Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"Sect Master, what kind of magic circle is this? It actually blocks the will of heaven!"

Qingyangzi looked up at the sky, watching the thunderclouds rolling in the sky, lightning and thunder, but strangely, these natural phenomena seemed to have lost their target, and the pressure of the will of heaven and earth gradually faded away, and asked Li Mu in confusion.

"This formation is called the 'Tianyan Escape Formation'. It was created by me based on the laws of heaven and earth, combined with my experience in refining weapons and runes." Li Mu's eyes were deep and there was a hint of pride in his tone, "It can cleverly Use the flow of spiritual power from heaven and earth to incorporate the newly born heaven-defying objects into it, making their existence blurred and thus avoiding the direct perception of the will of heaven."

A look of surprise appeared on Qingyangzi's face. He took a deep look at Li Mu and felt even more admiration in his heart.

"Sect Master, you are not only proficient in weapon refining and formations, but also the alchemy technique. No one can match it. Even I can't learn this new alchemy method you created. I can only look up to you!" Qingyangzi looked at Li Mu, He sighed helplessly.

"Senior, you are so complimentary. The method of alchemy I created is indeed quite innovative. However, with my previous alchemy skills, I may not be able to understand the true meaning of it over time." Li Mu smiled humbly and said quickly.

Hearing this, Qingyangzi smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly. It was precisely because he was an expert in alchemy that he became more aware of the difficulty of Li Mu's new alchemy method.

Using a large amount of single elixir, quenching and refining its essence, gathering the spirits of heaven and earth, melting the elixir into Dao, gathering the power of Dao, and condensing Dao elixir... No matter which step he takes, he has surpassed the traditional method of alchemy, even if he This alchemy master, who has been immersed in the art of alchemy for thousands of years, also feels unprecedented shock and powerlessness.

"Sect Master, your alchemy technique has become an exclusive magical skill. Refining the essence of the elixir to the extreme, and then using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a guide, integrating the power of the Dao, and condensing it into a Dao elixir that contains the Wushang Law. This is not only The pinnacle of skill is a manifestation of a deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, which I think I can't do." Qingyangzi said with a hint of awe in his tone, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Qingyangzi paused for a moment, looked at Li Mu and asked with some confusion: "But, sect master, why don't you let this elixir go through the elixir tribulation? In this way, the quality of this elixir will most likely be improved!"

"Senior, I don't know. Although the Dao Pill I created contains the power of the Dao, its essence is too single and the foundation of the pill is insufficient. Trying to use human power to integrate the laws of heaven and earth, this power is too huge, so that the law of heaven cannot tolerate it. If you force it to go through the elixir tribulation, the success rate is very low, and if it fails, the elixir will disappear, so it is better to be safe," Li Muxiao looked at Qingyangzi and explained.

"Senior, I acted impossibly before, which was disrespectful. This elixir has the effect of boosting the soul. As a small gift, please accept it, senior!" With that said, Li Mu handed the newly refined Tianxing elixir to Qingyangzi. He gestured with a smile.

"Sect Master, how can this... be done? This elixir is extremely precious, how dare I accept it rashly?" Qingyangzi quickly declined, feeling both surprised and frightened by the gift: "Sect Master, you have the kindness to save me, so why bother with such a trivial matter?" Hanging teeth.”

Li Mu smiled softly, gently placed the elixir in Qingyangzi's hand, and said with a firm smile: "Senior, there is no need to be polite. There is no need for too many words between you and me. Senior has given me guidance and inspiration on the way of alchemy. It is far beyond what this mere pill can measure. Moreover, if the soul of the senior is strengthened, it will also be a great help to our sect. "

After being delayed, Qingyangzi accepted the Tianxing Pill, nodded solemnly and said thanks: "The sect master has given me this generous gift, and I will remember it in my heart. I will definitely live up to my expectations and continue to contribute my modest efforts to the sect."

"Senior, please taste it!" Li Mu gestured with a smile.

Qingyangzi nodded and took the Tianxing Pill.

As soon as he entered the mouth, the Tianxing Pill turned into a warm and powerful spiritual power, flowing rapidly along the meridians, as if countless stars were twinkling in his body, illuminating every corner of his soul; this power was gentle yet powerful. Zhen, with an indescribable purity and loftiness, allows the soul to be nourished like never before.

Qingyangzi only felt as if he was in a vast galaxy. Each star represented the mystery of a kind of avenue, and he was gradually uncovering the veil of these mysteries. At this moment, his soul became extremely clear, connected with the world. The spiritual energy between them has created a closer connection, and the understanding of the great road has become more profound.

