Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"We can't stay here for long, let's go!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate unfolded again, turning into a chaotic light curtain that enveloped everyone.

The Qingyue True Dragon let out a long roar, and its dragon claws tore through the void, leading everyone to quickly escape from the Tianxu Secret Realm. Not long after they left, the golden world behind them completely collapsed, turning into countless golden fragments that dissipated into the void.

"Brother Li, where are we going next?" Xue'er looked at Li Mu and asked curiously.

Li Mu sensed the location of the last soul fragment, looked towards the east, and said in a deep voice: "The next target is the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl, which is hidden deep in Tianqing Mountain!"

"Tianqing Mountain?" The Jade Ginseng King was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "It is rumored that Tianqing Mountain was one of the sacred mountains that supported the heaven and earth in ancient times. It collapsed in the ancient war. Could it still exist in the world?"

"Ginseng King, you are very knowledgeable and you even know this secret!" Li Mu looked at the Green Jade Ginseng King and asked in surprise.

“Master, you don’t know that King Shen is a gossiper. Before, he was good friends with several elders of the Qixuan Sect. He often mingled in the libraries of various major sects, reading ancient books and secret texts. Naturally, he knows more than us.” The blue-eyed golden ape chuckled and scratched his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Hearing this, the Jade Ginseng King was not annoyed. He just stroked his long beard and continued with a smile: "I have only lived longer, so I have naturally seen more. However, the legend of Tianqing Mountain is indeed extraordinary. It is said that this mountain was one of the four sacred mountains that supported the spiritual world in ancient times. Unfortunately, during the ancient war, Tianqing Mountain was cut off by a powerful sword, the mountain collapsed, and the ground veins were broken. Since then, it has not been well-known."

"Oh! How much do you know about Tianqing Mountain?" A hint of interest flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He looked at the Green Jade Ginseng King and motioned him to continue.

The Jade Ginseng King nodded and continued, "According to ancient records, this mountain was formed by the condensation of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi. The entire mountain is crystal clear like jade, and the roots of the mountain extend deep into the earth veins, connecting to the endless earth vein power. The mountain has bred countless innate true spirits, the most famous of which are the 'Earth Mother' and the 'Xuanhuang True Dragon'."

"Mother Earth? Xuanhuang True Dragon?" Xue'er blinked and asked curiously, "What kind of beings are they?"

King Qingyu Shen smiled slightly and explained, "Mother Earth is the mountain spirit of Tianqing Mountain. She controls the power of the origin of the earth and has boundless power. It is rumored that she once used the power of the earth to protect the living beings in one area and was even able to compete with the outer demons. The Xuanhuang True Dragon is the true spirit nurtured by the earth veins of Tianqing Mountain. Its body is condensed by the Xuanhuang mother energy and controls the power of the earth veins. It has the power to overturn rivers and seas, move mountains and fill the sea. It is the true overlord of heaven and earth. However, after the ancient war, these two existences also disappeared with the collapse of Tianqing Mountain, leaving only endless legends and mysteries."

……

As he spoke, the Qingyue True Dragon sped through the air, leading everyone towards the Tianqing Mountain.

Seven days later, everyone finally arrived at the edge of Tianqing Mountain. The Qingyue True Dragon flew out of the sea of ​​clouds and slowly lowered its altitude. The geomagnetic field ahead was violent and the wind and sand were raging, making it inconvenient to fly in.

At this time, the sun was just rising, and a red desert unfolded before everyone's eyes. Amid the heat waves, the shadows of the mountains in the distance looked like dormant beasts. The scene before them shocked them.

The earth was wriggling like a living thing. The vast expanse of yellow sand condensed into countless whirlpools. In the center of each whirlpool stood a towering sand pillar, like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth. The wind was howling and the sandstorm was raging, as if it was going to swallow everything.

"The earth's power here is vast and boundless!" said the Green Jade Ginseng King with a frown. He could clearly feel the violent force surging in the earth's veins, which even his Yi Wood Essence could hardly penetrate.

"Such a strong earth power, I seem to sense the breath of the earth bead!" The Black Jade Rock Lizard - Xiao Wa showed a silly look on his face, his eyes flashing with bright light, and said excitedly.

Li Mu smiled slightly and his Chaos Dao Pupils expanded. His divine sense penetrated through layers of sandstorms and he saw a huge creature lurking deep in the earth veins - the Xuanming Earth Turtle, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.

"Attention, there's an ambush!"

Li Mu spoke up to remind everyone.

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the ground shook suddenly, countless sand pillars exploded, and yellow sand swept in like a raging tide. Every grain of sand carried the geomagnetic elemental light, distorting the trajectory of space, forming a sand blade storm that covered the sky and the sun, whistling towards everyone.

"Xue'er, freeze the Kun ground vein!" Li Mu gave the order quickly.

