Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Deep within the Blazing God Realm, the eternally undying source of the Molten Sea suddenly boiled.

At the core of the molten sea, the colossal being, formed from the laws of endless divine flames and whose body was comparable to a great world, opened its eyes. In its eyes were reflected the final scene of the illusory image collapsing and the bloodshed of the blazing sky, as well as the wheel that traversed the netherworld and reversed life and death.

"Humph!"

A deep, angry groan rolled out from the throat of the Flame God, causing the entire primordial molten sea to surge with scorching waves for billions of miles. Countless fire domains and heavens that depended on it trembled, all the suns dimmed, and the star fields swayed.

An ancient will swept out, carrying with it a raging inferno of fury for defying divine authority.

"Reincarnation... Chaos... How dare you do this!" A grand will tore through the void and descended directly upon the highest hall of the God Realm—the Palace of Ten Thousand Flames.

The entire palace was forged from eternal divine gold and world-burning glaze, suspended above the primordial molten sea. At this moment, the countless divine patterns on the palace walls flickered, bearing the wrath of the supreme being.

"Blazing sun, blazing fire, blazing ashes, pay homage!"

The decree of the Flame God resounded like thunder, echoing in the secluded place of the three great deities.

In the next instant, three figures radiating immense divine power, their Dao principles resonating with the primordial molten sea, tore through space and knelt respectfully in the main hall of the divine palace.

On the left, the Blazing Sun God is a burly figure, clad in crimson gold armor, with a resolute face and eyes like two miniature suns, radiating inner heat and possessing a scorching yet majestic aura, in charge of the conquests of the divine realm.

In the center, the Blazing Fire God's figure appears somewhat illusory, as if it were composed of flowing dark red lava. His face is blurred and uncertain, but his eyes are as deep as an abyss, exuding a strange aura that devours all fires. He is in charge of devouring and transforming divine flames.

To the right, the Blazing God was shrouded in a gray-white flame robe. His figure was withered, his face was cold and stern, and there was no light or heat around him. Only a deathly aura that could bring all things to silence and end the laws of nature remained. He held the power of divine punishment and destruction.

"My lord, please calm your anger!"

The three divine beings roared in unison, their divine souls trembling slightly under the wrath of the Flame God.

"The Netherworld Blood Realm, where ants steal reincarnation, destroy my phantom, and bury my divine generals, this grudge must be washed away with the blood of the realm!" The voice of the Flame God was icy cold, suppressing his boiling rage, and he said in a chilling tone, "However, the foundation of that realm is strange, and it controls life, death, and chaos. Although we can quell it with the power of our realm alone, the losses will be enormous, making it easy for other races to take advantage of it."

The Flame God's gaze swept over the three Divine Lords, finally settling on the Extinction Divine Lord: "Blazing Fire, you shall personally go to the Frost God Realm and the Thunder Punishment God Realm, carrying my Origin Flame Talisman, to meet with the Ice Skeleton Ruler and the Eternal Thunder God, and inform them that the Netherworld Blood Realm contains the secrets of reincarnation, and can control the birth and death of all living beings. If they can obtain it, they may be able to glimpse the realm of transcendence. Invite them to form the 'Three-Phase Divine Alliance' together, launch an attack on the Blood Realm, and share the spoils!"

"I will obey my lord's decree!" The Blazing Fire God bowed and accepted the order, his figure transforming into a wisp of gray flame, merging into the void, and disappearing from sight.

"Blazing sun, blazing embers!" the Flame God shouted again.

"Your subordinates are here!" the two deities replied solemnly.

"Assemble billions of Flame Gods! Unseal the 'World-Burning Ancient Ship,' awaken the slumbering Fire Ancestor Guardians. In this battle, I will ensure that the Netherworld Blood Realm is utterly desolate, and that the cycle of reincarnation is shattered!"

"Respect!"

The eyes of the Blazing God and the Blazing Sun God blazed with fierce fighting spirit. They responded in unison, their figures vanishing as they carried out the divine decree.

With the issuance of the supreme will, the entire Blazing God Realm, this massive war machine, began to operate with unprecedented efficiency. Divine light soared into the sky from the recruitment temples on countless floating continents, and hundreds of millions of Flame God Clan warriors awoke from their cultivation, donned armor and weapons, and converged into a surging torrent, rushing to the gathering star field.

