Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After completing the transaction, Li Mu left the stall not long ago. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "You have been following us for so long, why don't you show up and see us?"

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out from the shadows on the street corner. He was wearing a black robe, and his face was hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of deep eyes. He exuded an aura that should not be underestimated. When this person appeared, the surrounding demon cultivators seemed not to notice him.

Immediately afterwards, a force of nothingness surged out of his body, carrying Li Mu and Xiao Jin into a special space. The surrounding demon cultivators and the streets of Wan Yao City disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already sensed it and did not care about the other party's behavior.

"You found me so quickly. Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Wan Yao City?" The man in black robe exclaimed in surprise and asked Li Mu impatiently.

"You are such a coward, shouldn't you blow up your own house first?"

The blue-eyed golden ape-Xiao Jin shouted angrily.

As a 'guard', he felt remiss in his duty as he had only just discovered the hidden enemy. Even though the other party had revealed the cultivation of an eighth-rank demon king, Xiao Jin had his master, Li Mu, to rely on, so he was not afraid at all.

“How dare you! I understand that it is extremely difficult for you to advance to the seventh-level true spirit with the golden ape bloodline, so I will forgive your rudeness. If you dare to do it again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” The black-robed demon cultivator was furious, his eyes were grim, and he shouted solemnly.

As an eighth-rank demon king, he has already displayed the cultivation and aura he should have. This ignorant golden ape actually dared to contradict him. He is simply ignorant of his own limitations.

Facing the black-robed demon cultivator's angry shout, Xiao Jin sneered. He was about to say something in rebuttal, but Li Mu quickly stopped him, saying, "Xiao Jin, don't be rude!"

Seeing that Xiao Jin was still indignant after being stopped, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a headache. If he had known earlier, Xiao Wa and Qingyue would have followed him. Xiao Jin was a guy who didn't know the consequences of his words.

"Demon Emperor Tianxu, thank you for your visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I wonder if you have any advice for me." Li Mu's eyes flashed with a sharp light and he continued with a smile.

With the innate magical power of identifying all spirits, the attributes of the person who came appeared in Li Mu's eyes one by one, and he immediately learned his identity and a lot of information.

[Void Spirit]

[Rank: Eighth-rank Demon King]

[Features: illusory body, time travel, illusory perception, illusory transformation, virtual domain control! ]

[Status: Spiritual consciousness awakened, overwhelming pressure]

[From the void of the endless void, the spirits gathered by chance in the Jade Illusionary Space. After ten thousand years of hard training, it finally took shape as the Eighth Level Demon King. Because of the strangeness of its birth, it combines the mysteries of the void and time. It is good at the art of time and space, can manipulate the flow of time and space, and sense the movements of all spirits. It also has a magical power, the control of the spirit realm, which can build a dedicated void domain in an instant and trap the enemy invisibly. ]

Tianxu Demon Emperor was not surprised at all when Li Mu saw through his identity. He lifted up his black hood and revealed his true face.

After the Demon Emperor Tianxu took off his hood, his true face was immediately revealed to Li Mu and Xiao Jin. It was an extremely strange face, pale and almost transparent, as if it was made of moonlight and the air of the void, revealing a kind of emptiness and depth that did not belong to this world.

His head was similar to that of a human, neither beautiful nor ugly, but extremely strange, with a medium-sized face, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but he exuded a heart-pounding charm. A pair of horns grew from his forehead, crystal clear, as if carved from the purest void crystal, flashing a faint blue light, echoing his deep eyes.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Wan Yao City?" Demon Emperor Tianxu glanced at Xiao Jin who was nervously preparing for battle, then fixed his gaze on Li Mu and asked again.

Facing the pair of deep eyes of the Demon Emperor Tianxu that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Li Mu remained calm and made up an identity to respond: "I am the elder of the Qingxuan Sect, Li Changfeng. I have heard of the name of the Ten Thousand Demon City for a long time. I happened to pass by here, so I came to take a look. I never thought that I would meet the Demon Emperor here by chance. It is really fate."

Upon hearing this, Demon Emperor Tianxu's gaze lingered on Li Mu for a moment, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

"Elder of the Qingxuan Sect? Humph, human cultivators and the demon clan have always kept to themselves. I'm afraid your visit this time is not just a simple passing by." The Demon Emperor Tianxu's face darkened and he asked harshly.

Li Mu sighed, his eyes became deep, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart. He honestly admitted: "Master Monster King has a sharp gaze. To be honest, I came to the Ten Thousand Monsters City this time to escape the disaster."