Xue'er stretched out her Nine-Tail, and the Nine Yin Cold Pearls burst out with extreme freezing air. The frost spread in the opposite direction along the trajectory of the sand blade, condensing the hundreds of miles of sandstorm into an ice crystal maze.

"Of the Five Elements, earth overcomes water? I'm determined to reverse yin and yang!" Li Mu put his fingers together and stabbed into the void. The Chaos Spirit Banner appeared. He waved the banner and rolled up huge waves.

The huge waves raised by the Chaos Spirit Banner collided with the sandstorm with a loud bang, and the rising water mist condensed into an ice crystal barrier hundreds of feet thick. The shadow of the Xuanming Earth Tortoise was looming in the depths of the sandstorm, and the dense cracks on the tortoise shell suddenly burst into a faint blue light.

The tortoise let out an earth-shaking roar, revealing the shadow of a thousand-foot-high mountain. The image of the mountain god appeared on the top of the mountain, and the geomagnetic gravity of the entire mountain range increased ten thousand times.

"Xiao Wa, determine the earth veins!" Li Mu ordered again.

"Okay!" The Black Jade Rock Lizard roared and threw out the earthy yellow square seal. The essence of Wu Earth condensed into a dark yellow chain that pierced into the center of the earth. The chain meandered like a dragon or snake, instantly locking the earth veins tightly.

The thousand-foot-high mountain shadow of the Xuanming Earth Turtle paused slightly, and the skyrocketing trend of the geomagnetic gravity was forcibly curbed. However, the roar of the Xuanming Earth Turtle became more and more violent, and the dark blue light on its shell suddenly became blazing. It was unwilling to have its power suppressed, and tried to regain control of the earth veins.

The blue-eyed golden ape took the opportunity to swing his stick at the mountain god's image. The golden dragon snake stick came against the wind, instantly enlarged a thousand times, and turned into a golden pillar of heaven, carrying the power to destroy the world, and smashed towards the mountain god's image.

The mountain god roared angrily and raised his hands to the sky, trying to withstand the attack, but the power of the Golden Dragon Snake Stick was far beyond his imagination.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the arms of the Mountain God's Dharma Image shattered instantly, and the remaining force of the golden pillar of heaven and earth directly pierced through its body. The Mountain God's Dharma Image let out a shrill wail, and then turned into countless pieces of gravel, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Seeing this, the Xuanming Earth Turtle roared even more violently, and the faint blue light on its shell suddenly burst out, trying to break free from the Xuanhuang chains.

However, Li Mu had already anticipated its counterattack. The Chaos Spirit Banner shook again, and the huge waves turned into countless ice crystal chains, which intertwined with the Xuanhuang chains and locked the Xuanming Earth Turtle tightly.

"Xue'er, use all your strength to freeze its origin!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice.

Xue'er's nine tails danced, and the Nine Yin Cold Pearls emitted extreme freezing air. The frost spread along the chains and quickly covered the entire body of the Xuanming Earth Turtle. The roar of the Xuanming Earth Turtle gradually weakened, and the dark blue light was also frozen bit by bit by the frost.

"Xiao Wa, stabilize the ground veins!" Li Mu ordered again.

The black jade rock lizard roared, the Wu Earth Seal shone brightly, the Xuanhuang chain became more solid, and the vibration of the earth veins gradually subsided.

The power of the Xuanming Earth Turtle was completely suppressed. It felt that Li Mu and his group were not easy to deal with, so it decided to retreat. Its huge body slowly sank into the depths of the earth veins and eventually disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Chaos Spirit Banner, turned around and said to everyone: "The Xuanming Earth Turtle has retreated, the earth veins are temporarily stable, and it is not easy to cause more trouble. Let's leave as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, put away their natal Taoist weapons, followed Li Mu, and rushed towards the depths of the Tianqing Mountains.

Just as they were crossing the sandstorm wasteland and flying for hundreds of miles, they saw a deep abyss suddenly cracked open at the end of the red desert. Boiling lava was surging in the ravines like a sea of ​​blood, thick smoke was billowing, forming an area covered by thunderclouds, and purple arcs of electricity were flashing.

"Underground Fire Thunder Domain?" The Green Jade Ginseng King stretched out his finger, and vines grew wildly. As soon as he probed into it, he was struck by a green lightning and turned into charcoal in an instant.

"The five elements are reversed here. It is a natural Earth Demon formation. A large number of Earth Demons are locked deep in the magma, and other elemental forces are not allowed to enter." The Green Jade Ginseng King looked at Li Mu solemnly, believing that with the master's ability, he would be able to lead them deeper into it safely. Li Mu stood on the edge of the lava abyss, with thousands of star tracks flowing in his chaotic pupils. He stared at the surging thunder and fire, and suddenly raised his hand to point to a certain place: "Seven feet away from the southeast Xun position, cracks appear in the Earth Demon vortex every nine breaths - Xue'er froze the surface of the magma, and Xiaowa used the Wu Earth Seal to build a bridge!"

