Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

In the sky above the Qixuan Sect, boundless thunderclouds suddenly appeared and enveloped the entire sect, as if the wrath of heaven was gathering at this moment.

Sect Master Lin Maoshan flew out of the Sect Master's Mansion first, frowning, staring at the Tribulation Platform in the back mountain. He scanned with his spiritual sense, but was isolated by the shielding formation.

The next moment, several figures flew out from the seven main peaks and quickly gathered around Lin Maoshan. They were the masters of the Huashen Peak of the Qixuan Sect - Zhao Tianchen, Su Hongxiu, Liu Yuqian, Xiao Qingyun and others. They all stared at the thunderclouds above, confused and uncertain, and talked a lot.

"This...what kind of celestial phenomenon is this?" Zhao Tianchen exclaimed.

"It's not a thunder tribulation, but more like a weapon tribulation. A weapon tribulation of this scale is unheard of!" Su Hongxiu said affirmatively.

"It must be a top-grade Taoist weapon refined by the master. Only he has the means to do this!" Liu Yuqian's eyes flashed with admiration. Her respect for her master, Li Mu, had long been engraved in her bones.

"It must be the work of our master. The Tribulation Platform is set up with complicated magic arrays, making it difficult to see with spiritual sense. If he didn't do it himself, who could have such magical powers?" Xiao Qingyun nodded in agreement excitedly.

……

Master-Li Mu has been in seclusion for many years and has not shown up. It is rare that he made a noise today. However, this noise is too big!

The vast thunderclouds in the sky looked even more spectacular and terrifying at this moment. Lightning and thunder were interweaving into a huge sky net, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world. Between the flashes of lightning, purple arcs could occasionally be seen shuttling through the clouds, carrying destructive power that was frightening.

The shape of the thunderclouds was unpredictable, sometimes rolling like raging waves, sometimes turning into a circling dragon, accompanied by deafening thunder. Under the cover of these thunderclouds, every inch of the Qixuan Sect felt the pressure from heaven and earth, and even the air became heavy and depressing.

Disciples also gathered in various places of the sect, looking up at the terrifying thunderclouds gathering in the sky. Discussions arose one after another, mixed with fear and curiosity. Some young disciples were even in awe.

At this moment, a dazzling purple light suddenly flashed in the thundercloud, and a thick purple thunder dragon slammed down towards the Tribulation Platform. Immediately afterwards, a deafening thunder resounded through the sky. Along with the deafening thunder, an ancient and powerful aura seeped out from the thundercloud, causing the entire Qixuan Sect to tremble.

"This, the fluctuation of the Nine-Nine Realm Weapon Tribulation, is the Ultimate Weapon Tribulation!"

Sect leader Lin Maoshan had a solemn expression on his face and exclaimed in surprise, the Nine-Nine Realm Weapon Tribulation is the highest level of weapon tribulation in legend, and only one in ten thousand can successfully survive this tribulation. He did not expect that the master could actually refine such a top-grade Taoist weapon.

"Senior Brother Lin, what is the Nine-Nine Realm Weapon Tribulation!" Liu Yuqian looked at Lin Maoshan with confusion. Although she was a Divine Transformation cultivator and the master of a peak, her understanding of the Weapon Tribulation was only superficial.

Lin Maoshan took a deep breath and explained slowly, "The weapon calamity is a test of the laws of heaven and earth on magic weapons. During the refining process, if a magic weapon incorporates too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, or possesses extraordinary power, it will be baptized by the heavenly calamity. This weapon calamity is a test of whether the magic weapon can withstand the test of the laws of heaven and earth."

"And weapon tribulations are divided into several levels. The lowest level is the acquired spiritual treasure weapon tribulation. This kind of weapon tribulation has the least power and can be survived by enduring a few lightning strikes. After that, there are treasure weapon tribulations, Dao weapon tribulations, and extreme Dao weapon tribulations, which are also called domain weapon tribulations. The power of each level of weapon tribulation is far greater than the previous level, and the test of the spiritual weapon that survives the tribulation is increasingly severe."

"And the Nine-Nine Dao Realm Weapon Tribulation is the legendary extreme Dao Weapon Tribulation. It is not only extremely powerful, but also contains the will of heaven and earth, and the laws of the Dao Realm. It is said that only those magic weapons that are truly integrated into the Dao of heaven and earth and have the power to defy the heavens will be baptized by the Nine-Nine Dao Weapon Tribulation. And the Dao treasures that can successfully survive this tribulation all have the power to penetrate heaven and earth, and can shake the universe and reverse yin and yang."

When Lin Maoshan said this, his gaze once again turned to the black flag on the tribulation platform, with awe and expectation flashing in his eyes. The Taoist weapon refined by his master this time must have been successfully integrated into the great Dao of heaven and earth, and it would be a top-grade Taoist weapon with the power to defy the heavens. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to bring about the baptism of the Nine-Nine Domains Tribulation.

