Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The leader of the Netherworld Sect, Gao Hong, frowned, understanding that this was a rare opportunity, but it also came with great risks. If there was a slight mistake, the entire Netherworld Sect would be ruined. He had to act cautiously and pondered for a moment. In his heart The decision has been made.

"If this operation can be completed, it will indeed be a rare opportunity for our Netherworld Sect. If successful, we will not only obtain a weapon refining saint master, but also weaken the strength of Xuantian Sword Sect and pave the way for our future expansion. . However, as everyone said, this action is extremely risky, and if you are not careful, it will lead to a full-scale counterattack by Xuantian Sword Sect."

"Everyone, you all know what it means to offend the Xuantian Sword Sect. This matter is extremely risky. It is not advisable to act rashly for the time being. We will first find out the situation of Daojun Xuantian and Daojun Qinghong." Gao Hong looked at the faces of the elders. He swept up and said in a deep voice.

After Gao Hong's words fell, the hall suddenly fell into silence, and all the elders lowered their heads in thought.

"What the sect master said is absolutely true." An elder spoke slowly, broke the silence, and agreed: "Xuantian Sword Sect Master Xuantian, Master Qinghong's strength is unfathomable, and there are seven sword masters and thirteen sword masters. Elder, you have deep knowledge. If you act rashly, you will easily fall into passivity. It is better to send someone to inquire secretly to understand the current situation of Daojun Xuantian and Daojun Qinghong before making a decision. "

"The sect master is far-sighted and prudent!" Another elder echoed: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Only by first understanding the situation of Taoist Xuantian and Taoist Qinghong can we formulate a more thorough plan."

…

Soon, Gao Hong's proposal was approved by all the elders. Even if they had objections, they chose to compromise after careful consideration.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's act according to the plan." Gao Hong stood up and said with firm eyes, "Elder Ge, Elder Chen, Elder Duan, the three of you will lead the Netherworld secret guards and follow me to Jiuyou to inquire. The situation of the two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect.”

"Yes, Sect Master!" Elder Ge, Elder Chen, and Elder Duan agreed in unison, knowing the importance of this mission.

"Remember, you must be careful during this trip and don't alert the snake." Gao Hong emphasized again, watching the three people solemnly explain: "The land of Jiuyou is full of dangers. We must not only beware of Xuantian and Qinghong, but also beware of Jiuyou. Those local forces.”

"Don't worry, Sect Master, we will live up to your trust." Elder Ge replied calmly, with a firm light shining in his eyes. Elders Chen and Duan also echoed in unison, saying that they would go all out to complete this mission.

The three of them immediately left the hall, quickly summoned the elite forces of the Netherworld Guards, and prepared to set off for Jiuyou.

"Elder Bao and Elder Luan, I have asked you two to take your belongings to the auction of Wanbao Pavilion, and then try to find ways to make a good friend of Master Li. It is best to coax him to come to our sect as a guest. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't do anything to him first. This person will take action and wait for information from Elder Ge and others."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Bao Yong and Luan Huilan responded in unison.

…

The Netherworld Sect's senior officials acted quickly, anxious to participate in the auction of Wanbao Pavilion, for those Taoist weapons, and for Li Mu, who was even more capable of refining Taoist weapons.

This scene was almost simultaneously staged in the four realms of the spirit world and many forces in the outer realm. Sects, aristocratic families, families, and even the mysterious organizations hiding in the dark all began to take action.

The weaker forces did not dare to have any thoughts about the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sword Sect. However, those forces who were slightly inferior to Xuantian Sword Sect or had strong ambitions almost took advantage of the two Xuantian Sword Sect. When a Taoist prince was trapped in Jiuyou, he developed a strong interest in Li Mu, the weapon-refining master who could refine Taoist weapons.

…

In the Zhongzhou Lingyu, the Taiyi Sect was subordinate to the Xuantian Sword Sect, and it had always aspired to be on equal footing with it, or even surpass its status. Now, the two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect are trapped in Jiuyou, which is a golden opportunity for Taiyi Sect.

Xu Wen, the deputy sect leader of Taiyi Sect, immediately summoned the elders of the sect to discuss countermeasures after learning that Li Mu had refined several Taoist weapons for Wanbao Pavilion and sent them to the auction.

"Hu Yiming, you have known Elder Li the longest." Xu Wen looked at Hu Yiming sitting on the right and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think we have a chance to win him over to the Taiyi Sect?"

