Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu took in the shock, enlightenment, confusion and even soul-devouring collapse of the powerful men, as well as the different reactions of the demons.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the trace of "self-sourced meaning" slowly dissipated in his palm, just like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into a deep pool that eventually calmed down, leaving an indelible mark in the depths of everyone's heart.

Li Mu looked around at the crowd, seeing faces that were either enlightened, struggling, doubtful, or lost in unprecedented thought.

"My fellow Taoists, I have finished explaining today the secrets of 'Self-origin' and 'Tao Realm'. The abyss of the Tao cannot be fully described in words, nor can it be achieved overnight. It requires a transformation of the mind and a reconstruction of the Tao foundation. In the cage of despair, ignite the inextinguishable fire of the heart that comes from 'self'!"

Li Mu's eyes swept across the fire consciousness nurtured in the body of the Burning Sky Immortal Venerable, passed by the buzzing sword of creation in the sheath of the Taixuan Sword Venerable, and stopped on the warm heart lamp of the Mingxin Saint Monk. In the end, he did not ignore the collapse of the Soul-Devouring Demon God and the confusion of the Blood Hell Demon God.

"Of course, time waits for no one!"

Li Mu suddenly changed his tone and said solemnly: "The cancer of the treacherous path has never stopped infecting! The seal of the Demonic Abyss is just a temporary blockage of the thinnest tip of its straw that probes into the 'dead leaves' of this world. If we allow its will to accumulate and penetrate in the seal, and wait for it to grow stronger, one day, this seal will be useless, and this world will completely become the nourishment of the 'cancer', all spirits will be destroyed, and the path of the Tao will be cut off forever!"

"Fellow Daoist Li!" Xingqiong Patriarch was slightly startled and asked with concern: "What do you think? Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

"That's right!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Sitting and waiting to die is not the way of our generation! Passive defense will eventually come to an end! If we want to have a chance of survival, we have to take the initiative to attack, cut off its claws that have reached into this world, weaken its will, and buy us that... time to break the cage!"

Li Mu's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at the direction of the Demon Abyss Seal deep in the distant star field. His voice resounded through the void like a declaration: "Three hundred years later! I will personally open the Demon Abyss Seal!"

"what?!"

The shadow of the Eternal Night Demon God fluctuated violently, and he cried out in shock: "Open the seal of the Demon Abyss? This is tantamount to destroying one's own future!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is too dangerous!" The Bone Emperor Demon God's dark fire flashed quickly, and his white bone body made a crackling sound. "Once the seal is opened, the will of the evil way will be like a flood..."

"It's not about letting go completely!"

Li Mu interrupted him, his eyes flashing with determination and wisdom: "Instead, I will use the Chaos Treasure House as the core and my newly realized 'self-source' prototype as a guide to open a controllable 'crack' on the seal! Just like chiseling a controllable flood discharge hole on a dam!"

Li Mu looked around at everyone and said without question: "At that time, I need to go deep into the rift and directly attack the core node of its will entrenched in the depths of the Demon Abyss, and eradicate it! At the very least, I have to severely damage its foundation in this world!"

"This trip is a life-or-death struggle! Although the will of the Guidao has been weakened by the seal, its backlash is definitely not something that ordinary extreme Dao can resist! I need strength! I need enough strength to open up a battlefield in the chaotic demon abyss and resist its crazy counterattack! I need enough strength to give it a fatal blow when I lock onto its core node!"

Li Mu's gaze was like substance, sweeping over all the powerful masters and demon gods present one by one and continuing: "My fellow Taoists, whether you believe or doubt, understand or are confused at this moment, if you still have a trace of protection for the creatures of this world in your heart, and an undying attachment to your own path..."

"Three hundred years later! Before the Demon Abyss is sealed! I, Li, will be waiting for you fellow Taoists at the Chaos Sealing Array to fight together!"

"This battle is not for hegemony, nor for personal revenge! It is only to cut off the shackles, for ourselves, for this world of 'dead leaves', to fight for a chance to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, to see the vast branches outside the cage! Fight for a future... of planting the Tao from the source!"

After he finished speaking, Li Mu said no more. He nodded slightly to the powerful men who had different expressions and huge waves in their hearts, as a farewell.

There was a "buzz" sound.

Li Mu waved his hand, and a slowly rotating vortex of chaos formed silently in front of him. He stepped into it, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by the chaos and disappeared completely.

The chaotic vortex quickly closed and the star field returned to silence.

Only Li Mu's declaration, "Three hundred years later, before the Demon Abyss is sealed, let's go to this battle together!" was like the sound of a huge bell, repeatedly vibrating and echoing in the depths of the souls of every strong man.

The Dao fire in the eyes of Burning Heaven Immortal Venerable was restrained, condensing into a burning core. He stared at the direction where Li Mu disappeared, and his voice was burning and low:

"Hmph! What a 'seed of the Tao'! Three hundred years... I want to see if there are really the vast branches you mentioned beyond these dead leaves! Count me in for this battle!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly twisted and turned into a blazing golden crow! With a long cry, the golden crow tore through the dark star field, turned into a dazzling stream of light that burned the void, and rushed straight to the blazing star field in the east, disappearing in an instant!

