Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After a few days, the 'Burning Sun Killing Formation' gradually took shape in Li Mu's hands.

"Everyone, please follow me and inject your spiritual power into these array pillars to help me." Li Mu suddenly stopped carving the array patterns. His voice echoed in the valley, signaling everyone.

Upon hearing this, the thirteen Void Refining cultivators present immediately followed Li Mu's instructions and dispersed to various key positions. They formed seals with their hands, and their spiritual energy surged like a trickle of water flowing into a river, pouring into the thirteen formation pillars.

With the addition of everyone's spiritual power, the array pillars, together with the array patterns engraved on the stone walls in the valley, began to emit dazzling light. The extreme yang power in the Yin-Yang Valley was introduced into it and fused, gradually forming a huge flame totem. In the center of the totem, a scorching sun seemed to leap out of the void, releasing terrifying power to burn the sky and boil the sea.

"Activate the Burning Sun Killing Formation!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, formed a complicated seal with his hands, and swung forward suddenly.

In an instant, the entire Yin Yang Valley was enveloped by a brilliant sun flame. The scorching sun seemed to break free from its restraints and exploded from the totem, transforming into a thick golden light column that shot straight into the sky, dyeing the sky red. Wherever the light column passed, the space seemed to be distorted by the high temperature, and the air exploded with bursts of roars, as if thunder was incessant.

Ouyang Jin, Ji Wuheng and the others only felt that the spiritual power in their bodies surged out like a tide, but they also felt an unprecedented resonance of power at this moment. Under Li Mu's guidance, their minds became one and perfectly integrated with the formation, causing the power of the Fen Yang Killing Formation to continue to rise, approaching the limit of heaven and earth.

"It's done! Elder Li is so amazing. Once this formation is completed, even a Mahayana cultivator will find it difficult to resist its power!"

Elder Jian - Yun Yi stared at the scorching sun, a trace of irrepressible excitement on his face, and said with emotion.

As the column of light rose, the climate in the Yin Yang Valley reversed instantly. The originally mild valley now became unbearably hot. Even the moisture in the air was evaporated, leaving it dry and scorched. The monsters that had been hiding in the dark now fled in terror, as if they sensed that the end of the world was approaching.

"Everyone, next, let's practice this formation and get familiar with it! Now, I will guide everyone to feel the pulse of this Burning Sun Killing Formation together." Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and his mind sank into the formation, starting to establish a closer connection with everyone.

Ouyang Jin, Ji Wuheng and other Void Refining cultivators followed closely behind. They integrated their spiritual thoughts with Li Mu's guidance and tried to sense the subtle changes in the formation.

As they went deeper, the operating rules of the Burning Sun Killing Array gradually became clear in their minds.

The Burning Sun Killing Formation contained a total of eighteen variations of formations, each of which was a wonderful interpretation of the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. At this moment, under the leadership of Li Mu, they displayed their terrifying power one by one, gathering the power of thirteen Void Refining Monks and the Extreme Yang Land.

The first move, "Rising Sun", saw the golden light column transformed into countless tiny golden fire lines, like the rising sun penetrating the clouds, sharp and warm, but containing enough power to melt everything, everything it touched was reduced to ashes.

The second move, "Yang Yan Burning the Wilderness", the golden fire lines interweave into a web, covering the entire valley, forming an endless sea of ​​fire. The heat wave is surging, even the spiritual energy in the void is evaporated completely. In the dead silence, only the sound of the raging flames echoes.

The third force is "Solar Eclipse Sky". The sky seems to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. A black hole appears quietly, swallowing up the surrounding light. In the center of this darkness, the scorching sun of the Burning Sun Killing Array is even more dazzling, as if it is the only light, fighting against the chaos of the universe with unparalleled force.

As the formation continued to change, the fourth move, "Flame Dragon Roaring at the Sky", the golden flames condensed into the shape of a dragon, hovering in the sky. The dragon's roar was deafening, and every breath was a devastating fire storm, branding every inch of land in the valley with the mark of the burning sun.

