Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The three thousand divine patterns correspond to the three thousand Dao rules. After Li Mu got a glimpse of them, he integrated them into refining weapons and elixirs, with excellent results. However, trying to use them for formation was an unprecedented challenge.

The patterns of instruments are tangible, the patterns of elixirs gather spirits, but the patterns of formations are as intricate and complex as a maze. The operation of the formation force implies the mysteries of space, time, and the sum of cause and effect. Different from the directness of the patterns of instruments and the agility of the patterns of elixirs, the patterns of formations are more precise and related to the changes of the overall formation. They require the person who sets up the formation to have extraordinary perception of space and understanding of time, so as to outline a complex array that can both communicate with the vital energy of heaven and earth and operate according to specific rules.

Li Mu concentrated his mind, and the miniature magic circle in his hand continued to evolve, revealing every detail of the three thousand divine patterns, and deducing the points of convergence between the three thousand divine patterns and the Hunyuan Reversal Soul Sealing Array.

However, this process is much more difficult than imagined.

Whenever Li Mu tried to integrate a certain divine pattern into the micro magic array, the array would become disordered, with the elemental forces entangled and repelled, forming chaotic vortices that made his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness tremble, making it difficult to maintain the stability of the micro magic array.

There was a loud "boom"!
Li Mu only felt a huge backlash force suddenly attacking him, and he involuntarily took several steps back. His face instantly turned pale as paper. After a violent tremor, the miniature magic circle in his hand finally collapsed completely, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

"Failed again!"

Li Mu cast a spell to heal his aching knuckles, his eyes full of helplessness. This was the 32nd time he had failed to integrate the 3,000 divine patterns into the Hunyuan Reversal Sealing Array. Every failure brought him one step further away from success, putting his body and mind under tremendous pressure. At this moment, Xue'er's gentle voice rang in his ears: "Brother Li!"

Seeing Li Mu looking exhausted and frustrated, Xue'er walked to his side distressedly and advised him softly, "Brother Li, you have tried many times in a row. If you continue like this, you will not be able to bear it. Why don't you take a break first and try again when you are in a better condition, or change your thinking and start from other angles, such as studying the basic principles of the formation first, maybe you can find a new breakthrough point!"

Li Mu looked up at Xue'er and nodded with a wry smile. Xue'er was right. He had been too eager for quick success and ignored the complexity and profundity of the formation itself.

"Xue'er, you're right. I should adjust my mindset." Li Mu sighed softly and nodded.

So, Li Mu and Xue'er left the secret room together, walked out of the Five Elements Spiritual Palace, wandered around the treasure house space, and inspected the many spiritual plants in the space.

Inside the treasure house, there was cloud and mist, and the spiritual energy was thick, just like a fairyland. Exotic flowers and plants were blooming, emitting a faint fragrance, which was refreshing. As the two of them strolled there, Li Mu temporarily forgot about the troubles in front of him.

Just then, several figures arrived one after another, watching from afar, as if they wanted to get closer but were a little embarrassed.

Li Mu smiled and called out, "Come over here!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin flew to Li Mu immediately and said, "Master! You are finally out of seclusion. Are you okay?"

Xiao Wa followed closely behind: "Master, Xue'er said that you were injured. We are all very worried about you. How are you now?"

The Blue Moon True Dragon, the Red Fire Phoenix, and the human forms of the Green Jade Ginseng King all appeared in front of Li Mu, looking at him with worried faces, their concerns evident in their words.

"Everything is fine after taking the elixir! Don't worry." Li Mu comforted everyone with a smile. Feeling the current state of cultivation of the five beasts, he felt very relieved.

Ever since they came out of the Extreme Secret Realm, their cultivation has all reached the seventh level of True Spirit. Unfortunately, their aptitude is limited. Except for the slightly better Qingyue True Dragon bloodline, being able to break through the seventh level of True Spirit is already their limit. If they want to go one step further and advance to the eighth level, they will probably need tremendous opportunity and luck.

"The Extreme Secret Realm has disintegrated due to the collapse of the Three Realms Sealing Array. It may be difficult for the Spirit Realm to find a paradise suitable for you to practice and help you break through your cultivation!" Li Mu sighed with some regret as he looked at the Beast Tamers.

"Master, you don't have to feel sorry for us. Since following you, our cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds and has reached an unprecedented height! Now, although we have not been able to step into the eighth level, our current cultivation level is already the realm that many creatures dream of. I am already very satisfied!" Xiao Jin spoke quickly, contentedly.