Ancient warships slumbering deep within the star core were awakened. Their hulls far surpassed those of modern standard divine ships, and they were engraved with ancient and domineering divine runes, exuding an aura of vicissitude and terror. Some "Fire Ancestor Guards," formed entirely from the pure laws of fire, emerged from the depths of the Root Molten Sea. They took on various forms, some as fire giants, others as divine birds, and possessed the power to incinerate stars.

Billions of troops gathered, divine flames blazed across the sky, illuminating a large part of the universe in a crimson-gold hue. A chilling aura permeated the void, eliciting mournful cries from all directions.

……

Meanwhile, in the Frozen Realm, at the core of the Eternal Frozen Earth.

The figure of the Blazing Fire God emerged from a twisted gray flame, with ancient, unyielding ice beneath his feet, its chilling aura enough to freeze even immortal metal.

Ahead, a palace constructed entirely of crystal-clear ice crystals that exude extreme cold stands silently, its doors like the mouth of a giant beast, radiating a deathly stillness that devours all light and heat.

"Beneath the Flame God, Blazing Fire requests an audience with the Lord of the Ice Corpse Realm." Blazing Fire God's voice was exceptionally clear in the cold wind. With a flick of his finger, a crimson-gold flame containing the essence of the Flame God floated in the air, dispelling some of the surrounding chill.

Deep within the Ice Palace, two points of eerie blue light shone, like the eyes of a sleeping giant of the ice plains opening. A cold, desolate will, seemingly capable of freezing time and space, slowly swept over the God of Extinction.

"...The secret of reincarnation? The Flame God has certainly found a good excuse."

A cold, indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, resounded directly within the soul of the God of Extinction: "However, the expansion of chaos must indeed be contained. I, Ice Skeleton, hereby grant this alliance."

……

Thunder Punishment God Realm, Thousand Thunder Sea Eyes.

Billions of purple, gold, and black divine lightning bolts danced wildly like dragons and snakes, shattering the void.

The Blazing Fire God stood at the edge of the sea of ​​lightning, his gray-white flame robes keeping the falling lightning at bay, emitting a hissing sound.

"The meaning of the Flame God is surely already known to Lord Thunder God." The Blazing Fire God once again presented the Flame Talisman.

In the center of the sea of ​​thunder, a colossal figure formed from endless lightning emerged, wearing a crown of thunder and holding a scepter. Its eyes seemed to hold the scenes of the birth and death of all worlds and the descent of divine punishment.

"Hahahaha! What a secret of reincarnation! I am also very interested in that power that holds life and death!" The voice of the Eternal Thunder God was grand and domineering, echoing like thunder: "The Three-Phase Divine Alliance? Very well! Once I have assembled the Thunder Punishment Divine Army, I will join forces with you and together we will tread the Blood Realm!"

……

The Chaos Treasure Palace, deep within the Spirit Garden.

Li Mu sat cross-legged beneath the Chaos Dao Tree, his mind and spirit merging with the tree's origin. The various Dao Fruits on the branches rose and fell, especially the newly born Life and Death Dao Fruits, whose pure white and profound light flowed endlessly, faintly resonating with the entire Netherworld Blood Realm.

Suddenly, Li Mu's brow twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes. The chaotic energy in his eyes swirled, reflecting three distinct yet subtly connected, immense auras that caused the laws of the heavens to tremble. These auras were pressing down on the Netherworld Blood Realm from three directions. "Blazing flames, extreme cold, and thunder... the unification of the three realms is quite interesting."

Li Mu spoke in a low voice, his tone calm and without the slightest hint of surprise.

Li Mu had long anticipated that defeating the vanguard of the Blazing God Realm would inevitably trigger a stronger counterattack. However, the momentum of this alliance came faster than expected, and the scale of the forces was even more impressive.

Li Mu joined his fingers like a brush, using the principles of chaos as ink, and slowly outlined the void in front of him.

In an instant, countless intricate and complex Dao patterns emerged, intertwining to form three enormous Law diagrams—one flowing with crimson gold, endless in light and heat, containing the violence to incinerate all things; one deep and dark blue, chilling and radiating eternal stillness; and one with wildly dancing purple lightning and thunderous roar, demonstrating the majesty of judgment and ruling.

