Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

At this moment, Li Mu and Wanbao Ding-Xiao Bao are refining the spirituality of the last ninth-level divine object-Xuanhuang Earth Pearl.

Inside the Wanbao Ding, the space was shaking, as if it was the chaotic scene when the world was first created. The majestic earth energy gathered from all directions and gradually condensed into a three-meter-long ferocious crocodile dragon. The crocodile dragon's back armor was bulging, and the jagged rock spikes stood like mountains. Its sharp claws slashed through the void, tearing out spider-web-like cracks in the space.

"Roar--!"

The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon let out an earth-shaking roar, swung its giant tail, and lashed out at the Wanbao Roulette. The loud sound of metal hitting stone echoed in the cauldron, and it made Xiaobao's eyes sparkle. His spirit body became dispersed and almost dissipated in this violent energy fluctuation.

Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, his ten fingers flew, and the chaotic true energy rushed into the cauldron like a river, instantly turning into dozens of thick chaotic chains, which twisted towards the hind legs of the crocodile dragon. However, the Xuanhuang crocodile dragon twisted its waist and tore the chains into pieces into light spots all over the sky, as if the power that was enough to bind mountains was just child's play in front of it.

Li Mu's heart trembled, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. The chaotic true energy surged like a river, transforming into the phantom of a towering mountain, which pressed down with a loud bang. The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon's body paused, and its limbs were slightly bent by the force of the mountain, as if it was about to be crushed by this force.

"Ang!" The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon roared to the sky. With the blessing of the original power of the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl, the rock spikes on its carapace suddenly expanded, like countless sharp swords piercing the sky, and actually shattered the phantom of the mountain, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the void.

Li Mu's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself that it was not good. The original power of the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl was almost endless. If it was not subdued as soon as possible, even the Wanbao Ding might not be able to withstand its violent energy.

Li Mu suddenly clasped his hands together, and the chaotic true energy in his body surged out and hit the Wanbao Cauldron. Soon, the true energy in the cauldron turned into thin threads that were invisible to the naked eye, interweaving into an impenetrable chaotic net, covering the Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon.

The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon felt unprecedented pressure, a hint of ferocity flashed in its eyes, and it opened its bloody mouth. A desolate air gushed out, like a hurricane sweeping across the earth, colliding with Li Mu's web of chaos.

The two forces clashed fiercely in the void, making bursts of harsh hissing sounds, as if even the space was shaking.

However, the web of chaos showed its incomparable tenacity. No matter how the Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon struggled, it could not break free from its bondage. The fine threads transformed from the chaos essence intertwined into a net that tightly locked every inch of the crocodile dragon's body, making it unable to move.

At this time, Xiao Bao also forced himself to stabilize his spirit body and used all his strength to activate the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron. The Ten Thousand Treasures Wheel in the cauldron shone brightly, emitting brilliant rays of light, dense as rain, covering the Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon. Each ray of light contained a powerful force of confinement, as if it could suppress all things in the world. The light hit the crocodile dragon's body, making its movements slower and slower, as if its limbs were bound by invisible shackles.

The Wanbao Roulette spun rapidly, releasing terrifying spiritual power, which echoed with Li Mu's Chaos Web, forming an unbreakable killing situation.

The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon felt the fatal threat, let out an earth-shaking roar, and struggled violently. The earth energy of the origin of the earth pearl surged wildly, and the rock spikes on the crocodile dragon's back armor surged again, like countless sharp swords piercing the void, trying to break through this predicament.

The power of the web of chaos and the golden light of myriad treasures intertwined is like a dragnet that binds it tightly and continuously strangles the Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon.

The Xuanhuang Crocodile Dragon's struggling strength became weaker and weaker, and its body gradually shrank, eventually turning into an ochre-colored bead, suspended in the center of the cauldron. A heavy and ancient aura flowed on the surface of the bead, emitting endless power of the earth.

"Success!" Xiao Bao let out a long sigh, his spirit body swaying slightly, obviously exhausted. However, the power left in the tripod after successfully wiping out the spirit of the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl was rapidly repairing his spirit body, quietly adding to the foundation of the Wanbao Tripod.

Li Mu put away his spell, and the sweat from his forehead slid down his cheeks, but his eyes were flashing with excitement and relief that were difficult to conceal.

The spirituality of the seven ninth-level divine objects has finally been refined!
"Xiaobao, thank you for your hard work."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl flew out from the Wanbao Ding and fell into his palm. He thanked Xiaobao gratefully.

"Master, it took so much effort to wipe out their spirituality. Do you really want to use them to refine the treasure house? It's such a pity! If you let me refine them, Xiaobao will definitely be able to advance and help the master better!"

Xiao Bao looked at Li Mu eagerly, his spirit body flickering slightly, his face full of regret and reluctance. As the spirit of the Wanbao Ding, no one knew better than him how precious and powerful those ninth-rank divine objects were. They contained the purest original power between heaven and earth. Using them to re-refine a mere eighth-rank Taoist weapon was too much of a waste.