Hearing this, Tianxu Demon Emperor frowned slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his deep eyes, as if he was not surprised by Li Mu's answer.

Li Mu looked solemn and continued, "The situation in the spiritual world is turbulent now. The forces of the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Spirit Tribulation have invaded, killing people everywhere and causing great suffering to all living beings. My Qingxuan Sect is also one of the major sects in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, but under such a world-destroying catastrophe, it is also impossible to escape the fate of being destroyed. In order to avoid the catastrophe, I had no choice but to flee with the guardian beast of the sect, Xiao Jin, and come to the territory of the demon clan for refuge."

"Really?" After listening to Li Mu's story, Demon Emperor Tianxu couldn't help but believe it a little. Now, the army of the Demon Abyss and the army of the Immortal Spirit Tribulation, the two forces have invaded the spirit world one after another, using the spirit world as a battlefield, confronting and pulling.

The natives of the spirit world, the human cultivators, and even the demon race, all became innocent victims of this catastrophe, or were forced to be pawns in the war. Thinking of this, a complicated look flashed in the eyes of the Demon King Tianxu.

"Since you have come to this city to seek refuge, why don't you try to please me and reject my kindness!" Demon Emperor Tianxu looked at Li Mu meaningfully and questioned.

Hearing this, Li Mu gave a bitter smile and quickly explained, "Master Monster King, you have misunderstood. I did not mean to refuse, but it is my character that makes me not like to depend on others, and I do not want to get involved in too many fights. I came to the Ten Thousand Monsters City this time out of helplessness. I just wanted to find a place to settle down, and I did not have any other ideas."

“Hmph, Ten Thousand Monsters City doesn’t support idlers. It’s not impossible for you to stay in Ten Thousand Monsters City if you want to. But if you don’t want to depend on me, then you have to show enough strength and value. Otherwise, get out of here as far away as you can!” Demon Emperor Tianxu snorted coldly, with greed in his eyes.

"Oh! What does the Demon King mean?" Li Mu was slightly stunned and asked with a smile. "You have a good eye. You can find the treasure of the Void Altar in the scattered market. Hand them over and I will not bother with you!" Tianxu Demon King changed the subject and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this guy would try to snatch away the big bargain he had just picked up.

"My Lord Demon King, you are too domineering!" Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of murderous intent!
"What, you want to fight me? Think it over carefully!" The Demon Emperor Tianxu sneered, as if he had anticipated Li Mu's reaction. He slowly raised his hand, and the surrounding void domain fluctuated. Invisible forces began to condense around him, ready to attack at any time.

Li Mu frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Void Spirit Altar is also my favorite, how can I easily hand it over to others? If I really have shortcomings, Lord Demon King can teach me, but if you use power to bully others, although I am not talented, I am not willing to be bullied."

Hearing this, the Demon Emperor Tianxu laughed in anger, his voice as cold as the wind piercing the bones: "Do you know how many people in this Demon City have ended up with no remains left because of a momentary anger? This emperor gives you a chance, if you don't cherish it, then don't blame this emperor for being ruthless."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, the air froze, and even the passage of time became slow. Xiao Jin was standing aside, feeling extremely anxious. He stared at the Demon Emperor Tianxu, ready to deal with any crisis that might arise at any time.

“Hmph, since you don’t want to accept my toast and want to drink the penalty wine, then I will let you know what true power is!” The Demon Emperor Tianxu snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage.

The next moment, the figure of the Demon Emperor Tianxu suddenly appeared above Li Mu's head. A huge hand condensed from the void, with endless pressure, slapped him hard.

Without even moving a word, Li Mu took action. His hands quickly flipped and two seventh-order Taoist talismans with cold light - Thousand Frost Cold Domain Talismans - were taken out from the Tianxuan Ring out of thin air. They emitted a biting cold and endless power of frost and snow, and were suddenly released towards the Tianxu Demon Emperor above.

“Hmph, you want to seal my void domain with just two talismans?” The Demon Emperor Tianxu sneered and waved his right hand. The void power around him surged, as if to easily dissolve the two talismans.

However, an imperceptible sneer appeared on Li Mu's lips. He had already seen through the opponent's plan. The two Thousand Frost Cold Domain Talismans were not used alone, but were a chain of strategies he had carefully prepared.

The first talisman exploded in the air and instantly turned into a world of ice and snow. The cold air spread and froze the surrounding space. The second talisman, under the cover of the cold air, broke out silently in the void domain of the Tianxu Demon Emperor, and a cold wave came in an instant.

