Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

In an instant, the spiritual veins of Tianyue Peak disappeared quickly like prey swallowed by a giant mouth. However, at this moment, the world seemed to be shaken by an invisible force. The spiritual energy of the world around Tianyue Peak, which was originally peaceful and tranquil, fell into a frenzy in an instant, and the world changed color.

The originally clear blue sky quickly became gloomy, and thick dark clouds rolled and gathered like rolling black smoke. The wind roared and shuttled through the valley, carrying endless anger and resentment.

The beasts in the forest felt that the end of the world was coming, and they roared in fear. Birds circled overhead and made shrill screams. The whole forest fell into chaos and anxiety.

A terrifying pressure surged from the sky above Tianyue Peak. Countless thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and the violent spiritual power became sticky and heavy.

Li Mu was suspended in the air, looking up at the sudden thick thunderclouds, frowning, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

As the treasure of the cave heaven, the Painting World Treasure House has been spying on stealing the spiritual veins of this world since it came from a domain, thus attracting the will of the heaven in this world. Just like a thief who sneaks into someone else's house and steals valuables, once discovered by the owner, he will inevitably suffer severe punishment.

However, the Painting World Treasure House did not seem to be shaken by the crisis in front of it. It was like a bear greedy for honey, not afraid of the tail needle of honey, and still devoted itself to extracting the spiritual veins of Tianyue Peak.

I saw a gap in the shape of a black hole appearing in front of it, emitting powerful spiritual light, aiming at the roots of the spiritual veins of Tianyue Peak, and continuously absorbing it into the body, as if a greedy dragon was devouring the river of life.

As the Painting World Treasure House frantically devoured the spiritual veins of Tianyue Peak, the terrifying pressure became stronger and stronger, and the thunderclouds over Tianyue Peak became denser and denser, rolling like boiling water, and the thunderclouds gathered rapidly.

The spiritual veins of Tianyue Peak were greatly lost, and the mountain body began to tremble violently. Rocks rolled down, and the ground shook. The originally green forest gradually lost its vitality and became dry and yellow, as if it had been drained of its vitality.

Above Tianyue Peak, the dense dark clouds had formed a huge vortex, with rolling thunder and flashing lightning, as if the end of the world was coming, extremely terrifying.

Suddenly, with a "crack", the sky suddenly brightened, and a silver thunder rushed out of the thundercloud, like a giant dragon descending to the world, carrying the power of destroying the world, and rushed straight to the Painting World Treasure House.

The last time it dealt with the Immortal Demon Lord, the Painting World Treasure House made great contributions, but it also suffered heavy damage. Now it was hit by the thunder tribulation again, which was undoubtedly worse.

Li Mu would not sit idly by. Before the tribulation thunder fell, he took out a tribulation spiritual tool from the Nine Treasures and Six Pearls, a spherical net spiritual tool-the lightning ball, and quickly sacrificed it, instantly wrapping the Painting World Treasure House in it.

This lightning ball was carefully crafted by Li Mu based on the "Faraday cage" effect. Its surface flashed with silver metallic light, which quickly magnified dozens of times, firmly protecting the Painting World Treasure House in the center.

Whenever the thunder struck the Tribulation Ball, it could only arouse a dazzling electric light, but could not touch the Painting World Treasure House inside. No matter how fierce the tribulation thunder was, the lightning ball always adhered to its duties and provided solid protection for the Painting World Treasure House.

However, the will of heaven did not seem to be satisfied with attacking the Painting World Treasure House. It noticed Li Mu's protection of the Painting World Treasure House, so it turned its target to Li Mu himself.

An invisible thunder dragon emerged from the thundercloud, its eyes flashing with lightning, and locked onto Li Mu tightly, making him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Li Mu was shocked. He understood that this was a warning from the will of heaven to him, as if telling him that if he continued to protect the Painting World Treasure House, he would also become the target of the will of heaven.

Facing the warning of the will of heaven, Li Mu was silent for a moment and resolutely prepared to resist to the end.

Cultivating immortals is an act against the will of heaven. There is nothing to be afraid of!

A trace of determination flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He quickly formed seals with his hands, quickly activated the Nine Treasures, and summoned another lightning ball to protect himself. At the same time, he controlled two lightning balls at the same time, output spiritual power, and strengthened the protection of the two lightning balls.

The thunder tribulation of the will of heaven is indeed difficult to match, but the Painting World Treasure House is equally important to Li Mu, and he must not sit idly by and watch it get damaged.

Li Mu's actions angered the will of heaven. The thunder dragon roared out of the thundercloud, carrying the power of destroying the world, and bombarded the Painting World Treasure House, and Li Mu was enveloped in it.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the thunder dragon hit the tribulation ball fiercely, bursting out a dazzling light, Li Mu only felt a huge force coming, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.

However, this was only a test of the will of heaven. Next, there should be more violent thunder strikes waiting for him.

