Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"Water and fire are too strong, and they conflict with each other. If you force them to merge, you will be controlled by them."

Li Mu muttered to himself in a low voice, with a chaotic light flowing in his eyes, as if he was deducing the great truth.

Although the previous attempt to refine the "Water and Fire Wheel Array" produced a talisman, its power was limited and its spirituality was insufficient, far from expectations. Soon, Li Mu had a new realization in his mind - the mutual generation of the Five Elements and chaos as the basis might be the true way to heaven.

"The Five Elements are the foundation of heaven and earth, the mother energy of all things. If they can be harmonized with chaos and evolve into the principle of mutual generation, their power may not be weaker than the extreme way, but it is more in line with the cycle of heaven!"

Li Mu's mind moved, he stretched out his hand and waved, five rays of spiritual light flew out from the Tianxuan Ring and hovered in front of him. They were exactly five seventh-level spiritual materials that matched the origin of the five elements, a piece of red fire essence stone, a ball of Xuanming true water, a piece of ancient wood heart, a piece of Taibai gold essence, and a ball of Wu earth elemental magnet.

Li Mu took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and the Chaos Seed in his Dantian trembled violently. Wisps of primordial chaotic energy surged out and intertwined into a ball of chaotic fire in the void.

Li Mu pressed his hands lightly, and the Chaos Fire suddenly expanded, transforming into a Chaos Furnace with a radius of three meters. Gray Chaos Air was flowing on the surface of the furnace, but inside, one could clearly see five-colored spiritual lights flashing alternately. His fingers were like swords, moving as he wished, and five spiritual materials were thrown into the furnace one after another.

"The fire spirit is the guide, and it will suppress Li's position!"

The blood-red ore flew into the core of the furnace first, and gradually softened in the chaotic fire. Fine fire patterns appeared on the surface. These patterns were not static, but wriggling like living things, sometimes turning into a red bird spreading its wings, and sometimes turning into a circling fire dragon.

When the fire pattern evolved to its extreme, Li Mu suddenly changed his tactics: "Water gives birth to wood, Xuanming True Water goes!"

The dark blue ball of water fell into the furnace, forming a sharp contrast with the red fire essence. Strangely, the water and fire did not counteract each other when they met, but under the harmony of the chaotic power, the green Yi wood energy gradually emerged.

"Sure enough."

Li Mu's eyes gleamed: "Water and fire collide to create wood, this is the essence of the innate Yi wood."

I saw the green light in the furnace becoming brighter and brighter, and it condensed into an illusory sapling, with the purest vitality flowing between its branches and leaves.

The time has come, Li Mu's sleeves rolled up: "Ancient Wood Heart, enter!"

The seemingly dead and rotten piece of wood suddenly came alive. The cracked bark on the surface peeled off layer by layer, revealing the emerald core inside. When it touched the Chaos Fire, the entire core of the wood burst into flames, but it was not an ordinary flame, but a green flame full of vitality.

A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the furnace. The green flames merged perfectly with the Yimu virtual image that had been condensed earlier, and turned into the virtual image of a giant tree that stood tall and straight. When the treetop touched the top of the furnace, a metallic luster suddenly flowed between the branches and leaves.

"Golden energy is generated by itself, Taibai Golden Essence, enter!"

Li Mu pointed his sword, and the silver-white metal turned into a stream of light and sank into the tree canopy. In an instant, countless metal leaves condensed on the branches. Each leaf was as thin as a cicada's wing, but the edges flashed a heart-pounding cold light.

At the moment when the golden essence was completely absorbed, something strange happened. Metal blades suddenly shot out and were about to tear the Chaos Furnace apart.

Li Mu had anticipated this, and the speed of forming seals with his hands increased suddenly: "Earth virtue carries everything, Wu earth elemental magnet, suppress!"

The ball of yellow earth-type spiritual material exploded and turned into star sand that covered the furnace. The grains of sand were as heavy as a thousand pounds and suppressed the rioting gold energy. What was even more amazing was that the earth spirit energy seeped into the roots of the giant tree, making the entire phantom more solid.