It is the manifestation of the core laws of the three divine realms of blazing fire, freezing ice, and thunder!

The Chaos Tree swayed gently, its branches and leaves rustling, its roots reaching into the void, drawing upon the laws and information from the three divine realms.

Li Mu immersed himself in the deduction, analyzing the structure, operating rules, and possible interactions and conflicts between these three powerful laws.

"The fury of fire, the stillness of ice, the rage of thunder... They are strong but lack flexibility. Although the three are combined, gaps still exist." Li Mu's eyes were deep as he lightly touched certain key nodes of the three law diagrams with his fingertips. Those nodes immediately rippled, revealing their imperceptible weaknesses and stagnation.

"Mingyue." Li Mu's thoughts stirred slightly, and he transmitted his voice directly to Mingyue, who was supervising the creation of a new type of puppet in the Wan Kui Tian Gong Hall.

“Master,” came the clear, cold reply from Mingyue immediately.

"The Three-Phase Divine Alliance is approaching, and its power encompasses the three elements of fire, ice, and lightning. Ordinary puppets can hardly withstand it. The Myriad Puppet Heavenly Craft Hall has suspended other affairs and devoted all its resources to developing the 'Yin-Yang Revolving Puppet'."

Li Mu transmitted to Mingyue's sea of ​​consciousness some of the characteristics and weaknesses of the Three-Phase Law that he had deduced, as well as a core blueprint for a puppet based on the Chaos Dao, integrating the two energies of life and death, and emphasizing balance and transformation.

"Yes!" Mingyue bowed and accepted the order, then withdrew and disappeared into the shadows.

Li Mu stood alone beneath the Chaos Dao Tree, his Dao aura resonating with the giant Chaos Tree rooted in the void. His eyes were slightly closed, and his divine sense, like an invisible tide, swept over the recently conquered Netherworld Blood Realm.

"melt."

With a thought, Li Mu sent out countless roots of the Chaos Dao Tree from the depths of the void, like living things or tendrils manifesting the laws, piercing through the boundary and deeply penetrating the core of the Netherworld Blood Realm.

At the same time, the illusory image of the Chaos Dao Tree behind Li Mu, which pierced through the void, suddenly solidified. Its billions of roots, like awakened dragons, emitted a deep hum and plunged into the depths of the endless void.

The roots were pointing towards the various realms that Li Mu had already brought under his control.

In the Golden Puppet Realm, the Myriad Machine Heavenly City roared incessantly. Deep within the earth, the ancient Geng Metal essence, accumulated over countless ages, was stirred by an invisible force, transforming into a surging torrent of platinum that rushed in along the roots of the Dao Tree. Its extreme sharpness added unparalleled killing power to the Dao Tree.

In the Xuan Yuan Jin Jie, the Jin Huo Refining Dao Tower shone brightly into the sky. The primordial Jin Hai, connected to the bottom of the tower, surged and boiled, where pure Annihilation Fire and Creation Flame intertwined, condensing into a dark red nectar that was continuously absorbed by the Dao Tree. The Fire Dao Fruits on the branches became increasingly blazing, their flames scorching.

In the Realm of Time Ruins, beneath the Tower of Time, the chaotic flow of time was forcibly straightened out, transforming into the most primal power of time, like a silver trickle flowing into the veins of the Dao Tree. The Dao Fruit of Time trembled slightly, its surface shimmering with iridescent light, as if bearing the secrets of countless ages.

In the Realm of Illusions, the power of thought within the City of Illusions surged like a tide. The pure spiritual essence and the Dao principles of illusion and reality were stirred by the roots of the Dao Tree, transforming into seven-colored rays of light that nourished the spiritual Dao Fruit, making it ever-changing and imbued with a profound Dao rhythm.

The remains of the ancient world of Eclipse Moon have collapsed, but the primordial energy of annihilation accumulated over millennia has not yet dissipated. At this moment, this pure power of "return to nothingness" is forcibly extracted by the Dao Tree, flowing like rivers into the sea, and merging into the newly born Dao Fruit of Annihilation, making its color even darker and deeper.

