Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

As the battle deepened, Chen Jianzhu deeply felt the thickness and depth of Li Mu's Chaos Domain, as if it could devour and transform all the power between heaven and earth. Both the released sword energy and his domain were suppressed in this chaos and transformed into part of the Chaos Domain.

"The way of chaos is indeed unfathomable!" Chen Jianzhu secretly praised Li Mu while controlling the Gengjin Domain, but he also felt that Li Mu did not use his full strength.

Today, he wanted to force out Li Mu's true strength and explore his potential.

"Elder Li, be careful!" Chen Jianzhu held the Gengjin Dao Sword, revealed his figure and looked at Li Mu.

Before he finished speaking, the Gengjin Qi in Chen Jianzhu's body suddenly boiled, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable. His figure flashed, and then he disappeared, merging into the Gengjin Law Domain, using the secret technique that only the combined cultivators can perform - "Sword Domain Integration, Gengjin Dharma."

In an instant, the Gengjin Qi on the entire sword fighting stage seemed to be summoned. They were no longer invisible forces, but turned into the figure of Chen Jianzhu. Every Gengjin molecule became his extension, his will, and his sword intent. Chen Jianzhu and the Gengjin Law Domain completely merged into one, forming a huge, pure Gengjin Sword God phantom, standing between heaven and earth, majestic and sacred.

This Sword God phantom held a giant sword condensed by the Gengjin Law. The sword body was flowing with golden divine light, and the slight tremor of the sword tip was accompanied by the distortion and tearing of space, as if it could cut off all obstacles in the world.

At this moment, the will of Master Chen Jian and the power of the Gengjin Law reached a perfect match. With a thought, he could mobilize the Gengjin Qi between heaven and earth and wave it like an arm.

"Master Jian, this is not a sword fight, why are you so serious? I have just condensed the law domain and I am not proficient yet."

Seeing this, Li Mu's face showed a trace of solemnity and hesitantly said.

"Elder Li, you are too modest. I have a deep understanding of the power of your Chaos Law Domain. Today's battle is not about winning or losing, but about exchanging and learning, and exploring the ultimate realm of martial arts. I, Chen, have been obsessed with swordsmanship all my life. It is rare to meet an opponent like you. Naturally, I have to go all out to break through myself." The voice of Master Chen Jian came from the shadow of the Sword God, with a bit of sincerity and expectation.

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed with emotion, and he restrained his previous hesitation, and his expression became firm: "Sword Master, what you said makes sense. In this case, Li has no choice but to accompany you."

After that, Li Mu's soul power surged, and he released the restraints on the Chaos Domain. He performed the Chaos Dharma, and his figure gradually blurred, as if he had merged with the surrounding Chaos Domain, and seemed to be an ancient god slowly walking out of the chaos. Under the Chaos Dharma, Li Mu's face became hazy and deep, and his eyes flashed with the chaotic light like stars, revealing an indescribable majesty and mystery.

As Li Mu's mind moved, the power in the Chaos Domain began to surge wildly, forming a series of Chaos Tornadoes, which circled and intertwined in the air, releasing a breath of destruction.

While the chaos tornado was raging and the world was changing color, the Sword God phantom of Master Chen Jian was unmoved. The golden sword light gathered at the tip of the sword, and it was like a real edge pointing straight to the sky, and it arrived in an instant.

"Gengjin Sword Intention, Cut!"

Master Chen shouted, and the giant sword in the hand of the Sword God phantom suddenly swung out, and a dazzling golden sword light cut through the sky and went straight to the chaos tornadoes. Wherever the sword light passed, the space seemed to be divided into two, leaving a long and thin crack.

"Chaos Domain, Devour!"

Li Mu roared, and saw that the chaos tornado suddenly accelerated and formed a huge chaos vortex, the center of which seemed to be a black hole that could swallow everything.

The golden sword light and the chaos vortex met in mid-air, and suddenly a shocking collision broke out. The sword light was sharp and cut the power of chaos, while the chaos vortex twisted and rotated like a living thing, swallowing the golden sword edge in one gulp.

The small sword fighting platform seemed unable to withstand the pressure under the crazy impact of this force. It began to tremble, and the space fluctuated violently, as if it could collapse at any time. Fortunately, under the protection of the formation and array devices previously arranged by Li Mu, this force was effectively controlled within the sword fighting platform and did not cause much impact on the outside world.

However, just as this destructive force was intertwined, a strange change quietly occurred. The golden sword light did not completely dissipate in the chaotic vortex, but was slowly wrapped by the chaotic power, and the boundary between the two began to become blurred.