"What?" The face of Demon Emperor Tianxu changed. He found that cracks had begun to appear in his void domain, as if it was being corroded from the inside by some force. The cold air was like a maggot attached to his bones, constantly corroding his domain.

At this moment, Li Mu's figure flashed, and the Five Elements Earth Escape Technique was performed, taking Xiao Jinrong into the depths of the earth. Surrounded by earth-shaped elements, his figure became illusory and unpredictable. In just a moment, they had broken through the void domain of Tianxu Demon Emperor and rushed towards the outside of Wan Yao City.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The Demon King Tianxu shouted angrily. How could he let Li Mu go easily, especially when he knew that the other party might have treasure on him.

Li Mu had already anticipated that the other party would do this. While escaping, he cast another seventh-level cleaning talisman, temporarily blocking the way of the Demon Emperor Tianxu.

Demon Emperor Tianxu snorted coldly. He would naturally not be trapped by this small talisman, but this delay was enough for Li Mu and Xiao Jin to escape from Wan Yao City.

After escaping from the City of Ten Thousand Demons, Li Mu did not stop immediately. He quickly formed seals with his hands and silently chanted a spell. A ray of five elements light burst out from his body and instantly transformed into a five elements substitute that was exactly the same as Li Mu. The substitute's clothes and aura were no different from those of Li Mu and Xiao Jin's original bodies.

A total of four teams fled separately. When Li Mu and Xiao Jin's real bodies flew hundreds of miles out of Wan Yao City and looked back at the city surrounded by demonic aura, Tianxu Demon Emperor used his speed advantage to quickly chase and eliminate Li Mu's three five-element clones.

"Master, what should we do next? He is chasing us!" Xiao Jin asked with worry in his eyes as he looked at the Demon King Tianxu who was chasing after him in a hurry.

"There's no choice but to fight!" A strange look flashed across Li Mu's face, and he was not surprised but happy.

He was just worrying about how to deal with the Demon Kings in Wan Yao City so that he could quietly take away the ninth-level divine item - Cang Yuan Qing Mu! Now, the Demon King Tian Xu came to him, so Li Mu couldn't be blamed for being rude.

Li Mu had a plan in mind and flew to a remote area, a place with mountains and ravines, which was a perfect place to set up the formation.

Li Mu put his mind into the Tianxuan Ring and formed seals with his hands. Rays of spiritual light flew out from his fingertips. Formation cards emerged and turned into formation bases, which silently merged into the surrounding rocks and soil.

"Xiao Jin, follow me!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice. He turned around and took Xiao Jin to a higher place, waiting for the Demon Emperor Tianxu.

The Demon Emperor Tianxu was still chasing after him, never expecting Li Mu to dare to stop on his own initiative and choose such a remote place as the battlefield. The moment he stepped into the valley, an ominous premonition came to his mind, but it was too late.

Li Mu waved his hands, and rays of light rose from the ground. The five elements intertwined to form a huge five-element barrier, isolating the valley from the outside world. This barrier can not only isolate sound, but also isolate spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for the outside world to perceive any movement in the valley.

"You want to use this formation to trap me? Dream on!" The Demon Emperor Tianxu snorted coldly and waved his hands. The power of the void surged, trying to break through the shackles of the Five Elements barrier. However, he soon discovered that the Five Elements barrier was no trivial matter. The Five Elements were mutually reinforcing and restraining, and there was an endless supply of power supporting this barrier.

Seeing that the Five Elements Barrier was indestructible, Demon Emperor Tianxu's eyes became even colder. If he couldn't break out of the formation as soon as possible, the other party would definitely use other means, and the situation would become even more unfavorable.

The Demon Emperor Tianxu took a deep breath, and the power of the void around him boiled. An extraordinary aura burst out from his body, as if he wanted to bring this world under his control.

“Break the rain of blades of time and space!” The Demon Emperor Tianxu shouted in a low voice, and the Dao Yuan surged. Tiny cracks suddenly appeared in the void, and a dark light shone through the cracks, like the eye of the abyss, staring at everything in this world.

Immediately afterwards, countless blade edges formed by the power of time and space shot out from those gaps, like a torrential rain of blade edges flying out. Each blade edge contained the terrifying power to tear apart space and cut off time, and it slashed fiercely towards the Five Elements Barrier.

"Clang! Clang!" The blades collided with the formation one after another, and a crisp metal collision sound broke out. Sparks flew everywhere, and ripples appeared on the surface of the Five Elements Boundary, which could collapse at any time. (End of this chapter)
