Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Three years later, the Dark Water Sea is a vast expanse of water with sparkling waves and surging undercurrents.

A fifth-level black spirit turtle with a huge body and a deep shell. It hid in the dark water sea, sliding its huge limbs and moving forward at a very fast speed.

Although the Mingshui Sea is called a sea, it is actually full of mysteries. The underwater caves are intricate and the undercurrents are unpredictable. Even a practitioner with profound cultivation will lose his way or even die here if he is not careful.

As a fifth-level spiritual beast, the Black Mystical Spirit Turtle not only possesses an indestructible defense, but also knows the terrain of the Nether Water Sea like the back of its hand. It quickly shuttles between the underwater mountains and avoids waters that may be dangerous.

The Black Mystical Spirit Turtle seemed to be receiving inexplicable guidance, and was heading towards an unknown area in the deepest part of the Nether Water Sea with a clear goal. As the Black Mystical Spirit Turtle continued to go deeper, the water temperature around it gradually dropped, and the light became dim. Only the faint spiritual light on its back drew light tracks in the dark sea.

The Black Mystic Spirit Turtle did not seem to be afraid of the unknown darkness, but rather became more excited, paddling its limbs faster and faster. Suddenly, a huge underwater whirlpool appeared in front of it, spinning and swallowing everything around it. Even with the Black Mystic Spirit Turtle's strength, it had to slow down and carefully bypass it.

With its profound understanding of the Dark Water Sea, the Black Spirit Turtle skillfully circumvented the huge, heart-pounding whirlpool.

As the Black Spirit Turtle gradually moved away from the whirlpool, the surrounding environment seemed to become softer. Although the water temperature was still low, it was no longer bitingly cold. Although the light was dim, the outline of the scenery ahead could be vaguely recognized.

The Black Tortoise's speed gradually slowed down, as if it had reached its destination. Finally, it stopped in an underwater valley surrounded by tall coral reefs.

This valley is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is quiet and mysterious, like a pure land forgotten by time. Various exotic underwater plants grow on the coral reefs, emitting soft light, making this valley look like a dream.

The Black Mystical Spirit Turtle slowly landed on a flat rock at the bottom of the valley. The next moment, a green Ruyi hidden in the neck of the Black Mystical Spirit Turtle emerged. With a flash of spiritual light, several figures appeared one after another.

Li Mu was dressed in a tight black robe, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, his face was firm, his brows revealed an unyielding heroic spirit, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world, his long black hair was casually scattered, swaying gently with the flow of spiritual power that blocked the sea water, adding a bit of unruly and unrestrainedness to him.

Following closely behind, Xue'er in a white dress came out lightly. She had a graceful figure, like a fairy in the water. The white dress looked even more pure and flawless against the backdrop of the sea water. Her black hair was like a waterfall, gently falling on her shoulders, exuding a faint luster.

The gorgeous palace dress woman transformed by the red fire phoenix frowned slightly, obviously not happy with the current underwater environment. She was wearing a fiery red dress, the hem of which was like a burning flame, isolating the surrounding seawater. Her face was beautiful, her skin was white as snow, and her eyes seemed to contain blazing fire, flashing with unyielding and pride. Her fiery red hair was scattered like a waterfall, like a fire elf, exuding a palpitating charm.

The young man transformed by the Qingyue True Dragon is tall, mighty and domineering. He is dressed in a green shirt with fluttering sleeves. There is a green dragon scale embedded between his eyebrows. His pupils are vertical, and he looks weird yet majestic. He exudes powerful dragon power. His long black hair is tied up with a small green sword, which makes him look neat and tidy.

The rough man transformed by the blue-eyed Jin Yuan gave people a mysterious feeling. He was dressed in a golden suit, with a strong body and clear muscle lines, revealing an explosive power. His short golden hair stood up, and he looked energetic. His hands were clenched into fists, and there was a faint golden light flashing on his fists.

The honest man transformed from the black jade rock lizard followed closely behind. He was burly, like a walking hill, with skin the color of black jade and a faint luster. He was wearing a black suit made of unknown material, with complex totems embroidered on his clothes. He had an honest face, a simple and innocent look in his eyes, and a warm smile on his lips, which made people feel friendly and warm.

The old man transformed by the Jade Ginseng King was the last to appear. He was thin but energetic, with wisdom shining in his eyes. He was dressed in a white robe, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind. He had a kind face and a faint smile on his lips. His silver hair was like frost, tied up with a simple jade hairpin, looking neat and tidy. He held an emerald cane in his hand, and the top of the cane was inlaid with a emerald jade, emitting a soft light.