"The five elements circulate, and chaos is the guide."

Li Mu bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment the blood mist touched the furnace, the five-colored light in the furnace suddenly stopped and then began to rotate in the opposite direction.

The red fire essence stone gradually faded and turned into the purest fire energy; the dark blue water mass steamed up into mist; the shadow of the verdant giant tree decomposed into countless light points; the sharp gold essence softened like mud; the thick Wu earth continued to emerge,...,
When the five spiritual materials returned to their origins, Li Mu put his palms together and said in a deep and stern voice: "Concentrate!"

In the Chaos Furnace, the speed at which the five-colored light was rotating in the opposite direction gradually slowed down. The originally violent energy became as gentle as a stream under the guidance of the Chaos Force...

Li Mu formed nine seals with his hands, which secretly matched the rhythm of the rotation of the Five Elements. The five original energies in the furnace lost their edge and turned into mist, blending with each other and gradually condensing into a translucent jade embryo.

The spell in Li Mu's hand changed, and the Chaos Furnace dissipated. The talisman embryo suspended in the furnace slowly flew in front of him and hovered in the air.

The three-inch square five-colored jade piece seems to have stars flowing inside, and the surface of the five-colored rays of light rotates naturally. Between the alternating lights, twisted five-element Taoist patterns appear on the surface. The five Taoist rhymes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are hidden between the patterns, which are connected to each other to form a circulation cycle. It is seven points more spiritual than the runes that were forcibly engraved before.

"Chaos gave birth to the five elements, and the great way was formed by nature."

Li Mu's eyes became more and more enlightened, and with a thought, he immediately took out a seventh-level inkstone and a seventh-level talisman pen from the Tianxuan Ring.

Li Mu placed the Five Elements Jade piece flat in the air, pinched his left hand to activate the power of the Chaos Dao Seed, and held the talisman pen in his right hand to lightly touch the spiritual ink in the inkstone.

"The beginning is Dongfang Qingmu."

The moment the talisman pen was dipped in the green spiritual dew, the tip of the pen began to vibrate spontaneously. Li Mu turned his wrist slightly, and the tip of the pen fell accurately on a natural wood grain on the east edge of the jade piece. As the tip of the pen moved, the green wood energy in the jade piece was gradually awakened.

The faintly visible wood grain gradually becomes clear, and upon closer inspection it is actually composed of countless tiny leaf veins. Li Mu's brushwork seems slow but is actually fast, and the turning points are in line with the meaning of the growth of spring trees. When the last stroke connects with the beginning, the entire green area suddenly reveals the shadow of weeping willows in March, and dots of green light are sprinkled as the willow branches sway gently.

"The red fire continues in the south."

The talisman brush passed over the red area of ​​the inkstone, and the tip of the brush was immediately stained with cinnabar. This time, the place where the brush fell was exactly the end of the wood grain. The moment the tip of the brush touched the jade piece, the previously drawn wood grain suddenly ignited with illusory flames.

Li Mu guided the strokes and outlined flame patterns with his pen. The amazing thing was that these fire patterns were not static, but slowly jumped on the surface of the jade piece, sometimes turning into a Vermillion Bird spreading its wings, and sometimes turning into a blooming fire lotus.

When the fire pattern was drawn to seven-tenths, Li Mu suddenly turned the pen, dipped it in the yellow spiritual dew in the center, and lightly touched the junction of fire and wood. This seemed random, but it made the originally conflicting wood and fire energies instantly blend.

"Western Platinum Succession."

The silvery-white spiritual dew condensed into beads at the tip of the pen, and a clear sound of metal and stone was emitted when the pen was put to paper. Li Mu's brushwork suddenly became sharp, like a sword's stroke, and fine metal lines were carved on the west side of the jade piece. As the tip of the pen moved, the sound of a sword could be heard from inside the jade piece.

"The northern mysterious water is born."

