Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Wanjian Mountain stood quietly, with a surging sword intent. The unbridgeable crack of the sword mountain also became smaller. The sound of "buzzing" swords came from Wanjian Mountain. Wanjian Mountain-the spirit of the weapon was excitedly conveying its excitement to Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, very satisfied with the effect. Five seventh-level Dao swords can restore Wanjian Mountain to such a state. What if there are one thousand or ten thousand swords! What kind of effect will it produce?

Perhaps, Wanjian Mountain can be promoted because of this!

Thinking of this, Li Mu's heart surged with pride. The potential of Wanjian Mountain is far more than this. If it can really be as he thought, gathering thousands of high-level Dao swords, Wanjian Mountain may not only be promoted to a higher level of extreme Dao weapon, but may even transform into a real artifact with the power to change the world and cut through the void.

Li Mu recovered his consumed consciousness, adjusted his state, and immediately continued to invest in the refining of the Dragon Scale Dao Sword.

One hundred and fifty dragon scales can refine about five dragon scale swords, and fifteen thousand dragon scales are enough to support the refining of three hundred seventh-level dragon scale swords, which is still a long way from the ten thousand dragon scale swords that Li Mu wanted.

However, the dragon bones and dragon teeth of the body of the demon dragon are the essence of the eighth-level Mahayana demon dragon. These top-grade refining materials are also suitable for refining seventh-level dragon tooth swords and seventh-level dragon bone swords.

The fire of chaos burned fiercely, Li Mu's mind was fully opened, the power of chaos surged, and three hundred dragon scales quickly liquefied and merged...

This time, Li Mu refined ten seventh-level swords in one breath. With the support of the power of the Chaos Sealing Array, the difficulty of refining a seventh-level sword was greatly reduced by more than 90%. Refining ten seventh-level swords with the same weapon pattern and array at one time was completely under control.

As the Chaos Fire continued to burn, the dragon scales gradually liquefied, forming streams of golden liquid. As the Chaos Fire continued to burn, the dragon scales gradually liquefied, forming a mass of red-gold liquid.

Under the control of Li Mu's mind, one was divided into ten, gradually condensed, and formed a Dao Sword embryo. The power of chaos surged, guiding the chaos array power of the Sealing Realm Array, and began to condense patterns for the ten Dao Swords.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Li Mu devoted himself to the refining of the seventh-level Dao Sword. One by one, the seventh-level Dao Swords, Dragon Scale Dao Swords, Dragon Tooth Dao Swords, Dragon Bone Dao Swords, were refined like an assembly line, and then integrated into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

The thousands of broken and severely damaged fifth- and sixth-level spiritual swords and the vacant sword positions that Wanjian Mountain originally had inserted were gradually replaced by seventh-level Dao swords. The sword intent emitted by Wanjian Mountain became more and more fierce, as if a peerless divine sword was quietly gestating, causing the chaotic energy of the entire chaotic space to tremble. The cracks in the sword mountain had long been restored to their original state under the impact of this powerful sword intent.

The body of Wanjian Mountain exuded a layer of rich brilliance, which was a mysterious brilliance interwoven with sharp sword intent and chaotic power, making Wanjian Mountain look extremely majestic and inviolable.

…

In Xuantian Sword Sect, the bell rang, and all the elders and disciples of the sect rushed to the sect square, their faces filled with excitement and awe.

The bell rang nine times, the sound was melodious and full of joy. It was the ringing of the ceremonial bell. Today, it announced the return of the sect master, Xuantian Elder, who had been missing for hundreds of years, and the three Dao Lords, Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and Qi Xuanming, who returned with him.

At this moment, the entire sect seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the air was filled with an indescribable solemnity and joy.

In the sky, colorful clouds gathered, and the rays of light were as if the heaven and earth were prelude to this grand event. As a distant and profound breath gradually approached, everyone felt their hearts trembling, as if some ancient and powerful force was passing through the shackles of time and space and slowly descending.

Finally, four figures appeared in everyone's sight. The leader, with white hair and immortal style, was the long-lost leader of a sect - Old Man Xuantian. At his waist, an ancient and mysterious long sword was quietly hanging, which was the symbol of the Xuantian Sword Sect - the Xuantian Sword.

Following closely behind Old Man Xuantian were the three Taoist Lords Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and Qi Xuanming. They each exude a unique aura. Chen Qingxuan's sword is full of energy, as if he can cut through the void at any time; Feng Wuhen is surrounded by a faint fluctuation of wind elements, which makes people feel an indescribable lightness and freedom; Qi Xuanming is majestic, like a towering mountain, giving people a sense of calmness and reliability.

"Welcome the return of the sect master! Welcome the three Daojuns!" The whole sect, whether elders or disciples, bowed their heads respectfully, their voices full of excitement and admiration.

The return of Elder Xuantian is like a shot of cardiotonic, allowing the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect to regain their backbone. In the more than 500 years since he disappeared, the sect has encountered unprecedented difficulties and hardships. The two Daojuns unfortunately fell, the forces of the Demon Abyss invaded several times, the land of the Southern Wilderness was lost, and various problems followed one after another. The sect was seriously injured and once fell into a precarious situation.