Taixuan Sword Master's silent face suddenly broke into laughter:

"Cut the shackles, break the cage... This sword must be unsheathed! Everyone, see you in the Demonic Abyss in three hundred years!"

The clear and sharp sword sound suddenly rose! Man and sword became one, a pure and extreme sword light split the space and shot straight into the star field in the northwest. The sharp sword intent lingered for a long time!

The holy monk Mingxin put his hands together and chanted:

"Amitabha. Li Daoyou's great wish is also an opportunity for all living beings to be liberated. The dead leaves contain life, and I will do my best to help you break the cocoon."

Golden lotus blossomed under his feet, enveloped in Buddha's light, and he took a step into the void, like ripples melting into water, gradually walking away towards the peaceful star field in the southwest, leaving only a faint sandalwood scent.

The Bone Demon God's eyes flashed with dark fire, and his bony hands creaked:
"Hehehe... Li Mu! You are so arrogant! Breaking free from the cage? I want to see what you can do to break the shackles! Three hundred years... I'll wait for you to prove it!"

The huge bone body stomped its feet suddenly, and the void shattered! The monstrous demonic energy wrapped in the cold bone fire, like a meteorite falling into the abyss, smashed into the dark crack below, and the crack closed instantly!
The blood sea around the Blood Hell Demon God stirred up a raging wave, his scarlet eyes were fierce and resolute, and his voice was like a bloody roar: "Not for personal revenge? Ridiculous! But... if you can really get a glimpse of the 'World Tree', fight for true freedom! Blood Hell... will go crazy with you! Three hundred years later, in front of the Demon Abyss, I want to witness it with my own eyes!"

The roar shook the sky, and the Blood Hell Devil exploded, turning into an endless, roiling sea of ​​​​blood! The bloody wind and resentment swept over, like a blood-colored torrent, pouring back into the southeastern Blood Evil Star Region, disappearing without a trace!

The demonic energy around the Black Demon God first froze the void, then exploded and boiled: "Humph! Dead Leaf World? Cage? What do you know? Three hundred years... is enough for me to find out! If what you said is true... Humph!"

After saying this, the Black Demon God merged into the starry sky and disappeared. The figure of the Eternal Night Demon God seemed to belong to the darkness, and now it was completely merged, with only two points of starlight flickering in his eyes:
"Break out of the cocoon and be reborn... and peek outside the cage? Three hundred years... I will think about where this ripple will lead..."

The voice faded, and the figure of the Eternal Night Demon was like ink entering water, silently dissolving and diluting. The starlight dimmed and finally returned to nothingness, leaving behind only a deeper dark realm that swallowed everything, with an indistinguishable direction.

Starry Sky Patriarch's expression changed, and he could see the birth and death of stars in his eyes: "The Chaos Sealing Array... The Demonic Abyss Seal... The Tao is from the source... Fellow Daoist Li, do you want to overturn this deadlock? After three hundred years... It's time for this old man to move..."

The Starry Sky Patriarch sighed and raised his hand, and pointed at the starry sky! Buzz! A brilliant star road was instantly paved under his feet, pointing directly to the gorgeous starry sea deep in the sky.

The Starry Sky Patriarch took a step forward, his figure blurred in the flow of starlight, as if he was walking on a long river of time, riding the stars and floating away, and the star road disappeared.

The Soul Devouring Demon God's face was filled with fear and hatred. He trembled and said, "Mad men! They are all crazy! Trying to break free from the cage? You are looking for death, don't bother me! ... Humph!"

The Soul-Devouring Demon was like a frightened bird. His figure trembled violently and turned into thousands of twisted and shrieking ghosts. He disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a trace of chilling palpitations.

The dead leaves at the tip of the Green Emperor's finger turned into flying ash, and his eyes penetrated time and space: "Dead leaves... new buds... branches... Fellow Daoist Li, is that the faint hope of life that you see? Three hundred years... I hope that your 'seed' will bring about change..."

The Green Emperor sighed and flicked his sleeves lightly into the air. A huge green leaf, emerald green and full of vitality, emerged and instantly turned into an ancient green boat.

The Green Emperor floated down at the bow of the boat, and the Green Boat moved without wind, rolling over the desolate and silent void, spreading ripples of vitality, and sailing leisurely to the edge of the desolate and silent star field in the west, blending into the background in a blink of an eye, leaving only a wisp of freshness.

Three hundred years!
What seems long to mortals is but a blink of an eye to these eternal beings.

But these three hundred years are destined to be the most dangerous, most torturous, and most decision-making three hundred years in their journey!

Is it to be trapped in a cage, waiting to be eaten by cancer?

