Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Faced with the questioning and rising murderous intent of the Fiery Ancestor, a trace of helplessness flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He came here to chase the ninth-level earth vein divine fire, but he didn't expect it to secretly devour someone's sacred object and leave silently, causing him to be misunderstood as an accomplice.

The yellow mud on the pants is shit, and there is no way to tell him about this.

Li Mu suppressed his irritation, took a deep breath, and continued in a deep voice: "Li has always acted upright and has a clear conscience. I, Li, will never do such a sneaky thing. Moreover, the person who stole the sacred object was able to succeed under the heavy protection of your island. His means are so clever that he is definitely not an ordinary person. Daoist friend, if you insist on forcing this matter on me, do you have other purposes? ? "

However, in this world of cultivation where the strong are respected, explanations often seem so pale and powerless, and only strength is the hard truth that determines everything. Li Mu knew this very well, so he was prepared to deal with the worst situation.

"Hmph, if you didn't have a plan, how could you break through the psychedelic spirit formation of my island and reach the core of the volcano? Now that the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame is missing, you must give me an explanation!" The face of the Fiery Ancestor was as gloomy as water, and his words revealed an unquestionable toughness. The surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly because of his anger, and the hot breath oppressed Li Mu like a substance.

"Oh! How do you want me to explain? You didn't chase the person who stole the noble's holy object, but entangled with it endlessly. I have some doubts that the loss of the holy object is fake, and the purpose is to frame me." Li Mu frowned, and his tone was a little sharper. His body did not move, but there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power around him. Obviously, he was ready to deal with emergencies.

"Frame-up? Humph, what a joke! My Fiery Island has a thousand-year foundation, and the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame is the treasure that guards the island. How can you, the villains, slander it!" The Fiery Ancestor laughed in anger, his eyes red, and waved his hands around fiercely.

I saw several figures flashing out from all directions like ghosts, quickly surrounding the Fiery Ancestor. These people were wearing flaming red armor, and their faces were solemn and terrified. They were the elite guards of Fiery Island.

"Ancestor!" After several guards wearing flaming red armor appeared, they knelt on one knee, their faces full of terrified.

The face of the Fiery Ancestor was livid, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the whole place. He questioned the guards, "What's the situation?"

"Ancestor, the holy object was lost out of thin air. Your subordinates are incompetent and have not found any clues!"

The leading guard, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead and a trembling voice, continued, "We carefully checked the Fire Dragon Cave, and there was no trace of the cave protection array being broken into. There was no clue at the scene. The treasure thief seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air. Moreover, we used all the monitoring arrays on the island, but we were unable to capture any suspicious figures,..."

"Enough! You keep an eye on these two people, don't let them escape!" The Fiery Ancestor shouted angrily, interrupting the guard's report, leaving a word, and his figure turned into a line of fire, instantly disappearing from the spot, obviously going to personally track down the clues of the treasure thief.

Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng looked at each other, and both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Master, we should not stay here for long. That old ghost obviously has ill intentions towards us. Staying here will only cause more trouble." Chilian Fire Phoenix sent a telepathic message to Li Mu, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Li Mu nodded slightly and sent a telepathic message in response: "Well, you are right. Hold my hand tightly. We must leave this place immediately."

As he spoke, Li Mu stretched out his hand and held Chilian Fire Phoenix's warm palm tightly. In an instant, the chaotic mana in his body surged, as if a river burst its banks and could not be stopped.

The next moment, the guards only felt a dazzling aura in their vision, blurring their eyes and minds.

"What are you doing!"

The guards stared at Li Mu and Chilian Fire Phoenix, and the guards of the leader questioned angrily.

However, 'Li Mu' and 'Chilian Fire Phoenix' turned a deaf ear to them and just looked at them with a smile.

Seeing that the two guards were still in front of them, the guards breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were alert and waited for them strictly.

On the other side, Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng had successfully escaped from the Fire Dragon Island, turning into a stream of light and chasing in the direction of the 9th-level Earth Vein Divine Fire. It turned out that Li Mu used the art of substitute, leaving the substitute behind, and took Chi Lian Huo Feng under the eyes of the guards, escaping into the air, without the knowledge of gods or ghosts.

When Li Mu and Chi Lian Huo Feng escaped from the Fire Dragon Island, their substitutes remained in place, facing the angry guards, with a calm smile on their faces, as if they didn't care about what was about to happen.

At this moment, the old ancestor Liehuo sensed something, and he decisively gave up the clues he was looking for, and went back, staring at Li Mu, and Chi Lian Huo Feng slapped his palm in anger.