Fortunately, all this is over. Several sword masters have been promoted to the Mahayana Dao Lord. Because Elder Li refined a large number of Dao swords, the strength of the sect has increased, successfully curbing the arrogance of the Demon Abyss and the demon sects.

Now, with the return of Elder Xuantian and the three Dao Lords, the morale of the sect is greatly boosted. They know that with the leadership of the sect master and the three Dao Lords, the power of the Xuantian Sword Sect will be even greater than before.

"Elder Li, why didn't you come?"

Chen Qingxuan looked around and didn't see Li Mu, so he asked the Contribution Hall Master-Qiu Yuanhong directly.

"Elder Li has been in seclusion for some time. Perhaps he is at a critical moment and has not responded to the summons!" Qiu Yuanhong quickly explained.

"Elder Li is in seclusion, so don't disturb him. When he comes out of seclusion, I will communicate with him in person." Elder Xuantian said in a calm tone with a smile.

The welcoming ceremony ended hastily, and the senior officials of the Xuantian Sword Sect gathered in the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, candlelight was brightly lit and the atmosphere was solemn. Old man Xuantian sat on the main seat, his eyes deep, scanning the sect elders present.

"Everyone, my Xuantian Sword Sect has gone through ups and downs and has been able to last for thousands of years. It has been passed down to this day. I don't know how many ancestors have succeeded us without falling into the swordsmanship." The old man Xuantian looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "This time, several fellow Taoists and I were arrested. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor has been trapped in the Nine Nether Formation for hundreds of years, and the death of Junior Brother Qinghong is not unrelated to the major conspiracy behind Mo Yuan."

Hearing this, all the elders looked stern. The fall of Daojun Qinghong was an eternal pain in their hearts.

"It's really rare for you to be able to thwart several invasions by Demon Abyss. There must be a lot of hardships and hardships behind it." Old man Xuantian continued with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Demon Abyss is extremely powerful, and those demon gods invade the spiritual world. "The ambition will never be extinguished easily, and we must be fully prepared to prevent it from coming back again."

"Sect Master, we have been able to defeat the Demonic Abyss several times, and Elder Li is indispensable!"

"Indeed, the Dao sword refined by Elder Li and the magic circle it arranged provided great assistance to us in resisting the forces of the Demonic Abyss."

"If Elder Li can further improve his cultivation, he will definitely be able to play a greater role in resisting the invasion of Demon Abyss."

…

The elders all spoke one after another, with admiration for Li Mu shining in their eyes, describing in detail to Old Xuantian the contributions Li Mu had made to the sect during this period.

Hearing this, the old man Xuantian stroked his beard and nodded, with a strange look in his eyes. Facing Elder Li, whom he had never met before, he already knew a lot from Chen Qingxuan and the others, and was well aware of his contribution to the sect. , I felt a little regretful that I could not meet Li Mu immediately.

Now, the unanimous praise and admiration given by all the elders made Old Xuantian more interested in Li Mu.

"I already know Elder Li's contribution. He is practicing in seclusion in order to pursue a higher realm and add more knowledge to our Xuantian Sword Sect. When he comes out of seclusion, I will definitely put him to good use." Xuantian The old man nodded slightly, approvingly.

After a pause, the old man Xuantian changed his tone and said solemnly: "Right now, the spiritual world is about to usher in a period of spiritual energy exhaustion. The great formation of the sealing world will collapse at any time. The threat of the Demonic Abyss is approaching day by day. Xuantian Sword Sect serves as the guardian of this continent. The mainstay of the world has a heavy responsibility. In order to cope with the upcoming crisis, I have made up my mind and decided to open the ancestor altar and contact the ancestor of the upper world to seek his guidance and assistance. "

As soon as these words came out, all the elders showed expressions of surprise. The ancestor altar is the highest holy place of the sect. It will never be opened easily except when the sect is in danger of life and death. The Xuantian Sword Sect has been inherited for thousands of years and has experienced several dangerous situations of annihilation of the sect. , the Patriarch Altar has not been used so far, which shows that the conditions for its activation are harsh.

"Sect Master, this matter needs to be considered carefully." The master of Tiandi Difficulty Peak said with some hesitation in his tone: "Opening the Patriarch Altar will not only consume a lot of money, but may also lead to unpredictable consequences, and the Patriarch of the Upper Realm Whether they are willing to lend a helping hand is also unknown.”

"Due to the sealing formation, we have been cut off from the ancestors of the upper world for ten thousand years. Now that we have opened the altar hastily, I'm afraid it's hard to predict their reaction." Another elder added, with a hint of worry in his brows.

"Sect Master, the Moyuan forces have been defeated by us, why not wait and see patiently, there is no conclusion yet on the exhaustion of spiritual energy!" Chen Qingxuan followed up and suggested.

They have been disconnected from the Patriarch of the Upper Realm for so many years. It is still unclear whether the Patriarch of the Upper Realm exists now. If they are contacted, the Patriarch of the Upper Realm has strict instructions for them. Will they obey it or not?

"Sect Master, be careful!"