Sure enough, before Li Mu could catch his breath, the second, third, fourth, and..., sturdy thunder dragons emerged from the thundercloud one after another, bombarding him and the Painting World Treasure House.

For a moment, the thunder rumbled and the lightning flashed on Tianyue Peak, becoming the center of the Thunder Lake. In this center, Li Mu and the Tribulation Ball jointly guarded the Painting World Treasure House and resisted the attacks of the Heavenly Stage.

Not long after, the two lightning balls were completely melted under the bombardment of the endless thunder of the Thunder Tribulation, and turned into a little bit of spiritual light that dissipated in the air.

Li Mu did not think about it, and summoned the Taoist sword of Wanjian Mountain to resist the Thunder Tribulation.

The next moment, a green hill appeared in front of Li Mu, magnified thousands of times, and the thunder bombarded the mountain, which was difficult to shake.

At the same time, the ten thousand spiritual swords rooted in Wanjian Mountain seemed to be enraged by the thunder, and they kept making a buzzing sound. They were like awakened dragons, breaking free from the mountain and turning into brilliant sword energy, rushing straight into the sky.

A trace of determination flashed across Li Mu's eyes. He took a deep breath and used all his energy to bless Wanjian Mountain, almost pouring all his energy into this attack.

As Li Mu's energy surged, Wanjian Mountain shook violently, and the ten thousand spiritual swords were given life. Under the guidance of Wanjian Mountain, they danced lightly in the air and intertwined into a huge sword net.

Li Mu drove Wanjian Mountain and laid the Xuantian Wanjian Formation, preparing to destroy the thunderclouds with the power of the sword formation.

Once the Xuantian Wanjian Formation was activated, it condensed Li Mu's will and quickly gathered together to form a huge sword dragon, which made the raging thunder seem to tremble.

Sensing Li Mu's rebellious behavior, the will of heaven was furious, and the power of thunder became more violent. The huge thundercloud rolled, releasing more terrifying thunder than before. Silver dragons coiled in the sky and gathered rapidly.

Li Mu's eyes were firm. Facing the wrath of the will of heaven, he was not afraid. He exerted the power of Wanjian Mountain to the extreme. The sword net became tighter and the sword energy became sharper.

"Cut!" Li Mu shouted loudly, and his voice resounded through the sky. Ten thousand swords were fired at the same time, turning into dazzling sword lights and rushing straight into the thundercloud.

In an instant, countless sword energies and thunders collided violently in the air, bursting out dazzling light and deafening roars.

However, the thunder of the will of heaven seemed endless, constantly bombarding the Xuantian Wanjian Formation. Li Mu felt the increasing pressure from the will of heaven, but he did not retreat, but instead inspired a stronger fighting spirit.

Sword Qi emerged from the Ten Thousand Swords, condensing Li Mu's firm will and engaging in a fierce battle with the Tribulation Thunder.

As time went on, Li Mu gradually gained the upper hand. The Ten Thousand Swords were sharp and the sword Qi was unmatched. They shuttled back and forth in the thunderclouds, like agility, and the sharp fish danced in the storm, stirring up the thunderclouds.

Li Mu was suspended in the air, his Five Elements Dao body was undoubtedly revealed, with colorful light flowing on his body. He concentrated on controlling the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and guiding the confrontation between the Ten Thousand Swords and the Tribulation Thunder.

In the thunderclouds, thunder dragons roared, carrying the power of destroying the world, intercepting the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords, constantly colliding and stirring with the sword Qi, and the violent thunder Yuan was madly destroying, angrily venting its power.

As time went on, although the Tribulation Thunder in the thunderclouds was still fierce, under the invasion of the Xuantian Ten Thousand Swords Sword Formation, their offensive began to gradually become messy, and the Thunder Tribulation showed a trace of fatigue.

Seeing this, Li Mu was delighted, knowing that the balance of victory was tilting towards him.

However, just when Li Mu thought he was about to succeed, the will of heaven did not seem to give up. The scattered thunderclouds gathered again under the blessing of the will of heaven, and the sound of thunder became more dense, as if foreshadowing that a more powerful thunder tribulation was about to come.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu's face showed a solemn expression. Without any retreat, he hurriedly took out a large number of high-level elixirs from the storage space, swallowed them all into his stomach, and tried his best to operate the Soul Devouring Body-nourishing Technique to try to restore the true essence that had been consumed violently before.

The elixirs melted in Li Mu's body, turning into pure energy that flowed into his meridians and dantian, nourishing his body.

Li Mu felt that his strength was gradually recovering, but he also knew in his heart that relying on these elixirs alone was far from enough. As a seventh-level Taoist soldier, Wanjianshan is extremely powerful, but if he wants to continue to manipulate it to exert its full power, even if he cultivates the five elements of yin and yang, he still feels powerless.

