Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

As that old and majestic voice sounded, the chaotic power in the void stagnated slightly, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

Li Mu frowned, his eyes like lightning, and quickly locked onto the source of the sound.

I saw that in the depths of the void, a bright starlight suddenly lit up, and then the starlight poured down like a waterfall, condensing into six figures. The leader was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a star robe and holding an ancient star staff.

The old man had a kind face, but there was an aura of majesty between his brows. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and his feet were on the void. With every step he took, a circle of starlight rippled out.

Behind the old man, three men and two women followed closely, each of them had a powerful aura and were obviously the strongest among the Star Turtle clan.

The six people stepped on the void, surrounded by starlight, and had a strong aura, as if the entire starry sky was making way for them.

"Ancestor!" When Xing Yun saw the old man, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he struggled to shout.

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the meteorite, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to Li Mu, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Daoyou, can you give me a favor and stop for now?"

Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. The old man in front of him had an unfathomable aura, and possessed the aura of cultivation at the ultimate level. The three men and two women, two eighth-level demon cultivators, and three seventh-level true spirits also possessed impressive strength.

"Since the senior has spoken, I shall obey. However, this tripod belongs to an old friend of mine, and I must take it away today." Li Mu controlled the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate, slowed down the sealing speed, looked at the old man, and gestured.

"How dare you!" A burly middle-aged man among the three men and two women behind the old man shouted angrily, his eyes flashing coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Mu's attitude. He took a step forward, and the starlight around him surged, like a beast ready to attack at any time.

"Xinghuang, step back." The old man interrupted decisively.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Xing Huang was unwilling to give in, but he still took a step back respectfully and bowed his head and said, "Yes, Ancestor."

The old man's gaze fell on Li Mu again, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and he praised: "As expected of Li Jianxian, at such a young age, he has such courage. No wonder he was able to defeat the Immortal Demon God and the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor! As expected of the number one cultivator of the human race!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three men and two women behind the old man were all shocked and looked at Li Mu in disbelief.

Obviously, they had not expected that the young cultivator in front of them would have such an amazing record. He defeated the Immortal Demon God and the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor in a row. Even their ancestors might not be able to do such a feat easily.

Trapped in the chaos formation, Xingyun, who revealed his true form, stared with his tortoise eyes wide open, unable to believe that his opponent was such a terrifying existence. He originally thought that he was only defeated by a human genius, but he did not expect that the opponent was a peerless powerhouse who could defeat the Immortal Demon God and the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor.

For a moment, Xingyun was shocked and regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would never have easily become an enemy of Li Mu.

Seeing everyone's different expressions, the old man smiled slightly and continued to say to Li Mu: "Li Jianxian, I am Xingqiong, the ancestor of the Xinggui clan. Today's matter may have some misunderstandings. Although this tripod was obtained by our clan, if it is really the property of Li Jianxian's old friend, I am unwilling to keep it."

"However, this tripod is extremely powerful and can be regarded as a treasure that protects the clan's fortune. Our clan spent a lot of money to obtain it. If you want to take it away by force, it may not be appropriate!" The old man paused for a moment, changed the subject, and continued.

As the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere in the void suddenly became solemn. Starlight and the power of chaos intertwined in the void, as if two invisible forces were competing in secret.

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, his eyes remained firm, the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a faint aura of chaos, as if responding to the old man's pressure.

"Senior!" Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, and he said bluntly, "This tripod is extremely important to my cultivation. Now that I have found it today, I will never let it go. If you insist on stopping me, I will have no choice but to offend you."

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Li Jianxian, I am not an unreasonable person. Although this tripod is obtained by our clan, if you are really destined to have it, I am unwilling to take it away. However, this tripod is related to the fortune of our clan. If you insist on taking it away, you must agree to my three conditions."

Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What are the conditions?"

The old man smiled slightly, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Li Jianxian not only has great cultivation, but also practices the Great Dao of Chaos. His weapon refining skills are also well-known. I have heard of it a long time ago. First of all, our clan has always been based on the power of the stars, but we are a little lacking in weapon refining. I hope that Li Jianxian can refine an eighth-level formation weapon for our clan. The spiritual materials will be provided by our clan. I can give in a little on the matter of the tripod."