As several people appeared, the Black Mystical Spirit Turtle looked at them with awe, shrank aside, and dared not move.

"Master, is the divine water of that day right here?" The blue-eyed golden ape looked at Li Mu and couldn't wait to ask everyone's question.

“Yes, it is in this sea area and has never left. However, ever since it escaped from the seal formation and merged into the endless ocean, it has gained a large amount of spiritual water. Its spirituality has greatly increased and its whereabouts are uncertain. It is not easy to capture it.” Li Mu looked into the depths of the valley with deep eyes. His gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness and look directly at the location of the Tianyi Divine Water.

"Master, what should we do! How can we track it in this vast ocean?" Qingyue True Dragon frowned. It had stayed in the Mingshui Secret Realm for more than a hundred years. No one knew the power of Tianyi Divine Water better than him.

"Ninth-level divine water, melted into the ocean, the power of the entire sea area depends on it."

"The Tianyi Divine Water is like a fish in water in this sea area, and its home advantage cannot be underestimated. Not only can it use the spiritual power of the entire Nether Water Sea area to hide its body, but it can also mobilize the surrounding water elements to form a natural barrier and means of attack. If we approach rashly, it is likely to trigger its counterattack. At that time, the power of the entire sea area will become its weapon, launching an overwhelming offensive against us."

“What’s even more tricky is that the Tianyi Divine Water seems to have some kind of resonance with this sea area. Its spirituality may have merged with the Mingshui Sea and is difficult to separate. This means that not only do we have to deal with the power of the Tianyi Divine Water itself, but we also have to deal with the complex environment that it and this sea area have jointly created.” Qingyue True Dragon looked at Li Mu and added solemnly.

Upon hearing this, all the beast masters fell into silence, their faces solemn.

Previously, under the leadership of Li Mu, they had the honor to work together to seal the ninth-level - Cang Yuan Qingmu, and experienced firsthand the power of the ninth-level divine object.

However, this was when the ninth-level Cang Yuan Qingmu's spirit fell into a deep sleep, and they paid a huge price to barely succeed. But this time, they have to face Tianyi Divine Water, a ninth-level divine water in its prime and with the home advantage.

Thinking of this, all the beast masters looked solemn. Li Mu smiled and said confidently: "Qingyue is right. It is very difficult to subdue Tianyi Divine Water. I have the eighth-level Blue Sea Tide Sound Dew on hand. With this, we can actively attract it. The Blue Sea Tide Sound Dew contains the purest power and rhythm of the sea. For a high-level water-attributed spiritual object like Tianyi Divine Water, it is undoubtedly a feast. Set up a large formation here and wait for it to fall into the trap. However, we only have one chance. You and I need to hide our bodies and restrain our breath so that it won't be discovered."

Li Mu's words were like a shot of adrenaline, which slightly cheered up the originally depressing atmosphere.

“Master, the spirituality of the Ninth Rank Heavenly One Divine Water is unmatched. How can we hide from its perception in this vast ocean?” Scarlet Fire Phoenix frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yes! We are fine. Let's restrain our breath. We are not conspicuous in this deep sea. It would be a bit out of place for Daoist Fellow Fire Phoenix to be here!" The Green Jade Ginseng King looked at Li Mu and reminded him.

The six beasts had to cooperate with Li Mu to set up the Chaos Soul Sealing Array in the deep sea. However, in the special environment of the seabed, they seemed particularly embarrassed.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "I have expected this. There is an underwater volcano hidden under this sea. Although the volcano has been dormant for many years, the magma power contained in it is still majestic. Although the spirituality of Tianyi Divine Water is strong, water and fire cannot coexist and are naturally repelled. Chi Lian, you will guard under the underwater volcano and will definitely be able to hide it from its prying eyes."

Upon hearing this, all the beast masters sent out their spiritual thoughts in the direction indicated by Li Mu. Sure enough, after exploring with their spiritual thoughts, they felt a faint heat wave coming from the depths of the seabed and the tremendous power hidden in the deep darkness. That ancient underwater volcano had been left with mottled marks by the years, but the surging magma inside the volcano was like a sleeping dragon that could wake up at any time and erupt with amazing power.

