Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

After sending Sword Master Feng away, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Several elders returned to the palace to continue discussing sect affairs, dispatching troops and generals to investigate the sealed land in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars.

Li Mu stared at the jade slip in his hand, hesitating whether to accept this holy sword scripture.

Innate magical power - identifying all spirits, inheriting the sword scripture inheritance recorded in the jade slips, presented in detail in his eyes.

[Qingming Sword Sutra (Remnant)]

[Grade: Lower Holy Grade]

[Characteristics: Qingming Sword Song, Sword Drifting across the Wilderness]

[The Eighteen Styles of Qingming Sword Sutra, compiled by Qingming Sword Immortal, uses Qingming as the image, pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship, inherits Qingming's sword, and makes no trace of the sword. The eighteen sword movements are as changeable as Qingming's, killing Cut Wushuang. 】

This holy-level swordsmanship inheritance is so pure and high-level that Li Mu can't help but feel a little worried while being happy. He knows very well that practicing any skill requires careful consideration. Once he makes the wrong choice, it may have an irreversible impact on his path of practice. The name Qingming Swordsmanship sounds both mysterious and profound. He knows very little about it. He doesn't know whether it can coexist harmoniously with his current practice or whether it will cause conflict in his future practice.

Just as Li Mu was deep in thought and hesitant, Qiu Changming's hearty laughter came to his ears. This approachable elder seemed to notice Li Mu's doubts and took the initiative to ask: "Elder Li, do you have any doubts? If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Hearing this, Li Mu quickly calmed down and respectfully asked Qiu Changming: "Elder Qiu, this junior knows very little about this Qingming Sword Sutra. I wonder what kind of sword inheritance it is? How does it compare with the technique I am currently practicing? Will there be a conflict?"

Qiu Changming smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Qingming Swordsmanship is an extremely ancient and profound swordsmanship inheritance. It emphasizes the unity of man and sword, and pursues the harmony between the sword's will and the aura of heaven and earth. Blending. To practice Qingming Sword Dao, you need a pure and flawless sword heart and a persistent pursuit of the sword. As for whether it conflicts with the technique you practice, it depends on the attributes of your technique and your practice philosophy. If The technique you practice is also mainly about pursuing the sword's intention, so the two should be able to complement each other; on the contrary, if the two concepts are contrary to each other, there may be some impact."

After listening to Qiu Changming's explanation, Li Mu suddenly realized that although Qingming Sword Art was profound, it was not an untouchable mystery.

"I practice the Five Elements Kung Fu, so I'm afraid I won't be able to specialize in swordsmanship. If I practice this sword scripture, I'm afraid there will be some negative effects!" Li Mu frowned and looked at Qiu Changming for advice.

Qiu Changming looked at Li Mu, laughed, and said with relief: "Hahaha, Elder Li, don't worry too much. Sword Master Feng gives you this Sword Scripture. In addition to rewarding you for your contribution this time, he also wants you to understand this book through Sword Sutra, do some reference, and understand the heart of the sword as soon as possible. He does not expect you to be able to master this technique. It is indeed extremely difficult to master Qingming Sword Dao, not to mention that it is only a residual sutra, only the first half of the six-layer technique Dharma. I’m afraid you have to wait until you fly to the upper world to find the next twelve levels of techniques. So, you don’t have to worry, just go and understand them.”

Hearing this, Li Mu's worries eased a little, and he understood that he didn't have to force himself to practice Qingming Sword Dao, he only needed to understand the sword's meaning. However, Qiu Changming's next words made him fall into deep thought again.

"If you can cultivate Qingming Sword Dao, it doesn't matter if you don't practice the five elements. If you cultivate the five elements together, you will be extremely powerful in the early stage. However, as your cultivation deepens, you will find that this road becomes more and more difficult to continue. The unity of the five elements seems to be the pursuit of the highest state of chaos. However, the real way of chaos is not just the combination of the five elements. It lacks the reconciliation of yin and yang, and the integration of the three main paths of time, space and cause and effect. Only Only by deriving yin and yang and combining the principles of time, space, and cause and effect can we truly condense the ultimate path of chaos. This is a road that is almost inaccessible. It is not easy to cultivate the ultimate path of chaos." Qiu Changming couldn't help stroking his beard when he said this. , a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he sighed sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but be slightly startled and fell into deep thought. Through Qiu Changming's emotion, he roughly understood that the ultimate destination of cultivating the Five Elements together was the Chaos Ultimate Path. However, he had only a limited understanding of the specific meaning of the Chaos Ultimate Path and how to achieve it.

