Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Then it flew away, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the trial space, giant stone statues of hundreds of feet gathered in the center, and the giant feet stomped down fiercely, making a series of earth-shattering noises, and the whole space collapsed, with gravel and dust flying.

Under the siege of these giants, a tall figure with monstrous demonic energy shuttled through it. His body movements were extremely strange and fast. Every movement was accompanied by the surging demonic energy and the distortion of space, and he dodged the attacks of the giant puppets again and again.

The Immortal Demon Lord waved his hands, and an immortal demonic energy surged out like a sharp blade, colliding fiercely with the giant feet of the puppet.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the Immortal Demon Lord was like a black cannonball, and was knocked away. The giant feet of the stone statue puppets collapsed and turned into countless fine sand flying.

The Immortal Demon Lord stabilized his body in the air, and the immortal demonic energy on his body surged, causing his injuries to heal instantly. However, the severely injured stone puppet was restored to its original state under the effect of the formation.

At the same time, stone puppets came one after another from all directions, each of which exuded a heavy and terrifying aura.

A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord. He took a deep breath of demonic energy and disappeared instantly. When he appeared again, he had come to the top of a stone puppet. Putting his hands together, the demonic energy condensed into a black magic bead and smashed it hard on the top of the stone puppet.

"Bang!" The head of the stone puppet exploded instantly, turning into countless gravel and dust. However, the other puppets seemed to be unaffected and continued to rush towards the Immortal Demon Lord.

The Immortal Demon Lord frowned, knowing that these puppets, under the blessing of the formation here, had endless power and seemed to never run out.

Even a strong man like him would find it difficult to deal with such an opponent. If he could not find Li Mu as soon as possible and end this endless trial, even he would be exhausted to death by the endless attacks of these puppets in this trial formation.

"Where is that damn guy hiding?"

The Immortal Demon Lord looked around with a sharp gaze, trying to find Li Mu's trace in this chaos. However, there was no one in the trial space except for the stone puppets that kept approaching.

In half a month, most of the trialists in the trial space were killed by him, but Li Mu was never found.

Knowing that he had a cave magic weapon, if he wanted to hide completely, it would be difficult to pull him out.

The Immortal Demon Lord couldn't help but feel irritated. Where is that guy hiding? He must be hiding in a corner, watching this battle with a sneer?

The pressure in the trial space was getting bigger and bigger, as if even the air had become heavy. The Immortal Demon Lord's face was still cold, but his eyes turned quickly, thinking about countermeasures.

At this moment, a giant foot suddenly smashed down from the top of the Immortal Demon Lord's head, with a destructive momentum. The Immortal Demon Lord snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared instantly. When he appeared again, he was already on the side of the giant foot, punching it hard.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the entire trial space was shaken. The Immortal Demon Lord's body shook slightly, but then he stood firm. The puppet was shaken back a few steps. Obviously, this blow also caused a great impact on it.

The Immortal Demon Lord sneered, and his figure disappeared again, leaving a series of afterimages flashing in the space, constantly attacking the giant puppets that were close to him, as fierce as a storm.

...

Inside the Painting World Treasure House, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn. Li Mu sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was isolated from the outside world, but in fact, his consciousness was attached to a reconnaissance puppet, silently watching every move of the outside world.

Since Li Mu discovered a way to replenish the Earthly Spiritual Power for the Earthly Condensation Talisman, he decisively used a puppet substitute to conduct the trial. As for the original body, Xue'er and the others, they were brought into the Painting World Treasure House to hide and prepare to survive until the end of this inheritance trial.

However, just when Li Mu thought everything was under control and victory was in his grasp, an unexpected discovery broke his plan.

The Immortal Demon Lord, the terrifying demon who had already died, was still alive and appeared in this trial space. Li Mu's heart was instantly shocked and extremely surprised.

Although the Immortal Demon Lord's figure and appearance had undergone great changes, the lingering immortal demonic aura and the terrifying scene of him killing one after another of the Refining Void cultivators made Li Mu recognize his true identity at once and confirmed that the other party was undoubtedly the Immortal Demon Lord.

Knowing the horror of the Immortal Demon Lord and the horrific scenes of him killing the cultivators one by one, they were like nightmares, deeply engraved in Li Mu's mind. The substitute puppet hid deeper and deeper, not daring to show up easily, for fear of being noticed by the Immortal Demon Lord.

