Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

In the depths of Lingxu Fudao, the giant lizard's eyes suddenly opened, emitting two red spiritual lights. Its body began to tremble violently, as if it was trying to break free from some kind of restraint. A strong pressure emanated from its body, causing the surrounding air to solidify.

Feeling this pressure, Li Mu stopped casting spells, frowned, looked into the depths of Lingxu Fudi, and sensed Xiao Wa's breath.

The next moment, Li Mu sensed Xiao Wa's current joy through the Yuling Qiyin, and then he found that the Yuling Qiyin he had planted on Xiao Wa's soul collapsed and was directly wiped out by a powerful force.

Li Mu took a deep breath and immediately understood that Xiao Wa had successfully completed the inheritance trial and must be accepting the inheritance at this moment.

It is worthy of being the inheritance of the Taoist Lord. Only a process of passing on the law directly wiped out his Yuling Qiyin. It is unknown what kind of inheritance Xiao Wa accepted.

Li Mu's mood was complicated and difficult to understand. He was pleased with Xiao Wa's success, but also felt a little reluctant for losing the soul bond with Xiao Wa. However, he knew that this was the only way for Xiao Wa to reach a higher realm, and he could only silently bless him here.

Besides, Xiao Wa was raised by him from childhood, and he treated him well. Even without the bond of the Yuling Seal, the friendship between them would not be reduced in the slightest.

Xue'er also felt the strong pressure, walked to Li Mu's side, and asked nervously: "Brother Li, that is Xiao Wa's breath! Is it okay!"

"It's okay, Xiao Wa should have passed the inheritance trial, we just wait for it." Li Mu patted Xue'er's hand and smiled to comfort her.

Not long after, there was another fluctuation in the depths of Lingxu Blessed Land, and a stronger breath gradually spread. This breath was completely different from the previous pressure. It was full of vitality and vigor, like the spring when all things revived.

Li Mu and Xue'er looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes, knowing that this was a sign that Xiao Wa had successfully accepted the inheritance.

Then, a bright light rose from the depths of Lingxu Blessed Land and rushed into the sky. .

In the light, Xiao Wa's figure gradually appeared. It was no longer the same as before. It was black jade in color. Its body became larger, its scales flashed with deep light, and its eyes were as bright as stars, revealing endless majesty and power.

Xiao Wa was driving a red sand cloud, his eyes flashed with excitement. Seeing Li Mu was very excited, he couldn't wait to land in front of them.

It quickly transformed into a human form and appeared in front of Li Mu and Xue'er with amazing changes. It had a burly figure, smooth and thick muscle lines on its limbs, showing a strong sense of power. It was wearing a set of armor forged from brown fine rock. Xiao Wa was scattered with an extremely strong and heavy aura, like a towering mountain, standing tall and exuding awe-inspiring majesty.

"Master, I have obtained the inheritance of the Taoist Master!" Xiao Wa reported to Li Mu with joy on his face, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Well, what kind of inheritance is it?" Xue'er looked at Xiao Wa and asked curiously.

Xiao Wa opened his mouth, but said nothing. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "This, that, the law cannot be passed on lightly. I, I can't say it."

Li Mu smiled slightly. With his innate magical power-recognizing all spirits, he had already seen Xiao Wa's current state. The inheritance Xiao Wa received was extraordinary and could not be described simply in words. So, he quickly gestured, "This law cannot be passed on orally. You don't need to tell us. Just practice well on your own."

After a pause, Li Mu's expression became serious. He looked at Xiao Wa solemnly and told him, "This Tao Lord inheritance has brought you a lot of benefits. I can clearly feel that your cultivation and aptitude have been greatly improved. Now, it's almost time for you to cross the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. You need to be fully prepared."

Xiao Wa nodded, with a firm light flashing in his eyes, and understood the meaning of Li Mu's words.

"In the future, you should practice well here and guard this seal. At the same time, I have cultivated a piece of spiritual field here and I will give it to you to guard. They are planted in the Jiuxu spiritual soil and do not need your care." Li Mu looked at Xiao Wa and continued to instruct.

"Understood! I will take good care of them!" Xiao Wa nodded solemnly and promised. After being with Li Mu for many years, no one knows the importance of those spiritual plants to Li Mu better than them. It must protect them.