The fifth move is “Yang Wheel Reincarnation”, the scorching sun turns into a huge golden flywheel, releasing countless light blades that cut through space during its rotation, each of which is enough to cut through mountains and rivers, making space itself tremble.

……

Until the eighteenth posture, "Burning Sun Returning to Silence", all the violent energy reached its peak at this moment, and then suddenly converged, turning into a point of extremely bright light, as if all the power of the whole world was concentrated there.

Afterwards, the light slowly dissipated, leaving behind silence and peace, but everyone knew that this was just the calmness of the Burning Sun Killing Array ready to go, and the next outbreak would be even more terrifying.

During the practice of this series of formations, the spiritual thoughts of cultivators such as Ouyang Jin and Ji Wuheng became more and more in tune with the Burning Sun Killing Formation, and their understanding of the formations reached an unprecedented level, as if everyone could feel that a subtle and powerful connection had been established between themselves and this world, and this Burning Sun Killing Formation.

“Everyone, you are already familiar with the changes in the Burning Yang Killing Formation! If there are still some points you don’t understand, feel free to ask and I will answer them one by one.” Li Mu stopped practicing the Burning Yang Killing Formation and looked at everyone and asked.

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. I will answer them one by one." Li Mu's voice rang in everyone's mind, with a hint of gentleness and encouragement. His eyes swept over every Void Refining cultivator, and seeing their faces either thoughtful or excited, he could not help but feel relieved.

"Elder Li, I have a question." Ji Wuheng took a step forward and said seriously, "In the 'Yanglun Rebirth' move, the scorching sun turns into a flywheel. If we encounter an enemy with a strong escape technique, will this move still work as it should?"

Li Mu nodded slightly and praised, "Good question, Fellow Daoist Ji. Indeed, the ability of escape technique can resist or even avoid this formation to a certain extent. But the subtlety of the Burning Sun Killing Formation lies in its infinite changes. The eighteen changes can be connected to each other to form a chain of attacks. When facing such an enemy, you can quickly switch to the 'Flame Dragon Roaring Sky' or 'Solar Eclipse Sky', using the raging flames and the interweaving of light and darkness to disrupt their spiritual perception, and then use the 'Yang Wheel Reincarnation' to greatly enhance its power."

Everyone nodded in unison, and they all understood what Li Mu said.

Ouyang Jin then asked, "Elder Li, if in actual combat, the enemy has strong cultivation and attacks the Burning Sun Killing Formation, how should we respond?"

"This is also a key issue." Li Mu's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the Burning Sun Killing Array is strong, it is still possible to be damaged in the face of absolute power. Therefore, once the enemy's intention to attack is discovered, immediately activate the 'Burning Sun Protective Wall' - this is the hidden defensive force of the Burning Sun Killing Array, which can instantly form a layer of shield covering the entire array, enough to withstand several full-strength attacks from Mahayana cultivators. At the same time, we must also quickly adjust the formation, use offense as defense, and use the extremely sunny terrain to exhaust the enemy."

"Elder Li, ..."

……

Everyone asked Li Mu a series of questions. As Li Mu answered them, their doubts gradually disappeared and their understanding of the Fen Yang Killing Formation became deeper.

After everyone's questions were answered, Li Mu smiled slightly, turned his gaze to the Burning Sun Killing Formation that was still emitting a faint residual warmth, and said: "Everyone, if there is no problem, you can continue to practice! I will go into the sealed area to check the situation of the seal formation."

"Elder Li, do you need me to accompany you in?" Elder Jian - Yun Yi looked at Li Mu and said with concern.

Li Mu shook his head and declined with a smile: "No need, Elder Yun, there are many powerful restrictions in the sealed land. Too many people may cause unnecessary trouble. I will go alone, which will be more flexible and easier to deal with." Hearing this, Yun Yi was still a little worried, but seeing Li Mu's firm expression, he could not say anything more, so he nodded and said: "Then Elder Li must be careful. If you encounter danger, be sure to send a message in time. We will definitely go to support you with all our strength."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, then his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the passage to the sealed place deep in the Yin Yang Valley.