As the effect of the Tianxing Pill gradually took effect, Qingyangzi's body began to undergo subtle changes, and her skin became crystal clear. The temperament emanating from the inside out made people involuntarily feel awe, and her eyes It became deep and bright, and a powerful aura gradually burst out from his body.

For a long time, Qingyangzi refined the power of the Tianxing Pill. He looked at Li Mu with joy and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the medicine. I thought I could only stay in the Void Refining Realm in this life. This body was originally just for me to continue my practice." It was a last resort choice, but I didn’t expect that with the help of Tianxing Dan, it would be possible to advance to the next level!”

Qingyangzi's voice was filled with excitement and excitement that could not be concealed, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

For Qingyangzi, this body reshaped by the Anti-Death Spirit Grass and a ray of remnant soul is a huge obstacle to his continued practice, and it is also a reality that he has to face. However, at this moment, under the nourishment of Tianxing Dan, he felt unprecedented vitality and potential. This body was being re-endowed with a vitality that surpassed the past.

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "As long as it helps seniors, if it is still needed, Li should try his best to make another furnace for seniors."

"Right now, I still need to continue to refine my elixir power. If necessary, I won't be polite to the sect master!" Qingyangzi nodded with a smile.

Soon, the two of them turned to the trivial matters of the sect.

Li Mu took a sip of the spiritual tea, suddenly looked at Qingyangzi, and asked: "Senior, there is something in my heart that I can't let go of."

Hearing this, Qingyangzi looked slightly condensed and asked: "What is the sect master referring to? Is it possible that he is facing some threat?"

Li Mu shook his head, looked deeply into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed true. At this moment, in the land outside the territory, Xuantian Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and several Dao Lords of the Great Buddha Temple are having an ancient meeting with the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. The monks are fighting fiercely. I don’t know the information about this person. Seniors know that this person is most likely the culprit of the invasion of the demonic abyss forces into this world. "

"Nine Nether Demon Emperor! Is he not dead yet?" Qingyangzi was shocked.

Qingyangzi's face turned pale instantly, and there was a hint of unbelievable horror in his eyes. He couldn't help but recall those dark days in ancient times, and the name of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor lingered in his mind like a nightmare.

"Nine Nether Demon Emperor... Shouldn't he be jointly suppressed by Tao Lords from several major sects in the Nine Nether Land outside the territory, and never be able to stand up again?" Qingyangzi's voice was trembling, and he was obviously full of deep feelings for this name. Deep fear and awe.

"Senior, can you get some news about this person?" Li Mu perked up and asked with concern.

Qingyangzi nodded, calmed down, and began to tell the past events about the Jiuyou Demon Emperor: "The Jiuyou Demon Emperor, whose original name is Gu Tianyu, is not from an ordinary demon family, but is a human, demon, In ancient times, such hybrids were regarded as a bad omen and were often ostracized and suppressed. However, Gu Tianyu managed to escape time and time again by relying on opportunities and tempered his perseverance. With extraordinary talents, he gradually grew into a powerful Taoist."

"He was born in a remote border town in the spiritual world. His parents were from the human race, the demon race,..., after he cultivated to the realm of Tao Lord, he died once in a great war, and then, by chance, he took away the demon clan's He re-cultivated his body, continued to explore his own potential, and combined the advantages of the human, demon and demon techniques. He created his own unique magic technique - the Nine Nether Demon Devouring Technique, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds. "

Speaking of this, Qingyangzi paused, looked at Li Mu and said: "This pig's qualifications and talents may be comparable to those of the sect master. However, it will take more time for the sect to grow to his level. precipitation."

"Senior!" Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and urged: "You'd better tell me more about the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. I want to know more information about him."

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Only by knowing more information about the Nine Nether Demon Emperor can you better formulate a strategy to fight against him.

Qingyangzi nodded and continued to introduce: "After Gu Tianyu took away the body of the Demon Clan, his strength reached an unprecedented height with his unique Nine Nether Demon Devouring Technique. His magic power can not only swallow all things , and can refine the souls of living beings and transform them into their own power, which makes his cultivation progress rapidly and is almost unrivaled. "

"Like the sect master, this pig is also proficient in magic formations, weapon refining, elixir refining, etc., and is proficient in almost all kinds of cultivation arts. This pig has cultivated the aura of the Nine Netherworlds, which is exactly the original aura of the Nine Netherlands outside the territory, making him He is almost immortal in the land outside the territory. Unless his demon soul can be completely destroyed, he will live forever." Qingyangzi said with a hint of helplessness and worry.

