Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Under the suppression of the Nine-Colored Fire Phoenix, the Primal Chaos Fire Domain collapsed to a radius of ten feet, and Li Mu's Primal Chaos Tao body was covered with spider-web-like charred cracks.

Tianfeng Immortal Emperor lightly tapped his fingertips, and the Nirvana Wheel emerged from his brow. Nine chains wrapped with fire patterns penetrated the fire domain and nailed Li Mu's limbs to the void. Nirvana fire rushed in frantically along the chains, and his Chaos Dao Foundation made a crisp sound like shattering porcelain.

“You can hold out for three breaths under my Nine Hells Heart-burning Chain. You are stronger than those so-called demon gods!” The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor stepped on the fire lotus and approached. His phoenix eyes reflected Li Mu’s gradually dimming chaotic body: “The Great Dao of Chaos will eventually belong to me…”

The severe pain made Li Mu's consciousness unusually clear. He suddenly discovered that the chains that pierced his body were not physical entities - each chain was woven from densely packed fire spiritual patterns. While those fire patterns were burning the chaotic body, they were also constantly reorganizing their own structures.

When the seventh "Nirvana Fire Mark" invaded the heart, Li Mu's Chaos Dao Realm suddenly squirmed as if in response, and began to copy the trajectory of the fire mark!

At this moment, Li Mu has already "seen" the truth about the "Origin of the Fire of Nirvana". They are similar to the three thousand divine patterns he knew, but they are completely different.

The origin of the Nirvana Fire was naturally born from the Dao Realm of Fire. The patterns contained the insights and transformations of the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor after eight Nirvanas. They were not simply the condensation of laws, but the ultimate evolution of the Dao of Fire and the most primitive truth of fire between heaven and earth.

In the process of copying these fire patterns, Li Mu's Chaos Dao Pattern gradually revealed an unprecedented change. The originally dim Chaos Dao Pattern began to emit a faint golden-red light and was ignited by the Fire of Nirvana. As the Chaos Dao body was on the verge of breaking, it burst into amazing vitality under the stimulation of the origin of the Fire of Nirvana.

“So that’s it!” A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Li Mu’s eyes: “Nirvana is not destruction, but rebirth. Chaos is not the end, but the beginning.”

"So this is the true meaning of Nirvana!" Li Mu laughed wildly in the pain of his soul being burned to death. He took the initiative to release the defense of the Tao fetus. The last wisp of chaos fire outlined the complete "Origin of Nirvana" deep in the Tao foundation.

Just when the Immortal Emperor Tianfeng thought he had victory in his grasp, Li Mu's chaotic Taoist body suddenly burst out with brilliant light, and the cracks eroded by the Nirvana Fire Patterns healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were replaced by new Taoist patterns interwoven with the power of chaos and Nirvana.

"You!" The pupils of Tianfeng Immortal Emperor suddenly shrank. She clearly felt that the Nine Hells Burning Heart Chain that she had injected into Li Mu's body was being assimilated by some kind of force. The Nirvana Fire that she was so proud of had now become the nutrient for Li Mu's transformation!
Li Mu raised his head slowly, his eyes reflecting the scene of chaos and flames. He bowed slightly to the Immortal Emperor Chongtian Feng and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Emperor. If it weren't for your Nine Hells Burning Heart Chain, I would not be able to see the true meaning of the Nirvana Fire."

Upon hearing this, Tianfeng Immortal Emperor's face changed dramatically and he became furious. He never expected that the killing plan he had set up would become the opportunity for Li Mu to break through!
The Nine Hells Burning Heart Chain trembled violently, and the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor was shocked to feel a terrifying suction force coming from the end of the chain. The source of Nirvana that he had cultivated for thousands of years suddenly poured out uncontrollably and continuously flowed into Li Mu's body.

Li Mu's charred chaotic Taoist body peeled off inch by inch, revealing a new body with golden and silver Taoist patterns flowing inside - the left half of the body was wrapped in chaos fire, and the right half was leaping with Nirvana gold fire.

"Reciprocity, behead!"