Hu Yiming stroked his long beard, frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Li Mu is very emotional and likes to be alone. His cooperation with Wanbao Pavilion is limited to refining Tao weapons. He joined the Xuantian Sword Sect. He has been highly valued for more than a hundred years, and it may be difficult for him to change his family. "

"What if we lure him with big profits?" Xu Wen asked unwillingly.

Hu Yiming thought for a while, then continued to shake his head and said: "Every piece of Taoist weapons refined by Li Mu is priceless, and the reward given by Wanbao Pavilion is already sky-high. What's more, as a holy master of weapon refining, he is famous all over the world, and he has no shortage of them. If you use money as a inducement, it may not work."

Hearing this, Xu Wen frowned deeper. He was well aware of Li Mu's ability to refine weapons. If he could join him, the Taiyi Sect's strength would be greatly increased, and it might even surpass the Xuantian Sword Sect. However, Li Mu's ability and The background troubled him.

"Then...should we take other measures?" Xu Wen's voice revealed a bit of harshness.

Hu Yiming was taken aback and quickly dissuaded him: "Deputy sect leader, think twice! Although Li Mu has a withdrawn personality, he is extremely accomplished in weapon refining, and he also has Xuantian Sword Sect and Wanbao Pavilion behind him. If we take action rashly, Once it fails, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from Xuantian Sword Sect, and Taiyi Sect will fall into a situation of eternal disaster!"

Xu Wen took a deep breath and knew that what Hu Yiming said was true. Although Taiyi Sect was powerful, it did not have enough confidence to be an enemy of Xuantian Sword Sect. However, he watched helplessly as a weapon-refining saint master like Li Mu fell into Xuantian Sword Sect. The hands of Tianjian Sect continue to strengthen the foundation of Xuantian Sword Sect, but how can he be willing to do so?

"Then... what should we do?" Xu Wen's voice was full of helplessness: "I failed to invite him to Taiyi Sect in the early years. I really missed a huge opportunity!"

Hearing this, Hu Yiming smiled bitterly, wasn't he? He had already invited him to join the sect in advance, but in the end, he was intercepted by the Xuantian Sword Sect.

No one expected that Li Mu would grow so quickly. In less than two hundred years, the success rate of refining Taoist weapons was so high, which was beyond Hu Yiming's imagination.

"Perhaps... we can try to establish a deeper connection with him. We don't have to force him to join Taiyi Sect, we just need to get his help when needed." Hu Yiming suggested.

"No, if he still stays in Xuantian Sword Sect, the gap between us and Xuantian Sword Sect will become wider and wider." Xu Wen flatly rejected Hu Yiming's proposal, his eyes shining with unwillingness and determination: "We A more direct strategy is needed to ensure that this Li Mu can be used by our sect."

The last time they fought against the Immortal Demon God in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm, several sword elders from the Xuantian Sword Sect each had a Taoist weapon, and the sword array they used together killed the Immortal Demon God at the level of the Tao Lord. , not to mention, Li Mu is not only good at refining weapons, but is also outstanding in the art of forming formations. The combination of weapons and weapons can exert great power in his hands.

If he is allowed to continue to stay in Xuantian Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect will never be able to compete with him. Xu Wen's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he understood that he must use all means to get this person, or even destroy him. , he cannot be allowed to continue to increase the foundation of Xuantian Sword Sect.

"Perhaps we can start with this person's weaknesses." Xu Wen spoke slowly, his voice full of determination, "Since he values ​​emotions, we should start with his relatives, friends or disciples to find his weaknesses."

"Sect Master, is this too risky? If Xuantian Sword Sect discovers us, we...!"

"Yes! Even if the two Dao Lords Xuantian and Qinghong cannot come back in a short time, the sword masters of the Xuantian Sword Sect are not easy to mess with!"

…

Hearing this, all the elders were startled. Oppositions came one after another. They looked at each other with shock on their faces. They were all obviously afraid of Xuantian Sword Sect's majestic sword power.

"I know what you are worried about, but the two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect here are trapped in Jiuyou, and other forces will definitely take advantage of this to add insult to injury. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss this time, we will be suppressed by Xuantian Sword Sect forever. " Xu Wen's voice was firm and powerful, and he continued: "Our Taiyi Sect is not without the ability to fight, but we just lack an opportunity. Now, the opportunity is in front of us, as long as we can successfully win over this person and use his weapon refining. The techniques and formation techniques are at our disposal, and it won’t take long for us to be able to compete with the Xuantian Sword Sect.”

Xu Wen looked around with a burning gaze, stared at the elders and said solemnly: "Risks and opportunities coexist. If we are timid, Taiyi Sect will never be able to rise."