Li Mu put away the Xuanhuang Earth Bead, and looked into Xiaobao's eyes, which were filled with ripples. He smiled slightly, breaking his thoughts and said, "The Ten Thousand Treasure Cauldron is used to devour all treasures and refine spirits for its own use. You are following the path of devouring spirits, which is not in line with the great way of chaos. This time, the refining of the treasure house is based on yin and yang, supplemented by the five elements, and seven ninth-level divine objects as soil, planting the way of chaos. Your foundation is not in chaos, and forcing it to refine will only backfire. Don't dream about it anymore, and help me to refine the treasure house."

Hearing this, Xiao Bao's spirit body trembled slightly, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly said: "Master, the origins of the seven ninth-level divine objects are extremely powerful. The foundation of the mere eighth-level treasure house cannot withstand it at all. If you force it to be refined, if there is a slight mistake, aren't you afraid that all your efforts will fail?"

"No, it will definitely not fail!" Li Mu smiled and retorted confidently: "The seven ninth-level divine objects just happen to gather the origin of yin and yang and the five elements. If we reshape the appropriate array, we can harmonize the yin and yang and the five elements and transform them into the power of chaos. Then, we can use the power of chaos to reshape the foundation of the treasure house. In this way, the foundation of the treasure house will not only not collapse, but will gradually transform under the nourishment of the power of chaos, and eventually surpass the eighth level, and even have the hope of reaching the ninth level."

After that! Li Mu raised his hand and summoned the Painting World Treasure House. A stream of green light fell into his palm. The jade ruyi-like body was crystal clear, with faint Taoist patterns flowing on the surface, exuding the charm of an eighth-level Taoist weapon. However, at this moment, the body of the treasure house seemed a little dim, because the spiritual power in the treasure house was exhausted and lost its former spirituality.

"Master, although this treasure house is an eighth-rank Taoist device, its nature is extremely weak. I'm afraid it can't withstand the impact of this re-refining." Xiao Bao's spirit body flickered slightly, and he hurriedly said.

The treasure house spirit - the five-colored dragon manifested itself and angrily shouted, "Nonsense! The master's craftsmanship is unparalleled, how can you question it? Besides, since the master has decided to use seven ninth-level divine objects to refine this treasure, he must have a foolproof plan!"

After that! The treasure house spirit - the five-colored dragon looked at Li Mu respectfully, with a firm light flashing in the dragon's eyes, and it was obvious that it was full of confidence in its master. "Yes, this time, the refining will be guided by seven ninth-level divine objects, and my own Chaos Avenue will be the foundation, supplemented by the spirit refining power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, to reshape the treasure house array, gather the ten major Dao foundations of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Time and Space, Years, and Cause and Effect, and melt three thousand Dao patterns, and turn them into Chaos Dao treasures, reborn, surpassing the eighth level, and even expected to reach the ninth level." Li Mu's tone was steady, and his eyes revealed great confidence.

Li Mu paused and continued, "What's more, this re-refining is not only to restore the former glory of the treasure house, but also to verify the method of Chaos Seeding Dao. If it succeeds, not only will the treasure house be reborn, but my way of refining will also be taken to a higher level."

Hearing this, the treasure house spirit - Five-Colored Flood Dragon's eyes flashed with excitement, and he growled: "Master, rest assured, Five-Colored is willing to use the body of the spirit to help you refine the treasure house with all your strength! Even if it means being torn to pieces, I will not hesitate!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bao's spirit body flickered slightly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. The Baofu spirit's trust in its master at all costs made it feel ashamed, and it also understood why it could not compete with it for Li Mu's trust.

"Master, I am short-sighted." Xiaobao said in a low voice, bowing slightly. "Since the master has made up his mind, Xiaobao will do his best to help, and will not hesitate for a moment."

Li Mu nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Okay, in that case, let's get started."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu raised his hand and waved, the Painting World Treasure Palace turned into a stream of green light and flew into the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron. The chaotic true essence condensed and injected into the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, turning into a ball of chaotic fire that enveloped the Painting World Treasure Palace.

"Next, I will melt your original weapon array. Your spirituality is in danger of collapse, you have to hold on!" Li Mu looked at the weapon spirit of the Baofu - the five-colored dragon and reminded.

"Master, don't worry. I have been prepared! Even if the spiritual power dissipates, Baofu will never retreat a single step!" The five-colored dragon responded in a deep voice with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Bao, you have to use the Wanbao spiritual light to protect it for three quarters of an hour, at least three quarters of an hour!" Li Mu nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and looked at Ding Ling - Xiao Bao and ordered.

Xiao Bao's spirit body trembled slightly, and then turned into a ray of golden light, merging into the Wanbao Ding. The body of the Ding suddenly glowed with a faint golden light, which firmly stabilized the space inside the Ding and prevented the chaotic power from leaking out.

The Wanbaoding heir Xiaobao responded: "Master, rest assured, Xiaobao will protect the spirituality of the treasure house and will never let it dissipate!"

