Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"who!"

"Who are these thirteen alarm bells ringing for?"

At the scene, Qi Xuanming, Qiu Yuanhong, Li Mu, a group of sword elders, and high-level officials of Xuantian Sword Sect all had solemn expressions, with panic and anger flashing in their eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, as if a string could break at any time.

Xuantian Sword Sect, as the overlord of the spiritual world - Zhongzhou, currently has five Mahayana Dao Lords. In addition to Qi Xuanming Dao Lord who is present, there are four more outside. The Xuantian Sect Master has been missing for three hundred years. The other three are hunting down the Mahayana demon cultivators from the Moyuan and destroying the formation that invaded this world.

If it's one of them, the other two would probably be in danger!

"Could it be... Could it be Chen Daojun and the others?" There was a tremor of disbelief in Qiu Yuanhong's voice.

Just as everyone was disturbed by the sudden alarm, a disciple with a solemn face hurried into the hall and reported with a voice that was difficult to conceal the sorrow: "Qi Daojun, elders, something terrible has happened! In the Patriarch's Hall, Feng Daojun's soul lamp has gone out. He, he has passed away!"

"what!"

There was an instant cry of surprise in the hall, and everyone was shocked, their eyes full of disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" There was a hint of despair in Qiu Yuanhong's voice. He knew Feng Daojun's strength and status very well. His death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Xuantian Sword Sect.

"Senior Brother Feng!" Qi Xuanming's face turned ashen in an instant. He clenched his fists, and the might of the Mahayana Master could not help but burst out, shrouding the scene in a terrifying pressure, and the air even froze.

"Chen Daojun, how about Feng Daojun's soul lamp? Is there anything different?" Li Mu's heart tightened and he looked at the disciple and asked.

"There's nothing wrong with their soul lamps! In the Patriarch's Hall, only Feng Daojun's soul lamp is extinguished. The situation is urgent, so I'll report it first." The disciple replied with a pale face and a trembling voice.

"You keep watching! If anything happens, report it immediately!" Li Mu nodded and gave the order quickly.

"Yes, Grand Elder!" The disciple nodded quickly as if he had been pardoned, turned around and left quickly.

Just as the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, the uneasiness in everyone's hearts was like a wildfire that was difficult to quell. At this time, Qi Xuanming suddenly stood up.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Qi Xuanming's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. He said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Feng has fallen. Senior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Feng must not be in a better situation. I will bring the Xuantian Sword to help them!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yuanhong was horrified and quickly dissuaded him, "Brother Qi, don't be reckless! Although the Xuantian Sword is powerful, only the Sect Master can unleash its full power. It is too dangerous for you to go alone to support!"

"Yes, Brother Qi, this matter requires long-term consideration and we cannot act on impulse. Perhaps, we can send an elite team to investigate first and then make a decision." Elder Jian - Xiao Shuang suggested.

"Qi Daojun, the safety of the seven sealed places is the key right now, and you are still needed to take charge!" Xu Wen, deputy leader of Taiyi Sect, advised hurriedly.

"..."

All the clan leaders and patriarchs present spoke out to advise.

Qi Xuanming shook his head, his eyes firm, and said, "I have made up my mind!"

"Time waits for no one. Every moment of delay will put Senior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Feng in more danger. Elder Li, the safety of the seven sealed places is now in your hands," Qi Xuanming looked at Li Mu and said sincerely. Then he glanced at everyone present and said solemnly, "Everyone, this matter concerns the safety of our world. You must cooperate with us with all your strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xuanming flew out of the hall and headed to the Burial Sword Peak to ask for the Xuantian Sword.

The next moment, a sharp sword intent rose up into the sky and broke through the clouds. It was Qi Xuanming at the top of the Burial Sword Peak, communicating with the Xuantian Sword with his supreme will and activating the astonishing sword intent contained within it, so that the entire Xuantian Sword Sect and even the surrounding spiritual world could feel this shocking sword intent fluctuation.

On the Buried Sword Peak, Qi Xuanming closed his eyes and concentrated, conducting some mysterious communication with the Xuantian Sword. The sword gradually emitted a dazzling light, resonating with Qi Xuanming's will. Finally, accompanied by a crisp sword sound, the Xuantian Sword slowly rose into the air and automatically flew into Qi Xuanming's hands.

The moment he held the Xuantian Sword, Qi Xuanming's aura instantly soared, and an indescribable majesty and power enveloped his whole body, as if he had become the master of heaven and earth. When he opened his eyes, his body flashed, and he had already controlled the Xuantian Sword to turn into a sword light, cutting through the sky and heading straight to the Nine Netherworlds outside the domain.

Seeing Qi Xuanming leave resolutely, Li Mu was a little worried, but he admired his resolute attitude of risking his life to save others.