Li Mu shattered the chains around his body, and the broken chains turned into flaming feathers all over the sky. The moment he clasped his palms together, two completely different flame spirals of Chaos and Nirvana intertwined and condensed into a flaming sword engraved with the Dao patterns of Chaos in his palms, which he swung out.

The sword light was like a rainbow, tearing the void. The flaming sword intertwined with the power of chaos and nirvana cut through the sky and pointed directly at the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor Tianfeng retreated a thousand miles, and the flaming wings behind him exploded into three thousand fundamental life feathers. Each feather ignited the flame of nirvana in the void, instantly turning into a wall of fire.

With a loud "bang", the moment the sword touched the wall of fire, the power of chaos and nirvana spun wildly like yin and yang fish. The three thousand nirvana feathers actually lost their red-gold luster under the impact of the Tao rhythm and turned into gray and white powder that floated down all over the sky.

“Hmph! Even if you have glimpsed the true meaning of Nirvana, what can it do? This emperor has experienced Nirvana eight times. How can I compare to you, a junior who has just glimpsed the truth!” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the phoenix eyes of the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor. He formed seals with his hands, and the Nirvana Wheel at his brow spun rapidly. The nine fire pattern chains disintegrated one after another, transforming into completely different fire Dharma images.

The Nether Phoenix's body was filled with blue-black flames. When its wings spread out, prismatic ice crystals condensed in the air. Wherever the Bone Spirit's cold flames passed, all the stars froze into pale sculptures.

The Red Lotus Sin Phoenix was wrapped in blood-colored chains, and the fire red lotuses of karma bloomed between its wings, reflecting the sins of the opponent in past and present lives.
The Fire Sword Phoenix turned into a pure white sword tomb, with 180,000 feathers condensed from the Southern Ming Fire floating in formation, emitting endless fire sword intent;

The Purple Star Phoenix flapped its wings to attract the stars in the sky, and the purple fire trailed by its tail feathers wove a Milky Way star map in the void. The falling meteors dragged purple flame tails to block the retreat in all directions.
The Nirvana Fire Phoenix is ​​surrounded by a golden flame halo. Every time it flaps its wings, ancient fire patterns appear in the void. Time and space are intertwined, and it has the power to reverse life and death and reshape all things.

The vertical pupils on the forehead of the Pure World Blue Phoenix burst out with a cyan beam of light, and wherever the Pure World Blue Flame passed, even the chaotic airflow was cleansed and turned into pure spiritual energy;

The Sun Phoenix transformed into a three-legged golden crow, and the purest true fire of the sun burned glass-like holes in the space;

The Taiyin Ice Phoenix was as clear as crystal, and the silver-white Taiyin True Fire caused Li Mu's Chaos Fire to stagnate;
At the highest point, the wings of the Burning Sky-Destroying Phoenix were wrapped in dark purple flames, and every flap of its wings plowed out terrifying space-time cracks in the void.

"Nine Extremes Return to Origin!"

The Immortal Emperor Tianfeng quickly formed the Phoenix Seal with his hands, and the nine fire phoenix statues suddenly connected head to tail to form a ring. The extreme cold of the Netherworld Black Phoenix and the annihilation of the Taiyin Ice Phoenix blended together, the karma of the Red Lotus Sin Phoenix and the purification of the Pure World Blue Phoenix offset each other, and the nine kinds of Taoist fires that were mutually reinforcing and restraining burst out with a destructive aura beyond time and space in the reincarnation formation, giving birth to a phoenix of destruction.

Under the impact of this force, Li Mu's Chaos Fire Domain was instantly severely damaged, and the newly recast Chaos Tao Body instantly became charred. The Chaos Fire was actually torn off a piece by the Phoenix of Destruction and swallowed into its stomach.

The wings of the Phoenix of Destruction stirred up a tide of fire that burned the world. Li Mu's chaotic Taoist body was carbonized and peeled off in the dark purple flames. The moment his bones shattered, a ray of golden flame of Nirvana suddenly leaped up from the depths of his Taoist foundation - it was the source of Nirvana that he had swallowed from the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor before!

“Nirvana in Fire!”