"What's even more frightening is that Gu Tianyu is not only powerful personally, he is also good at manipulating people's hearts. He has won over a group of demon cultivators who are loyal to him and formed an organization called the 'Nine Nether Temple'. This organization has a strict hierarchy. The members respect their strength, and everyone has almost crazy admiration and belief in Gu Tianyu.”

"Under the leadership of Gu Tianyu, the Jiuyou Temple expanded its power everywhere, snatched cultivation resources, and even provoked wars between various races to collect more resentment and hatred as nourishment for him to practice the Nine Nether Demon Devouring Technique. Their actions plunged the entire spiritual world into unprecedented turmoil in ancient times."

"However, just when Gu Tianyu's power was about to reach its peak, several Dao Lords from the major sects finally realized his threat and joined forces to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against him. In that battle, almost the top experts in the entire spiritual world gathered together to fight It was so tragic that even today the great sects in ancient times were fractured.”

…

Qingyangzi introduced the history of Jiuyou Demon Emperor to Li Mu non-stop.

"Then, how was the Nine Nether Demon Emperor defeated in the end!"

Li Mu listened with rapt attention and couldn't help but interrupt Qing Yangzi's words and asked about the final fate of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

Qingyangzi sighed and continued: "That battle was indeed the most thrilling battle in the history of the spiritual world. Although Gu Tianyu was powerful, he was still unable to defeat four hands with two fists. Dao Lords from several major sects , in order to defeat him, he did not hesitate to use ancient Taoist weapons, and even attracted the attention of the upper world. "

"Upper Realm?" Li Mu frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't know much about the Upper Realm. He only knew that it was an existence far beyond the spiritual world and possessed more powerful power and laws.

Qingyangzi nodded and continued: "Yes, in ancient times, the channel connecting the spiritual world to the upper world - the fairy world, and the lower world - the Demonic Abyss was not sealed. Therefore, this fierce battle will naturally inevitably cause chaos. The intervention of the two worlds even triggered a war between the three worlds, and the involvement became wider and wider. "

"War of the Three Realms?" Li Mu was shocked. He had never thought that a war caused by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor would evolve to such a scale.

Qingyangzi nodded solemnly: "Yes, there is a war between the three realms. The fairy world in the upper realm is worried that the magic power of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor will affect their peace, so it sends many immortals to come down to earth to help in the battle. And the Demonic Abyss in the lower realm , saw Gu Tianyu as an opportunity to invade the spiritual world, and also sent a large army of demon cultivators to support. "

"That battle was truly a shattering one. The sun and the moon lost all light. The monks in the spiritual world, under the threat of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, united unprecedentedly and launched a desperate struggle with the immortals in the upper world and the demonic cultivators in the lower world. The brutality of the battle cannot be described in words.”

"Although Gu Tianyu was powerful, he gradually showed signs of fatigue under the siege of the coalition forces from the two realms. In the end, in a decisive battle, he was severely wounded by an immortal from the upper realm with powerful magic, and several major sects were defeated. The Dao Lords of the sect took the opportunity to launch a fatal blow and cut him into pieces to kill him."

"This war between the three realms has brought great trauma to the spiritual world. Countless monks have fallen, sects have been shattered, and all living beings have been devastated. In order to calm down the anger and resentment brought about by the war, the Dao Lords of several major sects have joined forces to cast powerful seals. Technique to completely seal the passage between the spiritual world and the upper and lower worlds to prevent something like this from happening again."

"Since then, the spiritual world has entered a period of relative peace. Although there are occasional small conflicts and wars, there has never been a war on the scale of the Three Realms War."

Having said this, Qingyangzi sighed, seemingly still immersed in the memories of that war.

"Now, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor is born again, and the Demonic Abyss is watching with eager eyes. Soon, there will be another bloody storm in the spiritual world." Qingyangzi's voice was filled with worry, and he looked at Li Mu and gestured: "Sect Master, You have to plan ahead and prepare early.”

"What the senior said is absolutely true!" Li Mu nodded solemnly, and then looked towards the sky: "I don't know how the battle between the Tao Lords and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor will be in the battlefield outside the territory. If we fight with such people in a fierce battle, the situation may not be that good. smoothly."

Hearing this, Qingyangzi looked towards the sky, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. (End of chapter)
