chaos, and wherever the tip of the sword passed, the chaotic energy was split in two, revealing his extraordinary sword skills.

"The sword's heart is clear, breaking through delusion and seeing the truth!"

Master Feng recited silently in his heart, and the sword intent reached an unprecedented height at this moment, as if it could see through all the vanity in the world and point directly to the essence.

The sword shadows entangled by countless chaotic creatures suddenly burst into dazzling light. The sword lights were like falling stars, carrying destructive power, and forcibly opened up passages in the chaotic domain, heading straight for Li Mu.

Faced with the fierce counterattack from Master Feng, Li Mu was not at all panicked. Instead, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and all the chaotic energy in the Chaos Domain seemed to respond to his call, gathering into an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards Master Feng.

"When chaos returns to one, everything becomes empty!"

Li Mu's voice echoed in the chaos. As he spoke, the chaotic torrent condensed into a huge chaotic hand in the air. Endless chaotic power was entangled on it, as if it could annihilate everything in the world. It slapped down suddenly, aiming directly at Master Feng Jian, vowing to suppress him together with the Feng Ling Domain.

"The sword breaks the sky, only I am the ultimate wind!" Sword Master Feng roared, and his whole body turned into a green sword light, rushing straight towards the hand of chaos. His sword intent reached the extreme at this moment, and launched the most intense collision with the power of chaos. His figure was looming in the chaos, containing the power to cut through all laws, and forcibly opened up a passage, trying to get close to Li Mu's body.

For a moment, in the Chaos Realm, sword lights and magic were intertwined, and the roar was deafening. The entire sacred mountain and the entire world were shaking at this moment.

However, how could Li Mu's Chaos Domain be broken so easily? The Chaos Flood seemed to have endless power, constantly devouring the sword light of Feng Jianzhu. At the same time, those Chaos creatures became more violent, constantly attacking Feng Jianzhu's Wind Spirit Domain, trying to completely destroy it.

Time flies, and several hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

The battle between the two sides intensified. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Li Mu and Feng Jianzhu simultaneously felt a subtle change from heaven and earth. They smiled at each other, tacitly restrained their magic domains, and the fighting intention disappeared in an instant.

"Elder Li, we'll fight again next time!"

Sword Master Feng put away the Qingyuan Dao Sword and looked at Li Mu, indicating with some regret and a sense of wanting more.

He gained a lot from the battle with Li Mu, but he did not get the great opportunity of sudden enlightenment like Master Chen Jian.

Li Mu nodded with a smile: "I have also benefited a lot from fighting with the Sword Master, so I will accompany you!"

As the two men finished speaking, they moved and each withdrew the magic domain surrounding their bodies. The chaotic energy and sharp sword shadows that were originally intertwined seemed to be gently smoothed out by invisible hands and gradually faded out of sight. The world returned to its former peace and tranquility, as if the fierce battle before was just a dream.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, and a figure slowly emerged in front of the two. It was Sword Master Chen. At this moment, his whole body exuded a faint sword spirit and Taoist rhyme, as if he had merged with the world and all things. Every breath was in harmony with the rhythm of the universe, showing that he had entered a new realm.

"Junior Brother Chen... no, you should call me Senior Brother! Congratulations to Senior Brother Chen for breaking through the bottleneck and taking that crucial step!" Sword Master Feng looked at Sword Master Chen and quickly changed his posture, greeting him humbly and solemnly.

"Greetings, Chen Daojun!" Li Mu also stepped forward and expressed his respect and congratulations to Master Chen Jian.

At this moment, Sword Master Chen exuded a faint sword spirit and Taoism, as if breathing with the world. He smiled and helped Sword Master Feng up: "Brother Feng, you don't have to do this. I just happened to be a step ahead. With your qualifications and foundation, I will catch up soon."

"Elder Li, you have been very kind to me, so please don't be distant with me!" As he spoke, Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu gently and gestured.

"No matter what, you came from behind and you deserve to be called senior brother." Master Feng insisted on his opinion, with a bit of admiration and determination in his tone.

"Brother Feng, you are too polite!" Sword Master Chen shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a kind of detached peace: "Besides, although there are different levels of realm, there is no difference in the state of mind and enlightenment. Between you and me, we should attach more importance to the friendship between fellow disciples."