Li Mu nodded and quickly formed seals with his hands. The chaotic true energy surged like a river and poured into the Wanbao Ding. The chaotic fire in the cauldron instantly surged. In the gray flames, the Taoist patterns on the surface of the treasure house began to disintegrate and turned into countless light spots that merged into the chaotic energy.

"what--!"

The five-colored dragon let out a painful roar, its body trembled violently, its scales broke into pieces, and its spirit body seemed to be cut by countless sharp blades. The pain of soul-stripping was too much for even a spirit of an artifact to endure. Its spirit body gradually became transparent, as if it would dissipate at any time.

"Hold on!" There was a hint of anxiety in Xiaobao's voice. The spiritual source of all treasures contained in the golden light of all treasures was continuously injected into the spirit body of the five-colored dragon, helping it to stabilize its dissipated spirituality.

Seeing this, Li Mu felt relieved. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the chaotic true essence surged like a river, pouring into the body of the treasure house. He used his magical power of refining the equipment - Divine Refining and Fusion of Souls, to reshape the equipment array of the treasure house in the Painting Realm. At the same time, he put the origins of the seven ninth-level divine objects - Taiyin Divine Water, Taiyang Refined Gold, Tianyi Divine Water, Cangyuan Qingmu, Earth Vein Divine Fire, Taijin Divine Stone, and Xuanhuang Earth Pearl into the Wanbao Ding.

Using the fire of chaos as the furnace, seven ninth-level divine objects as materials, and Yin and Yang and the Five Elements as the basis, he began to reshape the treasure house.

The fire of chaos burned fiercely, and the body of the treasure house gradually melted in the flames, turning into a ball of crystal clear liquid. In the liquid, the original array was rearranged by the power of chaos, and a new array gradually took shape. Under the guidance of the chaos true essence, the original power of the seven ninth-level divine objects was slowly injected into the liquid and merged with the body of the treasure house.

"Yin and Yang are in harmony, the Five Elements rotate, and chaos evolves!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, and suddenly put his hands together. The chaotic energy in the cauldron instantly condensed into a tiny spot of light and merged into the body of the treasure house.

Li Mu did not hesitate to give up part of his cultivation and injected a ray of the origin of chaos into the treasure palace. He refined the treasure palace with the method of planting Tao. Although the light spot was small, it contained endless vitality and power. It rotated slowly, and every rotation would derive new Tao patterns around it, as if a brand new world was being nurtured in it.

A phantom of chaotic green lotus burst out from Li Mu's fingertips. The moment that ray of chaotic origin merged with the embryo of the treasure house, a chaotic vortex suddenly rose in the cauldron. The light spot in the center of the vortex expanded rapidly and turned into a black sphere that swallowed everything. It was surrounded by 3,600 rotating stardust, and each grain of stardust reflected a different law pattern.

"Boom——"

The Wanbao Ding trembled violently, and the Taotie pattern on the wall of the Ding suddenly came alive, opening its huge mouth to frantically swallow the overflowing chaotic energy. Xiaobao's spirit body flickered at the Ding's ears, and it was horrified to find that the stardust was actually evolving into all things in the heavens: the fragments of the Lihuo Pearl turned into red meteors, outlining the Great Dao of Fire at the edge of the vortex; the Tianyi Divine Water condensed into ice crystal chains, entangled with the ripples of the law of time; the Xuanhuang Earth Pearl disintegrated into dust, and each grain of dust carried the projection of a miniature continent.

The five-colored dragon suddenly let out a deafening dragon roar, and its broken spirit body was forcibly pulled into the core of the chaotic vortex. In the deepest part of the vortex, yin and yang fish patterns began to grow on its dragon horns, and liquid chaotic power flowed in the gaps between its scales.

"Three thousand Dao seeds, bloom!" Li Mu spat out a mouthful of essence and blood, and his natal Dao seed emerged in the blood mist - the Chaos Green Lotus actually gave birth to a thirty-six-grade lotus platform.

The lotus pedestal rotated and pressed into the vortex, and its roots were linked to three thousand chains of laws, which forcibly gathered the runaway chaotic power. At this moment, the embryo of the treasure house had turned into a chaotic womb, and mysterious patterns of the great Dao appeared on the surface, from which countless great Dao laws were derived. The Jiyang Dao was derived... The Taijin Divine Stone turned into a golden crow and crashed into it... The Dao of Wood and the Dao of Time were derived. The branches and leaves of the Cangyuan Qingmu withered and flourished hundreds and thousands of times in an instant... As time passed, chaos continued to evolve, and three thousand patterns emerged one after another and merged into one.

At this moment, the Wanbao Ding spirit - Xiaobao stared at everything in front of him in a daze, and was extremely shocked. He had never seen such a magnificent refining scene, the power of chaos surged in the Ding, and the laws of the three thousand great ways intertwined into a network, interpreting the magnificent scene of the beginning of the world.
