Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Qixuan Sect, back mountain, Crossing Tribulation Platform.

The sky was covered with thunderclouds.

Li Mu and Xue'er were standing in the air, looking at the sky above the Crossing Tribulation Platform from afar, with solemn expressions, looking at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky with awe.

In the thunderclouds, lightning flashed, like a giant dragon wandering, and every flash was accompanied by a deafening roar, indicating that the upcoming thunder tribulation was extraordinary.

"Boom!"

The first thunderbolt finally couldn't hold back the power of heaven, and suddenly cut through the sky, with destructive power, and rushed straight to the golden tiger on the Crossing Tribulation Platform.

The golden tiger was transformed from a golden armor Taoist weapon, emitting a faint golden glow, with eyes like torches, and murderous spirit soaring to the sky. Facing this devastating blow, it was not afraid at all, but instead looked up to the sky and roared, shaking the universe, and the golden light around it was shining.

"Roar!" The giant tiger responded to the sound, and its body flexibly shuttled in the air, turning into a series of golden afterimages, facing the bombardment of the thunderbolt.

The golden afterimage was like the toughest shield between heaven and earth, colliding fiercely with the thunder, stirring up layers of air waves and shaking the surrounding void.

However, is it so easy to deal with the thunder tribulation? The second and third thunder tribulation followed one after another, each more violent than the last, as if to tear the golden tiger apart.

The golden tiger was not afraid at all, and confronted it head-on, releasing dazzling light and deafening explosions.

"Crack!" A thicker thunder tribulation struck from the depths of the thundercloud, and its power far exceeded the previous one, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world. Facing this fatal blow, the golden tiger not only did not retreat, but instead aroused a stronger fighting spirit. Its whole body was covered with golden light, and brilliant arcs flowed between its scales, as if it had merged with the thunder tribulation and turned into the most dazzling existence between heaven and earth.

"Roar!" The giant tiger let out a deafening roar, and its entire body suddenly expanded, turning into an even larger golden beast, directly facing the thick thunderbolt. The two collided violently in the air, bursting out dazzling light and deafening roars, and the entire back mountain seemed to tremble at this moment.

The huge movement shocked all the disciples of the Qixuan Sect.

"Who is going through the tribulation, so scary!"

"In that golden light, is... a spirit beast incarnated? Is it the Taoist weapon refined by the sect master? Is it going through the weapon tribulation?"

"Such a terrifying thunderbolt, it is clear that someone is going through the tribulation! But such a large-scale thunderbolt, even the elders in the sect can't trigger it, right?"

"Look, that golden beast, it doesn't seem to be a living creature, it should be a weapon spirit! That is the Taoist weapon refined by the sect master going through the weapon tribulation!"

...

The disciples talked a lot, their faces full of disbelief. They were either standing on the top of the mountain or floating in the air, their eyes fixed on the golden beast on the tribulation platform and the raging thunderclouds, their hearts filled with shock and curiosity.

The only three remaining elders of the Qixuan Sect, Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu, appeared beside Li Mu and Xue'er.

Looking at the golden tiger that was undergoing the thunder tribulation, the three of them showed unconcealed joy on their faces.

"Congratulations to the Sect Master for refining such a top-grade Taoist weapon!" Qin Wentong immediately bowed to Li Mu to congratulate him, with an excitement that was difficult to conceal on his face.

Zhong Zilin nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with joy: "The Sect Master's talent is beyond our reach. This Taoist weapon not only has amazing defense, but it can also shake the tribulation thunder. It is not a problem to become an eighth-level Taoist weapon in the future. Congratulations to the Sect Master!"

"Yes! The Sect Master's weapon refining skills are becoming more and more sophisticated." Ge Xinyu envied and congratulated him respectfully.

Li Mu smiled slightly, looking deeply at the golden beast on the tribulation platform, feeling both relieved and expectant. He gently raised his hand, condensed a powerful golden spirit in his palm, and injected it into the golden tiger to help it cross the weapon tribulation.

With the injection of Li Mu's golden spirit, the golden tiger seemed to have received some mysterious blessing, the golden light on its body became more dazzling, and each scale seemed to contain infinite power, and it became more comfortable in the confrontation with the thunder tribulation.

"Roar!" The golden beast roared again, this time with more confidence and calmness in its voice. It stretched out its body, drew a perfect arc in the air, cleverly avoided several thunders that were about to fall, and at the same time opened its mouth to absorb the surrounding lightning power into its body, as if enjoying the baptism of this thunder tribulation.