So, Li Mu curiously turned to Qiu Changming, bowed his hands and asked for advice: "Elder Qiu, I wonder what the ultimate chaos means? Why do you say it is the end of the five elements' cultivation together?"

Hearing this, Qiu Changming laughed and said: "Elder Li, there are three thousand ways, and each path has its own unique way of practice and philosophy. However, no matter which path we choose, the final destination is the path of chaos. It's just that the path leads to chaos. , compared with other paths, the Five Elements Cultivation method is closer to the essence of the Chaos Avenue. Because the Five Elements represent the five basic elements of nature, the interaction and transformation between them are the root of the growth and change of all things in the world, and Chaos Ultimate is to take this interaction and transformation to the extreme and reach an indescribable supreme state."

Speaking of this, Qiu Changming paused and continued: "Of course, it is not easy to truly understand the secrets of the Chaos Ultimate Way. I suggest that you go to the Sutra Collection Pavilion when you have time, where there are many The sect’s thousands of years of Taoist scriptures contain many detailed discussions on the extreme path of chaos.”

"Elder Qiu, thank you for your advice." Li Mu nodded and bowed respectfully to thank him.

"Haha, Elder Li is so polite!" Qiu Changming smiled, waved his hand, and continued: "The success of luring the enemy this time has been calculated, and the reward is 500,000 sect contribution points. Now I will allocate your contribution to you. Elder Li, will Give me the elder’s order!”

When Li Mu heard this, he felt happy. The sect's contribution is extremely precious and can be used to exchange for various cultivation resources, secret techniques and even magic weapons. 500,000 points of contribution is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, enough to exchange for four or five copies of seventh-level spiritual materials, which is extremely precious.

Li Mu quickly took out his elder's order and handed it to Qiu Changming with both hands.

Qiu Changming took the elder's order and then used his magic power. A ray of light rose from the elder's order and merged into it.

After a while, Qiu Changming returned the elder's order to Li Mu and said with a smile: "Elder Li, the contribution has been allocated to your elder's order. Please check it."

Li Mu took the elder's order and his mind sank into it. Sure enough, he saw that the sect's contribution value soared by 500,000 points.

"Thank you, Elder Qiu!" Li Mu thanked him again.

"No need to be polite!" Qiu Changming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Elder Li deserves the most credit for being able to annihilate most of the Nine Demon Sect and the Blood Demon Clan this time. Moreover, in the past ten years, you have done countless things to the sect by refining weapons. A great contribution, I hope you will not be arrogant or impetuous, and continue your efforts to make greater contributions to the sect!"

"Don't worry, Elder Qiu, you will definitely live up to the expectations of the sect!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, then he thought of something and reminded: "In this battle, many disciples in the sect took advantage of the ancient teleportation array and sent me thousands of stars many times. In the sea area, I am afraid that the formation patterns of the ancient teleportation array will be damaged. I suggest that the ancient inheritance array be stopped until I check and maintain it."

He was stunned for a moment, then a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "Elder Li has thought carefully. The ancient teleportation array is indeed one of the important foundations of our sect. If it is damaged, the consequences will be disastrous. I am drafting this task. , the ancient teleportation array is temporarily closed and will be reopened after you check and maintain it."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Changming operated his token, and then reached out to Li Mu to ask for help: "This time, the task of repairing the ancient teleportation array is set: 50,000 contribution points. Elder Li, please give me the elder's order again. I’ll help you take on this mission.”

When Li Mu heard this, he felt happy and quickly handed the elder's order to Qiu Changming.

Qiu Changming took the elder's order and used his magic power again. A ray of light rose from the elder's order. After a moment, he returned the elder's order to Li Mu and said with a smile: "Elder Li, the mission has been accepted. I'd like to trouble you."

"It should be!" Li Mu accepted the elder's order and responded with a smile.

Then Li Mu said goodbye to Qiu Changming and all the elders, and turned to leave.

After leaving Xuantian Hall, Li Mufei landed at the foot of a deserted mountain. His spiritual consciousness was invested in the inheritance jade slip, and he accepted the holy inheritance of Qingming Sword Sutra on the spot.

