Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Facing the questioning of the Old Ancestor of Fire and his gradually rising murderous intent, a trace of helplessness flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He came here in pursuit of the Ninth Order Earth Vein Divine Fire, but he didn't expect it to secretly devour other people's sacred objects and leave silently, causing him to be misunderstood as an accomplice.

The yellow mud on my pants is probably shit, and I can't tell him about it.

Li Mu suppressed his irritability, took a deep breath, and continued in a deep voice: "I have always acted upright and honestly throughout my life. I will never do such a sneaky thing. Moreover, the person who stole the holy object was able to succeed under the heavy protection of your island. His means are very sophisticated and he is definitely not an ordinary person. Daoist friend, if you insist on forcing this matter on me, do you have other purposes?"

However, in this world of cultivation where the strong are respected, explanations often seem so pale and powerless, and only strength is the hard truth that determines everything. Li Mu knew this very well, so he was also prepared to deal with the worst situation.

“Hmph, if you didn’t have some plan, how could you have broken through the psychedelic spirit formation on my island and reached the core of the volcano? Now that the Dragon Emperor’s Heart Flame is missing, you must give me an explanation!” The face of the Old Ancestor of Fire was as gloomy as water, and his words revealed an unquestionable toughness. The surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly because of his anger, and the hot breath oppressed Li Mu like a substance.

"Oh! What do you want me to explain? You didn't chase the person who stole the noble's holy object, but instead kept entangled with it. I suspect that the loss of the holy object was fake, and the purpose was to frame me." Li Mu frowned, and his tone became sharper. His body did not move, but there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power around him. It was obvious that he was prepared to deal with emergencies.

"Frame-up? Humph, what a joke! My Fiery Island has been established for thousands of years, and the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame is the island's most precious treasure. How can I allow you lowly villains to slander me!" The Fiery Ancestor laughed in anger, his eyes red, and waved his hands around fiercely.

I saw several figures flashing out from all directions like ghosts and quickly gathered around the Fiery Ancestor. These people were wearing fiery red armor, with solemn and terrified expressions. They were the elite guards of Fiery Island.

"Ancestor!" After several guards in fiery red armor appeared, they all knelt on one knee with fear on their faces.

The face of the old ancestor Liehuo turned pale, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the whole place. He asked the guards, "What's the situation?"

"Ancestor, the holy object has been lost out of thin air. Your subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to find any clues!"

The leading guard, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a trembling voice, continued, "We carefully checked the Fire Dragon Cave, and there was no sign of intrusion in the cave protection array. There were no clues at the scene. It seemed that the treasure thief appeared and disappeared out of thin air. Moreover, we used all the surveillance arrays on the island, but were unable to capture any suspicious figures..."

"Enough! Keep an eye on these two people and don't let them escape!" Old Ancestor Liehuo shouted angrily, interrupting the guard's report. After leaving a word, his figure turned into a line of fire and disappeared from the spot in an instant. It was obvious that he was going to personally track down the clues of the treasure thief.

Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Master, we can't stay here for long. That old ghost obviously has ill intentions towards us. Staying any longer will only cause more trouble." The Red Refining Fire Phoenix transmitted a message to Li Mu through telepathy, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Li Mu nodded slightly and replied with telepathy: "Yes, you are right. Hold my hand tightly, and we must leave this place immediately."

As he spoke, Li Mu stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the warm palm of the Red Refining Fire Phoenix. Instantly, the chaotic magic power in his body surged like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

The next moment, the guards felt a dazzling light flash across their field of vision, blurring their eyes and minds.

"What are you doing!"

The guards stared at Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng, and the guard of the leader questioned angrily.

However, Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng turned a deaf ear to them and just looked at them with a smile on their faces.

Seeing that the two guards were still in front of them, the guards breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were extremely alert and took strict precautions.

On the other side, Li Mu and the Red Fire Phoenix had successfully escaped from the Fire Dragon Island, turning into a stream of light and chasing in the direction of the Ninth Rank Earth Vein Divine Fire. It turned out that Li Mu used the technique of substitute, leaving a substitute behind, and took the Red Fire Phoenix away under the noses of the guards, without anyone noticing.

While Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng escaped from Fire Dragon Island, their substitutes remained where they were, facing the angry guards with a faint smile on their faces, as if they didn't care at all about what was about to happen.

At this moment, the Fiery Ancestor sensed something and decisively gave up the clues he was looking for. He went back and stared at Li Mu. The Red Fire Phoenix slapped his hands in anger.
Immediately, the two substitutes shook slightly and turned into two balls of colorful light. They suddenly exploded and turned into countless tiny spots of light, which flew in all directions and disappeared in an instant.

