Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Just as Li Mu was talking to Xiao Jin, two familiar clear sounds suddenly came from the sky, and two divine lights, one red and one blue, broke through the air.

"Wow—!"

The phoenix cried loudly, and the Scarlet Fire Phoenix spread its wings. Fire flowed all over the sky like blooming red lotuses, transforming into a gorgeous woman in a fiery red dress, with flaming hair, sharp phoenix eyes, and a flickering flame emblem between her brows, and she landed beside Li Mu.

"Xiao Jin, congratulations, you finally didn't get struck by lightning and turned into a roasted monkey." Chi Lian's red lips curled up slightly. Although his tone was teasing, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Following closely behind, the Blue Moon True Dragon transformed into a young man in green clothes, with stern eyes and moonlight flowing around him.

"You have done well in overcoming the calamity of the Demon King!" Qingyue True Dragon looked at Xiao Jin with satisfaction and smiled approvingly.

"Hehe, you guys are finally back! I'm the Demon King now, so don't hold me back in a fight in the future!" When Xiao Jin saw the two of them, golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes and he laughed.

Chi Lian snorted coldly, with red flames dancing on his fingertips: "You are so arrogant right after surviving the calamity? Do you believe that I will burn all your monkey hair right now?"

Qingyue glanced at him calmly, a drop of moonlight appeared on her palm, and she flicked her finger, accurately landing it on the golden mark between Xiaojin's eyebrows: "Stabilize the origin, don't waste it."

Xiao Jin grinned, stretched out his arms and hugged the two men: "Stop talking nonsense! Now that we're back, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Chi Lian flashed, her red skirt fluttering as she avoided his bear hug and said with disdain, "You smell like burnt food, stay away from me!"

Qingyue raised her hand calmly, and a moonlight barrier blocked Xiaojin, saying seriously: "Be restrained, the master is beside you, don't act recklessly!"

Seeing this, Li Mu shook his head and laughed. Chi Lian was arrogant, Qing Yue was steady, and Xiao Jin was wild. The three of them got together and had a lot of fun.

Li Mu glanced around and saw the black jade rock lizard - Xiao Wa, who was in the corner with a look of envy and loneliness. Xiao Jin successfully merged with the ancestral vein, survived the thunder tribulation and advanced to the eighth-level demon king. This has always been a great stimulation for Xiao Wa, who was also stuck in the seventh-level bottleneck.

"Xiao Wa, what are you thinking about?" Li Mu walked forward and said.

Xiao Wa raised his head, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his amber pupils: "Master..., Xiao Jin awakened his ancestral veins through Soul Devouring, can I, can I also..."

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and fell into deep thought, not knowing what to say to him for a moment.

Xiao Jin has the blood of the blue-eyed golden ape. Although it is only at the fourth level, its blood is relatively pure. They are all from the ape clan. By devouring the soul and swallowing the high-level ape blood, there is a chance to awaken the ancient ancestral blood. However, Xiao Wa's situation is completely different.
Li Mu pondered for a moment, then gently patted Xiao Wa's hard black jade scales and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Wa, your situation is different from Xiao Jin's."

Xiao Wa's amber pupils dimmed slightly, and he whispered, "Master, is it because my bloodline is too mixed?"

Li Mu nodded, then shook his head: "The mixed blood is one thing, but more importantly, your origin attributes. You are a hybrid of the Black Jade Dragon and the Iron-armored Rock Lizard. These two bloodlines are not related to each other. If you want to awaken your ancestral bloodline..."

Li Mu did not continue, but the meaning was clear. The blood of the Little Jade Dragon came from his father, while the blood of the Fourth-Level Iron-Armored Rock Lizard came from his mother. Although both bloodlines belong to the earth element, the dragon is more focused on "spiritual change" while the rock lizard is more focused on "heavy", forming a delicate balance in your body. If you forcibly awaken one of them, it is likely to destroy this balance and cause the bloodline to backfire.

Xiao Wa lowered his head, and his thick tail unconsciously slapped the ground, making a dull sound: "I understand."

