Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Afterwards, Li Mu took out a piece of animal skin from his sleeve, condensed his magic power, and revealed an extremely complicated formation diagram.

"This diagram shows the layout of the Spiritual Eyes Heavenly Gang Formation and its thirty-six key nodes!"

"The method of refining this formation is extremely complicated. You must first set up the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation' to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the cornerstone of the formation. Then, use the spirit of a high-level monster as a guide to communicate with heaven and earth, and refine the forty-nine spiritual materials one by one until they blend with each other to form an acquired fog spirit."

"Finally, by integrating the Mist Spirit into the 'Spiritual Eyes Heavenly Gang Formation', you will be able to see through all the disturbances around the seal!"

"Next, you all will cooperate with me to set up this formation!"

Li Mu looked at the complicated battle formation in front of him, looked around the field, and gave a detailed introduction.

"Elder Li, please give us any instructions you have! We will definitely complete them as required!" The fourth elder of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jin, felt his scalp tingling when he saw the complicated formation diagram, and said hurriedly.

"Yes! This formation is too exquisite and too complicated. We will just do as you say!" Ji family's third elder, Ji Wuheng, followed up.

……

All the Void-Refining cultivators at the scene nodded in agreement, with awe and anticipation in their eyes. Being able to participate in the arrangement of such a complex and powerful magic array was a rare opportunity to improve their own cultivation and attainments in array formations.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and said calmly: "In that case, I won't be polite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu took out a storage ring from his arms that contained the materials for setting up the formation. With a thought, a huge amount of high-level spiritual materials poured out from the ring like flowing light and floated in the air. Each piece of spiritual material exuded a faint luster and contained rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"First, we need to determine the nine main points and eight auxiliary points of the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array'." Li Mu waved his finger lightly, and nine light spots and eight slightly darker light spots suddenly appeared in the void, distributed in a virtual circular area in an orderly manner.

After that, Li Mu handed over a batch of array pillars and spiritual materials for the array to Fang Yunjian, and said, "Deacon Fang, please be responsible for arranging the Qian, Kan, and Gen palaces in the Nine Palaces."

"Understood!" Fang Yunjian took the order, put away the formation pillars and spiritual materials, and went to the designated location to set up the formation according to Li Mu's instructions.

At the same time, Li Mu pushed another batch of spiritual materials for setting up the formation to Nangong Ming, and solemnly instructed: "Fellow Daoist Nangong, be responsible for setting up the Kun, Zhen, and Li Palaces."

"Yes!" Nangong Ming from the Nangong family took the order and headed in another direction with the spiritual materials.

"Next is the arrangement of Xun, Dui, the Central Palace, and the eight auxiliary positions." Li Mu nodded approvingly, then pointed to other positions in the formation diagram and assigned them to others: "Fellow Daoist Ouyang, you are responsible for arranging the Xun Palace and the four auxiliary positions; Fellow Daoist Ji, you are responsible for the Dui Palace and the remaining four auxiliary positions... Remember, every position needs to be precise and in place, and no mistakes can be made."

Upon hearing this, everyone took orders and began to make arrangements according to Li Mu's instructions.

For a moment, the entire Yin Yang Valley was filled with their busy figures. Everyone performed their duties, and with Li Mu as the leader, they jointly constructed a large magic formation.

Li Mu stood in the center of the formation, using his mind as his eyes, paying close attention to the layout of each array point. Sometimes he used his mind to convey his thoughts and instruct everyone to set up the formation, and sometimes he closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the accuracy of the formation pattern...

Under Li Mu's control, the cultivators were like a piece of sophisticated equipment. They poured out their magical powers, used their thoughts as pens and the world as a map to set up a large magic formation covering dozens of miles.

As time went by, the entire "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array" gradually took shape. The nine main sites and eight auxiliary sites were dotted in the virtual circular area like stars, and each site radiated a dazzling light, forming a perfect resonance between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, this is only the first step in setting up the magic circle.

Next, Li Mu needed to connect these points to form a complete Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array. He formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and the magic power in his body surged out like a tide. The powerful divine consciousness of the Taoist level urged the magic power to activate the eyes of the array one by one, connecting the nine main points and the eight auxiliary points.

The next moment, countless array patterns emerged in the sky above the Yin Yang Valley, shining like stars. Under Li Mu's control, those array patterns seemed to have life. They intertwined and entangled in the void, forming complex and mysterious patterns.

As the core of the formation was activated one by one, the entire "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation" began to operate. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was madly absorbed into the formation, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.

Become!