In the Netherworld Blood Realm, the Pool of Life and Death Reincarnation shimmered, the laws of life and death and the Dao of Reincarnation contained within it transformed into a black and white interwoven current of energy, surging into the Dao Tree. With this powerful support, the nascent Dao Fruit of Life and Death on the branch suddenly shone brightly, its white parts bursting with vitality, while its dark parts exuding a chilling aura of death, cycling endlessly until it gradually reached perfection.

The pure and turbid energies of the Yin and Yang realms rise, and the Taiji Dao Diagram manifests in the void, casting down the pure Yin and Yang origins, harmonizing the great power of all realms, making the foundation of the Chaos Dao Tree more and more stable, and the Dao rhythm is perfectly integrated.

……

The origins of all realms surged like rivers, endlessly flowing into the Chaos Tree.

The Dao Tree grew at a visible speed, its trunk becoming increasingly thick and strong, pushing open layers of void; its branches and leaves spread out, each seemingly bearing a world within it, covered with dense Dao patterns, mysterious and unfathomable. The vast power of the realm flowed back, washing over Li Mu's limbs and bones like a torrent.

Li Mu's body was surrounded by surging chaotic energy, his aura rising steadily. Under the infusion of this massive amount of primordial energy, the foundation of his Dao Realm was repeatedly tempered, becoming increasingly solid and profound.

A blazing, chaotic divine light shone between Li Mu's brows, as if it were the seeds of creation. The illusory image of the Dao tree behind him merged more and more deeply with his true form, seemingly about to become eternal.

……

The Netherworld City, the Hall of Ten Thousand Puppets.

The moon shone through her silver armor, covered in frost, and her golden eyes surged with a torrent of data. Upon receiving Li Mu's message, she dared not delay in the slightest and immediately gave the order: "Use all the stored divine materials to activate the 'Myriad Evolutions Divine Furnace.' All grandmaster-level craftsmen and array masters, follow me to deduce the core puppet pattern of the 'Yin-Yang Revolving Puppet'!"

Inside the hall, flames soared into the sky as countless rare divine metals and spiritual materials were thrown into the giant furnace. Mingyue personally took up her brush, using her divine sense to outline the chaotic blueprint transmitted by Li Mu, and combined it with her analysis of the three elements of blazing fire, freezing ice, and lightning, constantly adjusting the Dao pattern structure inside the puppet in the void.

“Using the bones of Geng metal as the framework, the heart of molten fire as the source, the network of time as the vein, the soul of illusion as the guide, and then using the foundation of the Netherworld Reincarnation to set its pivot, and the Yin and Yang energies to adjust its balance…” Mingyue murmured to herself, her fingertips dancing with flowing light, and one after another, the puppet embryos that were still in the process of being conceived began to exude a strange Daoist charm that was inclusive and endlessly rotating.

……

Rift Universe, core bridge.

Xiao Jingtian stood solemnly in his black armor, data flowing like a waterfall on the light screen before him. He had just finished receiving the battle damage reports and resource lists from various units, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Issue the order!" Xiao Jingtian's voice was resolute. "With the four realms aligned, all resources will be directed towards the Netherworld Blood Realm! The Golden Puppet Realm will prioritize supplying the Myriad Puppet Heavenly Craft Hall with the divine metal it needs; the Profound Abyss Ash Realm will accelerate the refining of 'Purifying World Ash Fire' and stockpile it as a strategic resource; the Time Ruins Realm will open part of the 'Time Secret Realm' to help meritorious soldiers break through; the Illusionary Spirit Realm will intensify its research on 'Mind Barrier' to resist attacks on the divine soul!"

"The Valley Master of Burning Heaven Valley, the Ancestor of the Sword Sect, the King of Sea Suppression... all the elites of the Immortal Dynasty, immediately enter the highest state of combat readiness, and practice the new changes of the 'Interdimensional Joint Defense Array,' focusing on the combined attack techniques of fire, ice, and lightning!"

"The Sky Patrol Guards are expanding their surveillance area to detect any unusual spatial fluctuations. Any creatures from outside our territory that approach must be reported immediately!"

Commands were issued one after another, and the entire Great Qian Immortal Dynasty sprang into action like a sophisticated war machine. Warships were inspected, formations were reinforced, cultivators trained, resources were allocated… A chilling aura permeated all realms, and everyone understood that a test far more severe than the Eclipse of the Moon or the Blood Sea was about to begin.