"It is for the sake of the sect's ceremony that we should change the name. This time, Senior Brother Chen has advanced to the Mahayana Dao Sovereign realm. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the sect!" Sword Master Feng insisted on his own opinion and said excitedly: "Since the founding of our sect, there have been only a handful of people who have been able to advance to the Mahayana Dao Sovereign realm. Each breakthrough is a turning point in the rise and fall of the sect. Without further ado, we should quickly report back to the sect and prepare for the promotion ceremony for Senior Brother to boost the morale of the sect!"

The actual situation is indeed like this. Since the unfortunate death of Qinghong Daojun, the pillars of the sect have collapsed, and the sect master has mysteriously lost contact, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing panic among the people in the sect and low morale. This haze is like a heavy dark cloud, weighing heavily on the hearts of every disciple, making the once prosperous sect now filled with an indescribable silence and sorrow.

However, in this despair, a ray of light quietly arrived. The sect had a new Taoist master. If this news spread, it would surely boost the morale of all the disciples in the sect.

Thinking of these benefits, Chen Jianzhu knew that he could no longer refuse. He smiled bitterly and agreed: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

"Elder Li, we will take our leave first and gather together to celebrate the ceremony!" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll send you off, Dao Jun, Sword Master!" Li Mu nodded happily and said politely, "When the time comes, I will definitely give you a treasure that I made myself as a gift!"

"Hahaha, then let me thank Elder Li first!" Sword Master Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he was extremely looking forward to the treasure that Li Mu mentioned.

Immediately, Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng flew into the air and transformed into two sword lights that flew across the sky in the blink of an eye.

After the figures of Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen gradually went away until they completely disappeared from his sight, Li Mu withdrew his gaze and greeted Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, for condensing the Dharma Domain!"

"Congratulations, Sect Master, your magical power has been perfected!" Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin and Ge Xinyu all had sincere smiles on their faces, their eyes flashing with infinite admiration for Li Mu. They stepped forward in unison, bowed, and congratulated Li Mu with excitement and joy.

"Thank you three elders. I still need to go into seclusion for a while. From now on, I will still need your full support for the affairs of the sect." Li Mu smiled and gestured.

"Master, you are too kind. Protecting the sect is our responsibility." Qin Wentong answered on behalf of the three people, his tone firm and sincere, "Please rest assured and retreat. We will do our best to live up to your trust."

Li Mu nodded, his figure flashed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared in the sect master's mansion.

"Brother Li!"

Seeing Li Mu, Xueer led Xiaobai and greeted him enthusiastically.

As soon as Li Mu came out of seclusion, he was dragged by the two sword masters to fight with swords. If he hadn't given any instructions, Xue'er would probably have been unable to suppress her curiosity and followed behind to watch the fun.

Xue'er has an innocent heart, and sword fighting is too intense for her. Moreover, she is about to attract the true spirit thunder tribulation, so her mood should not fluctuate too much. Therefore, Li Mu specifically told Xue'er to wait patiently and not to worry.

"Xue'er, I just came out of seclusion and have some things to deal with. I'll accompany you later." Li Mu said gently with pampering in his eyes.

"Yeah!" Xue'er nodded and watched Li Mu go into the retreat room.

The retreat room was quiet and solemn. Li Mu sat on a cushion with his eyes closed and concentrated. A faint aura of chaos surrounded him. In his sea of ​​consciousness, a scene of the beginning of chaos slowly unfolded.

Li Mu calmed his mind and slowly practiced his technique - Chaos Dao Sutra. His mind was immersed in the vast sea of ​​consciousness and he went deep into the boundless vastness of the Chaos Realm.

As Li Mu breathed in and out, the power of chaos surged in his body. It was a power that transcended the mortal world and touched the origin of the universe, deepening his understanding and control of the realm of chaos. At the same time, he inadvertently touched the essence of the hundreds of arts he practiced. Under the nourishment of the Avenue of Chaos, the skills of alchemy, refining, formations, talismans, etc., all glowed with unprecedented brilliance and produced many changes.

For example, the three thousand divine runes, with the comprehension of the Great Dao of Chaos, hundreds of thousands of incomprehensible divine runes, then reveal their most original laws and mysteries.

