Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The Blue Moon True Dragon let out a long dragon roar, and its huge body slowly rose into the air, surrounded by the faint blue moonlight. The dragon power of the eighth-level Mahayana True Dragon was unparalleled.

Li Mu stood on the dragon head, his robe fluttering, and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.

Xue'er jumped lightly onto the dragon's back and stood beside Li Mu, her long hair fluttering in the wind and a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, the Black Jade Rock Lizard, the Red Fire Phoenix and the Green Jade Ginseng King each found a stable position on the dragon's back and stood still. The dragon scales of the Blue Moon True Dragon flashed a cold luster in the sun. The dragon's body swayed slightly, bringing up a breeze that rolled up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground.

The Qingyue True Dragon shook violently, and its body shot up into the sky like an arrow, straight into the clouds. A strong wind whistled past, but everyone was as steady as a mountain, with a faint halo around their bodies, resisting the impact of the high-altitude airflow.

The speed of the Qingyue True Dragon was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had passed through the clouds. The land below gradually became blurred, and the mountains, rivers and streams unfolded before the eyes like a picture scroll.

With the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's keen ability to perceive emotions, Xue'er immediately noticed Li Mu's abnormality. She blinked her clear eyes, took Li Mu's hand, and asked with concern: "Brother Li, the seven ninth-level divine objects have been collected, why are you still frowning? Is there any problem?"

Li Mu felt the warmth of Xue'er's palm, looked down at her clear eyes, sighed softly, and whispered: "Well, I'm a little worried about how to use their power to refine the treasure house again!"

There was a hint of doubt in Xue'er's eyes.

"The seven ninth-rank divine objects contain the origins of yin and yang and the five elements. It is extremely difficult for me to refine them into tools. If I want to go a step further and use them to refine the treasure house again, the difficulty is even more unimaginable." Li Mu's voice was low and solemn.

"The treasure house is an eighth-level cave heaven treasure, and its foundation is not outstanding. The reason it was lucky enough to survive last time was that the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain rebuilt its foundation, and secondly, a large number of spiritual objects in heaven and earth provided it with energy support." Li Mu's face was solemn, and he was somewhat helpless. He said: "But this time, if I want to use the power of seven ninth-level divine objects to refine the treasure house, I not only need to completely break the original foundation of the treasure house, but also reconstruct the instrument base under the impact of the power of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and refine a brand new cave heaven world. The foundation of the treasure house cannot bear the heritage of seven ninth-level divine objects. If I am not careful, I will fail, the treasure house will collapse, and even I may be backlashed."

Hearing this, Xue'er's eyes flashed with worry. She held Li Mu's hand tightly and suggested: "Brother Li, since the risk is so great, why don't you find another way? Maybe there are other ways to improve the grade of the treasure house without taking such a big risk."

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned, unwilling to give up, and said, "It is a great opportunity to gather seven ninth-level divine objects. If I can refine this artifact, it will be the key to my future enlightenment and sainthood. How can I give up so easily?"

"But! Aren't you unsure? If the re-refining fails, the cost will be too high!" Xue'er was worried and continued to persuade.

"The path of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. If you stop moving forward because of fear of risks, you will never achieve great things. The treasure house is my natal magic weapon and is connected to my life. If I can successfully refine it, it will definitely be promoted to a ninth-rank treasure. I can also use its foundation to step into a higher realm. This opportunity cannot be given up!" Li Mu said resolutely with a firm look.

"Brother Li, your weapon-refining skills are unparalleled. Can't you find a safe and reliable method of refining?" Xue'er asked with concern.

Xue'er's words were like a flash of inspiration, instantly illuminating Li Mu's thoughts. He frowned, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "The method of safe refining... the method of entrusted refining..."

Seeing Li Mu's expression change, Xue'er couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Li, what did you think of?"

"Well, I have some ideas. The original power of the seven ninth-level divine objects is too strong. If I use my own strength to forcibly re-refine the treasure house, the risk is indeed too great. But if I can use external forces, maybe I can suppress the original power of these divine objects and make the re-refining process more stable!" Li Mu said in a low voice with a flash of enlightenment in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xue'er was slightly delighted and asked with concern: "Brother Li, are you saying that we can use external forces to assist in refining?"

Li Mu nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right. I have thought of a way. Perhaps I can use the power of the 'Ten Thousand Treasures Tripod' to reconcile the original power of the seven ninth-level divine objects. The Ten Thousand Treasures Tripod contains all spirits, which can reconcile the power of all things and suppress the backlash of heaven and earth. If we can find this tripod, the success rate of refining the treasure house will be greatly improved."