The guards were shocked and reacted immediately.

"Is this... a substitute technique?" The guard in the lead's face changed drastically. He looked at the Fiery Ancestor in fear and said, "Ancestor, please forgive me!"

"A bunch of trash! You can't even keep an eye on one person!" The old ancestor of Liehuo shouted angrily, and his figure flashed, chasing in the direction where Li Mu and the Red Fire Phoenix fled, as fast as a red lightning.

At this time, Li Mu fled with the Red Refining Fire Phoenix. His divine sense, which was comparable to that of a great Taoist master, immediately discovered the pursuers behind him. He immediately sent a message to the Red Refining Fire Phoenix, saying, "We've been discovered. Go back to the treasure house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu paused and put the Red Refined Fire Phoenix into the Painting World Treasure House. Then, with a thought, he took out a set of teleportation array devices and six time and space array cards from the Tianxuan Ring.

Li Mu moved swiftly, pinching the formation formula with his hands, and the six time and space formation cards were immediately quickly arranged according to specific positions. Each formation card emitted a faint fluorescence, forming a subtle connection with each other.

"Teleportation array, start!"

The chaotic magic power in Li Mu's body surged again and injected into these array cards. He shouted in a low voice,
I saw that the six formation cards were shining brightly, and a twisted space gap slowly opened in the void, emitting an alluring light, as if it could lead to anywhere.

At this moment, the angry roar of the Fiery Ancestor came from afar, and his figure was like a meteor streaking through the sky, approaching at an alarming speed: "Asshole, don't even think about escaping!"

Li Mu snorted coldly, without any hesitation, he stepped into the space gap in a flash. As his figure disappeared, the space gap shrank rapidly, and the six array cards followed closely behind him and were thrown into the teleportation array, turning into a point of light and dissipating into the void.

The old ancestor Liehuo watched the little thief disappear into the gap in space, and an unprecedented anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. He roared, and flames boiled around his body, as if he wanted to burn the world to ashes.

"Little thief, no matter where you escape, I will tear you into pieces!" The old ancestor Liehuo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

However, no matter how angry he was, Old Ancestor Liehuo knew that he could no longer catch up with the boy who had already passed through the teleportation array with ordinary means, and he had to find another way to have a chance of catching him.

A trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the Liehuo Patriarch, and he made an astonishing decision to consume the origin of the Dao Realm and forcefully open the space gap that was about to close! The origin of the Dao Realm was the essence accumulated by the Dao Realm strongmen after years of practice. Once consumed, it would have an immeasurable impact on the cultivation. But at this moment, the Liehuo Patriarch could no longer care about so much. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to catch Li Mu to vent his hatred.

I saw the old ancestor of Liehuo releasing the Dao domain, quickly forming seals with his hands, muttering something, and the flames around him became more and more intense, as if they were going to melt the entire space. With a low shout from him, a powerful force surged out of his body and poured into the closed space gap.

“Open it for me!” The old ancestor of Liehuo shouted loudly, and the closed space crack was forcibly stretched open by the violent source of fire, emitting a terrifying aura.

Ancestor Liehuo did not hesitate at all. He flashed and squeezed into the space crack. As his figure disappeared, the space crack slowly closed as if it had never existed.

On the other side, Li Mu arrived at an unfamiliar sea area through space teleportation. At this moment, a figure broke through the dark clouds and rushed towards him like a meteor.

The person who came was none other than the old ancestor Liehuo. His face was ashen and his eyes were filled with endless anger and murderous intent.

"Old ghost, you are quite capable. You caught up with me so quickly!" Li Mu showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he was not too panicked in his heart.

The figure of the Fiery Ancestor flashed and appeared in front of Li Mu. He narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down seriously. He was calm with some surprise, but also a little confused about the whereabouts of the seventh-level true spirit fire phoenix.

"Boy, follow me back obediently. If you recover the treasure of our clan, I can spare your life!" The old ancestor Liehuo warned sternly with murderous intent.

Hearing this, Li Mu sneered, his eyes revealing unyielding and mocking: "Spare my life? This is ridiculous. You wronged me for no reason and even wanted me to go back with you? Dream on!"

The face of the Liehuo Patriarch darkened, and he became even angrier: "If you don't accept my toast, then you'll have to drink the wine for punishment! Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, the flames around the Old Ancestor of Fire began to boil again, like a volcanic eruption. The hot breath rushed in his face, making it almost impossible to breathe. With a wave of his hands, the flames turned into two fire dragons, roaring and rushing towards Li Mu.

Li Mu performed the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared instantly, easily avoiding the fire dragons' attack. However, the two fire dragons did not stop. They circled flexibly in the air, as if they had their own consciousness, interweaving with each other to form a network of blazing flames, sealing off the entire space tightly, and instantly blocking Li Mu's escape route.