Seeing Xiao Wa's lost look, Li Mu changed the subject and said, "But I have thought of another way."

"What road?" Xiao Wa looked up suddenly, and the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes.

"The Dao is passed down." Li Mu looked at Xiao Wa with deep eyes and explained, "Since the bloodline is blocked, we can only take the path of cultivation. You inherited the Dao of Chi Hong in Lingxu Fudao, a Dao of the extreme realm. He must have his reasons for choosing you as the successor!"

"Master, the Taoist method passed down to me by Taoist Master Chihong is called 'Emperor of Earth's Sutra of Suppressing the Mountain'. Maybe I'm too stupid, and this method is quite difficult to practice. I still can't comprehend the key to it." Xiao Wa lowered his head and said sadly.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned. The inheritance of Taoist scriptures is difficult to describe in words. After Xiao Wa obtained the Taoist inheritance from Chihong Taoist Lord, he never asked about the details.

However, Xiao Wa relied on this method to break through the sixth level of transformation and successfully advanced to the realm of true spirit. This was when it was unable to practice to perfection. Now it seems that this "Emperor of the Earth Sutra" is probably extraordinary.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then suddenly cast a spell, put away the magic formula, and a spirit seal fell on Xiao Wa.

"This method is not easily passed on. I want to share my soul with you and see what the mystery of this method is." Li Mu looked at Xiao Wa and gestured.

Xiao Wa nodded happily, relaxed his mind, and let Li Mu control him.

Li Mu's spiritual consciousness has followed the Yuling Seal into the depths of Xiao Wa's sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, he seemed to be on a vast and boundless land, with a high sky and towering mountains. A vast and heavy Taoist rhyme came towards him.

"Is this... the manifestation of the artistic conception inherited from the "Emperor of Earth's Sutra of Suppressing the Mountain"? " Li Mu was shocked.

Looking up, I saw a towering mountain rising from the ground in the distance. The mountain was engraved with ancient Taoist patterns, which contained the power to suppress the heaven and earth. On the top of the mountain, a vague figure stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, as if he existed with the heaven and earth.

"Chihong Daojun?"

Li Mu immediately realized that this might be a trace of will left by Daojun in the inheritance!
The figure slowly turned around, staring at Li Mu with eyes as deep as the abyss: "Those who dare to spy on the Tao will be suppressed by the Earth and the Mountain!"

In an instant, the entire sea of ​​consciousness roared, and countless mountain shadows emerged from the void, pressing towards Li Mu's soul with a terrifying power that could suppress the soul for eternity!

"Hmph! A mere remnant dares to show off his power?" Li Mu sneered, clasped his hands together, and the chaotic soul appeared, pointing with his finger.

"Star God's finger!"

The Chaos Spirit soared into the sky and transformed into a giant finger shadow, colliding with the suppressing mountain and easily resisting the opponent's impact. However, Xiao Wa's sea of ​​consciousness shook violently and he roared in pain.

Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed coldly: "Since you don't want to talk nicely, don't blame me for using force!"

Li Mu suddenly activated the Chaos Soul, formed seals with his hands, and whispered, "Chaos Soul Sealing!"

In an instant, countless chaotic auras emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness, interweaving into a huge net that covered the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire sacred mountain along with the will of Taoist Master Chihong. Under the suppression of the chaotic divine pattern, the vast phantom of the mountain began to crumble inch by inch.

"Wait a minute, Daoist friend!" Daoist Lord Chi Hong's will finally changed, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "You actually cultivated the Great Dao of Chaos?"

Li Mu remained unmoved. His Chaos Soul continued to activate the Soul Sealing Formation and said coldly, "Are you willing to talk nicely now?"

The shadow of Daojun Chihong gradually shrank under the suppression of the Chaos Sealing Spirit Array, and finally turned into a human-shaped light shadow. He smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Since I have encountered a practitioner of the Chaos Avenue, he will naturally not spy on my inheritance. I admit defeat. What do you want to ask?"

