Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu keenly noticed that the aura of the Extreme Wood Dao around the Green Emperor was still as vast as the sea, but there was a hint of disorder in the depths. It seemed that there was a very faint strange white power lurking in the body of the Green Emperor like a ulcer attached to the bone.

"Brother Dao, you..."

Li Mu's expression condensed slightly and he took a step forward.

The Green Emperor waved his hand, still smiling calmly: "It's okay, it's just some old illness. We haven't seen each other for many years, we should drink and chat happily."

Li Mu did not respond, but stared at the Green Emperor's left arm with a sharp gaze.

"Has the poison not been eliminated yet?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Green Emperor's smile gradually faded. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "I can't hide it from you."

At this time, Qing Lin also noticed something was wrong and looked at Qing Di anxiously: "Chief, didn't you say that the poison had been suppressed?"

The Green Emperor shook his head and said, "This poison is very strange. I have suppressed it with Daoist Ji Mu for many years and thought I had refined it. But I didn't expect it to suddenly backfire recently and has now invaded my soul."

Li Mu's heart sank. The Green Emperor was one of the most powerful beings in the fairy world. The poison that even he could not eradicate must be extremely terrifying.

"Brother, come with me back to my courtyard for a chat." Li Mu made a prompt decision, waved his sleeves and invited.

The Green Emperor looked at Li Mu in surprise and nodded happily: "Okay."

Soon, Qingdi collected the spirit boat and brought Qinglin to the Linggu courtyard where Li Mu lived in seclusion. There was a gurgling spring in the courtyard, spiritual mist lingering, and an ancient peach tree was in full bloom, exuding a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Li Mu invited the Green Emperor to sit down at the stone table and personally poured him a cup of spiritual tea. He said, "Brother Dao, hasn't the will of the strange world been sealed in the Demon Abyss? How come this strange poison suddenly reappeared?"

"I don't know either! However, one thing is certain, the death of Emperor Tianfeng is related to this!" The Green Emperor took the teacup, sighed, and gestured.

Hearing this, Li Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked in surprise: "Is the Celestial Phoenix Emperor dead?"

"That's right, her death occurred at almost the same time as the outbreak of the strange poison. That's why I made this guess!" The Green Emperor nodded solemnly.

Li Mu's fingertips trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup rippled. The Tianfeng Immortal Emperor was an immortal being, how could he suddenly fall?

Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and his gaze fell on the strange white aura on the left arm of the Green Emperor again.

"Brother, let me try." Li Mu put down the teacup, his tone calm but firm.

The Qing Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You?"

"I have been comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos for many years, and perhaps I can dissolve this poison." A wisp of chaotic aura appeared in Li Mu's palm, and thousands of laws seemed to be rising and falling in the gray air flow.

The Green Emperor stared at the chaotic aura, shook his head and chuckled: "This poison has been entangled with me for decades, and even the Extreme Wood Dao is difficult to shake. I appreciate your kindness."

"Clan leader," Qing Lin stepped forward and said earnestly, "Master, Uncle Master's Great Dao of Chaos encompasses everything, and perhaps it can really control the evil poison. Why not give it a try?"

The Green Emperor glanced at Qing Lin, his heart moved, and then turned to Li Mu, and said with emotion: "This poison is dangerous. If you are not careful, it will backfire on the people who rescue you. Why do you take the risk?"

Li Mu smiled calmly: "Brother Dao gave me the skills back then to help me break through the bottleneck of the Chaos Avenue. Today I am just trying my best to help."

"Well! Just do it!" The Green Emperor thought for a moment and nodded.

Li Mu said no more. He formed seals with his hands and a gray chaotic aura suddenly emerged from his body.

The aura was like smoke and fog, yet thick and substantial, forming a unique domain within three feet of his body. Within the domain, the five elements rotated, and yin and yang alternated, like a small world that had just been opened.

Li Mu said no more, and formed seals with his hands. A gray chaotic aura suddenly emerged from his body. The aura was like smoke and fog, but it was thick and solid, forming a unique domain within three feet of him. In the domain, the five elements rotated, and yin and yang alternated, like a small world that had just opened up.

The Green Emperor sat still, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that Li Mu's comprehension of the Great Dao of Chaos had reached such a level.

"Brother Dao, please relax."

Li Mu spoke in a low voice, and slowly pushed his hands forward. The Chaos Dao Realm spread like a tide, enveloping the Green Emperor.

He crossed his palms, and the law of the five elements emerged: the five original forces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth intertwined and rotated in the chaotic airflow, transforming into five divine wheels, which were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, forming a complete circulation system.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang energies separated from the depths of chaos and transformed into two Tai Chi phantoms, slowly rotating on the Five Elements Divine Wheel, forming an extremely mysterious balance.

The entire Dao domain space gradually took shape, as if it were an independent little world, containing all things in the world within and the laws of the Dao outside. The power of chaos surged like a tide, completely enveloping the area where the Green Emperor was.