At this moment, the Painting World Treasure House devoured the spiritual vein of Tianyue Peak, and the spirit of the weapon appeared, and its spirituality increased greatly, turning into a colorful dragon. The colorful dragon circled and danced in the sky, emitting brilliant light.

The colorful dragon circled above Li Mu's head, and its scales were shining with brilliant light, as if it contained endless mysteries. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of pure spiritual power, which poured down like a waterfall, covering Li Mu.

Li Mu was refreshed and immediately felt the power of this spiritual power. It was like a sweet spring, quickly nourishing his exhausted meridians and dantian. The true essence in his body recovered rapidly under the nourishment of this spiritual power, and it was even several times stronger than before.

Li Mu's eyes lit up. The feedback from the spirit of the Painting World Treasure House gave him a great boost of confidence. The quality of the true essence increased several times. In terms of technology, he was confident that he could destroy this small thundercloud with the Taoist weapon of Wanjianshan.

Li Mu took a deep breath of the essence of heaven and earth, concentrated his mind, and danced his fingers quickly in the void, creating a wonderful resonance with the Ten Thousand Swords. He urged the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain with all his strength, guiding the Ten Thousand Swords to weave into the Xuantian Ten Thousand Swords Formation again.

This time, Li Mu poured his true essence into the sword formation without reservation, which made the power of the Xuantian Ten Thousand Swords Formation unprecedentedly enhanced.

Under the nourishment of the powerful true essence, the ten thousand spiritual swords exuded a dazzling light, the sword energy was vertical and horizontal, sharp and unmatched, and the light was strong enough to illuminate the entire thundercloud, making the originally dark sky bright.

Facing the thunderclouds that gathered again and the more intensive thunder, Li Mu's eyes flashed with a firm light, knowing that the next sword would be his ultimate duel with the will of heaven. The success or failure of this sword would not only affect his life and death, but also determine the fate of the Painting World Treasure House.

Li Mu held the long sword tightly and stared at the thunderclouds in the sky with full concentration.

The thunderclouds in the sky brewed to the critical moment, gradually forming a dark vortex, emitting a heart-pounding pressure, the thunder rumbled, deafening, as if to submerge the world in endless roars.

Facing the terrifying thunderclouds, Li Mu remained unmoved, and he had only one belief in his heart - to cut through the thunderclouds.

"Cut!" Li Mu shouted loudly, his voice full of determination.

As his shout fell, thousands of swords rang out, as if thousands of dragons were going out to sea, with a huge momentum. Ten thousand spiritual swords quickly gathered in the air and merged into a huge thousand-foot giant sword, with sword energy like a rainbow, pointing directly at the thunderclouds in the sky.

The thousand-foot giant sword instantly pierced through the thunderclouds, rushed into the thunderclouds, and chopped wildly, emitting huge and sharp sword energy, as if cutting a pancake, and chopped wildly at the thunderclouds.

Accompanied by the deafening roar and the burst of lightning, the terrifying vortex thunderclouds were gradually split apart by the countless slashes of the giant sword, and a huge hole appeared.

The hole in the thundercloud was getting bigger and bigger. The gathered thundercloud soon became scattered and the cracks expanded rapidly. Finally, the whole thundercloud was torn into countless pieces. The power of the will of heaven was unable to continue to gather the thundercloud. The thunder began to dissipate at this moment.

As the thundercloud dissipated, the sky regained its tranquility again. The sun shone through the clouds and fell on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the mountain range that had been ravaged by the thunder.

Li Mu was suspended in the air, panting, pale, and his true essence was consumed.

However, looking at the record he created, Li Mu couldn't help showing a victorious smile on his face, knowing that he had successfully resisted the heavenly calamity and protected the treasure house of the painting world.

Li Mu smiled slightly and gently patted the Wanjian Mountain beside him. This mysterious mountain seemed to be in tune with his mind, and trembled slightly with his mind.

A sword energy quickly spread out from the Wanjian Mountain, like a huge net, covering the ten thousand spiritual swords in the sky.

Under the guidance of this sword energy, the ten thousand spirit swords all made clear sword sounds, like thousands of birds returning to their nests, rushing towards the direction of Wanjian Mountain. Each spirit sword exuded a dazzling light, and they drew beautiful arcs in the air, and finally inserted steadily into Wanjian Mountain.

With the return of the last spirit sword, Wanjian Mountain regained its calm again.

Li Mu put away Wanjian Mountain and his eyes fell on the spirit of the Painting World Treasure House.

The spirit of the Painting World Treasure House sensed the dissipation of the thunderclouds, and flew around Li Mu happily. After extracting a whole top-grade spirit vein, it was rejuvenated with new vitality, and the colorful scales flashed charming light in the sun, as if telling endless joy.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and his innate magical power-the identification of all spirits allowed him to clearly sense that the Painting World Treasure House had entered a state of rapid recovery at this moment, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. (End of this chapter)