The monks felt the power of the magic circle and were all shocked. However, this was only the beginning, the real highlight was yet to come.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Mu sent a telepathic signal to everyone, "The spirit formation is complete. Next, we will use the spirits of high-level monsters as a guide to communicate with heaven and earth, and refine forty-nine kinds of spirit materials to form the acquired mist spirit."

Hearing this, everyone stepped aside to watch. From then on, they could no longer intervene.

Li Mu took out a pre-prepared altar from his storage ring and placed it in the center of the magic circle. Then, he waved his hand and condensed a ball of five elements spiritual fire.

At this moment, Li Mu's expression became extremely solemn. He walked slowly to the altar. At the same time, he took out a jade bottle that sealed the spirit of a high-level monster from his storage ring. He gently rotated it, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the mouth of the bottle, transforming into an illusory monster. It was bound in the air, full of fear, but unable to struggle, as if it was controlled by a powerful restraining force.

"This is the spirit of the seventh-level Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf King, and it will serve as the spirit of this formation." Li Mu whispered to everyone, then formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and magic power poured into the altar endlessly.

Soon, Li Mu used the five elements spiritual fire as a medium, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, to refine forty-nine kinds of spiritual materials, allowing them to merge with the spirit and soul to form the acquired fog spirit.

Under Li Mu's careful control, the five elements spiritual fire burned fiercely, illuminating the space on the altar brightly.

Under the guidance of Li Mu's magic power, forty-nine kinds of spiritual materials were thrown into the flames one by one. Accompanied by bursts of slight explosions, they began to melt gradually, releasing their own unique aura and power of laws.

These spiritual energies and forces of laws intertwined and collided in the air, as if a silent contest was going on.

However, under the suppression of Li Mu's powerful divine consciousness and magic power, they were eventually tamed one by one, and gradually merged into a pure and powerful energy flow, converging towards the spirit of the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf King in the center of the altar.

When the spirit of the Nether Howling Moon Wolf King felt the approach of this energy, its originally frightened expression gradually became calm, and even revealed a hint of expectation, as if it knew that this was its chance to break free from its shackles and regain a new life. Under Li Mu's guidance, this energy flow slowly penetrated into the spirit, and began a deep fusion with its internal will and power.

During the whole process, the light on the altar became brighter and brighter, and countless rays of light intertwined into mysterious patterns in the void, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

The monks stood in the distance, watching this scene quietly, their hearts filled with awe, watching Li Mu complete such a large-scale and complex magic array step by step.

Next, they will witness the creation of the "Spirit Eye Tiangang Formation".

Time passed by little by little, three days, seven days,...

Until the early morning of the tenth day, the light above the altar in the Yin Yang Valley finally reached an unprecedented peak, so bright and dazzling that it almost illuminated the sky.

Under the illumination of this light, the entire valley seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist, and that mist contained endless spiritual energy and fluctuations of laws.

Li Mu stood beside the altar with a solemn and focused expression and his eyes closed, as if he was having some kind of deep communication with the spirit of the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf King in the altar. The light on the altar began to gather into a thick pillar of light, rushing straight into the sky, drawing in all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, forming a more spectacular spiritual energy vortex.

Under the influence of this force, the spirit of the Nether Howling Moon Wolf King gradually merged with the energy flow transformed by the forty-nine spiritual materials, forming an illusory yet solid wolf-shaped mist spirit. This wolf-shaped mist spirit was surrounded by a faint spiritual light, and its eyes were shining with the light of wisdom and power. It seemed that it was no longer a simple spirit, but a formation spirit with new consciousness and powerful power.

Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hands, instantly extinguishing the five elements spiritual fire on the altar. At the same time, he injected all his magic power and divine consciousness into the wolf-shaped mist spirit, guiding it to slowly merge into the "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array".

With the integration of the wolf-shaped fog spirit, the entire "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation" once again underwent earth-shaking changes.

The already powerful spiritual energy fluctuations became even more turbulent, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking. Under the influence of this force, the thirty-six key nodes of the "Spiritual Eyes Heavenly Gang Formation" began to be activated one by one, emitting dazzling light.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the wolf-shaped mist spirit and the "Spirit Eye Tiangang Formation" merged perfectly, forming a huge and complex magic formation, which condensed into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

This beam of light illuminated every inch of Yin Yang Valley and formed an eye-shaped pattern in the sky, as if the will of heaven and earth was paying attention to the entire Ling Valley at this moment.