Immediately, the two substitutes shook slightly, turned into two balls of colorful light, and suddenly burst, turning into countless tiny light spots, flying in all directions, and disappeared in an instant.

The guards were shocked and reacted immediately.

"Is this... a substitute technique?" The guard in the lead had a changed face, looked at the Fiery Ancestor in panic, and apologized: "Ancestor, please forgive me!"

"A bunch of trash! You can't even keep an eye on one person!" The Fiery Ancestor shouted angrily, and his figure flashed, chasing in the direction where Li Mu and the Red Fire Phoenix fled, as fast as a red lightning.

At this time, Li Mu fled with the Red Fire Phoenix, and his consciousness comparable to that of a Mahayana Taoist immediately discovered the pursuers behind him, and immediately sent a message to the Red Fire Phoenix: "We've been discovered, you should go back to the treasure house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu paused and took the Red Refined Fire Phoenix into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion. Then, with a thought, he took out a set of teleportation arrays and six space-time array cards from the Tianxuan Ring.

Li Mu moved quickly, holding the formation formula with his hand, and the six space-time array cards were immediately arranged according to specific directions. Each array card exuded a faint fluorescence, forming a subtle connection with each other.

"Teleportation array, start!"

The chaotic mana in Li Mu's body surged again, injected into these array cards, and he shouted,

I saw that the six array cards were shining brightly, and a twisted space gap slowly opened in the void, exuding an alluring light, as if it could lead to anywhere.

At this moment, Ancestor Liehuo's angry shouts came from afar, and his figure was like a meteor streaking across the sky, approaching at an alarming speed: "You bastard, you can't even think of escaping!"

Li Mu snorted coldly, without the slightest hesitation, and stepped into the gap in space in a flash. As his figure disappeared, the gap in space shrank rapidly, and the six array cards followed closely behind and were thrown into the teleportation array, transforming into As a little light, dissipated in the void.

Ancestor Liehuo watched the little thief disappear into the gap in space. An unprecedented anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. He roared, and the flames around him boiled, as if they were going to burn the whole world.

"Little thief, no matter where you escape, I will tear you into pieces!" Ancestor Liehuo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

However, being angry, Ancestor Liehuo knew that he could no longer catch up with the boy who had passed through the teleportation array using ordinary means, and he had to find another way to have any hope of catching him.

A trace of determination flashed in the eyes of Ancestor Liehuo, and he made an astonishing decision, consuming the origin of the Tao realm to forcefully open the space gap that was about to close!

The origin of the Tao realm is the essence accumulated by the strong Tao realm practitioners for many years. Once it is consumed, it will have an immeasurable impact on the cultivation level. But at this moment, Ancestor Liehuo can no longer care about so much. He only has one thought in his mind, that Just catch Li Mu to vent his hatred.

I saw that the Liehuo Ancestor released the Dao Domain, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered words in his mouth. The flames around him became more and more intense, as if they were going to melt the entire space. As he let out a low drink, a powerful force surged out of his body. Rushing towards the closed space gap.

"Open it!" Ancestor Liehuo shouted violently, and saw that the closed space crack was forcibly opened by the violent source of fire, exuding a terrifying aura.

Ancestor Liehuo did not hesitate at all, and squeezed into the space crack in a flash. As his figure disappeared, the space crack slowly closed, as if it had never existed.

On the other side, Li Mu teleported through space and arrived at an unfamiliar sea area. At this moment, a figure burst out of the dark clouds, like a meteor, heading straight for him.

The person who came was none other than Ancestor Liehuo. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with endless anger and murderous intent.

"Old ghost, you are quite capable. You caught me so quickly!" Li Mu showed a look of surprise on his face, but he was not too panicked in his heart.

Ancestor Liehuo flashed and appeared in front of Li Mu. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him carefully up and down. He was a little surprised and calm, but also a little confused about the whereabouts of the seventh-order true spirit fire phoenix.

"Boy, follow the ancestor back obediently. If you recover our clan's treasure, I will spare your life!" Ancestor Liehuo warned sternly with murderous intent.

Hearing this, Li Mu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed unyieldingness and ridicule: "Spare me? It's really ridiculous. You have wronged me for no reason, and you still want me to go back with you? What a dream!"

Ancestor Liehuo's face darkened, and his anger became more intense: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty! Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel, Ancestor!"

Before he finished speaking, the flames around Ancestor Liehuo boiled again, like a volcano erupting. The hot breath rushed towards his face, making it almost impossible to breathe. With a wave of his hands, the flames turned into two fire dragons and roared towards Li Mu.