"Everyone, Qi Daojun has gone to assist Chen Daojun and Feng Daojun. Next, we need to quickly advance the deployment of formations in the seven sealed places." Li Mu's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall, awakening everyone from the shock of Qi Xuanming's departure.

"Elder Li, please tell me how we should cooperate!"

The head of the Kun family, Kun Yuanba, was the first to stand up and responded in a loud voice.

"That's right! Elder Li's formation skills are unparalleled, and the materials for setting up the formation have been gathered. We will definitely go all out!"

……

All the clan leaders and patriarchs present responded, looked at Li Mu eagerly, and waited for his arrangements.

"Then I won't be polite! The seven extreme sealed places are separated by 18,000 miles. Each sealed place is not easy to lose. In addition to setting up the early warning array - Lingtong Tiangang Array and the land protection array, an elite force is also needed to be stationed for a long time." Li Mu looked around at everyone, his eyes flashing with determination, and continued: "I propose that each major sect and family each select elite disciples to form seven teams and go to the seven sealed places respectively. Each team must include array masters, alchemists, combat monks, etc. to ensure that they can deal with various emergencies."

Li Mu then made arrangements: "The Extreme Gold Land and the Extreme Wood Land are located in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Region. The Extreme Gold Land is under the jurisdiction of the Xuantian Sword Sect. We are personally responsible for it and will send the strongest team led by Elder Xiao Shuang to guard this place."

"Chief Ji, Chief Nangong, Chief Shangguan, the land of Jimu is near the territories of your three major families, so your three families and your elite disciples from each faction should jointly guard it!" After a pause, Li Mu looked at the chiefs of the three major families and gestured.

"The Land of Extreme Fire and the Land of Extreme Yang are located in the Southern Wilderness, which is the farthest from Zhongzhou. Once something happens, we will definitely not be able to provide timely support, so we need to select the most reliable and powerful team to guard them." "The Land of Extreme Water is located in the Wanxing Sea, and the Land of Extreme Earth is located in the east of the Huanhai. These two places are also remote and have special environments. They need to be guarded by sects that are good at the corresponding fields. But before that, let's solve the problems of Extreme Fire and Extreme Yang first." Li Mu's eyes swept over the crowd and began to arrange the garrison mission.

……

A few days later, hundreds of spirit ships gathered in the sky above the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm. Each spirit ship was loaded with elite disciples and abundant resources. They looked at him with enthusiastic eyes, and each of them was fully prepared and ready to go.

Li Mu stood on the deck of the flagship, gazing at the vast land with a sharp gaze, his heart filled with emotion.

In Li Mu's heart, he just wanted to find a place to hide, farm quietly, and improve his cultivation silently. However, the current situation pushed him to the forefront step by step. Now he has become a key figure in leading many sects and cultivation families in Zhongzhou to resist foreign enemies and guard the seal.

What a trick of fate!

Li Mu sighed, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and turned to look at the hundreds of spirit ships ready to go, and decisively ordered: "Move out!"

Following Li Mu's order, hundreds of spirit warships shot through the sky like arrows and headed towards the depths of the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm. On the spirit warships, the disciples each performed their duties, and the entire fleet was in order and magnificent.

As the fleet was moving, Li Mu activated his Star Hiding Ability - he used his divine sense to scan the entire fleet unnoticed to ensure that the fleet was safe.

Suddenly, Li Mu noticed two familiar figures on the fleet and couldn't help laughing. He immediately sent a message to them, inviting them to come to the flagship for a chat.

Soon, two figures appeared on the deck of the flagship. They were the Lianxu monks Tian Shang and Kun Ling. They were dressed in gorgeous robes, with bright smiles on their faces, and their eyes revealed the joy of meeting old friends again.

"It's been a long time since we last met. It's a rare opportunity for us to meet today. Come and have some tea and reminisce about the past!" Li Mu held a cup of spiritual tea in his hand and gestured to Tian Shang and Kun Ling with a smile.

Tian Shang hurried forward, picked up the spiritual tea on the table and said happily: "Little friend Li, no, Elder Li, it's been many years since we last met, and you are still as charming as ever!"

Kun Ling walked up to Li Mu with big strides, and said with joy in her eyes, "Yes! It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect that you have surpassed us both in cultivation!"

After saying that, Kun Ling drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, feeling extremely happy.

Looking back to the time when he first met Li Mu, his cultivation was only at the early Nascent Soul stage. At that time, he had promised Li Mu that as long as he entered the Kun family, he would help him advance to the God Transformation stage within 500 years and to the Refining Void stage within a thousand years.

However, less than three or four hundred years later, Li Mu's cultivation has surpassed them, and he has achieved the late stage of refining emptiness, and is only one step away from entering the state of integration. At the same time, he is also the supreme elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect, the largest sect in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Region. He can refine Taoist soldiers and is good at setting up magic arrays. His status is extremely noble.

