Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

As time went by, fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of Li Mu's forehead. He quickly formed seals with his hands, guided the energy between heaven and earth, and constantly adjusted and improved the three-dimensional magic array in the air.

"Xue'er, look carefully, this will be the new magic array I created to seal the ninth-level divine object - the Hunyuan Reversal Sealing Spirit Array!" Li Mu's voice was filled with excitement and pride.

As his words fell, the three-dimensional magic array in the air suddenly burst into dazzling light. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth and the two polar elements of yin and yang reached a perfect balance and fusion at this moment, forming a unique domain space.

In this space, the flow speed of various energy is extremely fast, as if even time is being pulled by it to accelerate the flow.

Li Mu clasped his hands together and whispered: "Seal!"

I saw that the five elements of yin and yang reversal sealing spirit array suddenly shrank, turned into a stream of light, and shot directly at a test of a fifth-level red flame crystal not far away, which was used as a test product for sealing spirituality.

"Buzz!" With a light sound, the Red Flame Crystal was instantly wrapped in a layer of colorful array light, and then the light quickly retreated. The hot flames and spiritual power fluctuations on the surface of the Red Flame Crystal suddenly stopped at this moment, as if they were completely suppressed by an invisible force inside the crystal, turning into an ordinary gray stone, and the flame spirit completely dissipated.

A moment later, when it was confirmed that the spirit of the Red Flame Crystal had been successfully sealed and there was no leakage, Li Mu and Xue'er showed surprise on their faces.

"It's done! Brother Li, with this array, you can successfully seal the ninth-level divine object. Don't take risks again, it won't be so costly?" Xue'er looked at Li Mu's successful test of the soul-sealing array and asked happily.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled bitterly and explained: "Although this Hunyuan Reversal Sealing Spirit Formation has achieved initial results, it is still far from being able to seal the ninth-level divine object. Although the spirituality of the fifth-level red flame crystal is strong, it is far from being able to seal the ninth-level divine object."

"At present, the formation is just beginning, and it is far from enough to exert its power to perfectly seal the ninth-level divine object. I need to further refine the formation pattern, guide more spiritual power of heaven and earth, and integrate more heaven and earth laws, before it is possible to reach that step." Li Mu pondered.

After hearing this, Xue'er's pretty face flashed a trace of disappointment and worry, and then she smiled again and comforted: "Brother Li, you can do it, I believe it will not be difficult for you!"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, with a trace of bitterness on his face. Although the design of this Hunyuan Sealing Formation has been completed, it is still a long way from using it to seal the ninth-level divine object. It is not easy to increase the power of this formation to a level sufficient to seal the ninth-level divine object.

Unless!

Li Mu quickly thought about all the skills he had mastered. One of them seemed to be able to enhance the power of the array, that is, the three thousand divine patterns, which were formed by integrating the three thousand great ways.

If the divine patterns driven by the refining equipment can be transferred one by one into the Hunyuan Reversal Forbidden Array, then the power of this array will surely get a qualitative leap.

The three thousand divine patterns are the most effective and fastest way to communicate with the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Before, Li Mu spent a lot of energy studying them. Now is the time for these efforts to show results.

However, to integrate the three thousand divine patterns into the array, not only a deep understanding of the divine patterns is required, but also a precise control of the array. Any slight mistake will lead to the collapse of the entire array.

Li Mu devoted himself to the fusion of the array and the divine patterns, but he didn't know that the outside world had already set off a great uproar for him. Many major forces were busy with his deeds because of his appearance.

Just when Li Mu was fully devoted to the deduction and design of the new array, many forces that could not find any clues to his traces turned their attention back to Yin Yang Valley and found the Chaos Absolute Spirit Array left by Li Mu, as well as the extremely yang origin breath left by the ninth-level divine object - Sun Essence Gold.

At this moment, in Yin Yang Valley, the Immortal Demon God came in person, stepped on the edge of the array with both feet, leaned over with his huge body, stared at the traces of the Chaos Absolute Spirit Array, and his eyes flashed with a faint light that could see through everything. He stretched out a magic palm, palm up, and gently moved it. The surrounding air seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, gathering into a stream of information, pouring into his palm.

"This array is extraordinary. It has the same purpose as the Chaos Array that seals the passage of the three realms. The person who can set up this array is worthy of being a genius who practices the Chaos Avenue. It's amazing, really amazing!" The Immortal Demon God whispered, and his voice echoed in the valley like thunder, as if he was quite praising.

"There is a lot of extremely yang origin energy remaining in this formation. It should be a ninth-level yang divine object without a doubt. What exactly is it?