The thundercloud seemed to be angered by the provocation of the golden tiger, and the thunder power gathered crazily, forming an unprecedented huge thunder column, rushing straight into the sky, and suddenly struck the golden tiger. This attack gathered all the power in the thundercloud, and its might was strong enough to change the color of the sky and the earth.

The golden tiger was shining with golden light, and the sharp golden energy of its golden hair and the blue lightning pillar complemented each other. Under the eyes of the crowd, it suddenly jumped up and headed directly for the huge lightning pillar, and the two collided in the air with earth-shaking force.

"Boom!" A loud noise that shook the ancient times spread throughout the Qixuan Sect, and even spread thousands of miles away.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze and space was distorted. The collision point between the golden tiger and the lightning pillar burst out with dazzling light, like the rising sun, illuminating the entire back mountain.

As the light gradually dissipated, the thunderclouds also began to dissipate, revealing the long-lost blue sky.

The golden tiger on the cross-disaster platform became more powerful after the baptism of this thunder tribulation. Although its body did not expand again, the sense of power emanating from the inside out made people feel awe.

Seeing this, Li Mu raised a satisfied smile. The 'Tiger King Golden Armor' had successfully passed the weapon calamity and became a real top-grade Taoist weapon. He waved his hand gently, and the golden giant tiger turned into a stream of light and fell into his palm, turning into an exquisite golden armor pendant, flowing with a faint golden glow, gradually restrained, but unable to conceal its extraordinary demeanor.

At this moment, the entire back mountain seemed to be silent, and all eyes were focused on him with incomparable admiration.

"This weapon is a gift made for Chen Daojun. Who of you can advance to the combined mirror first? I can personally make a Taoist weapon for you!" Li Mu looked at the three elders and said with a smile.

Hearing this, a trace of excitement and excitement flashed in the eyes of the three people. They knew what Li Mu's promise meant. A Taoist weapon can often determine the strength and fate of a cultivator, and a Taoist weapon that can be made by him personally is even more precious.

Qin Wentong took the lead and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Master, you are so kind. We will remember it in our hearts. We will practice diligently and strive to break through the refining realm as soon as possible to live up to your high expectations."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, then said goodbye to the three people and flew to Xuantian Sword Sect with Xue'er.

Xuantian Sword Sect has already entered an unprecedented busy and grand occasion to hold the promotion ceremony of Chen Daojun. Starting from the mountain gate of the sect, a road paved with spiritual stones leads directly to the main peak. On both sides of the road, there are flowers and spirit beasts, adding a bit of vitality and solemnity to this solemn occasion.

Inside the sect, above the towering sword peak, there are clouds and mist, and the sword-riding disciples shuttle through it, like a fairyland.

On the top of the main peak, a magnificent altar stands tall, engraved with complex and mysterious sword runes, flashing with a faint spiritual light, echoing the stars in the sky. Around the altar, various rare spiritual herbs and fruits are placed...;

The disciples of the sect are dressed in uniform, busy and orderly shuttling around every corner. Some are responsible for arranging the venue, some are rehearsing the celebration ceremony, and others are preparing various precious spiritual materials and elixirs for emergency use.

Li Mu slowly flew over with Xue'er.

Li Mu was wearing a yellow brocade robe of the Supreme Elder, with long hair tied in a green crown, and his sleeves fluttering. The robe was embroidered with exquisite sword patterns, which contained a deep sword meaning. At a glance, people can feel his extraordinary sword cultivation. His face is gentle and elegant, but his eyes reveal determination and wisdom, as if he can see through the essence of all things in the world.

Xue'er was wearing a white dress, with a face like a cold moon and skin like cream, like a fairy descending to the earth, untainted by dust. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if they contained the tenderness and depth of the autumn sky, which made people involuntarily indulge in them at a glance. Her long hair was like a waterfall, gently falling on her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements, exuding a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

Her white dress was not an ordinary product. The gauze was thin and transparent, but it could reflect a faint luster in the sun, containing a powerful aura. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with the wind, like clouds and mist, adding a bit of elegance and mystery.

Xue'er followed Li Mu closely. The two of them complemented each other. One was extraordinary and the other was gentle like a fairy, like a moving painting, which attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples and elders, and they secretly admired it in their hearts.

"Hahaha, Elder Li, you are here!"

With the appearance of Li Mu, Chen Jianzhu appeared in person and greeted him warmly.