Li Mu used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared in an instant, easily dodging the fire dragon's attack. However, the two fire dragons did not stop because of this. They hovered flexibly in the air, as if they had autonomous consciousness, intertwining with each other to create a stream of blazing waves. The flame net sealed the entire space airtightly, immediately blocking Li Mu's escape route.

"Hmph, you just want to show off your Five Elements Escape Technique in front of my ancestor? Today, I will let you see my ancestor's methods!"

Ancestor Liehuo snorted coldly, a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered words in his mouth. The flames around him became more and more violent, as if they were going to swallow up the entire world.

"Fire Spirit Sealing Formation, rise!" As he shouted, the two fire dragons instantly turned into two flame chains, twining towards Li Mu with blazing heat and endless pressure.

The Fire Spirit Sealing Formation is one of the unique skills of Ancestor Liehuo. It uses the Tao Yuan of Fire as its power to seal away the Jue Spirit. Once trapped, even a strong person in the Mahayana stage will not be able to escape easily.

The next moment, Li Mu only felt that he was in a furnace of heaven and earth. His consciousness was surrounded by endless flames, as if he had been thrown into an eternal furnace. The air was filled with destructive high temperatures, which made his skin feel faint. The burning pain, even with the Chaos Dao Body, it is difficult to completely isolate this burning from the depths of the soul.

Upon sensing this scene, Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly. This ancestor of Liehuo was quite capable, and his control over the laws of fire was superb, far exceeding his current understanding of the laws of fire.

After Li Mu practiced the Dao of Chaos and advanced to the Fusion Realm, his understanding of various Tao principles became increasingly deepened. However, he knew that the Tao principles were as vast as the sea, and each one had its own uniqueness, and the same was true for the Tao of Fire.

The principle of fire not only includes the fiery power of burning all things and smelting metals, but also contains many different categories such as light, purification, and growth.

The Fire Spirit Seal Formation used by the Liehuo Patriarch is the ultimate embodiment of burning and confinement in the Law of Fire. Through the condensation and arrangement of the Fire Dao Yuan, an existence that is close to an absolute realm is formed, trapping the enemy. In it, he is constantly being burned by flames and oppressed by his soul.

However, Li Mu knew in his heart that the mystery of the Law of Fire was far more than that.

"If I can master more types of fire principles, I will definitely be able to find a way to break this fire formation." Li Mu thought to himself, while avoiding the pursuit of the flame chain, he tried to feel the special principles of this fire formation. , trying to understand the mystery.

As Li Mu got to know the formation more and more deeply, he gradually discovered that although the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation was mainly about confining and burning souls, its core lay in the ultimate cohesion and rejection of the Tao Yuan of Fire...

Time flew by, and Li Mu had been trapped in the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation for some time, but during this period, he showed no signs of panic, and his soul showed no sign of exhaustion.

Ancestor Liehuo frowned, and gradually felt something was wrong. You must know that even a strong man in the Mahayana stage would not be able to sustain it for long if he fell into the fire spirit sealing formation, let alone a monk in the Fusion Realm. However, the Li Mu in front of him seemed to have formed a delicate balance with the fire formation. Not only was he not completely swallowed by the flames, but he seemed to be having some kind of communication with the Tao Yuan of Fire.

"What on earth is this kid doing?" Ancestor Liehuo was filled with doubts and decided to increase the power of the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation to see what methods he could use to resist it.

As Ancestor Liehuo formed seals with his hands again, the flames in the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation instantly became more violent, the temperature also rose sharply, and the power of sealing and burning souls became stronger.

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, but he was not in a hurry. The chaotic mana in his body surged, and he began to interact with the surrounding fire principles.

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, and the fire realm appears!"

Li Mu shouted low, and the chaotic magic power in his body was like a river bursting its banks, pouring out endlessly and transforming into the fire-shaped magic domain that had the same origin.

As soon as the fire-shaped law domain came out, Li Mu, who was originally trapped in the fire spirit sealing formation, was invaded by the extreme fire element, and burned, his soul was loosened, as if he had a shelter from the wind, the fire-shaped law domain not only isolated the violent outside world The flames also used a wonderful way to slowly absorb the fire Dao Yuan within the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation and transform it into a power that Li Mu could control.

"This is called using fire to control fire, borrowing the power of the formation to feed oneself." Li Mu smiled complacently, full of joy, and skillfully used the power of his own evolution of the law of chaos to maximize the power of the law of fire.

At this moment, Li Mu was calm and composed, standing in the center of the Fire Spirit Sealing Formation, where the flames were lingering but no longer threatening at all. Instead, they were like docile servants, rotating nimbly around him.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Ancestor Liehuo's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe that the killer weapon he used was easily resisted by a fused monk and could not cause any harm to him. (End of chapter)