"Yes, master! Not only do you always care about our growth and find various rare resources for us, but it is under your careful care that we can achieve what we have today. Our hearts are full of gratitude, how can we dare to ask for more?" Xiao Wa nodded repeatedly and said solemnly.

"Master, we will always remember your kindness to us. The path of cultivation is difficult, and it is our greatest luck to have a master like you to guide us!" Qingyue Zhenlong readily agreed.

"Master, you have done so much for us! If it weren't for your help and grace, I don't know what would have happened to us!" said the Red Fire Phoenix with emotion.

"Yes! Master, you don't need to worry about our cultivation. It is enough for us to be by your side!" The Green Jade Ginseng King had a satisfied look on his face and sincerely comforted Li Mu.

As soon as the Jade Ginseng King finished speaking, Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa and the others nodded.

Although the Extreme Realm is a very suitable place for them to practice, compared with staying with Li Mu, the sense of security and happiness far exceeds those disappeared secret realms. In this world where the strong are respected, it is so rare and precious to have a powerful and loving master.

Moreover, their master, Li Mu, is a man who is extremely good at creating miracles, and his progress in cultivation is simply astonishingly fast.

They witnessed with their own eyes how Li Mu advanced from a foundation-building cultivator to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Refining Void stages, easily passing through unimaginable levels of cultivation. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds like a bamboo unstoppable force, as if no bottleneck could stop his progress.

You have to know that Li Mu's original purpose of subduing them was to have them protect him for a thousand years. Now, in less than a thousand years, he has surpassed their cultivation and become an existence that they need to look up to.

What is even more amazing is that their master, Li Mu, not only has amazing talent in cultivation, but also has extraordinary attainments in many arts. In the art of refining, he can refine seventh-level Taoist instruments that contain the laws of heaven and earth. He is very skilled in all of them and is sought after by countless high-level cultivators. In the field of alchemy, he can refine Taoist pills, whether they are healing elixirs or Taoist pills that improve cultivation.

At the same time, making talismans and arranging formations, and even puppetry, were also his specialties. The seventh-level puppets he refined were even more powerful than those of their seventh-level True Spirit peak Beastmasters. Thinking of this, the Beastmasters' admiration for Li Mu deepened.

Facing the worshipful, grateful and eager gazes of the beast masters, Li Mu smiled silently, nodded and said, "That's good. The outside world is in chaos right now because of the reopening of the channel to the three realms and the invasion of the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Realm. You should stay in the treasure mansion and practice. If you need anything, just tell me." "Master, we volunteer to practice in the treasure mansion, but we also hope to share some of the pressure for you!" Qingyue True Dragon looked at Li Mu and agreed sincerely.

"Yes! Master, if you need us, we will do our best and never back down!" Xiao Jin's green eyes flashed with determination, and he took a step forward, as if he was ready to face any challenge.

Xiao Wa also expressed his opinion, saying in a muffled voice: "Master, although our strength is limited, we are willing to do our best to contribute to you."

As he spoke, Xiao Wa displayed his strength. The powerful earth-type spiritual power of the seventh-level true spirit surged out of his body and transformed into layers of indestructible earth shields that surrounded his body, demonstrating his powerful cultivation. He was only a trace of extreme Taoism away from breaking through to the next level - the eighth level.

"Well, Xiao Wa, it seems that you have inherited the true teachings of Taoist Master Chihong!" Li Mu nodded approvingly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Master, you are too kind. The inheritance of Taoist Chihong is indeed amazing and has benefited me a lot." Xiao Wa straightened his back, smiled honestly, and his face was filled with pride.

Upon seeing this, all the beast masters displayed their cultivation aura. The Green Jade Ginseng King smiled slightly and released a circle of emerald green demonic power, like the vibrant spring light, gentle and powerful.

Xiao Jin was not willing to be outdone. His whole body was shining with golden light, which was extremely sharp. The powerful fluctuations in his cultivation had already reached the peak of the seventh level of True Spirit, and he was only one step away from being promoted to the eighth level.

A faint aura of oppression surrounded the Blue Moon True Dragon, emanating from the Green Water Dao Domain. He was also at the peak of the seventh level, ready to cross that threshold at any time and enter the ranks of the eighth level of Mahayana. His pair of emerald green vertical pupils were like deep pools of water, flashing with pride and revealing a temperament that was detached from the mundane.

"I am very pleased to see how you have grown." Li Mu's eyes moved over the five beasts and he nodded happily.

The five beasts vied with each other to display the aura of their true cultivation. The fluctuations of their spiritual energy intertwined with each other, forming a powerful force that could not be ignored, causing the entire treasure house space to tremble.