"In order to obtain this object, he did not hesitate to set up this formation and expose himself. This object must be very important to him!"

"Use this to break through the Mahayana realm!"

"No, a mere ninth-level yang divine object is not enough to support him to cultivate the Great Dao!"

...

The Immortal Demon God talked to himself, his mind was running fast, as if he was having a fierce debate with himself, his pair of demon pupils were sometimes solemn, sometimes flashing with dim light, and he had a deep insight into Li Mu's motives.

At this time, several Mahayana domain masters who were guarding on the side suddenly walked out and said: "Master Demon God, I roughly know what the Chaos Cultivator has taken away!"

"Oh! Hei Wu, do you know?" The Immortal Demon God turned around, staring at the Hei Wu domain master with a pair of demon pupils.

"Master Demon, the Three Realms Sealing Array is composed of seven sub-arrays, including the five elements, yin and yang, and each sub-array uses a ninth-level divine object as the array core. Now that the Three Realms Sealing Array has disintegrated, the seven ninth-level divine objects have also been scattered to all directions. As far as I know, this sun gold is the array core of the sub-array representing the power of 'yang' in the sealing array back then." Lord Hei Wuyu looked at the Immortal Demon God respectfully and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, the Immortal Demon God frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes: "So that's how it is. No wonder this person would seize the Sun Essence Gold at all costs. It turns out that he wants to recast the Three Realms Sealing Array!"

"Recast the Sealing Array?" The Blood Blade Domain Lord next to him couldn't help but show surprise when he heard this. "How is this possible? The Three Realms Sealing Array was jointly laid by the seven ancient Dao Realm masters. Its complexity is definitely not something that one person can do. What's more, now that the array has disintegrated, even if he re-lays it, so what!"

"Sir, this person is not only proficient in array art, but also good at refining. The ninth-level divine object is a first-class refining divine object. If he can collect seven ninth-level divine objects, he may be able to refine some incredible artifacts, and it is possible to break through to the next realm!" The Black Domain Lord was moved and analyzed again.

Hearing this, the face of the Immortal Demon God changed slightly. If a cultivator who can set up formations and refine weapons and has set foot on the Chaos Avenue really lets him collect seven ninth-level divine objects, the consequences will be disastrous.

If he really collects seven divine objects and uses them to advance to the Mahayana Dao Lord, it will be difficult to kill him!

Definitely!

He must not succeed!

The Immortal Demon God's mind was racing, and his eyes flashed with determination and ruthlessness. He must not sit idly by and watch the Chaos cultivator collect seven ninth-level divine objects, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Pass the order down, from now on, you will search the entire spirit world comprehensively, at all costs, to find the whereabouts of the other six ninth-level divine objects!" The Immortal Demon God was as cold as ice, looking at his subordinates and ordered.

"Yes!"

The surrounding domain lords and demon lords all took the order.

The Immortal Demon God then added: "Remember, our goal is not only to find these divine objects, but more importantly, to get them in our hands before that Chaos Cultivator!"

The domain lords and demon lords responded in unison, and then quickly took action, mobilizing the Demon Abyss army and starting an unprecedented large-scale search operation.

...

Xuantian Sword Sect, the meeting hall.

Elder Xuantian looked at the intelligence jade slip in his hand, frowning, with a solemn look in his eyes. The intelligence jade slip recorded the latest dynamic information about Li Mu, and the news that the Immortal Demon God ordered a comprehensive search for the ninth-level divine objects.

"Elder Li, he finally showed up, and he was able to attract the Immortal Demon God's attention. It seems that he must be captured!" Elder Xuantian whispered to himself, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Sect Master, we can't just sit back and watch!" Chen Qingxuan hurriedly spoke up and suggested.

"Yes! Sect Master, if Elder Li can really gather seven ninth-level divine objects and recast the Three Realms Sealing Array, it will be a huge contribution to the entire spiritual world. But if it falls into the hands of the Immortal Demon God, the consequences will be disastrous." Feng Wuhen also stood up and said anxiously.

Decades have passed, and the invasion of the Demon Abyss into the spiritual world has caused great casualties to the human cultivators. Both cultivators and ordinary people live in endless fear.

The reason why many sects and immortal cultivation families in the spiritual world have not been completely destroyed by the Demon Abyss forces is entirely because they rely on the intervention of the Immortal Spirit World. However, they are after all external forces, and their relationship with the human race in the spiritual world is complicated and cannot be fully trusted.

Now, the appearance of Li Mu has become a ray of hope for the human race in the spiritual world. He is not only a practitioner of the Chaos Avenue, but also a key figure who may recast the Three Realms Sealing Array and resist the invasion of the Demon Abyss.