Chen Jianzhu frowned, and could feel that his Gengjin sword intent was gradually assimilated by the chaotic law domain, but this was not a bad thing, but an unprecedented experience. In the process of the fusion of Gengjin sword intent and chaotic power, an inexplicable feeling suddenly surged into his heart, as if the mystery between heaven and earth opened the door to him at this moment.

Chen Jianzhu was shocked and immediately realized that he was standing on the threshold of an unprecedented realm.

"It turns out that the sword and the way of chaos are not incompatible, but can complement each other and merge with each other..." Sword Master Chen muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with the light of enlightenment. His Gengjin sword intent was wrapped in the power of chaos, not only did it not disappear, but it became more tenacious and deeper. The Gengjin Qi was endowed with the tolerance and change of chaos, becoming indestructible and infinitely changeable, and was gradually offset and transformed in the chaos.

At the same time, Chen Jianzhu got a glimpse of some of the mysteries of the Chaos Realm, which was a power system that surpassed all his previous knowledge. He saw how the power between heaven and earth flows and transforms in chaos, and how everything is born and destroyed and the universe evolves. Fundamental law, at this moment, he seemed to be breathing the same breath and sharing fate with the world, and his understanding of the way of the sword reached a whole new level.

"The truth of heaven is hidden in this chaos!"

Sword Master Chen stopped attacking, his eyes were dull, as if he was deeply attracted by an invisible force, and he fell into contemplation of the principles of heaven. The Geng Gold Sword Domain surrounding him produced special rhythmic fluctuations with his breathing.

Seeing this, Li Mu did not take the opportunity to attack, put away the Chaos Domain, and stood quietly aside, with admiration and expectation shining in his eyes.

Sword Master Chen is currently experiencing a rare enlightenment about the magic circle. This is a great opportunity that countless cultivators dream of. Perhaps through this enlightenment, he can cross that hurdle and be completely promoted to the rank of Mahayana Taoist Lord.

"Enlightenment, Sword Master Chen is having an epiphany!"

"What a great opportunity! I didn't expect that this battle would actually give Sword Master Chen the opportunity for enlightenment!"

Seeing the two men on the sword fighting platform stop fighting, Sword Master Chen stood there blankly, deep in thought. Qin Wentong and Zhong Zilin could not help but exclaim in envy.

"Shut up! This is the critical moment for Sword Master Chen to realize the Tao. Any interruption may ruin his chance." Sword Master Feng interrupted everyone's noise by sending a message. He looked at Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, Ge Xinyu, and sent a message. The order was: "Guard this place and don't let anyone get close."

Qin Wentong and the three men bowed together, not daring to say anything, and carefully guarded the sword fighting platform.

"Elder Li, come with me."

Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu as if he were looking at a treasure, and said through his spiritual thoughts.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and immediately understood Sword Master Feng's intention. He immediately flew out of the sword fighting platform and followed Sword Master Feng to the top of a relatively secluded mountain peak.

"Elder Li, in today's battle, your Chaos Domain showed extraordinary power, which opened my eyes." Sword Master Feng spoke first, his tone full of appreciation and affirmation: "Especially this battle, it gave Sword Master Chen an epiphany. The opportunity is truly rare.”

Li Mu smiled humbly and said: "Sword Master Feng is ridiculous. Li just did what he should do. Sword Master Chen's swordsmanship is unfathomable. Li will benefit a lot from being able to fight with him."

Sword Master Feng nodded slightly and continued: "Sword Master Chen's epiphany is not only his personal opportunity, but also a great blessing for our sect. If we can take this opportunity to break through the Fusion Realm, you will be the first to do so."

"I have been trapped in the combined state for a thousand years and have never been able to reach the threshold of Mahayana. But watching the fierce battle between you two today, I also felt a lot. However, it is not as good an opportunity as Sword Master Chen." Sword Master Feng said this, a flash in his eyes. A touch of unprecedented anticipation looked at Li Mu.

"Sword Master, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Li will do his best."

Li Mu smiled slightly, probably understanding what Sword Master Feng said, and answered with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sword Master Feng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said with a smile: "Elder Li, I see that your Chaos Domain has unlimited potential. It is not only amazingly powerful, but also contains the mystery of containing and transforming all things. This is the foundation of the Great Dao."

The conversation changed, and Sword Master Feng continued: "The Avenue of Chaos cultivated by Elder Li has revealed its boundless potential. I have a question to ask. I wonder if you would be willing to share more insights about the Way of Chaos?"

