Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time flies by like a white horse, and three years go by in a blink of an eye.

During this period, the battle that took place in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and the Sea of ​​Netherworld came to an end.

With the blessing of two seventh-level Taoist swords, Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng showed shocking combat power. They fought against the Immortal Demon Lord for several days and successfully defeated him.

That fierce battle swept through the entire Nether Water Sea. In the end, the Immortal Demon Lord and the army of demon cultivators led by him were forced to withdraw and returned to the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm.

However, the joy of victory did not last long. The Immortal Demon Lord's army of Immortal Demon Lice Armor still showed tenacious fighting power even when they were defeated, causing heavy losses to the Zhongzhou monk army. Many monks were The war ended.

Faced with such a situation, the two sword masters had to suspend their plan to attack the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm after expelling the demon cultivator army. The army needed time to recuperate, allocate resources, and replenish personnel.

After more than two years of rest and preparation, the Zhongzhou monk army has regained its former glory. They are about to launch a comprehensive and decisive attack on the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm, vowing to completely drive the Moyuan forces out of the spiritual world.

Three years have passed by in a hurry, but for Li Mu, this has been a fruitful period.

Li Mu spent almost all day in seclusion within the sect, devoting all his energy to the study of skills such as weapon refining and puppet making. During this period, he not only successfully refined two powerful Tao swords, but also created Numerous sixth-level spiritual treasures and countless puppets.

In addition to refining weapons and making puppets, Li Mu is also committed to collecting various high-level spiritual materials and spiritual plants. When he encounters some rare spiritual plants and spiritual species, he will buy them at all costs.

At the same time, Li Mu did not forget to continue to explore the conditions and clues of the remaining extreme spiritual lands.

As the two sword masters captured the Nether Water Sea Territory, the Ji Shui Ling Land under the sealing formation was lost and recovered. When the army sets out to conquer the Southern Wilderness Spirit Territory, Li Mu will find time to go there and find out.

We have explored some clues in the polar spiritual land - Lingxu Fukushima, and we can set off there only when the time is right.

As for the Cangyuan Secret Realm, although the eight major families have been unable to reach an agreement on the issue of opening it to him, Li Mu is not in a hurry. Time is the best catalyst. As time goes by and the Kun family's strength becomes more obvious with his assistance, With the promotion, the concepts of other families are gradually changing.

The rise of the Kun family is a clear example. It is placed in front of the seven major families and makes them begin to re-examine Li Mu's abilities and the potential behind him.

It was due to the significant changes in the Kun family that the remaining seven families had an increasingly strong desire for Tao soldiers. They began to realize that cooperation with Li Mu might be a shortcut to improving the family's strength. As a result, the five families who originally had reservations about Li Mu quickly changed their stance and actively sought cooperation with him.

The remaining three families, the Ji family, the Zhao family, and the Shangguan family are more stubborn, and they still have doubts and wariness about Li Mu. The Zhao family has always regarded itself as the head of the eight major families. It is uneasy about the rise of the Kun family and Li Mu's intervention, and is worried that its status will be threatened. The Ji family has some reservations about cooperation because of some grudges they had with Li Mu in the past. The Shangguan family preferred to remain neutral, neither opposing nor supporting Li Mu, so the matter continued to be delayed.

However, Li Mu is not anxious at all. Sooner or later, the piece of fat that is on his lips, Cangyuan Secret Realm, will fall into his mouth. He has successfully convinced the other five major families. As for the remaining three families, he has plenty of time to deal with them. .

There are still decades to go before the seven fifth-level spiritual plants mature. As long as Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng successfully take back the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm, find another place where the Extreme Sun is sealed, gather together the seven Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands, and plant high-level plants. Jie Lingzhi's plan is highly likely to be realized.

Li Mu focused his main energy on collecting the elixir of Guixu Pill and started refining it to prepare for advancement to the Void Refining Realm.

——————

In the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, somewhere in a remote place, an originally peaceful village is now shrouded in deathly silence. This village once had smoke from cooking stoves, the sound of chickens and dogs, the villagers were working hard, and the surrounding farmland was full of green.

However, I don’t know when, the farmland around the village began to become deserted, overgrown with weeds, and no longer deserted. The land that was once full of life now only has exposed bones and dilapidated houses, and the entire village has become a quiet place of death. land.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed lightly in a dilapidated village house.

