Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Inside the Chaos Sealing Array, the space is chaotic, the light is distorted, and time seems to have lost its meaning. Here, the rules are chaotic, and everything is in its most primitive and purest state.

Li Mu sat suspended in the air, waking up from his sudden enlightenment. His eyes were like whirlpools, with the fire of chaos dancing in his eyes. It was a symbol of his deep understanding and mastery of the Great Dao of Chaos. The fire contained powerful chaotic power. It was the pure power he extracted from the chaotic energy and the greatest gain from this practice.

Li Mu stood up slowly. The chaotic energy surrounding him seemed to sense his will and retreated to make a passage for him.

Li Mu took a deep breath and felt the chaotic power flowing in his body. It was a power beyond the norm and the origin. Next, he wanted to test what he gained from his retreat.

Li Mu waved his hands and the fire of chaos gushed out of his body, instantly transforming into a brown fire dragon, hovering in the air and emitting an exciting dragon roar. This fire dragon not only possessed destructive power, but also contained the mysteries of life and creation in chaos. It was the embodiment of the origin of chaos, symbolizing his deep mastery of the avenue of chaos.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the Tianxuan Ring flashed with light. A huge dragon body suddenly appeared in front of him. The dragon corpse was pitch black all over, like an ancient giant beast crawling out of the abyss, exuding a heart-pounding sense of oppression.

A layer of faint black mist surrounded the dragon's corpse. That was the monstrous evil spirit that had accumulated before it died. Even after death, the evil spirit had not dissipated. Instead, it became thicker with the passage of time, as if it were a substance, making people feel chilly and even their souls frozen by it.

The dragon corpse has thick limbs and four pairs of sharp claws. Each finger bone seems to be made of fine iron, and is wrapped with thick black demonic energy, as if it can erupt with devastating power at any time. The huge body lies across the chaotic space like an insurmountable mountain, which makes people feel awe.

The tail of the dragon corpse is thick and powerful, and the end is as sharp as a cone. It is covered with traces of time and scars of battle. The dragon scales are several feet long and wide, shining with a cold metallic luster. Although the dragon corpse's eyes are closed, one can still feel an indomitable will from them.

The corpse of an eighth-level Mahayana demon dragon was one of the spoils of the last support to Nanhuang. The corpse of the demon dragon was as big as a small mountain. Standing in front of it, Li Mu's figure was as small as an ant, insignificant.

The value of this dragon corpse is immeasurable. Whether it is the dragon scales and dragon bones on its body, or the dragon blood and dragon elixir in its body, they are all precious materials that can be used to refine powerful magical weapons and Taoist tools.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking carefully at the corpse of the demon dragon in front of him, which was surrounded by death and engraved with demonic energy. He was thinking about what kind of Taoist weapon to refine. In the previous battle, Wanjian Mountain, Five Elements Taoist Armor, Demon Seal,..., many protective Taoist weapons had suffered heavy damage.

Now, Li Mu urgently needs to refine several high-quality Taoist weapons that can protect him and at the same time unleash the power of the Chaos Dao.

Soon, Li Mu had a plan in mind. However, before using the dragon body to refine the weapon, he had to temper the dragon corpse first to remove its evil nature and evil spirit.

Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and the Chaos Fire Dragon plunged into the dragon corpse, instantly transforming into countless tiny fire snakes, wrapping around every inch of the dragon's skin and beginning the refining process.

Soon, chaotic flames began to burn inside the dragon corpse. The demonic and evil spirits of the dragon corpse were gradually stripped away and turned into wisps of black smoke, which were swallowed up by the chaotic space.

As the Chaos Fire continued to refine, the black mist on the surface of the dragon's corpse gradually dissipated, revealing the dragon scales underneath that were originally covered by demonic energy and evil spirits. The dragon blood and dragon flesh were directly burned by the Chaos Fire and refined into a ball of essence, leaving behind a crystal clear, pure and flawless dragon bone frame, sharp dragon teeth, and a large number of dragon scales with extraordinary aura.

These are all top-grade refining materials, and their quality and quantity are more than one level higher than the dragon corpse that Li Mu obtained before.

With the massive amount of dragon bones and dragon scales from the dragon corpse he harvested last time, Li Mu was able to refine twenty-three Taoist weapons and twenty-three sets of dragon armor. He also carved thirteen dragon guard puppets from the dragon bones. The dragon scales and dragon bones he harvested this time were of no less quantity and quality.

There are more than 20,000 black dragon scales of all sizes. The big ones are like discs, up to half a meter in diameter, with intricate textures on them. The small ones are like shields... After being baptized by the fire of chaos, they are filled with the power of chaos, flashing a cold and deep light. Each one contains the toughness and unrivaled strength to withstand a blow from the Mahayana Taoist.