The Green Emperor felt that he was in a strange state, and the surroundings were blurred, as if he was in the beginning of the universe, when nothing was formed and everything was in chaos. He was deeply shocked, this realm of Taoism was more profound and unfathomable than any other realm of laws he knew.

"What a great Chaos Realm." The Green Emperor secretly praised: "It can perfectly integrate the Five Elements and Yin and Yang to evolve the true foundation of reincarnation."

Li Mu remained silent, but his spiritual thoughts had already penetrated into the body of the Green Emperor. He explored along the meridians of his left arm and finally found a very secret white strange power deep in his soul.

That strange white power was extremely strange, as if it had no entity, yet it existed. It did not belong to the Five Elements, nor to Yin and Yang, and seemed to exist outside the laws of nature. It could neither be refined nor expelled, and could only continuously erode the foundation of the Green Emperor's soul.

With the help of the Chaos Dao Realm, Li Mu clearly "saw" the strange white power - it was like a poisonous snake, lurking deep in the Green Emperor's soul, entangled with the Ji Mu Dao.

"What a cunning thing." Li Mu was secretly shocked. This strange white power was not eroding arbitrarily, but was cleverly integrated into the extreme wood law, almost indistinguishable from it. No wonder the Green Emperor was so difficult to eradicate.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the Chaos Dao Realm began to change. In the gray atmosphere, the power of the five elements rotated endlessly. Gold gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to gold. The five elements gave birth to each other and restrained each other, forming a perfect cycle.

At the same time, the yin and yang energies circulate in the Dao Realm. There is yang in yin, and yin in yang. The yin and yang complement each other and evolve into infinite changes.

The strange white force seemed to sense the threat and began to counterattack frantically. It turned into countless filaments, trying to penetrate the blockade of the Chaos Dao Realm. But every time it touched the edge of the Dao Realm, it would be worn away by the power of the five elements and dissolved by the yin and yang energies.

"It works." Li Mu was delighted and increased his strength. The Chaos Dao Domain began to shrink, like an invisible big hand, slowly squeezing the space where Gui Bai's power could move.

Gui Bai's power was not to be outdone, and suddenly condensed into a sharp cone, fiercely stabbing towards a certain place in the Dao domain. That was the node where the five elements rotated, and the balance would be broken if not careful.

Li Mu was well prepared. He adjusted the structure of the Dao domain in a flash of his mind. The power of the five elements was instantly reorganized. The gold position turned into fire, and the water position turned into earth. The moment the strange white spike pierced in, it hit the solid barrier formed by the combination of fire and earth.

"laugh--"

With a slight sound, most of the strange white spike was melted away. The remaining strange force retreated in panic, only to find itself surrounded by a vortex formed by the yin and yang energies.

The Green Emperor frowned slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. The two forces clashed in his body, and even with his cultivation level, he felt pain. But he always kept his soul relaxed and let Li Mu do what he wanted.

Li Mu concentrated all his attention, controlling the Chaos Dao Realm to press forward step by step. He was no longer in a hurry to destroy the strange power, but like an experienced hunter, he gradually compressed its activity space and consumed its power.

However, the strange white power began to show unprecedented madness. It suddenly split into thousands of filaments, each of which twisted and squirmed like a living thing, and in an instant, it simulated the extreme wood Dao rhyme of the Green Emperor, and perfectly merged with the surrounding extreme wood Dao. When Li Mu's Chaos Dao Domain rolled over, these filaments dissipated like a mirage, and then re-condensed in another place.

"Can it mimic all kinds of things?" Li Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw those strange threads sometimes turned into blazing flames, sometimes condensed into mysterious heavy water, and even simulated the fluctuations of the chaotic Dao. Whenever the power of the Dao Realm came, it would turn into the same power and escape, just like a fish caught in a fishing net, always able to slip through the gaps in the mesh.

The Green Emperor suddenly groaned, and spider-web-like white lines appeared under the skin of his left arm. Those lines actually formed an ancient totem, and vaguely showed the ferocious pattern of a nine-headed giant python entwining the world.

"Not good!" Li Mu suddenly withdrew his Dao Domain, "It is devouring Brother Dao's lifespan!"

The teacup exploded on the stone table, and Qinglin was horrified to see that the master's black hair was turning frosty white at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even more terrifying was that the white hair glowed with a strange pearly luster under the moonlight, which was clearly a sign that the life span was being transformed into strange power.

"Uncle Master!" Qing Lin exclaimed, and the peach tree in the courtyard suddenly grew wildly. Countless roots broke out of the ground, wrapping the Qing Emperor layer by layer into a cocoon. But the next second, pure white flames ignited from the cocoon, and those thousand-year-old spiritual trees actually crystallized in the flames, turning into countless clear white crystals.

The crystal cocoon exploded, and when the Green Emperor stumbled out, his left eye had turned completely pale. He smiled bitterly and spread out his palm, and a ball of constantly changing white light appeared in his palm: "Do you understand now? It's not poison at all, but alive - an extension of the will of the strange world."

"Don't worry, brother. It's just struggling in its death throes. I have a way to take it down! Please cooperate with me! Since it can mimic all kinds of things, I will use all kinds of things to defeat it!" Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently.