"The Nine-Nine Domain Instrument Tribulation, a total of ninety-nine eighty-one waves of tribulation thunder, contains the will and laws of heaven and earth; and in order to successfully survive this tribulation, the magic weapon not only needs to have a strong instrument base, but also needs to continuously temper the foundation of the domain instrument under the bombardment of thunder and lightning, perfectly forming a powerful Dao domain, and completely completing the test of the Nine-Nine Domain Instrument Tribulation."

As soon as Lin Maoshan finished speaking, a deafening thunder sounded in the sky again, and then an even thicker purple thunder dragon, with the power to destroy the world, slammed down towards the Tribulation Platform.

On the Tribulation Platform, the Chaos Spirit Banner was quietly suspended in the air. Above the banner, thick gray mist was lingering. The purple thunder dragon bombarded it, and lightning flew everywhere. However, the gray mist had extremely magical power and absorbed the purple lightning at a very fast speed, and the gray mist layer remained unchanged.

The will of heaven seemed to be angered by his reaction. The thunderclouds in the sky rolled more violently. Amidst flashing purple light, countless purple electric snakes swam in it, brewing an even more terrifying attack.

"Crack!" With a loud noise, a purple thunderbolt that was thicker than before and almost covered half of the sky came crashing down, striking the Chaos Spirit Banner with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. This time, the lightning seemed to contain a profound power of the Heavenly Dao, attempting to destroy the new Dao weapon that dared to challenge its authority in one fell swoop.
Facing this shocking blow, the Chaos Spirit Banner did not retreat, but instead displayed its amazing power. The gray mist on the banner instantly boiled up, like a boiling ocean, swallowing up all the lightning power that approached. The moment those purple lightning entered the mist, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly transformed into strands of chaotic energy, lingering around the banner, making the Chaos Spirit Banner look even more mysterious.

"Crack, click..."

The thunderbolts struck down one after another. The will of Heaven could not be violated and one could not watch the thunderbolts being swallowed up. The thunderbolts continued to strike, bringing destruction. The violent thunderbolts tried to kill the Chaos Spirit Banner that was supposed to be struck by the thunderbolts.

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color. Around the Chaos Spirit Banner, the Chaos Shield formed by the gray mist began to show tiny cracks under the bombardment of endless thunder, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Oh no, the thunder is too powerful. The speed at which Master's Taoist weapon devours cannot keep up with the attack frequency of the thunder!" Lin Maoshan looked nervous. He stared at the gray spiritual flag that could help him transcend the thunder and saw the danger in it.

"It's too scary! Can I really survive this thunder tribulation?" Liu Yuqian's face was pale, with worry flashing in her eyes. As a Divine Transformation cultivator, based on her perception, she could confirm that she could not survive even a single thunder tribulation of this kind.

"Master, why hasn't you taken action yet? If this continues, the foundation of this top-grade Taoist weapon will be destroyed." Xiao Qingyun said worriedly.

Just when everyone was worried, the many patterns on the spirit flag of the tribulation suddenly shone brightly, and an ancient and mysterious power surged out of it. The whole spirit flag also quickly underwent subtle changes. The gray mist on the flag surface gradually turned into deep, filled with purple electric snakes, emitting powerful thunder, echoing the color of the tribulation thunder; at the same time, the flag body also became more flexible, as if it could change its shape at will, and adaptably respond to the attack of the tribulation thunder.

"What is this...? The nature of the spirit flag has changed. It has transformed into a spirit flag of lightning attribute!"

Looking at the state of the Tribulation Spirit Banner, Zhao Tianchen couldn't help but exclaim, stunned by the scene before him.

"Senior Brother Lin? A Taoist weapon can also change its attributes? That should be a Five Elements Taoist weapon, right? It has turned into a thunder attribute Taoist weapon!" Su Hongxiu couldn't help but look at Lin Maoshan and asked with concern.

They have been concentrating on practicing all the time. Unlike Lin Maoshan, they did not learn the art of refining from Qin Wentong and Elder Qin, so they do not know much about it.

"I, ... I don't know either!"

Lin Maoshan had a look of bewilderment on his face, his eyes fixed on the changing Chaos Spirit Banner, his heart also filled with shock and puzzlement. Although he was proficient in refining equipment, he had never seen the strange sight of a magic weapon or a Taoist weapon changing its properties on its own during a weapon calamity.

Because he understands weapon refining better than them, Lin Maoshan knows more than them. When faced with things that are beyond his knowledge, he understands them more deeply than they do.

"Once the nature of a weapon is determined, there is no way to change it! Even a five-element magic weapon can only temporarily change the properties of a Taoist weapon by using the power of the five elements. It, its weapon potential, its nature has completely changed!"

"What kind of Taoist weapon is this!" "What on earth did the master make? How can it be so strange!"

……

Lin Maoshan kept muttering in a daze, with only the spiritual weapon that was undergoing the tribulation in his eyes.

As the properties of the spirit banner changed, its ability to absorb and resist thunder was greatly enhanced. Those purple thunders that were originally enough to destroy everything not only failed to harm it after coming into contact with the banner, but instead became its nourishment, tempering the body of the banner, strengthening its properties, and adding a bit of majesty and mystery to it.