Li Mu didn't worry too much about the remaining copies. As long as he met the upgrade requirements and could continue to upgrade, the subsequent inheritance of the skills would appear. In addition, according to Qiu Changming, the five elements of yin and yang were cultivated together, and they eventually followed the extreme path of chaos. Then there is no need to study another sword scripture.

With the integration of Li Mu's spiritual consciousness, the inheritance method of Qingming Sword Scripture quickly poured into the sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, the magnificent sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have endless sword intent surging in it.

The inheritance method of Qingming Sword Scripture is extremely mysterious, and it contains endless sword intent and the essence of swordsmanship. In Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness, a vast sea of ​​swords appeared, and each sword exuded a unique aura and power. Neng, immersed in this sea of ​​swords, feeling the pulse and breathing of each sword, and comprehending the essence of Qingming Sword Sutra.

Time passed slowly, and the sword intention in Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness became stronger and stronger. It seemed that countless sword laws were intertwined and fused in it. It was as if he had seen the scene when Sword Immortal Qingming created this sword scripture, and saw the endless Scenes of a sea of ​​swords and sword energy.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Mu finally condensed a unique sword intention in his sea of ​​consciousness. The meaning of this sword is like an entity, exuding strong fluctuations of sword energy.

Li Mu woke up with his eyes open, and a sharp green sword light shot out from his eyes, which was a mark of successfully accepting the inheritance of Qingming Sword Dao.

[Ding, you successfully accepted the inheritance of "Qingming Sword Sutra", and you learned Qingming Sword Technique. 】

Li Mu immediately looked at the log prompt that appeared on the character panel, and then his consciousness fell on the panel, and he chose to use proficiency points to add points to the Qingming Sword Sutra.

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, and the Qingming Sword Sutra proficiency +1. 】

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, and the Qingming Sword Sutra proficiency +1. 】

Improvement: +15%, you have understood the meaning of Qingming Sword. 】

…

Thanks to Li Mu's unremitting efforts, the level of Qingming Sword Classic - The First Sword Chapter was finally raised to level six. At this moment, he felt a closer connection with the sword, as if the man and the sword were one, the sword was his body, and his body was the sword.

However, when Li Mu tried to continue adding points to the Qingming Sword Scripture, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer improve its level. It turns out that to upgrade the Qingming Sword Scripture to the next level requires a spiritual plant attribute called Qingming Spiritual Source. In the absence of this spiritual attribute, the improvement in the level of Qingming Sword Sutra stagnated.

In this regard, Li Mu was not discouraged. He just wanted to find such high-level spiritual plants again and plant a batch of more high-level spiritual plants.

Li Mu was silent in Qingming Sword Technique, recalling the improvement in swordsmanship brought about by receiving the inheritance of Qingming Sword Scripture and upgrading his skills.

At this moment, the whole body is exuding green sword energy, the body is like a sword, the sword is full of power, and it is unstoppable.

In his mind, the sword moves, sword light, sword steps, and sword shadows related to the Qingming Sword Scripture appeared one after another. Li Mu kept recalling the details of these sword moves and trying to figure out the essence. Every recall made him understand With a deeper understanding of the Qingming Sword Sutra and a more thorough understanding of the Qingming Sword Technique, the Qingming Sword Intent emanating from his body becomes stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Li Mu couldn't help but stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and made a sword move casually. Then, a line of Qingming Sword Qi shot out from between the two fingers.

The sword energy cut through the sky, making a sharp whistle, like a giant blue dragon tumbling in the air. Wherever the sword energy passed, the air vibrated and made a crackling sound. Finally, the sword energy exploded on a distant mountain peak, cutting off half of the spiritual peak.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he waved a sword energy at random, causing the effect of cracking rocks and breaking peaks. If this Qingming sword energy is added to the sixth-order spiritual sword, what kind of damage can it cause? , unimaginable.

It is indeed a holy inheritance, and the power of the sword energy is indeed extraordinary!

It's so good! Another trump card.

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, quickly restrained the Qingming Sword Qi on his body, and flew up with his sword, flying towards the Jianxin Palace.

Next, Li Mu is going to the Lingfeng where the ancient teleportation array is located. In the name of carrying out the task of repairing the teleportation array, he will obtain another holy inheritance, the one recorded on the jade wall next to the teleportation array. (End of chapter)