Li Mu then relaxed his restraint a little and said in a deep voice: "First, why did you choose my partner as the successor? Second, what is the real secret of the "Emperor of the Earth and the Mountain"? "

The will of Chihong Daojun was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know what 'Emperor of the Earth' is?"

Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, Daoist Lord Chi Hong continued: "The Emperor of the Earth should embrace everything and carry all living beings. Although pure blood is strong, it has lost the way of tolerance. The inheritor has several earth elemental bloodlines, just like the earth accommodating water and fire, and is the best candidate to practice this scripture."

Li Mu's eyes gleamed: "So this is the "Emperor of the Earth, the Mountain-Suppressing Sutra"

"That's right." Daoist Lord Chi Hong nodded, "The key to this sutra is not 'suppression', but 'tolerance'. Using the body as a furnace to smelt all the meridians, what is ultimately achieved is not the tyranny of suppressing the world, but the kingly way of embracing all things."

As he spoke, Daoist Lord Chi Hong suddenly looked at Xiao Wa's painful soul and sighed, "This child has always understood the wrong direction. He always wants to suppress the earth veins by force, but he doesn't know how to guide the fusion. He has no such will, so he can't suddenly realize the essence. Now that you have entered my way, you should know the responsibility of the Emperor of the Earth - to suppress the mountains and rivers, stabilize the earth veins, and bear the weight of thousands of mountains, so that you can achieve immortality."

Li Mu's consciousness suddenly condensed into a Taoist shadow in his sea of ​​consciousness, and he bowed solemnly to the remnant of Chi Hong Daojun: "I, the junior, dare to borrow the full copy of "Emperor of the Earth to Suppress the Mountain Sutra" for you to read."

The shadow of Chi Hong Daojun looked at Li Mu's soul and said in surprise: "A practitioner of the Chaos Great Dao is actually interested in the Earthly Elementary Dao?"

"There are three thousand ways to practice Taoism, but they all lead to the same destination."

The chaotic energy flowed from Li Mu's fingertips, and nine layers of mountain shadows evolved in the void. "Senior, please look--"

The chaotic energy split into two streams. One stream condensed into a black jade dragon that soared into the sky, with the earth's energy surging as its dragon whiskers waved. The other stream turned into an iron-armored rock lizard that crawled on the ground, with dark yellow spiritual liquid oozing out of its cracked carapace. The two streams intertwined and collided among the nine mountains, carving deep Taoist patterns on the mountain.

Daoist Lord Chi Hong's spiritual light stagnated, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is this... the innate Dao mark of the evolution of the earth veins?"

"That's right." Li Mu pressed his hands together and said, "I just read Xiao Wa's sea of ​​consciousness inheritance and have glimpsed 30% of the true meaning of the sutra. If you want to completely resolve the blood shackles in his body, you need to see the whole book to deduce the destiny. I hope you don't mind, senior."

“Well!” Daoist Master Chi Hong sighed, and his shadow suddenly burst into a thousand-foot-high glow: “I have been in meditation for ten thousand years, and today I have met a soulmate, so I will make an exception!”

In an instant, the entire sacred mountain collapsed, turning into countless golden seal characters floating in the void. Each character was as heavy as a thousand pounds, containing the terrifying power to suppress the earth veins. Li Mu looked intently, and saw that the first twelve words were particularly eye-catching: "The origin of the earth is boundless, the mountain carries the sky; the great virtue carries all things, and all spirits return to the source."

……

Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his chaotic soul unconsciously pinched the Dao formula.

From a chaotic perspective, a completely different trajectory is revealed - the mountains are not confinements, but the nodes where billions of earth veins converge; suppression is not repression, but using the power of the earth to sort out the spiritual hub.

"So that's how it is!" Li Mu suddenly laughed out loud, and his chaotic soul burst out with unprecedented light, evolving into seventy-two miniature mountains. Three thousand earth veins extended from the bottom of the mountains, connecting with the chaotic energy in the void...