Li Mu immediately said respectfully: "Sword Master Feng is very polite. It is a great honor for Li to discuss the Tao with the Sword Master. I have just learned the way of chaos, but my knowledge is limited. The chaos I understand is the beginning of all things and the root of the universe. It contains infinite things." Possibly, it is both inclusive of all things and transcends all things. The principle of chaos that I understand lies first in ‘nothing’ and ‘being’…”

"Everything in the world is born from chaos. In chaos, there is neither form nor attributes, so it is 'nothing'. However, it is this 'nothing' that gave birth to the original 'being'. The beginning of all things is the source of everything." Here; the way of chaos is to find that glimmer of life, that glimmer of opportunity for change, between 'nothing' and 'existence'."

"Furthermore, the Tao of Chaos emphasizes transformation and integration. In chaos, all things can transform into each other. Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing each other, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing and constraining each other. These are all manifestations of the principle of chaos transformation. And the Chaos Law that I practice is the integration of Yin and Yang. , the Five Elements, incorporate external attacks, spiritual power, and even the vitality of heaven and earth into it, and transform it for my use through chaotic fusion. This is the beauty of tolerance and transformation of the Tao of Chaos."

In addition, the Tao of Chaos also contains a transcendent power, which is not rigid in form, not limited to Tao principles,... "

…

Listening to Li Mu's detailed account, Sword Master Feng nodded from time to time, sometimes showing understanding, sometimes showing hesitation.

As a result, the two had in-depth exchanges and discussions on the principles of chaos and swordsmanship at the top of the mountain. Li Mu provided Sword Master Feng with many fresh thoughts and inspirations with his unique perspective and insights.

After some in-depth exchanges and discussions, Sword Master Feng’s eyes became brighter and brighter, but there were still many unresolved confusions. He said with emotion: “Elder Li, I have benefited a lot from today’s discussion. However, I still have a request, and I hope Elder Li can fulfill it!"

Although Li Mu had some guesses in his mind, he still responded humbly: "The sword master said something harsh, but it doesn't matter. Li will definitely do his best."

"I want to have a sword fight with you. I don't want to win or lose. I just want to take this opportunity to experience the mystery of the way of chaos. Maybe it can help me break through the bottleneck and step into the realm of Mahayana." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with bright eyes. , requested.

Li Mu nodded understandingly and responded respectfully: "Sword Master Feng has such an elegant spirit, and Li will accompany him. However, please show mercy to the sword master. Li's cultivation is still shallow, and he may not be able to bear the sword master's full strength."

Sword Master Feng laughed and said: "Elder Li is too modest. When you and I fight swords, we only need to point out the points. The important thing is to understand."

"Elder Li, you should set up a protective formation first! Otherwise, if we fight, this large area of ​​Lingshan will be destroyed." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and said impatiently.

"Sword Master, please wait a moment!" Li Mu nodded clearly, flew to the sword fighting platform, and took back the array weapons.

Then, Li Mu flew to the sword fighting place chosen by Sword Master Feng, released the Five Elements Jade Plate, set up the Five Elements Protective Formation, stabilized the space, and transformed the remaining power of the battle into the power of the Five Elements Protective Formation; the small gong was tapped, sound waves rippled, and the structure was constructed. The echo barrier absorbs and transforms the impact of sound waves to prevent sound leakage; unfold the forbidden map of all phenomena, and the mountains, rivers, stars and creatures leap on it, transforming into streams of light and blending into the void, building a powerful barrier...

With the activation of several arrays, the three magic circles tightly surrounded the entire Lingshan Mountain. The top of the entire Lingshan Mountain was shrouded in a faint spiritual light. The noise and prying eyes of the outside world were isolated, and they were the only ones left. The two of them, in this space intertwined with chaos and sword intent, were ready to start a unique contest.

"Elder Li, please!" Sword Master Feng summoned the Qingyuan Taoist Sword, and a strong sword intention surged out of his body. The blade of the green wind sword was everywhere, and the sword was powerful yet elegant, as if the spring breeze turned into rain, moistening things. It is silent, but it can turn into a violent storm in an instant, destroying all obstacles.

Li Mu smiled slightly and summoned the Five Elements Dao Sword. The Chaos Law spread out again and surrounded him. It complemented the green sword light emitted by Sword Master Feng's Qing Yuan Dao Sword, forming a breathtaking picture.

"Sword Master, please teach me!" Li Mu responded in a deep voice, moving slightly.

Before he finished speaking, the next moment, Li Mu's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Seeing this, Sword Master Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chanted the Qingyuan Dao Sword in his hand. The tip of the sword touched the void. Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands, and green sword energy roared out like a tornado, carrying with it The aura that destroyed the heaven and earth was approaching Li Mu.
