Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu glanced at Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming. The two were full of anticipation and nervousness. He knew the anxiety in their hearts and understood why they were like this. This restriction was related to the rumors of the secret cave, and what was inside related to whether they could go further. hope.

However, the secrets contained in this formation cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Li Mu sighed and continued to look at the formation in front of him, ignoring them.

With the innate magical power of identifying all spirits, Li Mu saw the entire array's attributes and learned its name.

[Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation (Sub)]

[Level: Eighth-level holy-level magic circle. 】

[Characteristics: Inducing yin to absorb evil spirits, condensing evil spirits to help each other, extremely yin power, chaos unified, chaos sealing the world,]

[Status: Gathering the evil spirits of heaven and earth, sealing the realm, it is the ninth-level divine formation - the son of the chaotic realm sealing formation]

[Using the House of Jueyin to gather the evil spirits of extreme yin and condense the power of heaven and earth to form an eighth-order magic array - the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation, which will be combined with the other six sub-formations to form a ninth-level divine formation - the Chaos Sealing Formation. With the majestic power of Earthly Evil and Chaos, other realms were sealed off. After tens of thousands of years, the power of the restriction has slightly faded, and the power of Yin evil has leaked out. 】

After seeing the properties of this Earthly Fiend Yin Gathering Formation, Li Mu couldn't calm down for a long time. He stood there with solemn eyes and thoughts surging like a tide. In his mind, various clues flickered like stars, gradually connecting together, giving him some vague guesses about the purpose of this formation.

Recalling his previous exchanges with Qingyangzi, combined with the details of the Qingyue True Dragon's acquisition of the secret realm key in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea, the pursuit of the Lord of the Nine Demon Sect, and the Blood Demon, Li Mu gradually pieced together the details of this formation. secret. If his guess is correct, this formation is one of the formations jointly arranged by seven Dao Lords in ancient times. Its main function is to join with other formations to form the Chaos Realm Sealing Formation. The function of this Chaos Sealing Formation is to seal the passage between the Demonic Abyss and this realm, preventing the forces of the Demonic Abyss from invading this realm.

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt inexplicably complicated. The Yin Evil Storm and Yin Evil Dragon King he encountered before was probably caused by the erosion of this formation over tens of thousands of years, and its power began to leak out. This caused a gap in the seal passage, causing the Southern Wilderness Continent to be invaded by the forces of the Demon Abyss, allowing some of the forces of the Demon Abyss to infiltrate into this realm.

As for whether the other six sub-formations also had their formation power leaked, Li Mu didn't know. This Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation was only a part of the entire Chaos Seal Formation. If similar problems occurred in other sub-formations, then the entire Chaos Seal Formation would be affected. The stability of the world formation no longer exists.

Li Mu took a deep breath, gathered his mind, and began to concentrate on observing the Earthly Evil Gathering Yin Formation. His consciousness was scanning every corner of the formation over and over again, trying to find the source of the formation's power leaking out.

Seeing Li Mu's brows furrowed and always worried, Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming couldn't help but become nervous. They knew that they knew nothing about the mysteries of the formation and could only rely on Li Mu, the great master of the formation.

If even Li Mu said that he could not break the restrictions of the formation, then it would be really impossible for them to find another formation master who could break the formation.

"Master Li!" Qian Wantong finally couldn't help but speak, interrupting Li Mu's contemplation, and asked: "Is this array restriction really so difficult? With your array skills, is there really no way to break it? "

Li Mu came back to his senses, glanced at him, and slowly introduced: "This restriction is indeed no small matter. Its structure is extremely complex and contains a variety of ancient formations. These formations are not arranged randomly, but are carefully designed and Arrangement, each array pattern contains powerful extremely yin power. Countless extremely yin powers are intertwined with each other to form a complete restriction system. The power of gathering earth evil and extremely yin power is strong enough to suppress one party. world."

Li Mu paused for a moment and continued: "This formation, if nothing else goes wrong, should be an eighth-order Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation. Such a formation is extremely rare even in this world. However, due to experience, this formation After tens of thousands of years of eroding, the formation is somewhat difficult to maintain, and some of its power has leaked. This is also the reason why you discovered this formation."

Having said this, Li Mu looked at Wan Shaoming and continued to explain: "The extremely Yin storm and Yin evil dragon king we encountered on the road before, if there are no accidents, should be the result of the leakage of the power of this magic circle. These leaked formations Although the power is only the tip of the iceberg, it is enough to have a great impact on the surrounding environment. From this, we can see how terrifying the power of this eighth-level Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation is."

"Eighth Level Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation..." Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes. Although they knew little about the formation, they also knew how terrifying the eighth level magic formation was. The presence. That was a legendary level. Even they had only heard about it in ancient books, but they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes today.