As the altar's spiritual light faded, a jade plate appeared in Li Mu's hand. It was engraved with intricate runes and emitted a faint glow, as if echoing the "eye" in the sky.

"This is the formation card of the 'Spiritual Eyes Heavenly Gang Formation.'" Li Mu's voice was steady and powerful. He gently raised the formation card and showed it to everyone. "It can warn of the fluctuations of spiritual energy in real time. It can also be used to detect the movements within a thousand miles around Yin Yang Valley at any time. No matter whether it is a human or a monster, or even the subtle changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they cannot escape its surveillance."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yunjian and others were amazed, knowing that this formation board was the control center of the "Spirit Eye Tiangang Formation" and was also an important tool for them to guard the Yin Yang Valley and explore the unknown in the future.

As he spoke, Li Mu handed the formation card to Fang Yunjian.

Fang Yunjian took the formation card, slowly injected magic power into it, and silently recited an area around Yin Yang Valley in his mind.

A moment later, a clear picture emerged in Fang Yunjian's mind. Whether it was the mountains, rivers, plants, insects, or fish, they were all lifelike, as if they were right in front of him. The range was many times larger than when he personally used his divine sense to explore.

"It's really shocking!" Fang Yunjian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The power of the "Spirit Eye Tiangang Formation" was far beyond his imagination.

"The 'Spirit Eyes Heavenly Gang Formation' early warning formation has been set up. Next, I am going to set up another protective formation. If the forces of the Demon Abyss attack, I can help you to resist the enemy with one against a hundred, delaying time and waiting for rescue." Li Mu smiled and gestured to everyone.

"I don't know, Elder Li, what kind of protective formation are you going to set up?" Elder Sword - Yun Yi looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

This time, Elder Jian - Yun Yi is the only combined cultivator stationed in Yin Yang Valley. However, the power of the Demon Abyss is coming in full force, and the appearance of a Mahayana Taoist is not impossible. Therefore, although he is confident, he can't help feeling a little nervous.

Compared to the early warning formation, Sword Elder Yun Yi was more looking forward to Li Mu's display of superb formation skills to set up a powerful protective formation for this place.

Li Mu's eyes swept over Yun Yi and the other cultivators' faces one by one. Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, he smiled and responded: "The protective formation I am going to set up is an ancient strange formation - the 'Burning Sun Killing Formation'. This formation is extraordinary. It takes advantage of the terrain of the Yin Yang Valley, uses the mountain as its backbone, and uses this spiritual vein as its foundation. It also uses the extremely yang energy to exert its power of killing formation."

"Burning Sun Killing Formation?" Yun Yi and the cultivators present all looked stern upon hearing this. Although there were many among them who had dabbled in formations, the name of 'Burning Sun Killing Formation' was well-known even to those experienced cultivators.

As the name suggests, this formation is centered on yang force, condensing the yang energy between heaven and earth to the extreme, forming a hot pure yang domain, which can exorcise demons and evil spirits and is invincible. Even righteous cultivators cannot be destroyed by the endless burning yang force.

"Yes, it is the 'Burning Sun Killing Formation'. Once this formation is set up, it will not only be able to resist foreign enemies, but also launch a counterattack at the critical moment and catch the invaders in one fell swoop." When Li Mu said this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

This formation was indeed extremely powerful, and with the blessing of this protective formation, their confidence in stationing here would undoubtedly increase greatly. But at the same time, the monks could not help but have some doubts in their hearts.

Elder Jian-Yun Yi's eyes flashed with worry, and he looked at Li Mu in confusion and asked: "Elder Li, it is good that you can use the advantages of this place to set up such a killing formation, but won't it damage the Jiyang Sealing Formation! If the Sealing Formation fails because of this, wouldn't we be sinners!"

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled lightly, as if he had expected this question, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone. Although this formation has borrowed the extreme yang formation power here, it consumes less than one ten-thousandth of it, and it will not have much impact on the seal formation."

"What's more, the Burning Sun Killing Formation needs everyone's leadership, and its power is under everyone's control. If we use this formation to defend against the enemy, we only need to make slight adjustments so that it can only target the enemy without hurting the Yin Yang Valley at all." Li Mu explained.

After hearing this, the doubts in the monks' hearts were completely dispelled.

"In this case, we will fully cooperate with Elder Li and jointly complete the deployment of the 'Burning Sun Killing Formation'." Yun Yi quickly expressed his opinion.

The other monks also nodded, expressing their willingness to fully support.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, using his sword as a pen and his thoughts as ink to imprint complex array patterns on the wall of Yin Yang Valley. (End of this chapter)