These dragon scales are not only of different sizes, but also of different styles. Some are round like jade, some are sharp like blades, some are flat like mirrors, and some are uneven. Some dragon scales have jagged edges and are extremely sharp. The dragon scales on the tail and limbs are particularly hard, and there are more than 12,000 of them.
Some are round, smooth, soft, and very tough. Most of them are dragon scales on the abdomen, which protect the softest part of the dragon. They are very defensive and tough. There are more than 3,000 of them.
Some are like mountains, steady, heavy, and full of texture. These are the dragon scales in the center of the back. They are broad and thick, and each one seems to be able to bear a thousand pounds of weight. After being baptized by the fire of chaos, faint golden lines appear on the surface of these dragon scales. There are more than 5,000 of them in total.
Some are as thin as cicada wings, transparent as water, light and elegant. These are dragon scales on the wings of the magic dragon. Although they are thin, they are extremely tough and can cut through the air during high-speed flight to reduce resistance.

Looking at so many top-grade spiritual materials for refining weapons, Li Mu's face revealed an unconcealable joy. With a thought, he collected the dragon bones, dragon fangs, and scales suitable for refining dragon scale armor, leaving behind a pile of small, sharp dragon scales, as many as fifteen thousand pieces.

Li Mu decided to refine them into Dragon Scale Swords and integrate them into Wanjian Mountain.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the seventh-rank Taoist weapon - Wanjian Mountain emerged. In the last fierce battle, Wanjian Mountain blocked the attack of the demon god for him. Thousands of spirit swords were damaged or destroyed, and a shocking crack was cut on the sword mountain. But even so, Wanjian Mountain still exuded a sharp sword intent, which was the result of the unyielding will of countless spirit swords.

"You fight for me, and I will never let you down!" Li Mu gently stroked Jianshan, a hint of apology and determination flashed in his eyes.

Refining 10,000 Dragon Scale Swords is not an easy task. Even for a master refiner like Li Mu, it is a huge project. Even with his current refining efficiency and success rate, his cultivation will stagnate due to the huge consumption of energy, and he may even face the risk of a decline in realm.

We need to find a way to reduce the energy consumption in the refining process and increase the success rate. Li Mu frowned and fell into deep thought. He needed to find a more efficient and safe refining method.

Suddenly, Li Mu saw from the corner of his eye the Chaos Sealing Array at the end of the Chaos Space. It was extremely powerful, magnificent and vast, completely sealing off the passage to the three realms.

Li Mu's heart moved, and a bold idea flashed in his mind - why not use a little power of the Chaos Sealing Array to help him refine the Dragon Scale Sword?
As the guardian of the three realms, the Chaos Sealing Array's chaotic array force is so strong that no one can match it. With just a little guidance, Li Mu can draw a trace of array force out of the array. Just a little bit can help him with auxiliary force in the process of refining, accelerate the purification and fusion of materials, reduce the refiner's energy consumption, and increase the success rate.

Borrowing the power of the Chaos Sealing Array is by no means easy. If one is not careful, it may trigger the array's alert or even cause backlash. However, this is the case for others. For Li Mu, who practices the Great Way of Chaos, the array has the same origin as the Great Array, and he is proficient in the art of formations. He now has a considerable understanding of the Chaos Sealing Array.

As long as the method is right, Li Mu is fully capable of safely borrowing a small amount of the power of the Chaos Sealing Array. Li Mu's mind moved, and he took out seven sixth-level spiritual materials from the Tianxuan Ring, namely: Taiyin True Water, Black Gold Essence, Thick Earth Yuantai, Red Flame Red Stone, ..., and other seven spiritual materials, representing the ultimate power of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang respectively.

Using seven sixth-level spiritual materials as the core of the formation, Li Mu began to set up a small chaos magic formation.

The magic array is called "Five Elements Yin and Yang Chaos Array". It was created by Li Mu based on the principles of the Chaos Sealing Array and combined with the theory of Five Elements Yin and Yang.

In the center of the magic circle, Li Mu placed Taiyin True Water in Kan position, representing the Yin of water; Xuanjin Essence in Qian position, representing the Yang of gold; Chiyan Zhushi in Li position, representing the Yang of fire; the other four spiritual materials, Cangyue Spirit Wood in Zhen position, representing the vitality of wood; Xuanbing Yucui in Gen position, representing the Yin of water but containing Yang; Jiyang Crystal Core in Dui position, representing the Yin of gold but containing Yang; finally, Houtu Yuantai in the middle position as the center of the formation to harmonize the Yin and Yang of the five elements and stabilize the magic circle.

After setting up the magic circle, Li Mu took a deep breath and began to guide the power of the Chaos Sealing Array. He formed seals with his hands, and his mind sank into the chaos, establishing a subtle connection with the Chaos Sealing Array.