"Humph, you think you can show off your Five Elements Escape Technique in front of me? Today, I will let you see my skills!"

The old ancestor of Fiery Flame snorted coldly, a cold look flashed in his eyes, he quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and the flames around him became more and more violent, as if they were going to swallow up the entire world.

"Fire Spirit Sealing Formation, rise!" With a low shout, the two fire dragons instantly turned into two flame chains, carrying scorching heat and endless pressure, and entangled towards Li Mu.

The Fire Spirit Sealing Array is one of the unique skills of the Liehuo Patriarch. It uses the power of the Dao of Fire to seal away all spirits. Once trapped in it, even a strong man in the Mahayana stage will find it difficult to escape.

The next moment, Li Mu felt as if he was in a furnace of heaven and earth. His consciousness was surrounded by endless flames, as if he was thrown into a furnace that would never go out. The air was filled with destructive high temperatures, which made his skin feel a faint burning pain. Even with a chaotic Taoist body, it was difficult to completely isolate himself from the scorching heat coming from the depths of his soul.

Sensing this scene, Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly. This old ancestor of Fiery Fire was indeed quite skilled in Taoism. His control over the laws of fire was superb, far beyond his current understanding of the laws of fire.

After Li Mu practiced the Great Dao of Chaos and advanced to the Fusion Realm, his understanding of various Daos deepened day by day. However, he knew very well that the Daos were as vast as the ocean, and each one had its own unique features, and the same was true for the Dao of Fire.

The law of fire not only includes the fiery power of burning everything and melting metals, but also contains many different categories such as light, purification, and growth.

The Fire Spirit Sealing Array performed by the Old Ancestor Liehuo is the ultimate embodiment of burning and sealing in the principles of fire. Through the condensation and arrangement of the fire elements, it forms an existence that is almost an absolute domain, trapping the enemy within it, constantly burning them with flames and oppressing their souls.

However, Li Mu knew in his heart that the mystery of the Law of Fire was far more than that.

"If I can master more types of fire principles, I will definitely find a way to break this fire formation." Li Mu thought to himself. While dodging the pursuit of the flame chains, he tried to feel the special principles of this fire formation and attempted to comprehend the secret from it.

As Li Mu's understanding of this formation deepened, he gradually discovered that although the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation was mainly used to seal and burn souls, its core lies in the ultimate condensation and rejection of the Dao element of fire...

Time flies, and Li Mu has been trapped in the Fire Spirit Sealing Array for some time. However, during this period of time, he showed no sign of panic, and his spirit did not show any signs of exhaustion.

The Fiery Ancestor frowned, and gradually felt something was wrong. You know, even a Mahayana strongman would not be able to hold out for too long if he fell into the Fire Spirit Sealing Array, let alone a cultivator in the Fusion Realm. However, Li Mu in front of him seemed to have formed a delicate balance with the fire array. Not only was he not completely swallowed by the flames, but he seemed to be communicating with the Dao Yuan of Fire.

"What on earth is this kid doing?" Old Ancestor Liehuo was full of doubts and decided to increase the power of the Fire Spirit Sealing Array to see what means he had to resist.

As the Old Ancestor of the Fire formed seals with his hands once again, the flames in the Fire Spirit Sealing Array instantly became more violent, the temperature rose sharply, and the power to seal and burn the soul became stronger.

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, but he was not in a hurry. The chaotic magic power in his body surged and began to interact with the surrounding fire principles.

"The five elements are born together, the Fire Extinction Realm appears!"

Li Mu let out a low shout, and the chaotic magic power in his body gushed out like a river bursting its banks, transforming into a fire-shaped magic domain of the same origin.

As soon as the fire-shaped magic domain appeared, Li Mu, who was originally trapped in the Fire Spirit Sealing Array and attacked by the extreme fire element and burned, felt relieved as if he had a safe haven. The fire-shaped magic domain not only isolated the violent flames from the outside world, but also in a miraculous way, slowly absorbed the fire element in the Fire Spirit Sealing Array, transforming it into power that Li Mu could control.

"This is called fighting fire with fire, using the power of the formation to feed back into oneself." Li Mu smiled complacently, full of joy, and skillfully used the evolutionary power of his own Chaos Principle to bring the power of the Fire Principle to its extreme.

At this moment, Li Mu was calm and composed, standing at the center of the Fire Spirit Sealing Array. The flames there no longer posed any threat, but instead revolved around him like docile servants.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

The face of the old ancestor Liehuo changed drastically, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe that the killer move he had used was easily resisted by a combined cultivator and could not cause any harm to him. (End of this chapter)