Looking at this scene, suddenly, Li Mu had a flash of inspiration, as if he thought of something. His eyes lost their anxiety and seemed to be in enlightenment.

“If we can integrate the three thousand divine patterns into the weapon array, using the weapons as a medium, we may be able to smoothly communicate the vital energy of heaven and earth, while avoiding the various drawbacks of directly setting up the array…” Li Mu murmured to himself in a low voice, his eyes flashing with excitement.

As he spoke, Li Mu made a move with his hand, and several low-level crystal stones of different attributes emerged. His mind was like a knife, accurately and swiftly carving and meticulously sculpting the array patterns, turning them into tiny array bases.

The chaotic force surged out like a gurgling stream, jumping on Li Mu's fingertips. In a blink of an eye, seven tiny array bases were arranged according to a certain pattern, as if they were constructing a microcosmic world. With the injection of chaotic magic power, faint light began to flicker between the array bases. These lights gradually gathered to form complex patterns.

Soon, in the bewildered and puzzled eyes of the beast masters, the crystal stone micro-magic array in Li Mu's hand began to change. The patterns on the array base became clearer and clearer, and countless spiritual patterns quickly merged, becoming more and more complex. They seemed to have life, like elves dancing. The light emitted by the magic array formed by low-level crystal stones also became more and more dazzling, and the power became more and more terrifying.

The rich spiritual energy in the treasure house space seemed to be attracted by a powerful force and gathered from all directions.

"Congeal!"

With a low shout, Li Mu suddenly clasped his hands together, and the light on the array base instantly converged, turning into a miniature magic array, quietly floating above his palms, operating calmly, but containing amazing power. In the calm, there was a breath of destruction.

Li Mu's eyes were sparkling, as if he was still not satisfied. He summoned several different spiritual materials of higher levels from the Tianxuan Ring and began to refine them. A ball of terrifying brown flame emerged from his hands. After a few seconds, the seven materials gradually melted in the flame and transformed into seven instrument embryos, which began to condense instrument patterns and engrave array patterns.

This flame is obviously Li Mu's great magical power, the "Fire of Chaos". Not only is it extremely hot and able to melt everything, it also contains extremely terrifying principles of the Tao, which are all-encompassing.

"Zizzi-"

With the integration of high-level spiritual materials, more complex patterns began to emerge on the surface of the magic array. These patterns were like the veins of heaven and earth, containing endless mysteries and power. The light of the magic array also became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to illuminate the entire treasure house space.

The beast masters watching on the side were stunned. They had never seen such miraculous methods before, and their admiration for Li Mu deepened a little bit.

"Xue'er, what is the master doing? Why is he suddenly refining a spiritual weapon?" Xiao Jin looked at Xue'er in confusion and asked with concern.

"Yes! What kind of spiritual weapon did the master refine? The refining technique is so magical, and the power is terrifying!" The Green Jade Ginseng King said with shock in his eyes.

"It's an array device. The master seems to be testing a small array device. It seems that because the high-level materials are too precious, complex, and incomplete, he can only use third- and fourth-level refining spiritual materials as a substitute." The Red Refining Fire Phoenix responded.

They each learned some skills from Li Mu. The Green Jade Ginseng King learned how to refine pills, the Red Fire Phoenix learned how to refine weapons, the Blue Moon True Dragon learned how to draw talismans and refine weapons... Therefore, the Red Fire Phoenix could see that Li Mu was refining weapons, and had a certain understanding of the process and materials of refining weapons.

"Yes, the master used a new refining technique. There is something wrong with the pattern on the weapon, and there are too many condensed patterns! It's a miraculous skill!" Qingyue True Dragon was amazed, his green eyes flashing with admiration and worship.

Qingyue Zhenlong was more concerned about the technical details: "This refining technique seems to have integrated many rules of the avenue. It is not just a single way of refining, but also includes the exquisiteness of the formation and the mystery of the talisman... The master is trying to integrate various forces to create an unprecedented new artifact."

Hearing this, the beast masters became more curious. They stared at the weapon refining that Li Mu was performing. At the same time, they cast their eyes towards Xue'er, eager to learn some information from her.

Seeing their curious and expectant eyes, Xue'er smiled slightly and explained softly: "Brother Li, because of the damage caused by the sealing of the ninth-level divine object - the Sun Essence Gold, there was a huge commotion. Therefore, during this period of time, he has been in seclusion and trying to find ways to improve the sealing formation. Now, it seems that he seems to have other ideas." (End of this chapter)