Hearing this, Li Mu raised his brows slightly, feeling a little surprised. The eighth-rank formation device was extraordinary and it was extremely energy-consuming to refine. However, if he could exchange it for the Wanbao Ding, it would be worth it.

"I can agree to what you said, senior." Li Mu thought for a moment and nodded, "However, refining an eighth-level formation device requires a lot of time and energy. I have other important matters right now, so I'm afraid I can't finish it in a short time."

"It's okay. This matter can be completed within a hundred years! What do you think, Immortal Li Jian?" The old man smiled slightly, with a bit of tolerance and understanding in his tone.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you are so magnanimous, I will do my best. What is your second condition?"

Seeing that Li Mu agreed so readily, the old man's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and then he said: "The second thing is related to a secret place."

The old man paused, and introduced with some solemnity: "Our clan has guarded an ancient secret realm for generations, called the 'Starlight Secret Realm'. This secret realm was opened up by our ancestors with supreme magical powers. It contains endless star power and is the foundation of our clan's cultivation. However, in the past thousand years, the star power in the secret realm has gradually become disordered, and there are even signs of space collapse. If it is not repaired, I am afraid that the entire secret realm will be destroyed."

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Senior, do you want me to enter the Xinghui Secret Realm and repair it?"

The old man nodded and said earnestly, "That's right. The Chaos Path that Fellow Daoist Li cultivates, the power of chaos and the power of the stars are both the original power of heaven and earth. If we can use the power of chaos to reconcile the disordered star power in the secret realm, we may be able to save the foundation of our clan. In addition, I have heard that Li Jianxian is not only proficient in refining weapons, but also has unparalleled array skills. Therefore, I hope that Li Jianxian can use the power of the Chaos Path to set up a star power array for our clan in the secret realm, so as to stabilize the secret realm space and reconcile the star power."

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly surprised. He did not expect that this old man knew his formation art so well. He murmured, "I wonder when this Starlight Secret Realm will be opened?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "The Starry Secret Realm opens once every thousand years. The next time it will open should be on the 'Falling Star Day' two hundred years from now. By then, my clan will use the star array to open the door to the secret realm, and I will be able to enter it." This matter will take another two hundred years. Although it is a bit troublesome, there is plenty of time and he can do it.

Li Mu thought for a moment, nodded and said solemnly: "On the day of the falling star, I will come on time to help the nobles repair the secret realm. However, I can only do my best, and I cannot guarantee whether this will happen or not."

"Of course!" The old man showed a look of relief on his face, and said with a smile: "With the help of Li Jianxian, the danger of our clan's secret realm can be solved."

Li Mu met the old man's gaze and asked hurriedly, "What is the third condition, senior?"

A deep light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he slowly said: "The third thing is that my Star Turtle clan migrated from the Immortal Spirit Realm to this world. We are unfamiliar with the place and have enemies all around us. Li Jianxian has great cultivation. If my clan encounters a catastrophe in the future, you need to help us once."

As soon as these words came out, Li Mu frowned slightly, looking at the old man with a slightly heavy heart. The Star Turtle Clan possessed an extremely powerful person and three eighth-rank demon cultivators. The strength and foundation of the clan were so profound that a catastrophe that even they could not cope with must be extraordinary.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Senior, this matter is of great importance. I dare not agree lightly. If the nobles encounter a catastrophe in the future that goes against my Dao heart, or involves innocent lives, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to help. In addition, I am a human cultivator after all. If it involves a dispute between the two races, I can only do my best, but I cannot guarantee that everything will be perfect."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded and said, "Li Jianxian is indeed upright, and I will not force him. If the great disaster that our clan encounters in the future is contrary to Li Jianxian's Taoism, you don't have to take action. However, if there is a grudge between our clan and our old enemy, I hope Li Jianxian can lend a hand."

Li Mu nodded happily: "If it is just a grudge between old enemies, I will do my best to help, and I can agree to this.

Seeing Li Mu's agreement, the old man smiled with satisfaction and said with understanding, "Immortal Li Jian has such intention. I am already satisfied."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded and said, "My friend is indeed straightforward. In this case, I will not stop you."

After saying that, the old man waved the Star Staff in his hand, and the Zhou Xing Confinement Array around the Wanbao Ding suddenly dissipated. The body of the Ding trembled slightly, making a crisp sound, as if cheering for the regained freedom.