For a moment, both of them fell into silence. They knew that facing such a terrifying formation, even a formation master like Li Mu would be powerless!

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly changed his tone and asked Qian Wantong with concern: "Where was the death-defying spirit grass found? Take me to see it!"

Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming looked at each other, a little surprised that Li Mu would make such a request at this time, but they also understood that Li Mu, as a master of formations, must have unique insights into the growth environment of spiritual grass. Perhaps, against death The place where the spiritual grass grows can provide him with some clues to crack the magic circle.

Qian Wantong nodded and said respectfully: "Master Li, please come with me."

With that said, Qian Wantong turned around and led Li Mu towards the direction where he found the Anti-Death Spirit Grass.

Soon, the group of people carefully walked through the places where the forbidden power passed. During the walk, Qian Wantong described to Li Mu in detail how he discovered the anti-death spirit grass.

"The Anti-Death Spirit Grass was discovered after we discovered the restriction of this magic circle, tried several times to break the restriction, and lost several companions." Qian Wantong said solemnly: "At that time, we were also looking for some rare medicinal materials. I just entered there by mistake, and I didn’t expect that not only did I find the Anti-Death Spirit Grass, but I also encountered such a terrifying magic circle.”

Qian Wantong walked in front to lead the way and added: "The Death-Resisting Spirit Grass grows in an extremely hidden passage, surrounded by the power of restrictions. It took a lot of effort for us to get closer. See When you reach the vision of heaven and earth it reveals, if you want to pick it off, you must first break the formation restrictions within it."

Listening to Qian Wantong's description, Li Mu frowned and thought secretly in his heart. The growth environment of the anti-death spirit grass is very special, and it is often closely related to the aura between heaven and earth, the power of gathering yin, the terrain, and even some unknown mysterious forces. The discovery of the anti-death spirit grass near the eighth-level earth evil gathering yin formation is absolutely amazing. It was not accidental, and probably had something to do with the leakage of the formation's power.

The group continued to move forward, cautiously, for fear of triggering the surrounding restrictions.

Soon, they came to the hidden passage, and saw that the passage was emitting a faint red light and silver light, like the fire of the netherworld beating, and an aura that stimulated the soul came out, making people feel dizzy. Restless. However, due to the obstruction of the restraining power of Yin Sha, these breaths were firmly locked in the passage, forming invisible barriers that even the divine consciousness could not penetrate to see what was going on.

However, these visions are extremely consistent with the characteristics of the Anti-Death Spirit Grass. Li Mu perked up, and a glint flashed in his eyes. Although he had never seen the Death-Resisting Spirit Grass with his own eyes, he had heard about its legend.

"The Death-Resisting Grass is born at the junction of Yin and Yang, and absorbs the energy of Yin and Yang from heaven and earth. It is extremely mysterious." Li Mu spoke slowly, with a sense of awe in his voice: "The growth conditions of this grass are extremely harsh, and it must be at the intersection of Yin and Yang. Growth, and there is a gathering of evil spirits. All living beings encounter the anti-death spiritual grass. Non-spiritual monks will die if they touch it, and their souls will be separated. This spiritual grass will bear fruit for thousands of years and bloom for thousands of years. When the flowers bloom, there will be a difference between heaven and earth. The elephant shows a blood-red light, which is a sign that the flowers are blooming."

"It seems that there is indeed a death-defying spirit grass inside!" Li Mu said excitedly.

"Master Li, the strange phenomena in the passage are obvious and the medicine is full of power. I'm afraid there is more than one death-defying herb." Qian Wantong looked at Li Mu and said with a worried expression: "It's a pity that this restriction is difficult to break. If you want to pick it, I’m afraid I can’t handle this grass!”

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and stared deeply at the passage ahead that exuded a faint red light. He could feel the powerful restraining power emanating from the passage, like an invisible giant hand, firmly guarding the anti-death spirit grass inside.

Others also looked depressed. They had the opportunity to enter the treasure mountain but could not get the treasure. This helplessness and depression made them feel very uncomfortable.

The Death-Resisting Spirit Grass is related to Li Mu's Dao Heart Oath, and this matter must not be given up. However, the formation in front of us is inextricably linked to the seal of the Demonic Abyss Passage. If something goes wrong during the process of breaking the seal, the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Mu took a deep breath and weighed the pros and cons secretly in his mind. The range of this formation was large enough, and just cracking this small area should not have much impact. However, he also knew that this formation had experienced tens of thousands of years of erosion. , the formation strength has been lost, and I don’t know if this breaking of the ban will cause a chain reaction.

For a moment, Li Mu was caught in a dilemma, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

"Master Li, what's up? Are you sure you can break this formation?" Qian Wantong looked at Li Mu and asked expectantly.