The black shadow was clearly a demon general under the Immortal Demon Lord, named Mengpuppet. He was strong and strong, but at this moment he suddenly knelt down deep into the room, bowed his head deeply, and reported with a trembling voice: "Demon Lord, the dream puppet has come to return to life and has heard about the target's movements."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, bringing with it a chilling chill, as if even the air had frozen. The candlelight in the room suddenly shook violently, with mottled light and shadow, as if something was approaching, and the entire dilapidated house The room was filled with a mysterious and strange atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure slowly appeared from the darkness, accompanied by a powerful demonic aura.

That was the Immortal Demon Lord. He was tall and tall, with a stern face. His black robe was fluttering in the wind, like a demon in the dark night. He was wearing a broken black magic armor. He was like a flesh snake that kept moving, with sharp streaks. The hooks flashed with a faint black light, as if he was suffering unbearable pain. His face was pale and cold, his eyes were as deep as black holes, as if they could swallow up all light, his face was gloomy, and his breath made people shudder.

The Immortal Demon Lord's hair is long and black, like an undercurrent in the night, fluttering in the wind. His fingers are slender and powerful, with a faint devilish aura at his fingertips. He took two steps before, and the ground shook slightly, like a heavy object. Falling to the ground gives people an invisible sense of oppression.

The Immortal Demon Lord walked up to the kneeling Demon General and looked down at him, with a dangerous light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" The Immortal Demon Lord's voice was low and cold, as if coming from the depths of hell, making people involuntarily feel fear.

The Demon General trembled under the pressure of the Immortal Demon Lord. He did not dare to raise his head and look directly into those terrifying eyes. He could only lower his head and replied in a trembling voice: "The target is pressing against the Eight Great Cultivation Families with the intention of entering 'Cang Yuan'." "Secret Realm', this secret realm is most likely another sealed place."

Hearing this, the Immortal Demon Lord raised his brows slightly, a trace of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes, and slowly walked around the Demon General. Every step seemed to step heavily on the Demon General's heart, making his fear worse. Hair is strong.

"Cangyuan Secret Realm? Another sealed place..." The Immortal Demon Lord whispered to himself, deep in thought, as if thinking about the deep meaning behind this matter.

At this moment, the face of the Immortal Demon Lord was as gloomy as water, with sparks of hatred flashing in his eyes. The two defeated generals suddenly obtained a sword each, and they worked together to defeat him. This incident was like a thorn piercing his heart. Keeping him up at night.

After being defeated, the Immortal Demon Lord did not choose to escape back to the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm to recuperate. Instead, he took a group of subordinates who had a lucky escape and resolutely came to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, vowing to find out the reason behind this. The result was easily found out. The cause of all this was the former enemy "Li Jianxian".

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord. This person who once made him suffer so much has now achieved great success. Not only has he advanced to the middle stage of divine transformation, he has also become the Supreme Elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and those two The seventh-level Dao sword was forged by him himself.

In addition, the fall of Dana, the Lord of the Blood Demons, is also inseparable from it. Dana's mission to search for the sealed land was also destroyed by him time and time again.

Many factors, old and new grudges were intertwined. At this moment, the anger in the heart of the Immortal Demon Lord was burning, and he wished he could get rid of Li Mu quickly.

After learning that Li Mu was planning the Cangyuan Secret Realm, the Immortal Demon Lord sneered again and again. This might be a perfect opportunity. Since he was so interested in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, he would take advantage of this to ambush this person and solve it completely.

However, how to successfully sneak into the eight major families and enter the Cangyuan secret realm in advance is a complicated matter.

The Immortal Demon Lord flashed a sinister look in his eyes and fell into deep thought. There are many masters in the eight major cultivation families in Zhongzhou. If you want to obtain the key to Cangyuan Secret Realm, you must be a core member of the family... This matter was carefully planned, and there can be no omissions. .

The Immortal Demon Lord stopped and looked at the Demon General again. The coldness in his voice melted slightly: "You did a good job, Meng Puppet. You did your best to collect information about Cangyuan Secret Realm. I want to know everything about the target. Trends, and check again, which of the eight major families is suitable to replace them and is qualified to enter the Cangyuan Secret Realm."

"Yes!" The demon general bowed and accepted the order. The next moment, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared in an instant.

As time passed, Meng Puppet brought back more and more information. The Immortal Demon Lord carefully read every piece of information, analyzed the relationship between the eight major families, and their attitudes towards the Cangyuan Secret Realm, and gained a lot of information. With little gain, I also understood Li Mu’s layout.