…

A group of Taoist monarchs and elders admonished and begged Old Man Xuantian not to open the altar lightly.

Faced with the unanimous advice of all the elders, Old Man Xuantian did not immediately express his position and fell into a brief contemplation.

"How can I not know the concerns of the elders?" Old Man Xuantian spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, and said in a deep voice: "But the exhaustion of spiritual energy and the threat of the Demonic Abyss are all indisputable facts. If you just sit back and wait for death, you can only It will put the sect into a place of eternal disaster.”

"As for the ancestors of the upper world and their sects, although they have been disconnected from us for thousands of years, as the ancestors of the sect, they must also care about our sect. I have no doubt about this. We open the altar not only to seek Assistance, to be more precise, once the great formation of the sealing realm disintegrates, we need to unite with the Immortal Sect of the Upper Realm to jointly defend against foreign enemies and defend the spiritual world," Old Man Xuantian said resolutely.

"Furthermore, elders, have you ever thought that if we can really contact the ancestors of the upper world and get their guidance and assistance, it will be of immeasurable benefit to the future development of our sect. This will not only resolve a crisis, but also It’s an opportunity for the sect to leap forward.”

After a pause, Old Man Xuantian looked at the elders and reminded them.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and began to re-examine the situation in front of them, thinking about the profound meaning of the words of the old man Xuantian.

Once the sealing formation is disintegrated, there will be no obstacles to ascending to the upper world. Instead of staying in the spiritual world with exhausted spiritual energy, it is better to give it a try and seek help from the upper world, which may open up a new way out for the sect and disciples.

"The Sect Master is right. We really can't just follow the old ways and sit back and wait for death." An elder took the lead in expressing his opinion. His eyes flashed with determination, and he agreed: "Opening the Patriarch's Altar may be the key to breaking the current predicament."

"I also agree with the Sect Master's decision!" Another elder followed closely and said firmly: "As the elders of the sect, we have the responsibility to consider the future of the sect."

As these two elders expressed their opinions, other elders also expressed their support.

Seeing that everyone reached a unified opinion, Elder Xuantian breathed a sigh of relief and showed a gratified smile on his face.

"We are very pleased that the elders can understand and support this decision." Elder Xuantian couldn't wait to give instructions: "Next, we will make every effort to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Patriarch's Altar, which will be officially held in three months."

The elders nodded one after another, saying that they would fully cooperate with Elder Xuantian's arrangements.

Just when the Xuantian Sword Sect, as a whole, was busy with the opening ceremony of the Patriarch's Altar, Li Mu's retreat, the chaotic space, presented a different scene.

Wanjian Mountain, sword intent is like a tide. Seventh-order Dao swords containing the ultimate sword intent, like a school of fish, circle around Wanjian Mountain and gallop. They interweave with each other and together breed a more powerful sword intent.

In the refining again and again, Li Mu's refining skills and efficiency have reached a new height. He can easily refine precious materials such as dragon scales, dragon bones, and dragon teeth into seventh-order Dao swords.

Day and night, without stopping.

As the dragon scales and dragon bones are consumed, the last batch of dragon teeth are also under the control of Li Mu. Under the refining of the chaos fire, ten dragon tooth Dao swords are emitting brilliant spiritual light, and a series of weapon patterns emerge and condense on the sword body.

Ten dragon tooth Dao swords suddenly sound like dragon roars, like the roar of an ancient dragon. On the sword body, dragon-shaped spiritual patterns wander, flashing sharp sword light that shocks the world.

Twenty-eight weapon patterns condense, Dao swords are refined, and sword spirits are born!

When the ten dragon tooth swords were finished, Li Mu's mind moved and he threw them one by one to the top of Wanjian Mountain.

In an instant, the entire Wanjian Mountain seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. The originally hovering group of seven-level swords seemed to feel the addition of new members, and the sound of swords rose and fell, resounding through the sky.

With the integration of the ten dragon tooth swords, the sword intent of Wanjian Mountain instantly boiled to the extreme, and an unprecedented sharp and domineering aura spread, even the space trembled. These ten swords, like ten kings, led the other swords to jointly construct a sword intent field, which enveloped the entire Wanjian Mountain, making this area a holy land of swords and an ocean of sword intent.

One thousand five hundred swords, including the ten dragon tooth swords, formed a spectacular sword formation above Wanjian Mountain, with the sword tip pointing to the sky and the sword tail touching the ground, like a giant dragon composed of swords, winding and circling, with great momentum.

Wanjian Mountain gathers the sword intent of 1,500 Dao swords, and the body of the sword mountain begins to undergo an unprecedented transformation. The originally stable and heavy mountain body seems to be endowed with life at this moment. As the sword intent flows, the surface of the rock is faintly flickering with sword light, as if thousands of sword blades are inlaid on it, shining brightly.

As the sword intent continues to condense and sublimate, a huge sword-shaped totem slowly emerges on the top of Wanjian Mountain. It is the ultimate embodiment of sword intent and also the symbol of the spirit of Wanjian Mountain. In the totem, the dragon-shaped spiritual pattern and the sword pattern are intertwined, forming a shocking picture, as if some divine object is awakening and is about to soar into the sky.