Li Mu watched the Immortal Demon Lord fighting with the giant stone statues from a distance through the perspective of the reconnaissance puppet. Those giant stone statues stood tall like ancient guardians, and each of them exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. However, in front of the monstrous demonic energy of the Immortal Demon Lord, these stone statues seemed to be vulnerable.

The Immortal Demon Lord was agile and his demonic energy was monstrous. Every attack carried the power of destroying the world. Those giant stone statues collapsed under his attack and turned into ruins. However, the Immortal Demon Lord did not seem to be satisfied with this. His eyes were full of violence, and his consciousness scanned everywhere again and again, as if searching for something.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he didn't know that he was coming for him.

Li Mu used his spiritual sense to control the reconnaissance puppet to retreat deeper, while his mind raced, thinking about countermeasures to deal with the enemy.

This trial was to obtain the legendary inheritance of the Taoist Lord, but at this moment, survival became the primary task. It was not impossible to erase the golden talisman and exit the trial space, but it seemed that he could not save his life.

Once he exited this trial space, it was inevitable that the Immortal Demon Lord would follow suit, and perhaps he would also exit this space and continue to hunt him down. It would be better to use this trial array to eliminate the Immortal Demon Lord.

In this state, as long as he did not hide, the Immortal Demon Lord would have to continue to bear the array puppets and attack him continuously. When he was exhausted, he would wait for an opportunity to attack?

The Immortal Demon Lord must have relied on something to chase him here. Now was a good opportunity to solve this trouble, and he could not afford to retreat.

Li Mu took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with determination, weighing the pros and cons, he had already made a decision, deciding to use the advantages of the trial array to consume the Immortal Demon Lord's power as much as possible, and then look for an opportunity to give a fatal blow.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in a blink of an eye. In the trial space, the range of activities of the stone puppets has been compressed to the extreme. Their bodies have shrunk rapidly, and their attack power has become stronger and stronger. They were originally a hundred feet tall, but now they have shrunk to about ten feet. Their texture has changed from red sand to blue black rock, and their speed and attack power have been increased by dozens of times.

Under the siege of eighteen stone puppets, the face of the Immortal Demon Lord was ashen, and the immortal demonic energy on his body was constantly being consumed. The wounds on his body were increasing. Every time he was hit by a stone puppet, he would roar in pain. However, the Immortal Demon Lord did not give up. There was a crazy light flashing in his eyes. He waved his giant claws with demonic energy, stubbornly resisted the stone puppets, and tried to break through the siege of the stone puppets.

Li Mu hid in the dark, silently observing the battle situation. He knew that although the power of the Immortal Demon Lord was strong, after these seven days of consumption, there was not much left. At this moment, it was the time to give him a fatal blow, and he must not be allowed to leave the trial array easily.

Li Mu took a deep breath and manipulated the nine substitute puppets to prepare for the attack. However, at this moment, the Immortal Demon Lord suddenly roared, and the demonic energy on his body suddenly surged, forming a black whirlwind, which swept the surrounding stone statue puppets and substitute puppets in.

Li Mu was shocked. He did not expect that the Immortal Demon Lord had such a powerful trump card, and tried to postpone the attack. However, the black whirlwind was too powerful, and several substitute puppets were swept in and lost contact instantly.

"I found you, the mouse who hid his head and showed his tail, finally showed up!"

The whirlwind of black demonic energy suddenly dissipated, and the Immortal Demon Lord walked out of it. The immortal demonic energy on his body was exhausted, but his eyes were shining with joy. Looking at the direction of 'Li Mu', a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Li Mu's heart tightened, and he took out the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, suspended it above his head, and exuded a sharp sword intent.

Seeing this scene, the Immortal Demon Lord laughed up to the sky, his laughter full of contempt: "Do you think you can compete with me with this Taoist weapon? Naive and ridiculous!"

Before he finished speaking, the Immortal Demon Lord sneered, waved his hands violently, and countless black demonic energy surged again, turning into countless sharp demonic blades, sweeping towards Li.

Li Mu's face was solemn, and he silently recited the formula in his heart, urging the power of Wanjian Mountain. Wanjian Mountain instantly burst into dazzling light, and countless sword energy rushed into the sky, colliding with the demonic blade of the Immortal Demon Lord.

The roar shook the earth, and the black demonic energy and endless sword energy intertwined to form a series of strong energy fluctuations. Li Mu stood in the center of the storm, but was protected by the sword energy released by Wanjian Mountain, and was temporarily unharmed.

