Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Just when Li Mu and Qing Yangzi were learning the information about the Jiuyou Demon Emperor.

At this time, in the core area outside the domain, a fierce battle was going on.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor stood in the void, his figure tall and obscured by the thick Nine Nether aura, his true form not revealed. He waved his hand casually, and a large amount of Nine Nether aura was continuously injected into the Nine Nether Formation. In the Nine Nether Formation, one Nine Nether evil corpse after another condensed out of thin air. They were wearing black robes, their eyes were red, and they held weapons filled with terrifying demonic energy. Like dead soldiers returning from hell, they madly charged towards several people in the formation, with murderous intent all over the sky.

In the Nine Nether Formation, the leader of the Xuantian Sword Sect held the Xuantian Sword in his hand, and the sword light was like a dragon. The Xuantian Sword suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and turned into a huge light sword dragon, hovering in the air, making a deafening dragon roar, and then suddenly swooped down, instantly devouring a group of Nine Nether evil corpses, turning them into nothingness.

Dafo Temple - The holy monk Renhui holds the treasure of the temple - the vajra, and his whole body radiates golden Buddha light, just like a living Buddha walking in the world; he recites scriptures, and the vajra grows bigger, emitting dazzling golden light, and each strike is accompanied by a thunderous roar, which shatters the rushing Nine Nether Evil Corpses one by one and turns them into ashes.

"Amitabha, may Buddha have mercy on us!" The benevolent and wise monk had a gentle voice, and the Buddha domain unfolded, instantly purifying all evil, causing the surrounding Nine Netherworld corpses to appear much slower when approaching him.

At the same time, the Taiyi Sect-Lingyun Taoist priest held the sect's treasure-Taiyi Divine Pearl in his hand, and released endless spiritual energy fluctuations. Lingyun Taoist priest closed his eyes and concentrated, raised Taiyi Divine Pearl high, and silently chanted a spell. Taiyi Divine Pearl burst out with dazzling light and turned into a huge spiritual power shield, firmly protecting the people in the formation and the surrounding area.

"Taiyi Divine Light, protect my mind and soul, and I am immune to all evil!"

Taoist Lingyun's voice was deep and powerful. As his words fell, the divine light shield became stronger and stronger. Even the Nine Nether Evil Corpse controlled by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor could not break through it at all. It guarded the people fighting at all times.

At this moment, the three Dao Lords displayed their unique skills one after another.

Chen Qingxuan, with the Gengjin Dao sword in his hand, a giant golden tiger roared out, and wherever the tiger's shadow passed, the Nine Nether Evil Corpses were all turned into powder. The Gengjin Qi was so sharp that even the space was cut open, showing his powerful strength as a Gengjin Dao body.

Feng Wuhen, the sword light of Qinghong Dao Sword became brighter, the sword intent transformed into a green dragon tumbling in the air, the sound of the dragon's roar shocked the sky, every strike contained the ultimate power of the origin of wind, strangling the Nine Nether Evil Corpses that rushed over one by one, wherever Fenghen went, the evil spirit dissipated, leaving behind a clear and bright scene.

Qi Xuanming, holding the Taixuan Dao Sword, set up an exquisite sword formation. In the sword formation, the sword light flickered, the sword intent was everywhere, and each flying sword seemed to have its own consciousness, attacking or defending, attacking together or dispersing, killing the enemies who tried to break through the sword formation one by one. The sword formation was a world of its own.

For a moment, the entire Jiuyou Star Region was shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of terror.

The fierce battle between the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and the six Dao Lords, relying on the Nine Nether Formation, caused the entire star field to shake. The meteorites scattered around lost their original tracks and flew around randomly. The light of the surrounding stars became dim and were affected by this horrific battle.

As the battle intensified, the demonic energy in the Nine Nether Formation became thicker and thicker, almost condensing into substance, dyeing the entire space a deep black. And those Nine Nether Evil Corpses, under the control of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, surged in like a tide, and every charge was accompanied by endless wails and roars. They seemed to be tireless and insensitive to pain, and only knew to move forward madly, forward, until they turned into nothingness.

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, do you have any method to break the formation? This beast relies on the terrain of Jiuyou, and its source of energy is inexhaustible. We already have the blessing of our sect's precious treasures, so we should not continue to fight with it!" Taoist Lingyun asked Sect Master Xuantian through telepathy.

Old man Xuantian frowned, and swung the Xuantian sword in his hand continuously, covering the entire formation with sword energy, as if he was sensing something.

"The Nine Nether Formation was built by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor using the entire Nine Nether Star Region as its base, gathering endless Nine Nether Qi. It is extremely powerful, and breaking the formation is by no means an easy task. If we can find the core hub of the formation and destroy its ability to absorb and transform, the source of the Nether Corpses will be cut off, and there is hope that this battle will be resolved."

