Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu's words were like a spark thrown into the solidified despair, instantly igniting a prairie fire. All the extreme strong men focused their eyes on him with the last ray of hope.

“Lure it out? Cut off its source?” The Blood Hell Demon God’s bloodshot pupils shrank, and the churning sea of ​​blood under his feet stagnated. He stared at Li Mu intently, his voice hoarse with a hint of disbelief: “Boy, do you know how cunning that ghost thing is? Not even the star chains of the old ghost Xingqiong can restrain it! To lure it out, the price may be to send in one or even several of us!”

“Are you sure... are you sure there is a way to collect its origin? Rather than just repel or weaken it?” The Blood Hell Demon stared at Li Mu, emphasizing the word "collect", which was even more incredible than simple destruction or sealing.

The ghost fire on the bone throne of the Bone Emperor Demon God jumped violently, and the empty eye sockets seemed to see through Li Mu: "Take it? This thing is a collection of twisted wills, invisible and intangible, corroding everything! The Chaos Avenue is indeed mysterious, but how are you going to take a polluted star field, a desolate will... into your pocket?"

"My friend, this matter is of great importance and cannot tolerate any lies!" The Bone Emperor Demon God stared at Li Mu, his questioning was sharp and direct. This was a matter of life and death and could not tolerate any luck.

The holy monk Mingxin put his hands together, and the Buddha's light flowed with unprecedented solemnity: "Amitabha. Donor Li, it's not that I don't believe it, but the strangeness of the strange tree is beyond common sense. What kind of method is the 'collection' you mentioned? Is there any precedent, or how sure you are?"

The question asked by the holy monk Mingxin represents the doubts in everyone's mind - this sounds too far-fetched.

Li Mu faced these gazes that were enough to crush the galaxy, but his eyes were unusually calm, as if a deep pool was calm without any ripples.

"Li Mu is well aware of the doubts of the seniors. The way of chaos encompasses everything and is also the destination of all ways. No matter how strange the form of this strange tree's will is, its essence is a distorted, desolate, and corrosive 'will to exist'. It corrodes everything, assimilates everything, and strengthens itself. It seems to have no solution." Li Mu smiled confidently.

Li Mu paused, then stretched out his hand to summon the Chaos Dao Domain. The chaotic energy around him flowed silently, and a vast, ancient aura that seemed to encompass everything and transcend everything was faintly revealed: "But chaos can also be encompassed, can also be dissolved, and can also... return to the abyss! My Chaos Dao has already touched upon a trace of the true meaning of 'All Daos Return to the Abyss'."

"It is not to disperse it, nor to seal it. Instead, at the moment when its will core is lured out and is most closely connected with the star field it has assimilated, I will use the power of Chaos Return to Abyss to forcibly 'strip off' and 'contain' its existence and incorporate it into my Chaos Sea! Just like throwing a drop of dirty ink into the ocean of chaos, the 'traces' of its existence will be assimilated and decomposed by the chaos, and finally... erase its independent will and restore it to the most primitive source of chaos!"

Li Mu swept his eyes over everyone and said firmly: "I have used this method in the desperate land of chaos, where I defeated the strong with the weak and collected a ray of the 'Void Annihilation Will' that was close to extinction. Although it is extremely dangerous, it does have its way! Today, although the will of the strange tree is strong, its essence is still within the tolerance of chaos! This is a strategy to cut off the root of the problem! However, I need the help of all the seniors, especially..."

At this point, Li Mu looked at the Green Emperor and said, "We need a bait that is 'delicious' enough to arouse his deepest greed. When he is 'devouring' the most oblivious, then it is the right time to strike! This is the only feasible method, and also... the chance to break the deadlock!"

"Chaos returns to the abyss... collect the will... and transform it into the origin..." The Immortal Lord Burning Sky muttered to himself, and the flame of the Golden Crow Lamp in his palm seemed to sense the true meaning of some supreme law contained in Li Mu's words, and it actually resonated slightly, and the flame flickered even more fiercely.

Thinking of Li Mu's previous achievements in the Avenue of Chaos, those seemingly impossible miracles, it seems possible to achieve this goal, and the only thing he can do is to believe in him.

The old Xingqiong Patriarch's cloudy eyes burst into a gleam of light, staring at Li Mu: "Little friend Li, you... are you really confident that you can 'collect' it?"

"Seven or eight out of ten!" Li Mu said without hesitation, his eyes as bright as stars.

After these words were spoken, there was a brief silence, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Good! If we have 60% chance of success, we can give it a try, let alone 80% or 90%!" The Starry Sky Patriarch cheered happily.

“Hehehe…” The Soul Devouring Demon God suddenly let out a sharp laugh and looked at Li Mu in surprise, with a strange light flashing in his scarlet eyes: “Great! What a great Chaos Return! Boy, you are brave and crazy enough! I believe you this time! If you can really succeed, you will be the first to achieve success in this battle!”

