Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"These are the transformation nodes of this formation!" The benevolent and wise monk instantly understood the intention of the old Taoist Lingyun, and was surprised: "It turns out that those nodes are just baits. The real transformation core is hidden around the Demon Emperor's body, using his own power to perform the purest transformation!"

The eyes of the old man Xuantian flashed, and he praised: "Fellow Taoist Lingyun, you are indeed a wise man. We were almost deceived by the Demon Emperor!"

"Without further delay, we will take this opportunity to destroy those transformation nodes with all our strength!" The old Taoist Lingyun gave an order and urged.

Seeing this, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor did not change his expression, as if he didn't care at all. He continued to control the Nine Nether Formation, giving birth to endless Nine Nether Evil Corpses, like a long black river emerging and drowning the six people.

Faced with the Nine Nether Evil Corpses that were pouring in like a tide, the six people did not retreat, but instead each displayed a more powerful stunt.

The old man Xuantian's body suddenly increased, and the sword domain of the peak of the Taoist opened up, turning into a stream of light. Holding the Xuantian Sword, the sword light was like a dragon, and he rushed directly into the black river. Wherever he passed, the Nine Nether Evil Corpses were strangled by the sword light and turned into nothingness.

"Xuantian Sword Art, Dragon Roar Nine Heavens!" The old man Xuantian shouted, and the Xuantian Sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light, turning into a huge light sword dragon, hovering in the air, making a deafening dragon roar, and suddenly swooped down, heading straight for the transformation node around the body of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

The benevolent and wise monk clasped his hands together, chanting scriptures, and his whole body radiated golden Buddha light. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a giant Buddha that was magnified ten thousand times. With a move of his body, he swung the giant vajra in his hand down.

"The Vajra's eyes are furious, and it will subdue demons and monsters!"

The benevolent and wise monk shouted loudly, and the Vajra suddenly became larger, emitting brilliant golden light. With a thunderous roar, it shattered the Nine Nether Evil Corpses one by one. At the same time, the Vajra turned into a golden light column, which directly hit the transformation nodes, trying to destroy them.

The old Taoist Lingyun held the Taiyi Divine Pearl in both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, and raised the Taiyi Divine Pearl high.

"Taiyi Divine Light, break the delusion and reveal the truth!" The Taiyi Divine Pearl burst out with dazzling light, turning into a huge spiritual power shield, firmly protecting the people in the formation. At the same time, the spiritual power shield shot out a series of divine lights, directly hitting the transformation nodes, trying to break them open.

At this moment, Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen and Qi Xuanming, the three Taoist Lords, were not to be outdone, and each used their most powerful killing moves.

Chen Qingxuan held the Gengjin Dao Sword in his hand, and the golden giant tiger roared out. Wherever the tiger shadow passed, the Nine Nether Evil Corpses were all turned into dust; Feng Wuhen's Qinghong Dao Sword was shining brightly, and the sword intent turned into a green giant dragon tumbling in the air, and the dragon's roar shocked the nine heavens. Qi Xuanming held the Taixuan Dao Sword and set up an exquisite sword formation. The sword light flashed in the sword formation, and the sword intent was crisscrossed, killing the Nine Nether Evil Corpses who tried to break through one by one.

For a time, the sword light, Buddha light, and divine light intertwined in the entire Nine Nether Formation, forming a series of gorgeous light curtains.

"Hmph, a mere ant, also want to shake this emperor's formation?" The Nine Nether Demon Emperor snorted coldly, waved his hands, and the rich Nine Nether Qi surged like a tide, and the Nine Nether Formation changed drastically.

"Not good, the Demon Emperor is changing the formation!" Lingyun Laodao's eyes were sharp, and he instantly noticed the changes in the formation, and his face became solemn.

The next moment, the Nine Nether Qi gathered towards hundreds of points, and each gathering point suddenly burst into a strong light. Then, hundreds of clones exactly like the Nine Nether Demon Emperor jumped out from those light spots. They were surrounded by the rich Nine Nether Qi, and their eyes flashed with deep light, as if they were real monsters walking out of the Nine Nether Abyss.

"Each of these clones has part of my power!" The voice of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor echoed in the formation, and he said with a hint of pride and ridicule: "Do you think you can break the formation by finding the real transformation node? Too naive! Die!"

As the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's words fell, those clones seemed to have received invisible orders and instantly launched a fierce offensive. They either held dark long swords or condensed Nine Nether energy balls, and each move contained destructive power, and they quickly attacked the six people.

"Hmph, a trifling trick!" Old Man Xuantian snorted coldly, and the Xuantian Sword swung and slashed with sharp sword energy, and each sword accurately killed the clone's vital points.

However, these clones were like phantoms, sometimes real and sometimes illusory, making the attacks of the old man Xuantian fail repeatedly.

The vajra in the hands of the holy monk Renhui waved repeatedly, drawing golden tracks, thundering, and shaking the surrounding space slightly. However, the clones seemed to have immortal bodies. Even if they were hit by the vajra, they only shook slightly, and then appeared in front of everyone intact.