"Fellow Daoist Renhui, you are well versed in Buddhism. Can you shine your Buddha's light on us and guide us to find the core?" Sect Master Xuantian turned to the holy monk Renhui, his eyes full of expectation.

The benevolent and wise monk clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with the light of compassion and wisdom: "Amitabha, I am willing to give it a try. But this formation is extremely powerful, and I need the cooperation of all Taoist friends to resist the ghost corpses and buy time for me."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen and Qi Xuanming, the three Taoist Lords, became even more powerful in their sword intent. They cleared out the surrounding Nine Netherworld Evil Corpses to create a clearing and a relatively safe space for the Holy Monk Benevolent and Wisdom.

The Taoist Lingyun of Taiyi Sect pushed the Taiyi Divine Pearl to its extreme. The Taiyi Mysterious Light was like the scorching sun in the sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness and providing a pure space for the actions of the benevolent and wise monk.

The holy monk Renhui performed a Buddhist salute with his eyes slightly closed. Buddha's light shone brightly around him and Sanskrit sounds spread out. The shadow of a large Buddha instantly enlarged a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times, and penetrated into the core area of ​​the entire formation.

As the Holy Monk Benevolent and Wisdom went deeper, the Nine Nether Formation seemed to feel unprecedented pressure and began to fluctuate violently.

In the void, the figure of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor snorted coldly, spread his hands, and the rich Nine Nether Qi surged like a tide, trying to prevent the infiltration of the giant Buddha's phantom.

"Hmph, the Buddha has been born, and his light is shining everywhere. Do you think you can peek into my Nine Netherworld formation? What wishful thinking!" The voice of the Nine Netherworld Demon Emperor echoed in the void, carrying with it endless ridicule and disdain. He waved his hand, and the Nine Netherworld energy gathered and transformed into huge black claws, grabbing towards the shadow of the Buddha.

However, the benevolent and wise monk remained unmoved, with his eyes slightly closed, and the sound of Sanskrit continued to flow, and the Buddha's light shone brightly. Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the shadow of the Buddha looked even more solemn and sacred.

At this moment, the Xuantian sword in the hand of old man Xuantian shone brightly, and it slashed out a shocking sword energy. This sword energy was like a dragon soaring into the sky, slashing directly at the black devil claws that were trying to obstruct the giant Buddha's shadow.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the sword energy and the devil's claws collided, bursting out with dazzling light, and the entire Nine Nether Formation trembled.

This attack by Elder Xuantian successfully resisted the obstruction of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and bought precious time for the Holy Monk Renhui.

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, Fellow Daoist Lingyun, the eye of the formation is located in the heart of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. That is the source of his power and the core hub of the Nine Nether Formation!" The voice of the benevolent and wise monk rang in everyone's heart, reminding them.

"What! Using the body as a formation? What kind of martial arts is this?" Taoist Lingyun's face changed drastically when he heard this. After years of practice, he had never heard of such a crazy martial arts method. Using the body as a formation and forming a domain of its own, this is undoubtedly making an enemy of the heaven and earth and seeking death.

"No wonder, this beast was the mortal enemy of all sects in the spirit world in ancient times. He used his body as a formation and must devour a world in order to achieve his supreme magic. If he were to master such evil magic, I'm afraid the entire spirit world would be doomed." Elder Xuantian's face was solemn, with a look of determination in his eyes. "Since the center of the formation is where the Demon Emperor's body is, however, this beast is extremely cunning and will never easily reveal its true body. We need to find a way to lure out its true body before we have a chance to break the formation." Elder Xuantian sent a message to everyone and gestured.

"Luring his true form?" The benevolent and wise monk frowned slightly, knowing the difficulty of this, and quickly warned: "Since the Demon Emperor has used his body as a formation, he must have a back-up plan. It may not be easy to lure out his true form."

While everyone was resisting the Nine Nether Evil Corpse, they were also thinking of countermeasures.

"Actually, there is a solution. I once read about a secret method in an ancient book called 'Illusionary Heart Attraction', which can trigger the deepest obsession in a person's heart. By using this method, perhaps we can amplify their murderous intent and make them unable to resist showing up!" At this time, Qi Xuanming suddenly spoke up and suggested.

"Illusionary Heart Attraction?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although this secret method did not attack the enemy directly, it could cleverly utilize psychological tactics. It was especially effective against hidden and elusive enemies.

“But this secret technique requires extremely high mental power to control, and the practitioner needs to bear tremendous mental pressure and potential backlash. It is a great test of one’s will and cultivation.” Old Man Xuantian added, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"I understand." Qi Xuanming nodded, his eyes firm, "But the situation is urgent now. If we don't take a risk, we may find it difficult to find a way out. I am willing to take this risk and cast 'Illusion Heart Attraction'."