"Amitabha." The holy monk Mingxin chanted the Buddha's name for a long time, and the Buddha's light around him seemed to be more solid. "Since the donor has such a stunning method and past evidence, I am willing to lend a helping hand with the Buddha's heart!"

The Blood Hell Demon God stared at Li Mu for three full breaths. The churning sea of ​​blood under his feet suddenly shrank and turned into sticky blood plasma surrounding his body. He grinned, revealing his sharp white fangs, and praised: "Good! Boy, remember your words! If it doesn't work, I will be the first to tear you apart! If it works... hehe, I owe you a life!"

The Bone Emperor Demon God knocked his bony knuckles heavily on the armrest of the throne, making a sound of metal clashing: "...Yes! My skeleton domain can isolate you from some of the aftermath of the erosion!"

The deep darkness that the Eternal Night Demon God transformed into slightly fluctuated, and a deep voice sounded with a sense of determination: "The Eternal Night can conceal your form, protecting the bait, and also... can provide you with a split second to make your final move."

The Immortal Lord Fen Tian took a deep breath, and the flame of the Golden Crow Lamp in his palm shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark starry sky: "I will set up the Burning Void Refining Realm! Boy, don't let us down, and... don't let down our old friend the Green Emperor!"

Everyone's eyes finally fell on Qingdi. He was the core of the plan and the most crucial "bait"!
The Green Emperor faced everyone's gazes without any fear on his face, instead revealing a carefree smile. The green light around him was unprecedentedly pure and majestic, and the seventy-two leaves surrounded him like emerald stars, emitting the origin of the great way that nurtured endless life.

The Green Emperor looked at Li Mu, his eyes full of trust and entrustment: "My dear friend Li Mu, go ahead and do it! Today, this old man's Yi Wood Essence will be the bait to catch the World-Destroying Demon Whale! Even if there are countless disasters, I will not regret it!"

"My dear seniors..." A warm feeling and a heavy sense of responsibility surged in Li Mu's heart. He clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to your trust!" Without more words, the decision had been made and the trust had been placed!

“Take action!” The Eternal Night Demon’s low voice sounded like an order.

"Eternal night, cover!" The deep darkness gathered in an instant, completely enveloping the Green Emperor and the majestic Yi wood's original vitality like the "heart of the Jianmu tree", isolating the inside and the outside.

“Burning Void Refining World, open!” The Immortal Lord Burning Sky shouted, and nine golden crow phantoms carrying the Burning True Flame intertwined into a huge golden fire net, which fell down with a loud bang, forcibly opening up a scorching "vacuum" zone in the sea of ​​​​strange fog, as if opening up a seemingly fragile and breakable passage for the "bait" in the darkness.

"The turbid air in the sea of ​​blood, lead it!" The Blood Hell Demon grinned grimly. A long, filthy and sticky river of blood wrapped around the eternal night, emitting a strange and deadly mixed breath.

"The Zhoutian stars lead, and they will bury themselves!" The Starry Sky Patriarch raised his spirits, and countless fine chains of starlight merged silently into the space around the core area.

The Bone Emperor's skeleton domain expanded eerily, the Soul-Devouring Soul Banner glowed dimly, the Bright Heart Buddha Wheel illuminated and stabilized the mind, and the Taixuan Sword Intent was ready to go... All the strong men performed their duties, and their strength was restrained to the peak, like a taut bowstring, locking onto the core area wrapped in eternal night, golden flames and dirty blood!
Deathly silence fell again.

However, beneath this dead silence, a destructive storm is about to erupt! The deadly "bait" is already in place, waiting for the greedy hunter to fall into the trap.

The deadly "bait" is already in place. The powerful men standing in the three realms hold their breath and concentrate, restraining their strength to the extreme, like dormant prehistoric beasts, just waiting for the hunter hidden in the endless strange fog to show his fangs.

Dead silence is the last calm before the storm.

The silence didn't last long.

Om-!
An invisible, soul-shaking throbbing swept across the entire distorted star field without any warning! That was not a sound, but a wail at the level of law, a silent roar of billions of twisted and assimilated wills driven by the same cold will!
"Here it comes!" The low voice of the Eternal Night Demon sounded in everyone's heart, with unprecedented solemnity.

Almost at the same time!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The sticky gray-white mist that was isolated by the Burning Sky Immortal Venerable's "Fenxu Refining Realm" formation suddenly boiled like millions of angry sea snakes! They no longer just eroded the Golden Crow Fire Net, but condensed into countless gray-white giant vines as thick as mountains, with phantoms of painful faces on their surfaces, carrying a terrifying force that could crush the stars, and lashed fiercely on the golden flame barrier!