“Boom boom…!”

The heavenly thunder was angered, and the color of the thunder changed from purple to deep red. The deep red thunder was like boiling magma, rolling and roaring in the sky, carrying an aura even more terrifying than the purple thunder, as if it would burn everything in the world.

The disciples retreated one after another. Even Liu Yuqian and Xiao Qingyun, who had high levels of cultivation, felt an indescribable fear. They looked at the scene that seemed like the end of the world, and their hearts were filled with worry.

"too frightening!"

"Can the old sect master's Taoist weapon survive this disaster?"

"Why did the color of the thunder change? And this power... is several times more terrifying than before!"

"Everyone, get out of the way, restrain your consciousness, don't look directly at it, and don't let the thunder affect your Tao heart."

……

The high-level and low-level disciples of the Seven Profound Clan talked among themselves in shock. They all floated into the air and moved far away to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

In the sky, the deep red thunder was like the flame of heavenly punishment, constantly brewing and gathering. With a "swish!", the red lightning instantly cut through the sky and directly hit the spirit flag that was undergoing the tribulation.

The purple lightning banner suddenly burst out with powerful force, giving birth to countless purple lightning snakes, which instantly condensed into a purple lightning shield.

With a loud "bang", the purple thunder shield and the deep red thunder collided with each other, bursting out with dazzling light. The whole world seemed to be shocked by this power and trembled violently.

Under the impact of this force, the lightning snakes on the purple lightning banner kept moving, entangled with the thunder, and consumed each other. Under the baptism of this force, the purple lightning banner made bursts of buzzing sounds, as if it was resonating with the heaven and earth and absorbing the power between heaven and earth.

The red thunder continued to attack. Thick red lightning bolts were like angry dragons emerging from the sea, slamming towards the purple spirit banner with the power to burn the sky and destroy the earth. Soon, its thunder shield collapsed and disintegrated instantly under the bombardment of countless red thunders, and the red thunder directly hit the device.

However, just when everyone thought that the spirit flag had failed to survive the tribulation and was about to collapse, it showed amazing resilience. The patterns on the flag were activated again, releasing a dazzling red spiritual light, which merged with the red tribulation thunder and became one.

Everyone saw a magical scene. The spirit flag under the thunder changed its properties again, becoming completely consistent with the properties of the Heavenly Tribulation - the Burning Sky Fire Thunder. It was as if it itself was a part of the heavenly tribulation and was dancing with it in an incredible way.

"This... what is going on?" Zhao Tianchen's voice was filled with disbelief, his eyes fixed on the spirit flag that was turning from purple to red, trying to take in every subtle change.

Su Hongxiu was also shocked. She looked at Lin Maoshan, who was proficient in refining equipment, with eyes full of help, hoping that he could give her an answer.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Maoshan's face.

Lin Maoshan was also confused at this moment. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have never seen such a strange Taoist weapon. Master's weapon refining skills are superb. He can refine such a top-grade Taoist weapon with constantly changing properties. It is beyond my cognition."

"It changes with the changes of the thunderbolt, completely integrating the will of heaven, and even guiding the thunderbolt to use for its own benefit. This is simply unheard of."

Lin Maoshan murmured absentmindedly, his eyes full of admiration and worship for his master Li Mu's miraculous weapon-refining skills.

At this time, the burning fire thunder in the sky was still bombarding the red spirit flag, but each bombardment seemed to inject more power into the spirit flag, making it tougher and more powerful.

Soon, the will of heaven discovered this situation, and the color of the thunderclouds changed again, from red to black.

However, the successive bombardments of black thunder failed to cause any damage to the spirit flag that was undergoing the tribulation, because as before, the properties of the spirit flag changed under the stimulation of the thunder.

"Great! This time, I'm almost certain to win!"

"It is worthy of being a top-grade Taoist weapon refined by Master. It is indeed so!"

"Great! The Dao weapon refined by the old sect master will surely survive this nine-nine realm weapon calamity and achieve supreme prestige!"

……

Upon hearing this, the high-level elders and disciples of the Qixuan Sect cheered one after another. The worries in their hearts were swept away, and instead, they were filled with endless respect and admiration for Li Mu.

In the sky, the bombardment of black thunder became more and more violent, but the spirit flag that was crossing the tribulation seemed to have merged with the heaven and earth. The power released by the bombardment of countless thunders became the nutrients for its growth. The light on its body became more and more dazzling, and it exuded a heart-pounding breath.

"Boom!"

Thick black thunderbolts fell like pillars from the sky, bombarding the spirit flag endlessly.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the originally complicated patterns on the spirit flag suddenly became simple and clear, and an indescribable pressure emanated from it, instantly dispersing the dense thunderclouds above the head. The Dao Realm of Dao Instrument was successfully awakened, and successfully passed the test of the Nine-Nine Realm Instrument Tribulation. (End of this chapter)