For a moment, all the distinguished guests of the sect, the patriarchs of the eight major families, Tianji Pavilion - Tianji Elder, Ziyang Sect - Sect Master, Taiyi Taoist, ..., and other ancestors of the sect who were invited to attend the ceremony, all looked at him with curiosity and respect. Among them, there were many people with profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, and naturally knew the origin of Li Mu, the new supreme elder.

However, they could never have imagined that this young supreme elder would be so valued by Chen Daojun.

Li Mu waved his hand, and a golden light flashed.

"This weapon is the 'Tiger King Golden Armor', which I combined with the Dao of sharp gold and painstakingly refined. I hope it will help Chen Daojun to make further progress in swordsmanship." Li Mu handed over the golden armor and looked at Chen Daojun and said slowly.

Although Li Mu's voice was light, it was clearly heard by everyone present. The consciousness of the ancestors fell on the golden armor one after another, and everyone showed shock.

"Top-grade Dao weapon!"

"The power of thunder has not yet dissipated. This Dao weapon must have just experienced a weapon calamity."

"Elder Li, you... you can actually refine such a treasure!"

...

The patriarchs of the eight major families and the ancestors of various sects were shocked and were all amazed by Li Mu's handiwork. They looked at the golden armor Dao weapon with envy.

People are divided into high and low, and weapons are also divided into good and bad.

Dao weapons that have experienced a weapon calamity mean that they have been recognized by the will of heaven and have the qualifications to continue to advance to a higher grade. They are one in a million.

However, Li Mu was able to refine such a Dao weapon and was willing to give it to others, which showed his extraordinary confidence and chest muscles. Top-grade Dao weapons are often regarded as the treasures of a sect or an individual, not to mention treasures that have just experienced a weapon calamity and have unlimited potential.

"This is a great achievement for Chen Daojun!"

The old man Tianji of Tianji Pavilion stroked his beard and sighed, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. As the helmsman of Tianji Pavilion, he knew all the rare treasures in the world, but what he saw today still shocked him unprecedentedly.

No one knew Li Mu's background better than the old man Tianji. Three hundred years ago, under the instigation of the ancestor of the Ji family, he used the Tianji mirror to deduce it, and suffered a backlash from the way of heaven.

Therefore, knowing that this boy is a man with great luck, Elder Tianji has always been deeply wary and curious about Li Mu, so he constantly collects his intelligence through the people below and witnesses his growth. However, what he saw today forced him to re-examine his judgment of Li Mu.

"Hahaha! Good, great! The treasure given by Elder Li is deeply in my heart. I will remember this deep friendship forever." Chen Daojun's voice trembled slightly with excitement. He held the 'Tiger King Golden Armor' tightly and looked at Li Mu with gratitude in his eyes.

"Daojun, you are too kind!" Li Mu smiled modestly and congratulated: "Although this armor is good, it needs the right person to bring out its true power. You have a clear sword heart and a lofty sword intention. You are the right owner of the 'Tiger King Golden Armor'. Help Daojun point his sword to the sky, cut off all the injustices in the world, and achieve an immortal sword career."

"Haha, good!" Chen Daojun nodded happily, looking at Li Mu, Xue'er enthusiastically invited: "The ceremony is about to begin, Elder Li, sister-in-law, you all take your seats!"

Li Mu nodded, took Xue'er, and under the gaze of the guests, walked into the honorable seats that had been prepared for them.

As Li Mu and Xue'er took their seats, the atmosphere of the entire ceremony seemed to become more enthusiastic. The disciples of the sects cast their eyes of admiration and envy, and the ancestors of the sects and the patriarchs of the families frequently saluted Li Mu to show respect and friendship.

The ceremony officially kicked off, and the grand drums sounded. Teams of disciples dressed in the true disciples' uniforms of the sect entered the venue. They held long swords in their hands, stepped in unison, and released flying swords together.

For a moment, the flying swords in the sky were like meteors streaking through the night sky, dazzling and interweaving into a spectacular picture of sword rain. Each flying sword contains the spiritual power and hard work of the disciples. They hovered, intertwined, and collided in the air, emitting bursts of crisp sword sounds that resounded through the sky.

As the flying swords danced, the entire venue seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint sword intent, and the air was filled with a strong atmosphere of kendo. The disciples of the sect were focused, their eyes revealed their persistence and love for kendo, and they exuded endless sword intent.

Soon, thousands of spirit swords surrounded the center of the venue, setting up the Xuantian Sword Sect's unique "Xuantian Sword Formation". Thousands of spirit swords flashed, interweaving into a dazzling light net, showing the solemnity of the ceremony and the majesty of the Sword Sect vividly, as if a special ceremony was being performed to invite a mysterious existence.