Chi Chi Chi -!
The Golden Crow Flame and the Trickster Vine collided and melted violently, making an extremely harsh corrosion sound! The flame barrier shook violently, and the light dimmed visibly with the naked eye! The face of the Burning Heaven Immortal Venerable turned pale, and the flame of the Golden Crow Lamp in his palm swayed wildly. He groaned, and the immortal energy in his body surged, forcibly stabilizing the formation, but a trace of golden red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!
"Hmph! A mere dead thing, how dare you be so rampant!" The Blood Hell Demon roared, and the filthy blood river surrounding the eternal darkness suddenly churned up and turned into countless hideous blood-colored demon shadows, roaring towards the strange vines that broke through the gaps in the fire net and drilled in!
The blood shadow collided with the strange vine, and the blood evil energy frantically corroded the gray-white substance, making a sizzling sound. However, the corroded parts of the strange vine fell off instantly, and more strange mists from the back immediately replenished it, as if it was endless! What was even more terrifying was that the blood shadow stained by the strange vine began to be stained with gray and white, and its movements became sluggish and stiff!

"Damn it! It's assimilating my blood spirit!" The Blood Hell Demon's blood pupils shrank violently, and the sea of ​​blood surged under his feet. He tried to retract the eroded blood shadow, but he felt a cold and sticky will eroding along the connection in the opposite direction, causing his soul to feel a sharp pain!
"Zhou Tian Xing Yin, lock!" Xingqiong Patriarch's hair and beard were all stretched out, and his dry fingers pointed quickly! Countless starlight chains that had been hidden in the void suddenly appeared, and like spirit snakes, they coiled around the strange vines that broke through the defense line, trying to fix them and crush them!
However, as soon as the starlight chain touched the strange vine, the bright silver light on the chain was eroded and dimmed by gray at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Starry Sky Patriarch was struck hard, and his already weak aura plummeted again! "It...it is polluting the power of the stars! I...can't hold on any longer!"

"Om Mani Padme Hum!" The Buddha wheel behind the holy monk Mingxin shone brightly, and the grand and solemn six-word mantra turned into a substantial golden Sanskrit torrent, blasting towards the surging strange fog! The Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the gray-white fog evaporated violently wherever it passed, and countless distorted faces and phantoms let out shrill and silent wails!
The Buddha's light seemed to work! But after only a few breaths, countless distorted, blurred gray-white Sanskrit phantoms emerged from the depths of the swirling strange fog, carrying a blasphemous and evil aura, which eroded the Buddha's light in reverse!

The face of the holy monk Mingxin darkened, and the light of the Buddha's wheel was actually suppressed by the gray-white Sanskrit and shrank slightly. The speed at which he recited the scriptures suddenly increased, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. It was obvious that he was under a huge mental shock!
"Cut!" A cold light flashed in Taixuan Sword Master's eyes, and his finger was like a sword. The Taixuan Ancient Sword made a clear sound that pierced the sky! An invisible sword energy that was condensed to the extreme instantly split into thousands, and chopped at the source core of each strange vine that broke through the defense line with incomparable precision!
The sword energy was extremely sharp, easily cutting off the strange vine. However, the broken strange vine did not disappear. More sticky gray-white substances instantly gushed out from the broken part, reconnecting and even splitting into more and thinner vines! There were also wisps of cold will counterattacking along with the sword energy, trying to erode the sword heart!

Taixuan Sword Master frowned, and the ancient sword trembled slightly, constantly shaking off the invading wills, but the frequency of the slashing obviously slowed down.

"Bone Domain·Bury!" The bone throne of the Bone Emperor Demon God exuded a monstrous deathly aura. The white skeleton domain suddenly expanded. Countless white bone spikes appeared out of thin air in the domain and stabbed fiercely at the strange vine!
The dead energy of the skeletons and the annihilation power of the strange tree collided violently and annihilated each other! But the number of strange vines was too large and endless. The edge of the skeleton field began to be stained with gray and white, making a tooth-grinding "crunching" sound! The ghost fire in the empty eye sockets of the Bone Emperor Demon God was jumping unsteadily, and the throne was shaking slightly.

"Ten Thousand Souls Devourer!" The Soul Devourer Demon God seized the opportunity and violently shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner! The gray and white lines on the banner surface squirmed wildly, and countless polluted but still ferocious resentful souls screamed and rushed out, pounced on the strange vine, and madly gnawed at its will!
However, while the resentful spirit was gnawing at the strange vine, its own grey-white lines were also deepening, becoming more frantic and violent, and even showing a tendency to retaliate against the Soul-Eating Demon!

“Bastard!” The Soul-Devouring Demon roared, forcibly suppressing the backlash of the Soul Banner. A trace of pain and madness flashed in his scarlet eyes.

The nine dark evil dragons controlled by the Dark Evil God rolled and charged in the strange fog, spewing dragon breath, freezing and corroding large areas of strange fog. However, fine gray and white lines began to crawl on the dark scales of the dark dragons, and their movements became stiff and slow, emitting painful dragon roars.

The battle instantly became fierce! Every powerful warrior tried his best to show his magical powers, fighting a desperate battle with the endless and omnipresent strange fog vines and the cold will contained in them!

However, the situation is not optimistic! (End of this chapter)