Not long after, Li Mu took Xue'er and Chilian Fire Phoenix, bid farewell to Xiao Wa, and left Lingxu Fudao.

The appearance of the Immortal Demon Lord caused many high-level cultivators in the Donghuan Sea to fall, causing great panic. Therefore, there were fewer cultivators landing on the island. However, there were powerful formations and restrictions everywhere on the island. Without the formation master to break the restrictions and lead the way, they were destined to have no gains.

After leaving Lingxu Fudao, Li Mu and his party chose a relatively hidden route, left the Donghuan Sea in a low-key manner, and drove the Earth Yuan Spirit Ship back to Zhongzhou Spirit Domain.

In the deepest part of the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains are like a huge natural barrier, guarding those forgotten ancient secrets. Deep in the mountains, where lava is surging, volcanoes are everywhere, and fire spirits gather, a demon palace stands tall, exuding a gloomy and weird atmosphere.

Suddenly, a terrifying breath erupted from the Demon Palace Hall, as if the cracks in the abyss were quietly opened, and a powerful and unknown dark force descended. This power is so powerful that it changes the color of the sky and the earth, and the stars in the sky tremble under the oppression of this power.

In the center of the Demon Palace Hall, there is an altar full of demonic aura. The altar is made of stacked white ghosts, engraved with strange runes and patterns, and filled with terrifying demonic aura. At this moment, the altar is in a state of activation, and a strong and indissoluble demonic aura is rapidly gathering above the altar, forming a huge black vortex.

As the demonic aura gathers more and more, it finally turns into a black beam of light, rushing straight into the sky, breaking a gap above the altar, and a huge black shadow gradually appears. The black demon shadow is like a demon god descending to the world, several feet tall, with two horns on his head, and his eyes flashing with cold and cruel light.

With the arrival of the immortal demon god's clone, the demon lords and demon generals who knelt down in the Demon Palace Hall were shrouded in a terrifying aura, trembling with fear, unable to suppress it.

In the center of the Demon Palace Hall, there is a solemn and strange altar, exuding a terrifying demonic aura. This altar was not built of ordinary stones, but was made of countless bones piled up, as if these bones themselves were part of the altar, full of gloom and evil.

The altar was engraved with dense and strange runes and ghost patterns, flickering in the darkness, and filled with terrifying demonic energy.

At this moment, the altar was in a state of being activated. A strong, almost solidified demonic energy gathered rapidly above the altar, forming a huge black vortex. This black vortex was like a portal to another world, swallowing everything around it, and constantly condensing and compressing the demonic energy.

As the demonic energy continued to gather, it eventually turned into a sharp black beam, rushing straight into the sky, breaking a deep gap above the altar. With the appearance of the gap in time and space, an even more terrifying demonic energy was released from the gap in space.

Then, a huge black shadow emerged from the demonic energy that rushed out of the gap. It was several feet tall, with two horns on its head, wearing a black robe, and its eyes flashing with cold and cruel light. It was the incarnation of the Immortal Demon God. It seemed to walk out of the abyss with the will and power to destroy everything.

With the arrival of the incarnation of the Immortal Demon God, the entire Demon Palace Hall was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere. The three Demon Lords, dozens of Demon Ancestors, and Demon Generals who were kneeling in the hall waiting were all shocked by this breath at this moment. Their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and their eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

"Welcome to the Lord Demon God! Command the Ten Thousand Worlds!"

In the Demon Palace Hall, the three Demon Lords were the first to wake up from their fear. They shouted in unison. Although their voices were a little trembling, they still tried to maintain the majesty of being Demon Lords. Dozens of Demon Ancestors followed closely behind, and their voices gathered into a torrent, echoing in the hall, as if they wanted to use this majestic momentum to dispel the suffocating terror.

In the Demon Palace, with the deafening shouts, a solemn and awe-inspiring atmosphere spread like a tide.

The three Demon Lords were the first to prostrate themselves on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the cold ground, as if even looking up at the Immortal Demon God clone was a blasphemy to their identities. Dozens of Demon Ancestors followed closely behind, their bodies bound by invisible forces, unable to move, and could only express their awe of the Demon God in the most humble manner.

The Immortal Demon God clone stood quietly at the top of the hall, his figure shrouded in thick darkness, and the terrifying aura emanating from him swept through the entire hall like a storm. His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he could see through everything and reach the deepest fear in people's hearts.