The blue spirit dew condensed into frost on the tip of the pen, and fine water droplets naturally condensed on the surface of the jade piece when the pen was put down. Li Mu's brushstrokes became long and gentle, like a winding stream, and the water lines he drew showed the momentum of a rushing river. When the water lines and the gold lines met, the natural rhythm of gold giving birth to water appeared, and the end of the metal lines naturally turned into water ripples. "The central earth is formed."

The final touch of the loess dew was as thick as paste. Wherever the tip of the brush passed, a miniature picture of mountains and rivers emerged on the surface of the jade piece. At this moment, Li Mu's brushwork became steady and heavy, as if he was painting the earth and describing a world.

Soon, a large number of earth patterns were drawn in and connected to the other four patterns. The five elements of jade began to emit a hazy yellow light... and the five-colored patterns connected end to end, forming a perfect cycle.

Li Mu did not stop writing, but used the power of the Chaos Dao Seed as ink to outline nine Chaos Dao patterns at the intersection of the five-colored patterns.

The Chaos Dao Pattern is gray and inconspicuous, but it connects the Five Elements Patterns tightly like a lock. When the last stroke is made, the five-colored jade pieces can't help but rotate on their own, and the five-colored light flows alternately, giving rise to a miniature phantom of a five-element world.

"Five Elements Talisman, done."

With Li Mu's light shout, the Five Elements Talisman stopped rotating and fell steadily on his palm. The five-colored Taoist patterns on the surface were natural, and the five elements of spiritual energy circulated endlessly inside.

"This is the real talisman!"

Li Mu stroked the surface of the talisman. It felt warm and had the vast aura of the beginning of the world. When his mind moved slightly, the talisman naturally transformed into a five-colored light curtain. Golden blades, green vines, black ice, flames, and rock barriers were born in a cycle, forming a barrier of their own in the process of mutual generation and transformation. Compared with the previous state of the talisman, this treasure was more spiritual, with both the endless longevity and the mystery of the rotation of the five elements.

"With this level of spirituality, you are capable of communicating with spirits." Li Mu smiled with satisfaction.

The next moment, Li Mu sensed a will of heaven suddenly descending from outside the treasure house, locking onto the five elements talisman.

Li Mu responded calmly. With a wave of his hand, a group of formation tools flew out from the Tianxuan Ring, and in an instant he set up the "Tian Yan Escape Formation", which made the newly born Five Elements Talisman instantly merge with the entire world of the treasure house space, blurring the boundaries of its existence, thus avoiding the perception of the will of heaven.

This five-element talisman was created by Li Mu by combining the three great skills of weapon refining, spiritual talismans, and puppetry. It is a talisman of its own, but ultimately it cannot be compared to a Taoist weapon.

Li Mu's mind moved, and he put it into the Tianxuan Ring.

Ever since the battle with two extremely powerful beings, the Black Eagle Demon and the Jade Kirin Immortal Emperor, Li Mu realized that although he had many means, he lacked a real killer move. Although the Avenue of Chaos was powerful, it was ultimately limited by the Extreme Avenue, and it was difficult for him to exert its ultimate power.

Even if he possessed the three life-saving instruments, the Chaos Spirit Banner, the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate, and the Chaos Treasure Mansion, he lacked efficient, powerful, and ultimate means of attack, and ultimately it would be difficult for him to gain an absolute advantage in the battle at the extreme level.

Li Mu is best at cultivating the various arts, so he hopes to use tools to convey the truth and talismans to perform magic, so as to integrate his understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos and create a unique skill.

However, just as Li Mu was about to further deduce the method of refining a new type of talisman, he suddenly noticed something strange - the thunder that had been previously blocked by the "Tian Yan Escape Formation" did not retreat, but instead became more and more intense, and the will of heaven continued to lock on him.

"Hey! It's not a weapon robbery!"

Li Mu released his spiritual sense and sensed it, and immediately realized that something was wrong with the thunder. The target of the will of heaven was not the Five Elements Talisman, but the Imperial Spirit Bracelet on his wrist.