Daoist Lord Chi Hong's regrets fluctuated violently: "You actually integrated the Dao rhyme of the Emperor of Earth into the Great Chaos Avenue?"

"The so-called Zhenyue Chengtian." Li Mu stretched out his hand to hold up a chaotic mountain. Inside the mountain, the Dao patterns of the black jade dragon and the iron-armored rock lizard were clearly visible blending. "It's just the original earth power generated by the collision of the clear air and the turbid air when the chaos was first separated. The most exquisite part of this "Emperor of the Earth Zhenyue Sutra" is the four words "All spirits return to the source" -"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu suddenly put his fingers together to form a sword, and the evolving chaotic world exploded, transforming into countless dark yellow earth energy.

"This is not just a simple earth-based technique, it is clearly the supreme scripture that points directly to the Earthly Element Avenue!"

Li Mu suddenly turned to Xiao Wa's curled up soul and said in a loud voice, "Xiao Wa, watch out! The blood in your body is not a shackle, but a gift from heaven!"

As he spoke, Li Mu evolved chaos with his hands and took all the dark yellow earth energy into his palms. Those words as heavy as mountains began to soften and flow in the chaotic energy, gradually turning into two intertwined rivers of Tao - one with a black jade luster, as agile as a leaping dragon; the other with a dark yellow color, as thick as the earth's afterbirth.

"The dragon is for change, and the rock lizard is for stability." Li Mu's ten fingers were like shuttles, weaving the two long rivers of Taoism into warp and weft, and continued to introduce: "The true meaning of "Emperor of the Earth's Mountain-Suppressing Sutra" is to respond to all changes with constancy!"

Chi Hong Daojun's regret was violently shaken, and he found that Li Mu was deconstructing the origin of the "Emperor of the Earth Zhenyue Sutra"
Li Mu did not answer, but suddenly injected the reorganized Dao into the little soul, and saw that the amber vertical pupil suddenly bloomed with nine colors of light, and the black jade scales on the body surface showed mountain and river patterns, and the originally conflicting blood power began to resonate harmoniously.

"Master, I saw it!" Xiao Wa's spirit raised his head and roared, "The earth veins are like dragons, and the mountains are bones. It turns out that I have to become the one who carries all things."

"The foundation of the Emperor of Earth." Li Mu smiled and continued, turning to look at the Chihong Daojun who was about to disappear, "Senior, are you satisfied with this performance?"

The Taoist's regrets had faded like smoke, but he laughed heartily: "Wonderful! Using chaos to derive the essence of the earth, and turning shackles into the foundation of the Tao. My friend's understanding is even better than mine in the past!"

Before he finished speaking, the last bit of spiritual light suddenly exploded and transformed into 360 earth vein talismans that merged into Xiao Wa's sea of ​​consciousness. Xiao Wa's whole body trembled violently, his eyes closed, and he fell into enlightenment.

Xue'er, Xiao Jin, Chilian Fire Phoenix and Qingyue Dragon who noticed this scene all looked sideways and their eyes couldn't help but look at Li Mu.

Just now they felt the conversation between Li Mu and Xiao Wa, as well as their communication of spiritual thoughts, and Li Mu suddenly used the Soul Control Seal on Xiao Wa. Now Xiao Wa suddenly had an epiphany, and he used all his strength to exercise his energy. His aura suddenly became heavy, and the earth was shaking slightly.

Xiao Jin narrowed his golden eyes and stared at the mountain patterns appearing on Xiao Wa's body, as if thinking about something.

"Hey, the power of the earth veins is gathering like crazy, is Xiao Wa about to break through?" Xue'er looked at Li Mu and asked in surprise: "Brother Li, what did you do to Xiao Wa?"

"Xiao Wa is trying to comprehend the true meaning of the 'Emperor of Earth's Sutra of Suppressing the Mountain'. We should not disturb him." Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it, summoning a formation device, then activated it to cover Xiao Wa and isolate him from outside interference.

"Emperor Earth Mountain Suppression Sutra!"

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what he meant. (End of this chapter)