"Fellow Daoist Qi, it is commendable that you have this intention, but this matter concerns our life and death and cannot be taken lightly." At this moment, the old Taoist Lingyun suddenly spoke up and warned.

"From what I have seen of your cultivation, since you have just been promoted to the Mahayana realm not long ago, if you use the 'Illusionary Mind Attraction' to deal with this ancient cultivator, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, not only will it be difficult to succeed, but you will also be very likely to be attacked back by his powerful mental power, causing damage to your mind, a drop in cultivation, or even being killed by him!" Taoist Lingyun added.

"Indeed, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor has great cultivation and a deep foundation. We cannot easily shake him." Elder Xuantian said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing his deep fear of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. He said in a deep voice: "His mental power is so strong that it may have reached the highest level. Xuanming, you are using the 'Illusionary Heart Attraction' on him. The risk is too great. Let's just give up on it!"

"Then what should we do? Right now, we are trapped in this Nine Nether Formation. If we can't break out of it as soon as possible, defeat is a matter of time!"

Qi Xuanming's face turned slightly pale, but he quickly recovered. His eyes still shone with an unyielding light. He said in a deep voice: "As immortal cultivators, why should we fear death? If I can use my own strength to gain a chance for everyone to break the formation, even if I die, I will not hesitate!"

Looking at Qi Xuanming's resolute expression, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in their hearts.

“Fellow Daoist Qi, your courage is commendable, but this matter still needs to be carefully considered.” Taoist Lingyun sighed and advised, “Why don’t we work together to resist the Nine Nether Evil Corpse first, and at the same time look for other ways to break the formation.”

"Fellow Daoist Lingyun is right." Old Man Xuantian nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the holy monk Renhui suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise: "My fellow Taoists, I seem to have sensed some subtle changes in the core of the formation. Perhaps, we can try to start from another angle."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the benevolent and wise monk.

The benevolent and wise monk smiled slightly and explained, "Although the Nine Nether Formation is centered on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, the formation itself is also an independent entity. It absorbs the Nine Nether Qi and transforms it into the source of the Demon Emperor's power. If the formation's transformation mechanism can be destroyed, even if the Demon Emperor cannot be directly harmed, his power can be greatly weakened."

"That's a good idea." Elder Xuantian's eyes lit up. "We can allocate some of our personnel to attack the transformation nodes of the formation, while the others continue to resist the Nine Nether Evil Corpses to buy time for those who attack the nodes."

"You can give it a try!"

Everyone agreed and began to prepare.

Soon, under the guidance of the holy monk Renhui, everyone found several key transformation nodes of the formation. These nodes were located in the core of the formation. They seemed inconspicuous, but in fact they were the key to the operation of the formation.

Elder Xuantian, Taoist Lingyun, Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen and others used their unique skills to eliminate a large number of Nine Nether Evil Corpses while launching a fierce attack on these nodes.

Seeing this scene, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor who was in charge of the Nine Nether Formation showed a sneer of success in his eyes, and was secretly very happy: "These ants have finally fallen into my calculations. They think that they can break the formation by finding the transformation nodes of the formation? Humph, how naive! These nodes are just illusions I deliberately leaked to distract their attention, so that I have the opportunity to gather more powerful forces and annihilate them all in one fell swoop!"

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, continuing to control the Nine Nether Formation, allowing the Nine Nether Qi to surge more violently towards the so-called "transformation nodes". At the same time, he secretly mobilized his true core strength, preparing to give these ants a fatal blow at the critical moment.

However, just when the Nine Nether Demon Emperor thought that everything was under control, the Taoist Lingyun's eyes suddenly focused, and the Taiyi Divine Pearl in his hand shone brightly, as if he had insight into some unknown secret.

"Everyone, wait a minute!" The voice of the Taoist master Lingyun rang in everyone's ears, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, driving the Taiyi Divine Pearl, chanting: Taiyi Divine Light, enlighten my heart, illuminate the falsehood, break the illusion and reveal the truth!"

As Taoist Lingyun finished his spell, the Taiyi Divine Pearl burst out with unprecedented bright light. That light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, penetrating the heavy fog of the Nine Netherworlds and shooting straight into the core depths of the formation.

At this moment, the entire Nine Nether Formation was touched by a mysterious force and began to tremble violently.

"My fellow Taoists, look!" Taoist Lingyun pointed ahead, and saw that at the "transformation nodes" that were originally attacked by everyone, the Nine Nether Qi suddenly became thin, as if it was drained by some force.

At the same time, at the location of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, a more concentrated and purer Nine Nether Qi was gathering crazily, forming a huge vortex. (End of this chapter)