Another example is the formations of heaven and earth. Those formations that were originally only theoretical now seem to be given life and are vividly displayed before our eyes. These formations are no longer simple formation diagrams or combinations of formation patterns, but have transformed into the purest energy flow between heaven and earth, echoing with the chaotic realm, presenting a series of exquisite paintings of heaven and earth.

What is even more amazing is that under the guidance of the Avenue of Chaos, Li Mu was able to create entirely new formations of heaven and earth. These formations not only integrated the essence of traditional formations, but also incorporated the unique properties of the power of chaos, making them reach unprecedented heights in power, flexibility, and variability.

Similarly, in the field of weapon refining, Li Mu's skills have already transcended the mundane and reached the level of perfection. With the integration of the power of chaos, it will also bring about earth-shaking changes. Not to mention the integration of the newly comprehended divine patterns, under the enlightenment of the Avenue of Chaos, his understanding and application of weapon refining has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, in the selection of materials for refining instruments, one can sense the uniqueness of every material in the world, whether it is the essence of mountains, rivers, plants, or fragments of stars and meteorites. Using the power of chaos, one can remove impurities from these materials and retain their purest and most essential energy, laying a solid foundation for refining peerless magical instruments. One is no longer limited to traditional refining techniques and steps, but incorporates more principles of the Tao based on the characteristics of the materials and one's own perceptions.

……

In short, Li Mu's mastery of alchemy, weapon refining, formations, talismans, puppetry and other arts have all been given unprecedented vitality and creativity due to the integration of the Great Dao of Chaos.

In addition, for Li Mu, this time of refining the Chaos Domain and stepping into the Avenue of Chaos is undoubtedly a complete transformation in terms of cultivation and combat power.

After condensing the Chaos Domain, although Li Mu's cultivation was still at the peak of the Void Refining Stage, with his profound understanding and application of the Great Dao of Chaos, his combat power had quietly transcended the shackles of the realm and reached a whole new height.

When Li Mu was fighting with Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng who were both in the Fusion Realm, he did it without revealing his Chaos Dao Body. Relying on the power of the Chaos Dharma Realm, he was able to fight the two sword masters to a draw, with no one to tell who was better.

This means that in the two fierce sword fights, Li Mu hid most of his strength. If he had revealed his Chaos Tao Body and fired at full power, defeating them would not be a problem.

Relying on the power of the Great Dao of Chaos, Li Mu is confident that he can deal with it calmly even when facing a strong man at the level of Dao Lord, and can even gain the upper hand in some cases, such as the use of various Taoist instruments, talismans, and formations.

At this time, Li Mu's combat power had far exceeded the scope of the ordinary peak of the Void Refining Realm and reached a very terrifying height.

Under the profound influence of the Great Dao of Chaos, Li Mu's fighting style also underwent a qualitative leap. The Great Dao of Chaos is all-encompassing, not only limited to the power of the Five Elements and the changes of Yin and Yang, but also the rotation of time, the evolution of time and space, the cycle of life and death,... the three thousand great Daos are all included in it.

When it comes to Li Mu's control over the power of the Five Elements, it is no longer a simple matter of mutual promotion and mutual restraint. Instead, he is able to see through their essence and mobilize the spiritual power between heaven and earth at will to form powerful attack and defense techniques.

The changes of yin and yang, one yin and one yang, are mutually rooted. Li Mu can use this to switch between offense and defense in an instant and catch the enemy off guard.

As time passes and time and space evolve, Li Mu can now use these magical powers easily. He can sense the subtle fluctuations of time and even affect the flow of time to a certain extent, giving himself a time advantage. He can travel through different space cracks at will, whether it is to hide his body or to surprise the enemy, he can do it with ease.

As for the cycle of life and death, this is the most mysterious part of the Chaos Avenue; although Li Mu has not fully comprehended its true meaning, he can vaguely feel the boundary between life and death in battle. He can stimulate the hidden vitality in his body at critical moments, making his combat power more unpredictable, and forcing his opponents to always be on guard against the sudden change of life and death when fighting with him.

……

After stepping onto the Avenue of Chaos, the changes in power that Li Mu can control are almost inexhaustible.

Li Mu was deeply immersed in it, trying to analyze all the laws, to understand the interactions and connections between them, and to integrate them into his own practice system. (End of this chapter)