The charred skeleton stretched out in the sea of ​​fire, and new flesh and blood were reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Chaos Fire, carrying the Phoenix of Destruction's world-burning flames, melted into gray-gold Nirvana Dao patterns in the meridians. Li Mu's right arm was the first to regenerate, and the Chaos Fire Lotus that emerged in his palm actually swallowed up all the surrounding world-burning fire waves.

"Come again!" Li Mu took the initiative to crash into the second wave of fire that was burning the world. The violent destructive force tore his new body into pieces. However, when his heart was about to stop beating, the golden flame of Nirvana forcibly reconnected his heart meridian. The broken bones were coated with dark purple fire patterns during the reorganization. When his left leg was regenerated, it was wrapped in the tearing property of the Phoenix of Burning the World. It shattered the hundreds of miles of sea of ​​fire with one step.

For the third time, Li Mu let the destructive fire engulf his head. The moment his sea of ​​consciousness collapsed, the source of Nirvana turned into a golden bridge across the void and gathered the scattered soul again. The Nine-Revolution Fire Wheel emerged in the depths of his reborn pupils, and he could actually see directly the energy flow trajectory of the Phoenix of Destruction.

The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time, ..., the Phoenix of Destruction destroyed Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body again and again. However, Li Mu was always able to be reborn in the fire domain of the Phoenix of Destruction.

Li Mu stood up from the ashes for the ninety-ninth time. His new body was covered with Nirvana patterns. The Chaos Fire Domain was no longer on passive defense, but actively devoured the world-burning flames like a greedy behemoth. Every time it swallowed a ball of dark purple flame, a mysterious fire pattern would appear on the surface of his body.

When the Phoenix of Destruction launched its hundredth attack, Li Mu suddenly opened his arms to embrace the tide of fire. The moment the violent energy, which was enough to burn all immortal weapons, touched his chest, three thousand Nirvana patterns lit up at the same time, transforming the power of destruction into tremendous vitality!
“It’s my turn!”

Li Mu's cold voice suddenly rang out from the sea of ​​fire, with an indifference that seemed to transcend life and death.

Suddenly, the Phoenix of Destruction's world-burning fire suddenly stopped in front of Li Mu, as if it had met its natural nemesis.

Li Mu raised his hand and tapped lightly. The Chaos Fire Domain expanded instantly, engulfing all the flames of the Phoenix of Destruction. The dark purple flame that was enough to burn all the stars disappeared without a trace in the Chaos Fire Domain.

"Your fire of destruction is only a part of the Great Way of Fire after all!" Li Mu looked directly at the Celestial Phoenix Emperor, the image of the Phoenix of Destruction reflected in his eyes, as if he had seen through its essence, and said lightly: "And I have glimpsed the source of the Great Way of Fire."

The face of the Immortal Emperor Tianfeng changed suddenly, feeling that his own power and the Phoenix of Destruction were rapidly weakening. The Phoenix of Destruction, which was formed by the fusion of the nine major methods, was gradually disintegrating in Li Mu's Chaos Fire Domain, and turned into nine pure fire origins, and its power was completely swallowed up by the Chaos Fire Domain.

"No! This is impossible!" The Tianfeng Immortal Emperor screamed, and the Nirvana Wheel between his eyebrows spun wildly, trying to take back his origin.

At this moment, Li Mu just waved his hand lightly, and nine gray-gold chains emerged from the chaotic fire domain, locking the Nirvana Wheel tightly.

"Your Nirvana Wheel is, after all, just an imitation of the Great Dao of Fire, and has never transcended it!" Li Mu's voice was like a loud bell, shaking the soul of the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor. "And the Chaos Fire that I control is also the root of the Great Dao."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu's Primal Chaos Fire Domain suddenly shrank and turned into a jumping Primal Chaos Fire seed. Countless mysterious Dao patterns appeared on the surface of the fire seed, which contained both the true meaning of Nirvana of the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor and Li Mu's own Primal Chaos Avenue.

"Chaos is reborn, all fires return to their source!"