At the moment the trap was lifted, the spiritual power of the Wanbao Ding burst out, and the body of the Ding suddenly burst into a dazzling light. The body of the Ding trembled slightly, and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the depths of the void, at a speed so fast that it was difficult to catch.

How could Li Mu let it do as it wished? He snorted coldly, quickly formed seals with his hands, and the chaotic power in his body surged out like a tide, transforming into a huge chaotic net, covering the Wanbao Ding.

The web of chaos instantly caught up with the Wan Bao Ding and bound it tightly. The Wan Bao Ding struggled violently, and its body kept shaking and making buzzing sounds, as if resisting Li Mu's control.

However, Li Mu was proficient in the art of refining weapons and had even learned the Wanbao Ding's method of refining weapons. The power of the Taoist divine consciousness condensed by the Nebula Observation Method quickly penetrated the weapon formation and weapon base of the Wanbao Ding.

The array of instruments inside the tripod was extremely complex and profound. Li Mu's spiritual thoughts were unravelled one by one like peeling off a cocoon and pulling out silk. After a while, the struggle of the Wanbao Ding gradually weakened, and the tremor of the tripod body slowly subsided, and finally became completely quiet.

Li Mu successfully defeated the spirit of the Wanbao Ding and left a soul imprint on the core of the weapon array.

The corner of Li Mu's mouth rose slightly, the magic formula in his hand changed, and he released a force of chaos and merged it into the Wanbao Ding.

With a "hum", the Wanbao Ding made a low humming sound. The body of the Ding trembled slightly, then slowly shrank, turned into a stream of light, and flew into Li Mu's palm.

Li Mu looked down at the Wanbao Ding in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The body of the Ding was simple and heavy, with clear patterns, faintly revealing a powerful aura of the Wanbao Emperor.

"It is worthy of being a ninth-level ultimate Taoist weapon. It is indeed extraordinary in spirituality." Li Mu gently stroked the body of the tripod, feeling the tremendous power contained in it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The old man saw that Li Mu had subdued the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron so easily, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said with emotion: "This cauldron is extremely spiritual and unruly. Li Jianxian is indeed extraordinary. He was able to subdue it so easily, unlike us who could only trap it with a formation. I admire you."

Li Mu put away the Wanbao Ding and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I haven't asked Mingwei for advice yet."

"I am the ancestor of the Star Turtle Clan - Xingqiong. Today I would like to make a good friend. If you have time, why don't you come to our clan to have a chat, so that I can fulfill my role as a host." Ancestor Xingqiong looked at Li Mu with a smile and invited him sincerely.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed to the Starry Sky Patriarch calmly, saying, "Senior, I came here this time for the matter of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron. Now that the cauldron is in my hands, I am worried about other important matters and I am afraid I cannot stay for long. As for the matters of refining equipment and array inheritance that you mentioned, although I am willing to help, I am really too busy at the moment. I hope you can forgive me."

Upon hearing this, a trace of regret flashed across Xingqiong Patriarch's eyes, but he quickly recovered and nodded, saying, "Since Li Jianxian has important matters to attend to, I cannot force him to stay. However, I hope Li Jianxian will not forget the matter of Xinghui Secret Realm."

Li Mu said solemnly: "Don't worry, senior. On the day of the falling star, I will come on time to help the Star Turtle Clan repair the secret realm. As for other matters, I will discuss them with you in detail after the matter of the secret realm is settled."

The Starry Sky Patriarch smiled slightly and said, "That's great. Since Li Jianxian has made up his mind to leave, I will not try to persuade him to stay. However, before you leave, I have something to give you, which may be helpful to you."

After saying that, the Starry Sky Patriarch waved the Star Staff in his hand, and a ray of starlight condensed into a palm-sized star-patterned token and flew towards Li Mu.

Li Mu reached out to take the token, feeling its warmth. The token was engraved with complicated star runes, faintly emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is the 'Starlight Order'. Anyone holding this order can communicate with people of the same clan, and can also use their star protection array for defense. If Li Jianxian needs anything, he can use this order to contact our clan." The Starry Sky Patriarch explained.

Li Mu nodded in thanks, put away the token, and said with a folded hand: "Thank you for the generous gift, senior. I'll take my leave." (End of this chapter)