"Wanbao Ding?" Xue'er was slightly stunned, obviously not familiar with this object.

"Yes! This is the most precious treasure of the Wanbao Pavilion. This tripod was refined using the method of the Tao, and has the effect of a chaos furnace. If we can borrow the Wanbao Tripod, we can use the method of the Tao to slowly integrate the original power of the seven ninth-level divine objects into the treasure house, avoiding direct impact on the foundation of the treasure house, thereby reducing the risk of re-refining." Li Mu's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he said affirmatively.

"Brother Li, didn't the leader of the Wanbao Pavilion die, and the Wanbao Cauldron also disappeared? Where can we find it?" Xue'er reminded hurriedly. Li Mu took the initiative to tell her about this when they were chatting before.

"Yes!" Li Mu sighed with a wry smile. Before, he also chased after the Wanbao Ding. However, that was the Immortal Demon God. The Tianfeng Immortal Emperor was fighting for the tripod with him, so he gave up and turned to subdue the Earth Vein Divine Fire.

I don’t know who has the Wanbao Ding now.

With the refining diagram of Wanbao Ding, Li Mu also knew how to refine a new Wanbao Ding. However, the cost and energy required to refine the Wanbao Ding were comparable to the re-refining of the treasure house this time, which was not worth the cost.

Li Mu frowned, weighing the pros and cons. Refining a new Wanbao Ding would not only take up a lot of time and resources, but would also require finding rare refining materials and might even bring about unnecessary trouble.

But now, re-refining the treasure house is imminent, and Li Mu is not allowed to refine a new Wanbao Ding.

"It seems that we have to find another way." Li Mu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he murmured with some frustration.

Seeing this, Xue'er gently held Li Mu's hand and soothed him softly, "Brother Li, since the Wanbao Ding is hard to find, perhaps we can start from other aspects. Didn't you say that the seven ninth-level divine objects contain the power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements? Perhaps we can use the power of heaven and earth, or find other treasures that can reconcile Yin Yang and the Five Elements to assist in refining the treasure house."

Li Mu nodded and fell silent.

The Blue Moon Dragon was speeding at full speed, and the scenery between heaven and earth was constantly changing. The clouds gradually thinned, and the mountains and rivers below gradually became clear. The rivers meandered like silver ribbons, the mountains and rivers were like giant dragons, and the forests were as boundless as a green ocean.

Li Mu stood on the dragon head and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to refine the Painting World Treasure House again, how to suppress the origins of the seven ninth-level divine objects, ...

Suddenly, Li Mu thought of something. The last time he fought with the Immortal Demon God and the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor, they did not use the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron. Perhaps, the cauldron did not fall into their hands. Perhaps he still had a chance to obtain the cauldron.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel refreshed.

If possible, it seems we can try to search for the trace of this tripod.

"Brother Li!" Xue'er was sensitive to the huge fluctuations in Li Mu's emotions. She stared at him with clear eyes and asked puzzledly, "Have you thought of any solution?"

Li Mu came back to his senses, his eyes flashing with excitement, and nodded: "Yes, the Wanbao Ding may not have fallen into the hands of the Immortal Demon God or the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor. If so, there is still a chance to find it!" Hearing this, Xue'er was surprised and said: "Then how should we find the Wanbao Ding? Without any clues, it may not be that easy to find."

"That's true, but there is still a way for Wanbaoding to find it!" Li Mu smiled confidently and ordered Qingyue True Dragon: "Qingyue, stop!"

Upon hearing this, the Qingyue True Dragon's body shook slightly, and its speed gradually slowed down, hovering high in the sky.

Xue'er stood beside Li Mu, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and asked softly: "Brother Li, how are you going to find the Wanbao Ding?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and explained, "The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron has the ability to swallow and spit out all kinds of treasures. All the spiritual objects and magic weapons in the world will be attracted by it. I just need to release the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and release the ten thousand swords, letting them fly freely. With the help of their spirituality, they can sense the breath of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron and they will definitely react."

Hearing this, Xue'er suddenly realized and said happily: "So that's how it is! There are Taoist swords with great spirituality in Wanjian Mountain. It is indeed possible for them to sense it."

Li Mu nodded, said no more, formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual power in his body surged out, and shouted in a low voice: "Wanjian Mountain, come out!"

As Li Mu's voice fell, a towering sword mountain emerged from behind him and quickly enlarged. On the sword mountain, thousands of Taoist swords flashed cold light, sword intent soared into the sky, the swords made a buzzing sound, and the spirit was filled.

Li Mu's eyes fixed, he waved his hands, and shouted in a low voice: "Ten thousand swords are unsheathed!"