"A bunch of trash, you can't even do a little thing, and you're dead! What's the point of keeping you!" The Immortal Demon God clone glanced coldly at the kneeling demon cultivators, his voice cold and ruthless, as if from the underworld, with endless majesty and anger.

The Immortal Demon Lord was his patron. His sudden death made the Immortal Demon God feel an indescribable anger and disappointment.

"Tian Jue fell so easily!" The voice of the Immortal Demon God was like ten thousand years of ice, low and full of power, and every word shook the hearts of the people like thunder.

The voice of the Immortal Demon God echoed in the hall, and endless murderous intent rushed to the face, questioning the three demon lords: "His death is not only his personal failure, but also a shame for you so-called demon cultivators! How can you have the face to appear in front of me?"

"Master Demon, it's unjust!" Shadow Demon Lord spoke first, kowtowed respectfully several times, and explained in a trembling voice: "This matter was made by Master Tian Jue. He insisted on dealing with the incarnation cultivator himself. We were unable to dissuade him, which led to this disaster!"

"Master Demon, please understand!" Soul Devourer The Demon Lord immediately agreed, his voice full of panic, and said: "Tian Jue insisted on his own way and wanted to divide the work with us. We were responsible for restraining the sword cultivators of Xuantian Sword Sect, while he wanted to challenge the sword cultivator of Huashen alone. We thought he was powerful and would definitely return victorious, but who knew... he was so vulnerable, defeated again and again, and finally died because of it."

"Master Demon, this is the situation, and we are not lying at all!" The Blood Refining Demon Lord anxiously explained, but Master Demon has always been strict, and their explanations are probably useless.

Facing the cold eyes of Master Demon, the three Demon Lords could only lower their heads and wait for his judgment.

The eyes of the Immortal Demon God were like a sharp sword, trying to see through their lies. Soon, he frowned slightly, and his eyes swept back and forth across the faces of the three Demon Lords, roughly confirming that what the three said was mostly true.

However, the unexpected death of the Immortal Demon Lord still made the Immortal Demon God feel extremely dissatisfied and angry. If they had cooperated with each other and stopped the Immortal Demon Lord from acting on his own, this would not have been the outcome.

"Oh? Did Tian Jue act on his own initiative?" The figure of the Immortal Demon God was like thunder, looking at the three demon lords coldly and questioning them sternly. "Do you think that you can escape my punishment by putting the blame on a fallen person?"

"Don't dare!"

"No, don't dare... We are willing to accept the blame!"

"Master Demon God, spare my life, let me keep my useful body and make meritorious contributions while guilty!"

The three demon lords were frightened by the words of the Immortal Demon God's clone. Knowing that Master Demon God was not so easy to fool, they all lowered their heads and begged for mercy in trembling voices.

The Immortal Demon God's clone smiled coldly, he slowly raised his hand, and a powerful demonic energy began to condense in his hand. This demonic energy spun like a black whirlwind, releasing a terrifying breath that made the entire hall tremble.

The demon cultivators were like meat on a chopping board, holding their breath and waiting for a terrible punishment to fall.

However, just when the demonic energy was about to explode, the Immortal Demon God's clone suddenly stopped. He took a breath and tried to absorb all the demonic energy in the hall into his body.

The Immortal Demon God was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Since you still know how to admit your guilt, I will give you one last chance."

"Master Demon God, we are willing to go through fire and water and make meritorious contributions!"

The three demon lords and the demon cultivators all raised their heads, their eyes full of expectation.

"I want you to find out the details of that god-transforming cultivator, and bring him to me regardless of whether he is dead or alive." The Immortal Demon God looked down at the three demon lords and said in a deep voice.

"If you can succeed, then I can forgive your previous mistakes. If you fail again..." The Immortal Demon God did not continue, but the demon cultivators knew that what awaited them would be a punishment more terrible than death.

"Yes! Master Demon God, we will do our best to complete the task!" The three demon lords said in unison, their voices full of firmness and determination.

The Immortal Demon God nodded and waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

The demon cultivators stood up and left the hall as if they had been pardoned.

In the hall, the Immortal Demon God's clone still stood quietly, looking at the northern sky, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