Or will he burn his boats and follow Li Mu, heading to the depths of the Demonic Abyss, to strike at the evil will - and swing the sword to cut off the shackles?
All will be revealed in time.

Another remote, silent and dim star field.

A chaotic vortex opened silently, and the next moment, it closed.

The next moment, in the depths of a dead and unfamiliar star field, the space rippled like water waves, and Li Mu's figure stepped out of the whirlpool, as if walking from a painting into reality.

After refining the origin of the strange way, Li Mu got this great opportunity and directly crossed the extreme realm and entered the seed realm that he had comprehended on his own.

However, the seed of Tao has already been planted, and making it take root and sprout is as difficult as creating the world and rebuilding a new area.

However, Li Mu also reached an inhuman level with this cultivation.

Looking around, there was eternal coldness and darkness covering the entire area. Broken star debris were suspended like reefs, and the thin nebula was glowing a sickly dark purple, lifeless.

This place is far away from the main star field of the spiritual world, the laws are chaotic, and even the starlight is stingy and distorted.

Li Mu stood quietly in the air, his black robe fluttering without wind, and slowly closed his eyes.

boom--!
A powerful and yet extremely pure and condensed divine thought, like an invisible cosmic storm, exploded with him as the center! This divine thought was not a brutal sweep, but a unique "self-sourced" rhythm, like billions of dust particles with self-awareness, accurately and efficiently infiltrating, exploring, and identifying in all directions!
Wherever the divine thoughts passed: the cold meteorites were instantly pierced, revealing every detail of their inner core; the strange inert energy lurking in the dark purple nebula was ruthlessly rejected and filtered.

Deep in the wreckage of the stars, a faint ancient Dao rhyme that was almost annihilated was keenly hooked up, and then crushed by Li Mu's will - too inferior! Not qualified!
The divine consciousness was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing through several layers of space folds and exploring those hidden dimensional cracks!
Li Mu is searching for the spiritual object that inherits the Tao!
To refine a supreme Dao weapon that can penetrate deep into the Demonic Abyss and directly attack the core of the will of the treacherous Dao, ordinary natural treasures and scrap iron are just that! Only the peerless treasures that contain fragments of the origin of the universe and can carry and amplify his "self-source intention" are qualified to become the basis of the sharp blade in his hand that can cut through all laws!
Li Mu's spiritual thoughts were like a net, covering the distance of billions of stars.

Time seemed to have frozen in this dead star region. Only the invisible web of divine thoughts was weaving and exploring persistently in the cold darkness.

suddenly!

Li Mu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a gleam of light pierced through the darkness like a real sword, locking onto an inconspicuous corner of a distant star field - deep in a seemingly ordinary, slowly rotating vortex of stardust!

The divine thought gave back a faint, yet pure and extremely tenacious ancient Dao rhythm that had survived countless disasters! It was like a peerless pearl sleeping in an endless quagmire, finally awakened and resonated by his unique "self-source intention"!
"found it!"

A cold light flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and his figure turned into a ghostly shadow. He ignored the distance in space and the violent turbulence of laws, and took a step towards the stardust vortex!
The death storm roared and snarled, the broken stars were like knives, and the turbulence in space was like the bites of millions of poisonous snakes. The rhythmic light of "self-source" on Li Mu's body flowed, and wherever it passed, the storm was evacuated and the turbulence slid away, like splitting waves!

His gaze penetrated the barrier of destruction and fixed firmly on the core of the vortex.

hum...

There was no expected divine light, no precious aura rising into the sky!
There, there was only a faint, almost transparent "pulsation"! It was invisible and intangible, as if it was just a faint heartbeat of this chaotic space itself.

However, it is this "pulsation" that is so weak that it is almost imperceptible that exudes the ancient Taoist charm that has withstood all calamities and is pure and tenacious to the extreme!
This "pulsation" is not a dead thing. It contracts and expands extremely slowly at some mysterious frequency. Every contraction is like a cosmic millstone, silently stripping, crushing, and completely annihilating the violent stardust fragments, chaotic laws, and even thin dark energy around it, turning them into the most original "nothingness"; every expansion, it seems that in this absolute "nothingness", a trace of indescribable "foundation of order" that is enough to determine the fate of the universe is reborn!
It is the "heart" of this chaotic vortex! Taking itself as the origin, it constantly strips away impurities in destruction and anchors order in nothingness! This terrifying characteristic of stripping away all things and anchoring the root is exactly the treasure of the Tao that Li Mu is looking for.

"Void Source Core!"

Li Mu's eyes flashed with brilliance. This thing was a wonder of heaven and earth - a "point of order" that could only be born by chance at the core of extreme chaos and energy collision, in absolute "nothingness"!
It contains the ninth-order Dao source, stripping away all external illusions and pointing directly to the supreme Dao principle of the origin of "emptiness" and "the root of order"! This is the top-level core divine object for refining Dao tools that carry the "meaning of the source" and break all laws!
Just when Li Mu's mind was about to touch the invisible pulse, something strange happened! (End of this chapter)