The spiritual power shield released by the Taiyi Divine Pearl of the old Taoist Lingyun formed an indestructible barrier in front of the six people, blocking the attacks of the clones one by one. However, the number of clones was too large, and the power of each attack was extremely amazing, which doubled the pressure on the old Taoist Lingyun.

Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen and Qi Xuanming, the three Taoists, also used all their skills to fight fiercely with the clones of the Demon Emperor. However, these clones of the Demon Emperor seemed endless. Every time one was defeated, a new clone would condense from the Nine Nether Qi and continue to fight.

Faced with the endless clones of Jiuyou, the six people gradually realized that this was not a long-term solution. Their strength was being consumed rapidly, while the clones of Jiuyou Demon Emperor seemed to be inexhaustible.

"Quickly retreat! We can't continue to rush. Only by destroying the Demon Emperor's body can we break this formation! And in this situation, it may be difficult to achieve!" The old Taoist Lingyun sent a message to everyone, signaling them to return. At the same time, he used all his strength to activate the Taiyi Divine Pearl to strengthen the defense.

Hearing this, everyone understood in their hearts. They quickly adjusted their tactics and stopped entangled with the clone of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. With the help of the spiritual power shield released by the old Taoist Lingyun's Taiyi Divine Pearl, they slowly gathered together and discussed countermeasures.

"The Nine Nether Demon Emperor occupies the terrain of the Nine Nether Realm, providing him with an endless supply of the Nine Nether Origin to supply the formation. Fighting him in this realm is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg..." Chen Qingxuan frowned and analyzed in a low voice.

"Indeed, this place is not suitable for a long battle. We must try to leave the Nine Nether Realm and find a way to break the formation." Feng Wuhen nodded in agreement, with a flash of thinking in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"It's hard! How could the Nine Nether Demon Emperor let us go so easily!" Qi Xuanming said worriedly. He also knew a little about the art of formation, but he seemed powerless in the face of the Nine Nether Formation.

"We have been trapped in this formation for hundreds of years and are quite familiar with the Nine Nether Formation. I didn't expect this beast to hide so deeply and the Nine Nether Formation would have such changes, which made our plan fail!" Lingyun said in a deep voice with hatred.

Originally, they entrusted Chen Qingxuan to find the three sect treasures, Xuantian Sword, Taiyi Divine Pearl, and Vajra Pestle, ready to break the formation set up by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor in one fell swoop and kill him in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to be so cunning and hide so deeply, not only did their plan fail, but also the three Taoists of Xuantian Sword Sect and others fell into this formation, and the deputy sect leader of Taiyi Sect-Xu Wen, and the Great Buddha Temple-Jin Wu, all died here.

"The only plan now is to work together and withdraw from the Nine Nether Realm first, and then make plans for the future." Elder Xuantian waved his sword to kill dozens of Demon Emperor clones and signaled.

...

While dealing with the clones of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, everyone discussed with their minds and discussed strategies to defend against the enemy. The Nine Nether Great Array led by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was too powerful, and they had already decided to retreat.

"It would be great if Elder Li was here. He is proficient in array art and should have a way to deal with this Nine Nether Great Array." Feng Wuhen said in a deep voice.

"I happen to have the teleportation array device that Elder Li gave me for self-defense. I wonder if it can take me away from here if I use it here." Chen Qingxuan suddenly thought of something and said.

"Inside the Nine Nether Great Array, the array power is overflowing, and the Nine Nether Qi confuses the space. Ordinary teleportation array devices may be difficult to open stably, and the risk is very high." Hearing this, Elder Lingyun frowned slightly and reminded him quickly.

"But now we are in a desperate situation. If we don't try, are we really going to sit and wait for death?" Chen Qingxuan looked determined and continued, "Besides, Elder Li of our sect has an unparalleled array and weapon. The real weapon he refined must be extraordinary. Since he gave it to me, he must have a purpose. Perhaps this is our only chance of survival."

As he spoke, Chen Qingxuan slowly took out a strange teleportation array from the storage ring. It was in the shape of a five-color disc. Not only were there complicated symbols engraved on it, but it also contained the truth of heaven and earth. It gathered the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth as the basis. Each of them occupied one side, restrained each other and depended on each other, forming a delicate balance.

In the center of the disc was inlaid a time and space crystal stone that flashed with strange light. With the injection of Chen Qingxuan's spiritual power, it emitted a soft and powerful light. In the chaotic and dark environment of the Nine Nether Array, it showed extraordinary adaptability, as if it was a domain of its own.

"This array weapon is extraordinary!" The benevolent and wise monk glanced at it and couldn't help but praise it.

"There is no doubt about Elder Li's weapon-making skills. The Dao swords in the hands of the three of us are all his work." Feng Wuhen quickly took over and gestured.

Hearing this, Elder Xuantian, Elder Lingyun, and Saint Monk Renhui looked at each other. They did not know this 'Elder Li', but the Dao swords in the hands of the three Dao Lords were all made by this person, which could also prove his weapon-making level.