Since ancient times, the Chaos Path has been the most mysterious way of cultivation in the world. The laws and power contained in it are so great that even the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Spirit World would be surprised. As a practitioner of the Chaos Path, Li Mu's existence itself is a miracle, and he is also an important force for the human race in the Spirit World to fight against the Immortal Demon God. If he fails and is unfortunately killed by the Immortal Demon God, then the human race will lose the hope of rising again.

"We really can't let Elder Li fight alone, but Elder Li has been away from the sect for so many years and has no intention of returning to the sect to rely on us. Let's forget about asking him to come back." Elder Xuantian pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen and others, and said decisively: "Qingxuan, Wuheng, you two lead a group of elite disciples to secretly search for the whereabouts of several ninth-level divine objects. Xuanming, Jianchen, you continue to pay attention to the movements of the Demon Abyss forces, and then contact other sects and immortal cultivation families to strive for their support."

"Yes! Sect Master." Everyone answered in unison, and then each took the order and went away, taking action quickly.

…

On the other side, the palace of the Tianfeng Immortal Emperor was magnificent, surrounded by clouds and mist, and solemn.

The Tianfeng Immortal Emperor, wearing a luxurious immortal robe, sat on the throne, with majesty between his eyebrows. Below, a group of high-ranking officials of the Immortal Palace sat upright and talked about it. The focus of the discussion was about the whereabouts of the Chaos Practitioner - Li Mu, and the Immortal Demon God ordered his subordinates to search for the ninth-level divine objects.

"What do you think of the purpose of the Chaos Practitioner Li Mu taking the ninth-level divine objects?" Tianfeng Immortal Emperor asked, looking down at his subordinates.

"Immortal Emperor, since Li Mu can set up a chaos formation to ban the ninth-level divine objects, it is obvious that he has a very deep attainment in the way of formations. He took the ninth-level divine objects, perhaps to refine powerful magic weapons." An immortal official replied respectfully.

"There is another possibility. He can use these seven ninth-level divine objects to set up a chaos array, which may improve his cultivation level and advance to the Mahayana stage!"

"If this is true, then his ambition and strength are far beyond our imagination. But the Mahayana stage is not trivial. Even with the help of ninth-level divine objects, it may not be easy!"

"This person can cultivate the Chaos Avenue, so he naturally has extraordinary abilities. The Seven Yang Array Eye of the Three Realms Sealing Array is a ninth-level divine object that gathers yin and yang, five elements, and seven major paths. If it is arranged again, with his ability, it is not a problem to arrange a chaos array for the realm of Chaos Avenue!"

...

The immortal officials talked one after another, and the discussion became more and more intense. Various speculations and inferences emerged one after another, providing many directions for Tianfeng Immortal Emperor.

Tianfeng Immortal Emperor's eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about various possibilities.

"Immortal Emperor, we must be on guard against this. If he really uses the ninth-level divine object to advance to the Mahayana stage, the power of the Chaos Mahayana cultivator will be enough to shake the Immortal Emperor!" said an immortal general worriedly.

"Yes, we must find and stop him before he collects all seven ninth-level divine objects." Another immortal official added: "But the problem is that it is not easy to find his whereabouts! This Chaos Great Dao cultivator has extremely high attainments in hiding and escaping."

"I have a plan. We can use the subordinates of the Immortal Demon God and let them continue to search for the whereabouts of the ninth-level divine objects. Send an elite team to secretly follow these demon gods' subordinates and infer their location through their actions." An immortal official with white hair and beard and immortal style suggested.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. This plan is very good!" A female immortal official hurriedly praised with a smile.

Tianfeng Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with approval, and ordered: "Baimei's plan is good, but we still need to act with caution. The Immortal Demon God and his subordinates are not good people, so we need to use them with caution to prevent them from biting us."

"I have decided that Qingyuan Immortal Lord and Fengjiu Immortal Lord will lead this task." Tianfeng Immortal Emperor looked at the two peerless immortal lords below the hall and ordered.

Hearing the order, the two stepped forward together. Qingyuan Immortal Lord was wearing a turquoise fairy skirt, and the skirt fluttered lightly, like the most vibrant green in spring.

Fengjiu Immortal Lord was wearing a fiery red fairy robe, and his smile was full of confidence.

"Subordinates! As ordered!"

The two bowed in unison.

"You must be careful on this trip. The Immortal Demon God is cunning and his subordinates are not ordinary people. You must not only find the traces of the Chaos Cultivator, but also ensure your own safety! If you need support, activate the Phoenix Order immediately!" Tianfeng Immortal Emperor looked at the two of them and warned them with some concern.