"Master, this underwater volcano is indeed an excellent hiding place." A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Red Fire Phoenix. She knew very well that her fire power had a natural affinity with the volcanic magma. If she could take this opportunity to guard the volcano, she could not only conceal her own breath, but also play an unexpected role at the critical moment.

“That’s right, Chi Lian, you guard the volcano and use your flames to resonate with the magma to form an invisible barrier. In this way, the perception of Tianyi Divine Water will be greatly disturbed, making it difficult to detect your existence.” Li Mu nodded in approval. His plan was being realized step by step.

"But, master, you want to set up the formation in this valley. The underwater volcano is dozens of miles away. How can you connect the formation?" Qingyue Zhenlong frowned and asked in confusion.

"I have already considered this." Li Mu's expression became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "In order to cut off the connection between Tianyi Divine Water and the Mingshui Sea and more safely take Tianyi Divine Water, I plan to spend some time to set up several large formations here."

"The first big formation is called 'Sky-Hiding and Breath-Concealing Formation'. This formation can completely conceal our breath and figure. Even the sharp spirituality of Tianyi Divine Water will find it difficult to detect our existence. This formation will be centered on the valley, and with the help of the surrounding terrain and the flow of spiritual power, it will form several hidden spaces, which will become your hiding places." Li Mu introduced to the beastmasters.

"The second formation is the most critical 'Earth Fire and Water Blocking Formation'. This formation will use the power of the underwater volcano. It will be set up between the volcano and the deep valley. Once this formation is activated, it will be filled with the power of earth and fire. All fluctuations of water spirit power will be isolated and unable to communicate with the outside world. In this way, Tianyi Divine Water will not be able to use the power of the Dark Water Sea."

"There is also a third formation. I call it the 'Void Spirit Isolation Formation'. This formation will use the eighth-level Void Spirit Realm Crystal as the core to create a space independent of the outside world. In this space, all energy fluctuations will be isolated and not a single bit can leak out."

"When we subdue the Tianyi Divine Water, there will inevitably be huge energy fluctuations. If these fluctuations are sensed by other strong people, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. The 'Void Spirit Isolation Array' can perfectly solve this problem. It can create a closed independent space at the critical moment when we subdue the Tianyi Divine Water, block all energy fluctuations inside, and ensure that there is no risk of error." Li Mu smiled and gave a detailed introduction to the beast masters. As for the eighth-level - Void Spirit Realm Crystal, it was the spoils from the Tianxu Demon Emperor.

“Finally, we will use the formation tools to jointly set up the Chaos Soul Sealing Formation!” Li Mu’s expression became more and more solemn. The arrangement of these three formations will be directly related to whether they can successfully subdue the Tianyi Divine Water.

"These four formations complement each other. They can not only hide our whereabouts, but also isolate the Tianyi Divine Water from the outside world, and at the critical moment, completely seal off its spirituality. Master, your plan is really perfect!" A trace of admiration flashed in Qingyue Zhenlong's eyes. He knew very well that the arrangement of these three formations would require such exquisite formations and spiritual power control skills. "

"Brother Li is far-sighted and will surely succeed in getting the Tianyi Divine Water!" Xue'er looked at Li Mu with admiration and said sincerely.

However, setting up a formation of this scale would require unprecedented time, energy, and materials. But at the same time, Li Mu was so well prepared and thoughtful, that once the formations were set up, their power would be astounding. Getting the Tianyi Divine Water would be, if not a sure thing, at least 70% to 80%.

"Master, the scale of this formation is huge, and the materials needed to set up the formation may be..." The Green Jade Ginseng King looked at Li Mu with some concern. To set up three large formations, the materials needed must be extremely precious and difficult to obtain.

"Don't worry about this, I have already prepared it." Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Over the years, I have collected a lot of precious materials for setting up the formation, plus the spoils of several Mahayana monks. The material consumption is extremely high, but it should still be enough."

"Master, it is not easy to set up so many large formations. If you need my help, just let me know!" Chilian Huofeng leaned forward slightly and said respectfully.

"Master, just give me your orders!"

The Beastmasters were cheered up and nodded one after another, with determination flashing in their eyes, and they spoke in unison.

Looking at the determined eyes of the beast masters, Li Mu felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Good! With you here, I am more confident." Li Mu smiled and nodded, then continued: "It does take some effort to set up these three formations. However, with your participation, the division of labor is clear, and I'm sure we can speed up the completion."

Afterwards, Li Mu arranged all the matters that they could do during the formation. Of course, most of the core matters of the formation still needed to be completed by him personally. (End of this chapter)