"Without further delay, I will immediately activate this Five Elements Escape Disk and try to break the blockade of the Nine Nether Formation and take us away from here. Please help me!" Chen Qingxuan said, gently touching the five-color disc with both hands, and the spiritual power surged, flowing along the complex instrument symbols, activating the core of the formation.

With Chen Qingxuan's guidance, the five-color light on the Five Elements Escape Disk became more and more brilliant, and the power of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined with each other, forming a miniature five-element world, as if independent of the Nine Nether Formation.

Seeing this, the three of them, Renhui Saint Monk, Lingyun Taoist, and Xuantian Elder, looked at each other, understood each other, and each used their secret skills to help Chen Qingxuan, ensuring that the Five Elements Escape Disk could be opened smoothly and isolated from the intrusion of the Nine Nether Formation.

Renhui Saint Monk put his hands together and chanted the ancient Buddhist mantra. Golden Buddha light burst out from his body and turned into a golden light curtain, covering everyone. This light curtain not only has a strong defensive power, but also contains the power of purification, dispersing the Nine Nether Qi around.

"Vajra is indestructible, Buddha's light shines everywhere!" Renhui Saint Monk shouted, and the golden light curtain instantly became more solid, as if even the space was stabilized by it, making it difficult for the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's clone and the Nine Nether Qi to approach.

Lingyun Taoist quickly pinched his hands and chanted something, driving the Taiyi Divine Pearl to release spiritual power fluctuations with Tai Chi patterns, which produced a wonderful resonance with the Five Elements Power on the Five Elements Escape Disk. The Taiyi Divine Pearl was suspended in the air, slowly rotating, releasing a soft light, which complemented the Buddha's light of the benevolent and wise monk, and together they formed an indestructible defensive barrier.

"Taiyi gave birth to two yin and yang, two yin and yang became four images, four images played eight trigrams, and eight trigrams determined good and bad luck! Taiyi guards, the seal of the eight trigrams, seal!" Lingyun Taoist chanted a spell, and as his words fell, eight rotating spiritual power vortices suddenly appeared around Taiyi Divine Pearl. Each vortex represented a trigram. They rotated at an astonishing speed, releasing a powerful sealing force, firmly sealing the surrounding Jiuyou Qi and the Demon Emperor's clone outside.

The old man Xuantian held the Xuantian Sword, and the tip of the sword lightly tapped, and a sword intent soared into the sky, echoing with the sword intent on the Five Elements Escape Disk, forming the prototype of a sword domain. He moved slightly, and the sword light was like a dragon, drawing gorgeous sword marks in the air. Each sword mark contained endless sword intent, as if it could cut off all the constraints in the world.

"Sword Domain Opens, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin! Protect the formation with sword intent, break the shackles of all laws!"

Old Man Xuantian shouted, and the sword domain suddenly expanded, completely covering everyone. The sword intent was crisscrossed, complementing the five elements on the five elements escape disk, forming an indestructible protective formation.

With the full assistance of the three predecessors, Chen Qingxuan felt that the five elements on the five elements escape disk were surging more and more, resonating with the five elements between heaven and earth. He pressed his hands on the five-color disc and injected all his spiritual power into it without reservation.

"Five elements escape, time and space shuttle, start!"

With Chen Qingxuan's shout, the time and space crystal on the five elements escape disk suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the whole formation seemed to be activated and began to vibrate violently. At the same time, a rotating channel composed of the five elements slowly unfolded in front of everyone.

"Want to escape? Dream on!"

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor shouted angrily, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of the Five Elements Escape Plate. He raised his hand and released a strong Nine Nether Demon Qi, trying to interrupt the space-time channel that was about to be formed.

Old Man Xuantian had already noticed it. With a flash of sword light, the Xuantian Sword turned into a sharp sword light, colliding with the Nine Nether Demon Qi, and a deafening roar broke out. The Holy Monk Renhui and the Taoist Master Lingyun also attacked at the same time. The Buddha light and the Tai Chi pattern intertwined to form a solid protective net, which resolved the attacks of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor one by one.

"Just in time!" Old Man Xuantian snorted coldly, revealing a hint of joy in his eyes, holding the Xuantian Sword instead of retreating and advancing.

"Xuantian Wuji! Kill!"

Old Man Xuantian hummed, and saw that the Xuantian Sword light flashed, and the sword body seemed to merge into the void, leaving only a faint sword shadow, and the sharp sword intent pointed directly at the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The King Kong's eyes are angry, destroying evil and revealing righteousness!"

The benevolent and wise monk glared, his whole body was full of Buddha light, and he waved his palm and slapped the Nine Nether Demon Emperor fiercely.

"Taiyi Divine Light, reverse the world!"

The old Taoist Lingyun quickly formed a seal with both hands, and the Taiyi Divine Pearl spun at high speed. The Taiyi Divine Pearl released a bright light, which formed a huge Tai Chi diagram in the air and enveloped the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and Qi Xuanming all took action. At this time, with the appearance of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's true body, they had changed their goal. It was no longer to break the formation and leave, but to ambush and kill him in one fell swoop.

Just when they were killing each other, a group of demon shadows suddenly appeared outside the Nine Nether Formation. (End of this chapter)