Li Mu flew for dozens of miles in the passage, passing through one restriction after another. The scorching yang energy hit his face, becoming stronger and stronger until a huge circular plaza came into view.

In the center of the square stands an ancient and magnificent altar, engraved with intricate runes and patterns, shining with golden light, like the sun blooming in the night sky.

In the center of the altar, a huge Bagua formation slowly rotated. Each corner was connected to a chain condensed from pure yang energy. The other end of the chain was deeply rooted in the ground, pulling in some unspeakable power.

As Li Mu approached, the air around him began to distort and heat waves rolled, as if he was under the scorching sun. Even with his current cultivation level at the peak of the Void Refining Realm, he had to use all his strength to practice the Chaos Dao Sutra to resist the high temperature that could almost melt gold and stone.

Li Mu's gaze pierced through the heat waves and finally saw the sun's gold suspended in the center of the Bagua formation - a treasure that emitted dazzling golden light, as if it had condensed all the light and heat between heaven and earth into one.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the properties of the blazing white crystal core appeared before his eyes.

With this divine object, one can condense the Sun Dao that penetrates Yin and Yang and burns all things, and achieve the supreme masculine way. ]

After confirming that the Extreme Yang Sealing Array was intact and the status of the ninth-rank Extreme Yang divine object was intact, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. His figure flashed, and he could not wait to use his magical power - the Sky-Splitting Technique, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Soon, Li Mu appeared next to a large spiritual field that was lush and full of spiritual energy.

This spiritual field is extremely large, covering thousands of acres, and is planted with various high-level spiritual plants. Each spiritual plant exudes extremely rich yang energy and shines brightly, like a living golden ocean. The air is filled with the faint aroma of spiritual medicine, which makes people feel relaxed and happy and refreshed.

The sixth-rank 'Fiery Sun Spirit Grass' has flame-red leaves that contain pure yang fire power. Taking it can greatly enhance the practitioner's fire-attributed spiritual roots. The vast expanses of Fiery Sun Spirit Grass look like burning plains of fire, hot and dazzling. The grass leaves sway gently, as if countless small flames are jumping, releasing strands of yang fire power, making the entire spiritual field shrouded in a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

Not far away, a field of seventh-grade 'Golden Sun Spiritual Ginseng' is even more eye-catching; their roots are thick and their leaves are golden, like pieces of gold inlaid in the earth, emitting a soft but extremely pure golden light; Golden Sun Ginseng is an essential material for refining high-level yang-attributed elixirs. The yang energy contained in it is gentle and lasting, and can nourish the body, purify spiritual power, and the realm of law. It is a dream spiritual object for the cultivators of the Void Refining Sect.

Li Mu's eyes shuttled across the spiritual fields, examining the conditions of those high-level yang-attributed spiritual plants one by one. Their growth was undoubtedly excellent and full of vitality. It was obvious that under the nourishment of the extreme yang power of the sun's refined gold, they were able to thrive in the best condition.

Under the innate supernatural power - identifying all spirits, the properties, status, and medicinal age of each high-level spiritual plant appeared in Li Mu's eyes one by one.

……

As far as his eyes could see, the attributes of dozens of high-level yang-attribute spiritual plants of level five, level six, and level seven appeared one by one in Li Mu's eyes.

It will take some time for these spiritual plants to mature. However, the seven sealed places at the extreme limits are now threatened by the forces of the Demon Abyss, so people have to be stationed in these places. If a war breaks out, these spiritual plants that have taken hundreds of years to plant will surely be destroyed. Li Mu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency and crisis in his heart.

Li Mu frowned and pondered, wondering whether to take this opportunity to transplant a batch of spiritual plants into the Painting World Treasure House to avoid putting all his "eggs" in one basket and ending up with nothing. (End of this chapter)