"Master Li, now that you know the origin of this formation, you should be confident in breaking it! There is no need to break most of the restrictions, as long as you can enter the cave within the restrictions." Wan Shaoming looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

Li Mu looked at the two people, nodded and said: "I tried to crack it, but the restriction here seems to have some strange connection with the surrounding environment. Once it is touched, it may cause unpredictable consequences. I need more information." Spend more time researching to make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Hearing what he said, Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming looked at each other, with a trace of disappointment flashing in their eyes. They knew that Li Mu's words meant that they still had to wait, and this wait might be very long.

However, they also understood the difficulty of this formation, so the two nodded to express their understanding, and then retreated with their subordinates, no longer disturbing Li Mu's study of the restrictions.

——————

In the sky above the extreme northern ice field, more than a dozen spiritual ships were rushing towards the hinterland. However, they encountered a Yin evil storm, surrounded by dozens of Yin dragons, and a dozen spiritual ships were in a dilemma.

In one of the spiritual ships, 'Red Mountain' (Lord of the Blood Demon - Dana) was sitting in the main seat. He went up the mountain naked, showing off his strong chest. His bloody hair was like a waterfall, hanging wildly, and his face was stern. , his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, revealing an arrogant and domineering spirit, but his aura was restrained and did not reveal the aura of a powerful person in the Fusion Realm.

At this moment, 'Hongshan' looked at the raging Yin evil storm outside the window, frowning, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Looking at the Yin dragons surrounding the spirit ship, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he wished he could take action immediately to kill those bugs. obliterate.

"Demon Lord, please calm down. The storm is shrinking. Those Yin Dragons cannot attack for a long time and will retreat soon." Wutian Demon Ancestor saw the thoughts of Dana, the Lord of the Blood Demon, and quickly comforted him.

"Hmph, how long do you want me to hide for?" 'Hongshan''s eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. Although his voice was suppressed as much as possible, it still revealed his inner irritability and dissatisfaction. His hands were clenched into fists, veins Baoqi was obviously trying his best to control his emotions.

Wutian Demon Ancestor looked at the violent appearance of 'Hongshan' and felt helpless in his heart. He knew the Demon Lord's character, unruly and unruly, but at this time they were at a critical moment and must keep a low profile and not be exposed easily. identity.

"Demon Lord, please be patient." Wutian Demon Ancestor smiled bitterly. He knew that he had to appease Hongshan's emotions at this moment, "The monks of Tianji Tower are good at deducing the secrets of heaven. We are mixed with their treasure hunting team this time. If you are easily exposed in Zhongzhou, the consequences will be disastrous. When we reach the forbidden area in the hinterland of the ice sheet, we will take action. Then you can use it to your heart's content, and no one will dare to stop you."

After listening to Wutian Demon Ancestor’s words, ‘Hongshan’ felt a little calmer from the irritability in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He knew that Wutian Demon Ancestor was right, this was not the time to act impulsively.

"Okay, I will just bear with it a little longer." 'Hongshan' snorted coldly, temporarily compromising.

Seeing this, Demon Ancestor Wutian breathed a sigh of relief.

During this trip to the far north ice field, they mingled with the treasure hunting team formed by Tianji Tower in order to find the sealed place.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The treasure hunting team of Wanbao Pavilion has always been the focus of attention of many forces. Naturally, their actions of treasure hunting in the far north ice field cannot be hidden from interested people. Therefore, many forces gathered a treasure hunting team and followed closely. Come.

After the defeat in the Battle of Ten Thousand Stars Sea Territory, the Lord of the Blood Demon, Wutian Demon Ancestor, and his party turned to other territories and searched for clues about other sealed places. After learning the news, they hid in them.

'Hongshan' stood up, walked to the window, and stared out the window. The evil storm was raging on the ice field, the wind was howling, mixed with the biting cold and the heavy evil spirit. Those Yin dragons were tumbling around the great array of spirit ships, their fangs and claws flashing with cold light, trying to devour all living creatures.

"Wutian, why do you think this Yin evil storm is so violent? Although the Yin evil energy in the extreme northern ice sheet is heavy, it usually does not form a storm of this scale." 'Hongshan' frowned and asked doubtfully .

Demon Ancestor Wutian pondered for a moment and replied: "Demon Lord, in my opinion, the changes in the evil storm may be related to the sealed place we are looking for."

Hearing this, 'Hongshan' narrowed his eyes slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "You mean, that sealed place is related to this evil storm?"

Wutian Demon Ancestor nodded and further explained: "It is indeed true, Demon Lord, according to our previous investigation, a wave of formation force erupted deep in the extreme northern ice field, and this evil storm also happened to be emanating from the Ice Ghost Valley. came out, so I speculate that there may be some connection between the two.”

'Hongshan' nodded clearly, looking in the direction of the far north ice field, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes. (End of chapter)