"Sect Master, what's going on with the two Dao Lords of the Xuantian Sword Sect, do you know the details?" Hu Yiming looked at Xu Wen, with some doubts in his eyes, and asked with concern.

Xu Wen nodded slightly, with a solemn look on his face, and introduced: "The Land of Nine Netherworlds is a forgotten forbidden land. It has been full of mystery and danger since ancient times. The Land of Nine Netherworlds is the deepest place between heaven and earth. In the void, surrounded by endless darkness and chaos, only a few monks can glimpse a corner of it. It is rumored that the Nine Nether is the only secret realm that leads to the upper world, and the Tao is the root path. "

"The space there is extremely distorted, and the speed of time is also very different from the outside world. There may even be portals to other worlds. There are often strange creatures in the Nine Netherworlds. They may be condensed from the energy of chaos. Or they may have traveled from other worlds and are powerful and unpredictable.”

"The two Dao Lords of Xuantian Sword Sect entered Jiuyou this time to find the Dao root that can break through to the next realm. However, they unexpectedly encountered powerful creatures in the Jiuyou land and were trapped there. "

"The creatures in the Land of Nine Netherworlds have unimaginable power. They can control the energy of chaos and perform all kinds of weird and unpredictable spells. Although the two Tao Lords are powerful, they have been greatly affected in the Land of Nine Netherworlds. Due to the limitations, it cannot exert its full strength.”

"What's even more frightening is that there is a strange power called 'Breath of the Netherworld' in the land of Jiuyou. This power can corrode the souls of monks and make them gradually become crazy and murderous. In Jiuyou The longer you stay in this place, the more serious the erosion will be from the 'breath of the netherworld'."

"Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and take action as soon as possible. Once the two Dao Lords escape from the Nine Netherlands, the Xuantian Sword Sect's strength will greatly increase, and our Taiyi Sect will never be able to turn around again."

After Xu Wen finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a brief silence. The elders looked solemn, obviously shocked by the mystery and danger of the Nine Netherlands. They knew that this was a major decision concerning the future destiny of Taiyi Sect and must be considered carefully.

Hu Yiming took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Sect Master, this opportunity is indeed not to be missed, but Xuantian Sword Sect has only two Dao Lords and several sword masters left, and the sword elders are not easy to mess with!"

Hearing this, a stern look flashed in Xu Wen's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of his old rivals, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen. What's more, Xuantian Sword Sect has mastered a set of sword formations to restrain Dao Lord.

Xu Wen nodded slightly, understanding the concerns of the elders. He said in a deep voice: "What Elder Hu said is absolutely true. Xuantian Sword Sect has a profound foundation and cannot be easily shaken by our own power. But because of this, we need to unite other forces. , to deal with this situation together.”

"Join other forces, sect leader, what do you mean?" Hu Yiming was stunned and asked with concern.

"Several sects in the Northern Territory, such as Tianshuang Sword Sect, Zixia Immortal Sect, and Qianxianhui, although these sects are not as old as Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect, their strength cannot be underestimated, and they all have great ambitions. There is dissatisfaction and fear towards the Xuantian Sword Sect. The Xuantian Sword Sect has been operating in the Northern Territory for thousands of years, which has put a lot of pressure on the sect. "

"If we can unite these sects to fight against the Xuantian Sword Sect, they will definitely cooperate, and our chances of winning will be greatly increased." Xu Wen looked at Hu Yiming and said firmly.

A flash of understanding flashed in Hu Yiming's eyes. Although the sects in the Northern Territory were not as powerful as Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect, their strength could not be ignored, not to mention that they had long-standing grudges with Xuantian Sword Sect.

"Sect Master, your plan is indeed brilliant. But how to persuade these sects to form an alliance with us may require some twists and turns." A silver-haired old man raised his concerns.

"Elder Weng, I have already taken care of this matter." Xu Wenchong smiled at the old man and continued to introduce: "This Wanbao Pavilion auction will definitely attract these forces. By then, several Taoist soldiers will come out, how can these forces... Don't be tempted. When they fight for the opportunity, I will personally come out to contact the senior leaders of each sect and show them the sincerity of our Taiyi Sect and our firm stance against the Xuantian Sword Sect. I will definitely be able to unite them. ,…”

"Sect Master, your proposal is very good." Hu Yiming nodded in agreement and asked with concern: "But how to ensure that these sects can sincerely form an alliance with us instead of temporarily cooperating with us and turning against each other in the future?"

Xu Wen smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, and introduced in detail: "That's a good question, Elder Hu..."

All the elders nodded after hearing this, and expressed their agreement with Xu Wen's plan. (End of chapter)