Li Mu immediately thought of something, and with a thought, a green dragon shadow flew out from the Yuling bracelet.

"Qinglin greets the master!"

After Qinglin appeared, he immediately transformed into a handsome young man in blue clothes, bowed to Li Mu and greeted him.

“You’re welcome!” Li Mu waved his hand, and a gentle spiritual force lifted Qing Lin up. His spiritual sense passed through the treasure house, staring at the surging calamity clouds in the sky, and asked solemnly: “Qing Lin, the Dragon King bloodline in your body has awakened, attracting this Dragon King thunder calamity. This calamity is not trivial. Are you sure!”

Previously, the Dragon King blood in Qinglin's body suddenly awakened and needed to be dormant for digestion, so Li Mu put it into the Imperial Spirit Bracelet and let it cultivate in peace. Unexpectedly, such a shocking heavenly calamity would be triggered today.

Upon hearing this, Qinglin looked solemn as he sensed the calamity thunder outside the treasure house. The calamity cloud had transformed into a sea of ​​green thunder. Nine giant thunder dragons could be vaguely seen circling in the cloud, each emitting an earth-shattering pressure.

“Master, this is the Nine Heavens Dragon King Tribulation.” Qing Lin took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: “According to the memory of the Ancestral Dragon, it will only appear when the Dragon King is going through the tribulation. Although Qing Lin has awakened the Dragon King bloodline, after all, he has only been cultivating for a short time…”

"If you don't have the confidence to deal with it, I can cast a spell to suppress the Dragon King's blood in your body, but the price..." Li Mu frowned and suggested.

"Master, wait a minute! The dignity of the dragon clan cannot be insulted. Although this calamity is strong, it is also a necessary concern for Qinglin to temper the Dragon Emperor's true body and achieve the great way. It cannot be postponed!" Qinglin suddenly spoke up, interrupting Li Mu's proposal.

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded and said, "Good! You have guts! A person who has achieved enlightenment must have an unyielding will. In this case, I will lend you a helping hand and protect you as you overcome the calamity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand, and the two figures left the Chaos Treasure House and appeared in the sky thousands of feet high.

I saw that above the sky, the calamity clouds had turned into a green sea of ​​thunder that covered the sky and the sun. The clouds were as thick as lead and stretched for thousands of miles. Lightning snakes were dancing wildly in the clouds, and lightning was like a waterfall. Nine giant dragons condensed from pure thunder were tumbling in the sea of ​​clouds. Thunder roared, the void trembled, and the sky and the earth lost their color.

With the appearance of Qing Lin, the blue sea of ​​thunder that covered the sky and the sun suddenly boiled up, as if it was completely enraged by some invisible force. Nine giant thunder dragons roared at the same time, and the roar shook the clouds within a radius of thousands of miles to shatter.

"Rumble--"

A huge vortex suddenly opened up in the center of the sea of ​​thunder. Deep in the vortex, countless green lightning bolts intertwined and condensed, as if forming a towering thunder palace. The entire palace was made up of the purest thunder. Lifelike statues of thunder dragons were perched on the eaves, and every piece of rubble was flashing with heart-pounding electric light.

"This is the Ancient Thunder Prison?!" Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed in surprise: "The legendary Ancestral Dragon Thunder Tribulation that killed the ancient Ancestral Dragon!"

Seeing the changes in the thunder, Li Mu couldn't help but worry about Qinglin's situation.

"hold head high!"

Qing Lin was not afraid at all. He let out a long roar towards the sky, and his body suddenly grew in size, transforming into a thousand-foot-long green dragon that soared into the sky. The emerald green dragon scales all over his body were lit up with ancient green patterns, sparkling brightly under the lightning, looking very majestic.

The will of heaven seemed to be angered by Qinglin's actions. The main door of the Thunder Palace slowly opened, and a giant shadow of thunder condensed completely by lightning walked out. It wore a thunder crown, thunder armor, and held a giant thunder hammer in its hand. (End of this chapter)