Hearing this, the Green Emperor's expression slightly changed, and then he slowly nodded. He knew Li Mu's wisdom and the mystery of the Chaos Avenue. Although he had fallen into a desperate situation of backlash from the treacherous poison, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

"Okay." The Green Emperor looked at Li Mu and nodded, "I believe you."

Li Mu's eyes focused, his mind sank into the realm of chaos, he formed a seal with his hands again, and the gray power of chaos suddenly surged, sweeping across the world like a tide, completely shrouding the entire courtyard in an illusory state of chaos.

The five elements rotate, yin and yang intertwine, time and space flow, years rise and fall, cause and effect pull - at this moment, Li Mu shows the true art of evolving all things through the Avenue of Chaos!

"The five elements return to their origin, suppress them!" Li Mu shouted softly, and the Five Elements Divine Wheel reappeared. The five original forces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth intertwined and rotated, turning into a huge five-element chain that fell from the void and pointed directly at the constantly deforming white light.

"Boom!"

The five elements chain fell down with a bang, instantly sealing the strange power in mid-air. It struggled violently, its form constantly changing, sometimes like fire, sometimes like water, and even tried to simulate the fluctuations of the power of chaos in order to escape.

However, the power of the Five Elements is the foundation of all laws. It does not belong to any single law, but it can evolve all laws. No matter how it changes, the Five Elements can mutually restrain each other and firmly suppress it.

"Yin and Yang combine to seal!" Li Mu then activated the Yin and Yang Tai Chi phantom. The two black and white shadows intertwined into a wheel, slowly rotating and shedding endless light, further stabilizing the Five Elements chain and forming a complete closed system.

The strange poison made a sharp and piercing whine, as if it had sensed an unprecedented threat. Deep in its core, an ancient rune emerged faintly. It was the core mark of the will of the strange world, containing the original information of the law of the strange way.

“As expected…” Li Mu’s eyes turned cold: “It is alive. It is the fragment incarnation of the will of the strange world!”

"Since you are alive, let me use time to imprison you and use years to kill you." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, and as his palms crossed, the power of time and space slowly emerged.

In the Chaos Dao Realm, time began to distort and space gradually folded. The originally still courtyard seemed to be pulled into an independent time layer at this moment, and everything in the outside world was isolated.

"Time and space are the prison!" Li Mu gave an order, and outside of the five elements of yin and yang, the power of time and space condensed into an invisible cage, completely trapping the poison inside.

The strange creature twisted wildly, trying to break free, but every time it touched the edge of the cage, it would be bounced back by the power of time and space, as if it was trapped in an infinite reincarnation trap.

At the same time, the power of time quietly descended. Li Mu used the power of chaos as a guide to activate the power of the long river of time. Streams of time emerged from the void, turning into extremely sharp blades of time, slowly slashing towards the core of the evil poison.

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, cracks appeared on the surface of the strange poison, which was the erosion of its essence by the power of time. Each crack represented the stripping of a memory, a existence, and a power.

"Ah——" Guidu finally let out a painful roar, with unwillingness and fear in the voice, as if it had never encountered such thorough suppression before.

"You are not a poison, but a kind of 'consciousness'." Li Mu looked deep in his eyes and said, "But since you are a consciousness, you cannot escape the reckoning of cause and effect."

"The power of cause and effect, bind!" Li Mu clenched his hands, and the entire Chaos Dao Realm suddenly shook. The power of cause and effect spread out like a dragnet, blocking all possible escape routes of the poison.

The power of cause and effect is the most ruthless. It does not care about reason, but only about results. Once you fall into the chain of cause and effect, you will fall into the inevitability of fate. No matter how hard you struggle, you will eventually reach a destined ending.

The treacherous poison finally stopped struggling, its core light gradually dimmed, and its originally agile changes became slow. It seemed to have realized that it was about to meet its end.

"Now, it's time for you to be refined."

Li Mu's eyes became fierce, and the power of chaos suddenly erupted. The five supreme laws of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, time and space, years, and cause and effect converged into one, forming an unprecedented power of chaos refining.

"Chaos is born, all paths return to their origin!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, clasped his hands together, and the chaotic realm shrank. The rotation of the five elements of yin and yang accelerated, time and space folded and compressed, the power of time continued to erode, and the power of cause and effect completed its final conclusion.

At that moment, the core of the strange poison completely collapsed, and all the runes of the strange world shattered one by one, turning into pure energy and flowing into the chaotic realm.

Li Mu did not hesitate at all and immediately guided the energies into the cycle of chaotic power, reconciling its violence with the Five Elements, balancing its chaos with Yin and Yang, stabilizing its structure with time and space, erasing its remnants with the years, locking its essence with cause and effect, and reversing its strange source of power.

As time went by and the refining progressed, the power that originally belonged to the will of the strange world began to undergo a qualitative change, gradually transforming into pure chaotic power and merging into Li Mu's chaotic Dao domain. (End of this chapter)