Now that they met again, Tian Shang and Kun Ling couldn't help but feel a little emotional and sighing.

"Time flies, and Elder Li has changed so much!" Tian Shang sighed softly, his eyes flashing with memories of the past. Back then, Li Mu was just a rookie, but now he is a prominent figure in Zhongzhou Spirit Realm. It really makes people feel deeply moved.

"Yes, Elder Li's cultivation speed is truly amazing. Although the two of us have also been working hard to cultivate, the difference compared to you is like heaven and earth!" Kun Ling nodded in agreement.

"Two old friends, it's a rare opportunity for us to meet today, no need to be polite!"

Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be so humble. He had other reasons for being able to get to where he is today, and he did not want to continue on this topic.

Therefore, Li Mu changed the subject and led the conversation to a deeper discussion of spiritual practice in order to divert excessive attention from past achievements.

"Speaking of which, the three of us have now entered the realm of refining emptiness. I wonder if you two old friends have any unique insights or experiences on the practice of this realm? Why don't we sit down and discuss it, perhaps we can inspire each other." Li Mu looked at Tian Shang with a smile, and Kun Ling gestured.

Hearing this, Tian Shang's eyes lit up, and he was obviously quite interested in this question.

"What Elder Li said is very true. The realm of refining emptiness is mysterious and unpredictable. Although we have some insights, we always feel that we have not reached its peak. I, Tian Shang, have made great progress in the condensation of the refining emptiness domain in recent years. The domain is a unique earth element domain that we, the refining emptiness cultivators, have constructed by communicating the laws of heaven and earth with our own will."

"I tried to integrate the 'Escape Technique' into my domain of law, so that the space inside the domain of law is distorted and it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. Once the enemy steps in, it is like being trapped in an endless maze and unable to extricate themselves." Tian Shang said, with a confident light flashing in his eyes. It is obvious that he is quite proud of his domain of law.

Kun Ling shook his head slightly to show his disagreement, and said in a deep voice: "The Dharma Realm is related to the original Dao. It is unwise to integrate other methods and change its fundamentals. I take wind and fire as my Dao. Only by pursuing the extremes of wind and fire can I comprehend the true meaning of the Dharma Realm."

……

Lord Kun Ling talked incessantly about his insights and gains in the Lianxu Realm and his path of cultivation.

After hearing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed with enlightenment, but he was still a little dissatisfied. The method practiced by the two was within his grasp, and he still had not yet touched the next realm, the fusion realm.

"The two old friends' domains have their own merits, and both are outstanding among the Void Refining cultivators. Tian Shang's domain has distorted space, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, making it hard to defend against; while Kun Ling's domain has wind and fire intertwined, pursuing the ultimate way, which is breathtaking! However, solidifying the domain, breaking through the illusion and entering the reality, and advancing to the fusion realm are the common problems we face!" Li Mu sighed as he looked at the two of them, and asked with concern: "I wonder if you have any unique insights or insights into the fusion realm? Perhaps we can brainstorm and jointly find a way to break through."

Li Mu has now reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. However, the difficulty of advancing from the Chaos Realm he cultivated to the Fusion Realm is hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary Void Refinement cultivators. Therefore, he urgently needs to refer to the experiences and insights of other Void Refinement cultivators in order to find clues to break through his own bottleneck.

Hearing this, Tian Shang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Although I have not yet reached the state of fusion, I have deduced it in my mind countless times. In my opinion, the key to the state of fusion lies in how to perfectly integrate the spiritual realm with the physical body to achieve the highest realm of unity between man and nature. Perhaps we can start with the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and find a trace of the laws of heaven and earth that are in line with our own way, and use this as a bridge to connect the spiritual consciousness and the physical body."

After hearing this, Kun Ling nodded slightly and added his own insights: "What Tian Shang said makes sense, but whether one can advance to the fusion realm depends on the change of the law domain. The physical body is not important, and the resonance between the soul and the law is the key. I once felt a subtle connection between the power of wind and fire and the laws of heaven and earth during a retreat. That feeling is like entering the Dao domain of the fusion realm, completely integrating one's soul with the laws of heaven and earth..., and making the power of the law become a part of oneself. Only in this way can one break through the void and enter the reality and step into the fusion realm."

After hearing this, Li Mu's eyes flickered and he pondered secretly in his heart. At the same time, he told the two of them about his own experience.

The three of them sat and discussed, brainstorming for the difficulties of advancing to the Fusion Realm. Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The vast expanse of Zhongzhou Spiritual Territory passed by them at high speed, but the three people on the deck seemed to be in a static environment, with only their thoughts constantly colliding and blending. (End of this chapter)