In an instant, thousands of seventh-order Dao swords shot out from the sword mountain like meteors, with brilliant sword light cutting through the sky. Each Dao sword seemed to have its own consciousness, and each reacted differently.

Some Taoist swords circled in the air for a moment and then slowly returned to the Sword Mountain, as if they were not too attached to freedom; some Taoist swords were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, rushing straight into the sky and flying freely between heaven and earth, with sword light like a rainbow, cutting through the clouds; and some Taoist swords hovered in the air, with the sword body trembling slightly, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, one of the waves of Taoist swords seemed to sense some kind of aura. The sword body shook, and then it rushed towards a certain direction at an extremely fast speed. The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the sky.

Seeing this, Xue'er's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked softly, "Brother Li, did those Dao swords sense the aura of the Wanbao Ding?"

"Not sure yet!" Li Mu's eyes focused, he put away the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and the remaining Dao Swords, and ordered in a deep voice: "Qingyue, follow those Dao Swords!"

The Blue Moon True Dragon roared, and its body shook. The blue moonlight around it became brighter. The dragon's tail swung, and it turned into a stream of blue light, chasing after the speeding Taoist swords.

The people on the dragon's back only felt the whistling of wind in their ears, the surrounding scenery rapidly receding, and the mountains, rivers unfolding like a picture scroll under their feet.

Xue'er stood beside Li Mu, her long hair fluttering in the wind, with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Brother Li, if those Dao swords really find the Wanbao Ding, how should we deal with it? After all, the Wanbao Ding is a ninth-level Dao weapon, I'm afraid it won't be easily obtained by us."

Li Mu's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "I have learned the method of refining the Wanbao Ding, and I know its structure and characteristics very well. If I can find this Ding, I will have a way to communicate with it. If there is really no way, I can only use force!"

The speed of the Qingyue True Dragon was extremely fast, and it caught up with the wave of Taoist swords in the blink of an eye.

He saw those Taoist swords galloping in front, the sword light was like lightning, cutting through the sky, as if guiding the direction. Li Mu concentrated his mind and found that the direction those Taoist swords were heading had already penetrated beyond the Qi Ling Star and continued to gallop towards a certain direction in the outer space.

Li Mu frowned slightly, staring at the direction of the flying Dao swords in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Qingyue, keep up with them, don't fall behind!"

The Blue Moon True Dragon roared, and its body shook. The blue moonlight around it became brighter, and its speed increased again, turning into a stream of blue light, and followed the Dao Sword out of the atmosphere of Qi Ling Star.

As the Qingyue True Dragon rushed out of Qiling Star, the scene in front of them suddenly changed. The vast and boundless star field appeared before everyone. The stars were like sand, the Milky Way was like silk, and the endless void was deep and mysterious.

The Blue Moon True Dragon was speeding through the starry sky, with a faint blue halo around its body, resisting the ubiquitous star power in the void. The Wave Dao Sword was still speeding ahead, the sword light was like lightning, cutting through the void, as if opening up an invisible path in the starry sky.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed, and the two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, entered the outer star region.

That wave of Taoist swords, nearly a thousand of them, were flying rapidly like meteors. As they approached their destination, they became more and more anxious and their speed doubled.

Suddenly, Li Mu frowned and whispered, "There seems to be a strong energy fluctuation ahead, everyone be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, a huge nebula suddenly appeared in the starry sky ahead. In the nebula, the starlight was shining brightly, as if countless stars were floating in it. The Bo Dao sword rushed into the nebula without hesitation.

Seeing this, the Qingyue True Dragon roared, shook its body, and rushed into the nebula immediately afterwards.

As soon as they entered the nebula, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the entire nebula was rejecting their existence.

Xue'er's face changed slightly, and she quickly reminded him, "Brother Li, where is this place? Why is it so depressing?"

Li Mu's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "We have entered the Zhouxing Forbidden Formation. This nebula has a forbidden formation that can block all outside detection. If it weren't for the guidance of the Dao Sword, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find this place at all."

The Blue Moon True Dragon traveled through the nebula, slowing down slightly. The surrounding starlight passed by both sides of the dragon's body like flowing water. Suddenly, the nebula in front suddenly dispersed, revealing an empty void.

And in the center of the void, a huge bronze tripod stood tall, with countless mysterious patterns engraved on the body of the tripod, exuding a deep and mysterious aura. It was the Wanbao Tripod!

Li Mu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he whispered, "Sure enough, it's here!"

However, just as Li Mu was about to step forward, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Who has trespassed into my place of meditation?" (End of this chapter)