The Nine Yin Cold Pearls burst out with a chilly white air, and a layer of black ice instantly condensed on the surface of the boiling magma.

The black jade rock lizard roared and threw out a square seal, and the khaki light curtain paved a three-foot-wide passage on the ice. The moment everyone stepped on it, hundreds of red-scaled fire dragons suddenly jumped out of the abyss, and each scale was flashing with lightning patterns.

"Xiao Jin!" Li Mu threw out the Chaos Spirit Banner, and when the banner unfolded it turned into a Yin-Yang fish pattern.

Upon hearing this, the blue-eyed golden ape inserted the golden dragon snake stick into the ground. The golden light bursting out from the stick formed a barrier, and the fire dragon hit the barrier.

The Jade Ginseng King suddenly realized: "These are the transformed Earthly Evils, we can't fight them head-on!"

At this time, the Red Fire Phoenix came to the rescue in time. A fire feather fan appeared in its hand and it waved vigorously. The blazing flames turned into countless fire phoenixes, which entangled with the Red Scaled Fire Dragon. The fire phoenixes and the fire dragons collided, bursting into dazzling light. The hot energy surged in the abyss, the magma boiled again, and the ice began to melt rapidly.

The Blue Moon True Dragon decisively joined the battle, and the Dragon Scale Dao Sword turned into a watery blue sword rainbow, washing over the battlefield like a river in the sky. The magma melted from the ice layer was pulled by the sword intent, and condensed into thousands of ice crystal dragons in mid-air, entangled with the red-scaled fire dragon.

Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed with praise. The sword intent of the Blue Moon True Dragon and the coldness of the Nine Yin Cold Pearl were perfectly integrated, and they could actually transform the magma into an ice crystal dragon. This method was really extraordinary. However, the power of the Earth Fire Thunder Domain was still violent, and the number of red-scaled fire dragons seemed endless. Although the ice crystal dragon was strong, it was difficult to completely suppress it.

"Time is running out, don't fight too long!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, expanding the Chaos Dao Domain and opening up the weak points of the Earth, Fire and Thunder Domain. He raised his hand and waved the Chaos Spirit Banner again. The Yin-Yang fish pattern rotated and turned into a black and white interwoven light curtain, covering everyone.

"Follow me!" Li Mu flashed and rushed towards the southeast of the Earth, Fire and Thunder Area.

Everyone followed closely behind. Xue'er used the Nine Yin Cold Pearls to protect everyone and resist the erosion of the scorching earth fire; the Black Jade Rock Lizard used the power of Wu Earth to stabilize its feet and prevent the collapse of the earth veins. Under the support of Li Mu's Chaos Dao Realm, the magma solidified, the thunder and fire were annihilated, the Earth Evil vortex was torn apart, and the Red Scaled Fire Dragons turned into Earth Evil Qi and dissipated in the air.

After speeding all the way, they finally rushed out of the earth, fire and thunder area. However, after traveling only a few hundred miles, the scene ahead made them feel depressed.

I saw a pitch-black swamp stretching ahead, filled with a strong evil aura, and countless bones could be vaguely seen floating in it. Low roars came from the depths of the swamp, as if countless ferocious beasts were lurking in it.

"This is the 'Earthly Evil Swamp'." The Jade Ginseng King looked solemn and reminded: "The Earthly Evil Qi here is extremely dense. Any living being that steps into this place will be corroded by the Earthly Evil and eventually turned into bones."

Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, his Chaos Dao pupils flickered slightly, and his divine consciousness expanded, flooding the swamp like a tide, and he 'saw' the depths of the Disha Swamp. Scarlet ghost fires lit up in the empty eye sockets of the skulls of countless evil bone monsters, and he also saw the traces of the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl.

"The target is inside. We can't get around it. We can only force our way in!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, reminding everyone: "Everyone, stay focused and don't be corrupted by the evil spirits."

Everyone nodded, practiced their skills to protect their souls, and then stepped into the Disha Swamp.

As soon as I entered the swamp, the surrounding scenery instantly became blurred and I heard whispers in my ears, as if countless people were whispering in my ears, trying to disturb my mind.

Li Mu guarded the spiritual platform tightly, unfolded the Chaos Dao Realm, and protected and led everyone to move forward steadily.

Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out of the swamp and rushed towards everyone.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several ferocious beasts shaped like giant crocodiles, with evil spirits surrounding them, their eyes flashing with dark green light, and their fangs as sharp as knives.

"It's the giant Earth Demon crocodile!" The blue-eyed golden ape growled and swung the golden dragon snake stick to meet the attack. The shadow of the stick was as big as a mountain and instantly blew up several giant Earth Demon crocodiles one by one.