Such a powerful Taoist weapon has such a powerful ability to protect the master.

Seeing this, the Immortal Demon Lord flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a stronger murderous intent.

If this child cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, he will become a big worry in the future!

A strong sense of crisis surged in the heart of the Immortal Demon Lord. He no longer hesitated, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. A more powerful demonic energy began to emerge from his body.

Li Mu felt the power fluctuations of the Immortal Demon Lord's killing move, and his heart sank. He pushed the substitute puppet's true essence to the extreme and completely merged with the power of Wanjian Mountain.

Wanjian Mountain released ten thousand spiritual swords, which merged with its body, shining brightly, and turned into a giant sword, emitting sharp sword energy, and in a flash, it slashed towards the Immortal Demon Lord.

The giant sword broke through the air, with a thunderous momentum, and rushed straight to the Immortal Demon Lord.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord. He put his hands together, and the demonic energy gathered crazily, turning into a huge black ball of light, which collided fiercely with the giant sword.

With a loud "bang", the whole space trembled. The moment the black magic ball collided with the giant sword, a brilliant light burst out, and the strong energy fluctuations spread out, tearing the surrounding ground into cracks.

With a "puff", Li Mu's body was severely damaged by this force. He retreated dozens of steps, and his body disintegrated and turned into pieces of wood, falling down.

The Immortal Demon Lord stood in the air, staring at Li Mu, knowing that it was just a substitute puppet, and the real main body had not yet appeared. He released his consciousness, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, the Immortal Demon Lord's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and his figure instantly rushed towards the disintegrated substitute puppet, reaching out to pick up a small green bead. At this moment, the green bead released endless suction.

With a "whoosh", the figure of the Immortal Demon Lord disappeared on the spot.

In the vast bamboo forest of the Painting World Treasure House, Li Mu stood in the air, his face as calm as water, accompanied by Xue'er, and Xiaowa and Chi Lian showed their true bodies on the left and right. They stared at the Immortal Demon Lord opposite with murderous intent.

"Hahaha, this is the cave treasure you hid. It's really good. It belongs to me." The arrogant laughter of the Immortal Demon Lord echoed in the bamboo forest. He was in a mess and was suppressed by the power of the treasure house as soon as he appeared, but his eyes flashed with greed and excitement. He looked around and his eyes finally fell on Li Mu opposite. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help the joy in his heart.

Finally found the location of this kid's real body. It's worth it that he spent 80% of his strength and staged a bitter drama. He deliberately exposed his flaws to lure Li Mu's substitute puppet to appear, and then tracked the location of the Painting World Treasure House, all in order to find Li Mu's real body, but it was all worth it.

"Can you trap me with this cave treasure? Today, I will let you see what the Demon Realm is!" The Immortal Demon Lord roared, and the demonic energy around him surged, like boiling dark magma, sweeping around.

Li Mu's face remained unchanged, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He quickly formed seals with both hands and injected spiritual power into the Painting World Treasure House with all his strength. Suddenly, the entire Painting World Treasure House surged into a mysterious and powerful force, and countless bamboo leaves suddenly fluttered up, turning into sharp green sword energy, and enveloped the Demon Realm of the Immortal Demon Lord.

"Hmph, a trivial trick!" The Immortal Demon Lord looked down on it, and as the demonic energy surged, he defeated those green sword energies one by one. However, he soon discovered that these sword energies seemed endless. Every time he defeated a batch, a new batch would emerge.

The Immortal Demon Lord finally realized that this cave treasure was not as simple as he had thought before. Its foundation in this space was extremely powerful and he could not easily shake it. However, the Immortal Demon Lord was a combined strongman after all. With a thought, he immediately used other skills.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from behind him. The next moment, a clone of the Immortal Demon Lord suddenly appeared.

"Be careful!" Xue'er exclaimed, releasing the Huanling Lingbao and performing illusion. At the same time, a red flame spurted out of Chi Lian's mouth and rushed straight to the Immortal Demon Lord. Xiao Wa also turned into a stream of light and attacked the Immortal Demon Lord from the side.

Facing these attacks, the Immortal Demon Lord didn't take them seriously at all. His face was ferocious. He only had Li Mu in his eyes and wanted to kill him. The immortal demon energy condensed into a huge black claw, with destructive power, and grabbed Li Mu's head. (End of this chapter)