The 'Cangyuan Secret Realm' is a mysterious and rich place that continuously breeds high-level spiritual plants, spiritual fruits and various rare elixirs. For practitioners, this is tantamount to an endless treasure house. The eight major families know this very well, so they unite with each other to guard this secret realm and ensure that the resources are not tampered with by outsiders.

However, behind this seemingly solid alliance, there are profound competitions and calculations hidden. Each family hopes to obtain a larger share of resources in the secret realm in order to strengthen their family strength. This delicate balancing relationship makes the eight families have both cooperation and struggle, making the situation complicated.

Through the information brought back by the Dream Puppet, the Immortal Demon Lord discovered that Li Mu was using this delicate balance to skillfully manipulate the interests of the eight major families, trying to control the Cangyuan Secret Realm. This is indeed a clever strategy, but it also provides an opportunity for the Immortal Demon Lord.

What makes the Immortal Demon Lord even more excited is that the properties produced by the 'Cangyuan Secret Realm' further confirmed his guess. The 'Cangyuan Secret Realm' is undoubtedly another sealed place. This discovery further strengthened his belief that he could sneak into Cangyuan. The secret realm and the determination to break the seal.

Among the eight major families, he is the weakest, and the candidate who is least likely to be discovered by pretending to replace someone is here!

The Immortal Demon Lord's eyes were shining with a deep light, and he had already locked his target - a certain core elder of the Ji family. This elder has a high status in the Ji family, but due to his age, his strength is not as good as before. In recent years, he has become more reclusive and has less contact with the outside world. Therefore, he has become an ideal candidate in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord.

More importantly, this elder is old and holds a high position. He leads some core events of the Ji family and should be able to know more about the secret realm of Cangyuan. This undoubtedly provides great convenience for the disguise of the Immortal Demon Lord. If he can disguise If you become this elder and remain unnoticed, you will most likely be able to accomplish something.

The Immortal Demon Lord began to plan carefully. First, he sent someone to learn in detail about the elder's living habits, words and deeds, and the relationship network within the family. Afterwards, he began to imitate the words and deeds of this elder and practiced the breath disguise technique to ensure that the 'replacement strategy' was foolproof.

Qixuan Sect, the sect master's palace, the meeting hall.

Li Mu sat on the spacious main seat in the main hall. The heads of the eight major families sat separately. The atmosphere seemed solemn and solemn. Under the strong pressure of the two sword masters, the eight major families finally chose to compromise and came to visit Li Mu one after another to discuss letting go. The matter of opening the secret realm of Cangyuan.

Originally the eight major families could not reach a unanimous decision, but in the end, due to the intervention of the external force Xuantian Sword Sect, they finally had to give in and accepted the proposal to release the Cangyuan Secret Realm.

This change made the atmosphere in the meeting hall subtle and complicated.

This time Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen successfully defeated the Immortal Demon Lord. They attributed the main credit to Li Mu. After learning that during this period, he was spending energy on unifying the opinions of the eight major families and allowing him to enter the Cangyuan Secret Realm, they immediately oppressed him hard. The eight major families, let the eight major families cooperate.

The Chaos Sealing Formation is a two-realm passage seal related to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm. Cangyuan Secret Realm is most likely one of its sub-formations. Regarding Li Mu's timely 'feedback' and enthusiastic 'repair' and maintenance of the sealing formation, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen expressed their opinions. His performance of "duty and responsibility" was highly praised.

"Elder Li, after discussion, our eight major families have decided to accept your proposal." Shangguan Clan Chief Shangguan Yun, as the representative, looked at Li Mu and said solemnly: "Cangyuan Secret Realm will be fully open to you. At the same time, we also hope that you can accept it. We are entrusted with refining Taoist weapons."

Li Mu smiled slightly. He was not surprised by this result. Now Xuantian Sword Sect is about to organize all its forces and unite the army to counterattack the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory. Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen are leading the war and are fully deploying manpower from various sects and families. With just one word from them, the eight major families had to compromise.

Sometimes, power is stronger than people. If he had known that Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen's words were so effective, he wouldn't have to bother doing those thankless things.

"Since the eight major families are so sincere, Li will naturally do his best to complete the weapon refining commission." Li Mu looked at Shangguan Yun and nodded with a smile.

Just as a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the clan leaders, Li Mu changed his tone and continued: "However, I also have a condition."

Hearing this, all the clan leaders tensed up and looked at Li Mu, waiting for the next words. (End of chapter)