As Li Mu's mind turned, traces of chaotic array power were carefully drawn out, and slowly flowed into the Five Elements Yin and Yang Chaos Array along the path he had set in advance.

The power of these chaotic sealing arrays circulated within the magic circle, creating a strong resonance with the Five Elements Yin and Yang Chaos Array. Under Li Mu's careful control, the chaotic array power poured in at an accelerated rate and was endless.

With a "crash", a ball of raging chaotic fire in the center of the magic circle was suddenly ignited.

With Li Mu's divine consciousness and his own chaotic magic power as the guide, and the power of the Chaos Sealing Array as the fuel for the fire, the fire of chaos burned fiercely in the center of the array. Its light was dazzling, as if it could illuminate the entire chaotic space. This flame was no ordinary flame, but a fusion of the power of chaos and the power of yin and yang of the five elements. Its temperature was high enough to melt all things in the world.

As Li Mu's mind moved, hundreds of dragon scales suddenly flew up, like moths to a flame, and poured into the chaotic fire, softening and condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Driven by Li Mu's mind,

The dragon scales quickly softened and condensed under the licking of the chaotic flames, just like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Li Mu used his magical power of refining weapons - soul refining, and embedded his spiritual consciousness deeply into the dragon scale liquid. Impurities were peeled off like dead leaves swept by the autumn wind, turning into wisps of green smoke. The dragon scale liquid became more condensed, with a pure and flawless color, containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

About half an hour later, the liquid originally melted from hundreds of dragon scales was refined to only one tenth of it. It was as heavy as mercury and contained incredible power.

Under the control of an invisible giant hand condensed by Li Mu's will, the dragon scale melt slowly solidified, divided into five parts, slowly stretched, and gradually formed the prototypes of five sword embryos...

At this moment, Li Mu's mind was divided into six. On one hand, he controlled the traction array to continuously output the traction array force, and on the other hand, he used his magical power to refine weapons and refined five seventh-level Taoist weapons at the same time.

When it comes to refining seventh-level Taoist weapons, Li Mu is now able to do it at will and lift heavy objects with ease. His weapon-refining skills have long surpassed the scope of ordinary craftsmen and reached a state of perfection and mastery.

However, refining five seventh-level Taoist weapons at the same time is an unprecedented challenge.

Fortunately, with the power of the Chaos Sealing Array to borrow, the demand for true energy output was greatly reduced by 90%, which gave Li Mu a reassurance. Driven by his spiritual thoughts, the condensation of the five sword embryos was a natural process. The next step was to condense the Taoist weapon patterns.

The first weapon pattern: chaos, quietly appearing; the second weapon pattern: sword light, sharp and coming; the third weapon pattern: sword shadow, changing into thousands of illusions; the fourth weapon pattern: sword intention, pointing directly to the heart; ...

In front of Li Mu's chaotic magic circle, the chaos fire was blazing, and five golden scale sword embryos were shining with spiritual light again and again at the same time, condensing with weapon patterns, the sword bodies were humming, and the sword energy was roaring.

Time flew by, and when the twenty-eight weapon patterns were condensed on the five dragon-scale Taoist weapons, the entire space seemed to tremble. The weapon patterns on the five dragon-scale Taoist weapons complemented each other, and seemed to form a wonderful resonance with each other, which doubled their power.

"Buzz!" The swords hummed in unison.

Five seventh-grade swords of the highest quality were created at the same time.

The five Taoist swords slowly rotated in the air, and the patterns on the swords glowed with mysterious light, as if containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Each sword exuded a heart-pounding pressure. Their swords were crystal clear, as if carved from the purest crystal, yet exuded a faint metallic luster, appearing both soft and strong.

Li Mu looked at the five seventh-grade Taoist swords in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face. He could clearly feel that the chaotic power and the eighth-grade dragon scales contained in each sword were merging with each other to form an unprecedented powerful force. These Taoist swords were not only extremely sharp, but also contained profound sword meaning and spirituality, which could communicate with his mind and exert his greatest combat effectiveness.

Li Mu looked up at the Wanjian Mountain floating in the air and stretched out his hand.

Wan Jianshan shook slightly, responded to Li Mu's call, and flew to his master.

Li Mu waved his hand lightly, and the five Taoist swords became like spiritual creatures. They shrank their sword bodies one after another and flew into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, inserting themselves into the vacant sword positions on the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Wanjian Mountain immediately released a sharp sword intent. The addition of five seventh-order Dao swords increased its power and might instantly rose, like a towering sword peak piercing the sky. The sword intent soared into the sky, causing the entire chaotic space to tremble. (End of this chapter)