However, the death of the giant Earth Demon crocodile did not make everyone feel relieved. On the contrary, the Earth Demon Qi in the swamp seemed to be enraged and became more violent. The whispers gradually became sharp and piercing, as if countless resentful souls were roaring, trying to tear everyone's mind apart. Then, the number of giant Earth Demon crocodiles seemed endless, and they came in waves.

At this moment, an earth-shaking roar came from the depths of the swamp, and a huge ferocious beast slowly appeared. It looked like a giant Earth Demon crocodile, but had three heads and nine tails. The body was surrounded by dark Earth Demon aura, exuding a heart-pounding oppression.

Everyone's faces changed suddenly. The pressure from the ferocious beast was like a knife, attacking Li Mu's Chaos Realm wave after wave.

Three hideous heads opened their bloody mouths at the same time. The head on the left spewed out black poisonous mist, corroding even the evil spirits in its passing places into sizzling white smoke. The middle head howled towards the sky, and the sound waves caused the swamp mud to roll back into huge waves ten feet high. The head on the right had flames surging in its eyes, and its nine bony tails spread out like a peacock spreading its tail, with a twisted face of a resentful spirit emerging from each tailbone.

"It's the Earthly Evil Crocodile! The weak point is seven inches in the middle of the head!" Li Mu said in a deep voice with chaotic light flowing in his pupils.

The next moment, Wanjian Mountain appeared in front of Li Mu and smashed towards the Disha Mingcrocodile with thunder and lightning.

Wanjian Mountain enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a towering peak. The sword light was sharp and the sword energy was overwhelming, as if it was going to tear the entire Disha Swamp apart.

The Earthly Evil Crocodile felt the terrifying pressure, and its three heads roared at the same time, while its nine bony tails danced wildly, trying to resist the thundering attack.

However, how could it easily resist the might of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain? The Sword Mountain fell with a bang, and thousands of Dao swords flew out of the mountain, pouring down like a rainstorm, instantly tearing apart the dark evil spirit around the Earthly Evil Underworld Crocodile. The poisonous mist sprayed from the left head was crushed by the sword energy, the sound waves from the middle head were also suppressed by the Sword Mountain, and the dark fire in the eyes of the right head was directly extinguished by the sword energy.

Just when Wanjian Mountain was about to crush the core of the Earth Demon Crocodile, dark red magma suddenly gushed out from the depths of the swamp. The nine bony tails of the Earth Demon Crocodile penetrated deeply into the earth veins, and actually merged the Earth Demon Qi within a radius of ten miles with the lava in the earth's core, forming a red and black evil fire armor around the body. The severed left side of the head was instantly reborn, and lava patterns appeared on the surface of the fangs.

"Brother Li, it's trying to reshape its evil body!" Xue'er was slightly startled and reminded Li Mu.

"I see!" Li Mu understood and made a sword gesture with his hand.

With a "hum" sound, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain shook, thousands of swords rang out in unison, sword energy was like a rainbow, and it seemed that only endless sword light was left between heaven and earth.

Li Mu's eyes flashed like lightning, and the sword gesture in his hand changed. The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain suddenly shrank and turned into a giant sword that reached the sky. The sword was surrounded by chaotic energy, exuding a power that could destroy the world.

"Cut!" Li Mu shouted softly, and the giant sword, carrying unparalleled power, slashed down towards the core of the Earthly Evil Crocodile.

The Earthly Evil Crocodile immediately felt a devastating disaster. Wherever the giant sword passed, the Evil Fire Armor was torn like paper. The defense formed by the fusion of Earthly Evil Energy and lava was useless in the face of the Chaos Sword Energy.

"Boom--" the giant sword chopped down, and the middle head of the Earth Demon Crocodile was instantly chopped into pieces, and the core at seven inches was also completely annihilated by the sword energy. The huge body of the Earth Demon Crocodile trembled violently, and then fell down with a bang, stirring up mud and lava all over the sky.

However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, a low roar was heard again from the depths of the swamp. Then, the body of the Earthly Evil Crocodile began to slowly melt and turned into a dark evil spirit that rushed towards the depths of the swamp.

"No! It's not dead yet!" The blue-eyed golden ape's face changed. He tightly grasped the golden dragon snake stick and looked vigilantly into the depths of the swamp.

Li Mu frowned slightly and said solemnly: "The Earthly Evil Crocodile is connected to the earth veins. As long as the Earthly Evil Qi does not dissipate, it can continue to be reborn. We must find its origin to completely eliminate it, otherwise it will continue to entangle us."

"Don't worry about it, find the earth beads first!" Li Mu gestured.

Everyone gladly accepted the order and followed Li Mu to continue moving towards the Disha Swamp. (End of this chapter)