Li Mu let out a low shout and formed a mysterious Taoist seal with his hands. In an instant, the flames of the entire star field gathered towards him. Whether it was the Nirvana Fire of the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor or the world-burning flames of the Phoenix of Destruction, they were all transformed into the most primitive ancestral Qi of fire under the guidance of the chaotic fire.

The fire of chaos hung in the sky, with myriad fire paths submitting. The nine-color clothes of the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor had long since faded to plain white, and the wheel of nirvana between her brows was covered with spider web cracks. She stared at the fire of origin imprisoned by the chains of chaos, and her phoenix eyes suddenly emitted a resolute cold light.

"This emperor has traveled the world for a hundred thousand years, how could he die here!"

The Immortal Emperor Tianfeng suddenly bit his tongue, and the blood that spurted out condensed into the ancient seal character "burn" in the air. The moment the seal character touched the Chaos Chain, three thousand fundamental life feathers emerged from the void, and each of them ignited a blood-colored soul fire - he actually burned his own cultivation to forcefully activate the forbidden technique!
"Nirvana Sacrifice, Nine Feathers Break the Void!"

Nine feathers entwined with the Dao patterns of time and space suddenly exploded, and the terrifying energy shock caused cracks in the Chaos Chains.

The next moment, the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the crack. From his afterimage came a voice of gnashing teeth: "When I, Emperor Jiuyu, am reborn, I will grind you to dust!"

Li Mu stood in the void, looking at the direction where the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor fled, frowned, and wanted to chase him and wipe him out, but he was powerless.

Although he seemed to have the upper hand in today's battle, the forbidden technique that the Immortal Emperor Tianfeng used at the cost of his own cultivation was by no means trivial. If this woman escapes, she may be even more difficult to deal with if she makes a comeback in the future.

"Chaos Nirvana is the beginning and the end of all things. Even if you can escape with your life today, the cause and effect have been planted, and you will be bitten back in the future!"

Li Mu seemed to be talking to other people, and suddenly said something. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and took back the Chaos Fire. His whole aura became deep and mysterious.

"Friend Li, what you said is absolutely right!"

An ancient Xuanhuang sword flew through the air, and Taixuan Sword Master appeared. He stood beside Li Mu, looking solemnly at the direction where Tianfeng Immortal Emperor fled, and said with emotion: "This woman is ruthless and thoughtful. She must have a backup plan to escape today. However, it is amazing that Fellow Daoist Li can fuse the way of Nirvana with the fire of chaos. With time, you will definitely reach a higher level."

There was a hint of complexity in Taixuan Sword Master's eyes when he looked at Li Mu.

The fierce battle between Li Mu and the Immortal Demon God was massive. Taixuan Sword Master arrived early and watched the battle from the sidelines, ready to provide assistance at any time.

However, Li Mu turned the tide with his own strength, and in the battle of the origin of the Dao Realm, he defeated the Immortal Demon God in one fell swoop, forcing him to escape with injuries, which shocked him.

Next, Li Mu fought against the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor again, and between life and death he glimpsed the secret of the Great Dao of Fire. He fused the Dao of Nirvana with the fire of chaos and severely injured the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor, forcing him to escape with his arm cut off.

This amazing understanding and peerless talent caused a huge wave in Taixuan Sword Master's heart. Besides being shocked, he also felt a bit emotional.

"Above the Mahayana is the realm of the Ultimate Dao, the highest realm that countless cultivators dream of. Those who enter this realm can already comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and master the power of turning the world upside down." Taixuan Sword Master spoke slowly, with a hint of yearning in his tone, and continued: "Above the realm of the Ultimate Dao, there is the realm of Daozu. If one can achieve Daozu, he can transcend the constraints of heaven and earth, shine with the sun and the moon, and live as long as heaven and earth. His supernatural powers are so vast that we can't imagine."

At this point, Taixuan Jianzun's gaze fell on Li Mu again, with a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Daoyou Li, your battle today not only showed amazing strength, but also revealed extraordinary understanding. Given time, you will definitely be able to step into the realm of extreme Dao, and even become the supreme powerhouse of Daozu realm!" (End of this chapter)
