Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

At the moment when the six Dao Pills merged in the chaotic fire, the entire Five Elements Spiritual Mountain and the interior space of the entire Painting World Treasure House seemed to be paused by an invisible giant hand. Waterfalls hung in the air, and water droplets solidified into crystal ice crystals; the spiritual power falling from the top of the mountain stagnated in mid-air, like a still painting; even the breeze flowing in the air seemed to be frozen, and the whole world fell into an eerie silence.

From the dome above the alchemy room, a brilliant beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth, stirring the space of the entire Painting World Treasure House into a boiling turmoil. The beam of light contained endless chaotic power, as if it was going to devour all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Around the beam of light, space was distorted, time was disordered, and even the way of heaven was stagnant at this moment.

The six Dan spirits interweave into a magnificent picture in the chaos. The six Dan spirits release completely different Dao rhymes, colliding and merging with each other, interpreting the most mysterious laws between heaven and earth.

The Samsara Dao Pill exploded, turning into a long blood-red river that ran through the past and present. The shadows of billions of lives floated in the river, each of which represented a reincarnation, life and death, honor and disgrace, rise and fall. The long river seemed to have no end, flowing with endless cause and effect and fate.

The Five Elements Dao Pill collapsed and turned into five towering mountains. Mountains and rivers supported the four poles of heaven and earth. Each mountain represented an innate origin of the five elements: the sharpness of gold, the vitality of wood, the flexibility of water, the fiery fire, and the thickness of earth. They echoed each other, forming a perfect cycle of the five elements, as if interpreting the most basic laws between heaven and earth.

The Taiyi Daodan shattered and turned into countless runes, which condensed into the stars in the sky. Each of the three hundred and sixty stars was a beating Dao rhyme mantra, flashing the light of wisdom. Between the stars, the sound of the Tao could be heard faintly, as if telling the deepest mysteries between heaven and earth.

The Wuji Dao Pill collapsed and turned into a huge chaotic vortex, swallowing everything. The vortex was so deep that even light could not escape its gravitational pull. However, at the end of the chaos, endless primordial air gushed out, giving birth to new life.

The soul-returning elixir dissipated and turned into the six realms of reincarnation. Each wheel was interpreting the mystery of life and death. The living entered reincarnation, and the dead returned to the underworld. Between the six realms, cause and effect circulated endlessly.

The Dao Dan of Creation bloomed, and in the spiritual light, one could vaguely see the vitality of the first judgment of the universe. The spiritual light was soft and warm, as if it could nurture all things and nourish the heaven and earth. In the spiritual light, the shadows of countless creatures vaguely emerged, and each shadow represented the origin of a life.

…

In this wonderland of chaos and order, Li Mu sat cross-legged in the center of the alchemy room. His face was solemn and focused, his eyes were closed, as if he was having a silent conversation with the laws of heaven and earth.

The chaotic essence in Li Mu's body surged like a tide, echoing with the Dao rhyme released by the six Dan spirits, and together they weaved a network connecting the heavens and the earth. As the six Dan spirits further merged, the atmosphere in the alchemy room became more tense, and the chaotic power in the light column became more violent.

At this moment, Xue'er, who was in retreat, suddenly opened her icy eyes, and her nine frost tails exploded uncontrollably into ice lotuses all over the sky. The black ice bed cracked into spider-web-like patterns under the impact of Tao rhyme. She suddenly rushed out of the retreat room, transformed into a human form, and appeared outside the alchemy room in a white dress as white as snow.

Xue'er stared at the strange phenomenon in the sky and earth above the alchemy room, her eyes full of shock and worry, and murmured to herself: "Brother Li, what kind of elixir are you refining that caused such a shocking phenomenon?"

The fire-melting spirit tree where the Red Fire Phoenix lived suddenly combusted itself, and its red-gold feathers stood upright. Her figure flashed and turned into a human form, appearing next to the alchemy room of the Five Elements Spirit Palace, staring at the Tao principles that were evolving above the alchemy room. The endless flames in the chaotic light column were reflected in her pupils, as if she saw the ultimate secret of Nirvana and rebirth.

The Qingyue True Dragon who was practicing in the deep pool suddenly felt a breath that made its heart palpitate. Its closed dragon eyes suddenly opened open, and its huge body instantly turned into a stream of green light, breaking through the water and landing near the alchemy room, and then turned into a man in green.

The Blue Moon True Dragon stared at the abnormal situation of the Heavenly Dao above, and his blue eyes could not hide the shock. Soon, his eyes were attracted by the true meaning of water that was constantly evolving in the chaotic light column. The water element of the Five Elements Dao Pill collapsed and turned into a vast river in the void, containing the great truth of water, as if interpreting the ultimate mystery of the water law between heaven and earth.

The Milky Way was reflected in the pupils of the Qingyue True Dragon, and ripples appeared in the originally calm dragon eyes. His slender body trembled slightly, and one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred dragon scales appeared around his body, and mysterious water patterns appeared on each scale.

"This is the true meaning of the great way of water!" Qingyue True Dragon murmured to himself, with irrepressible excitement in his voice. He practiced hard for thousands of years, trying to comprehend the true meaning of water in the dragon clan's heritage, but he was never able to get in. But at this moment, the doubts that had troubled him for many years were answered in this chaotic light column.

Soon, a virtual water shadow appeared behind the Blue Moon True Dragon, transforming into a green dragon shadow that circled up. Countless virtual shadows of water droplets emerged around the dragon shadow, echoing the Milky Way in the chaotic light column.

Qingyue Zhenlong only felt that his sea of ​​consciousness exploded, and countless profound insights about the laws of water came flooding in like a tide.

As the epiphany deepened, the virtual water shadows around the Blue Moon True Dragon became more and more solid, and the circling blue dragon shadow seemed to come alive. The sound of the dragon's roar echoed in the void, carrying with it a shocking power, causing the air around it to move with it. The virtual shadows of water droplets swirled around the dragon shadow, and every collision burst out with brilliant splashes of water. That was the most intuitive display of the law of water. Every drop of water contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and interpreted the ever-changing nature of water.

Xue'er and Chilian Fire Phoenix all looked at him sideways.

Just as the Qingyue True Dragon was in a state of enlightenment, the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, the Black Jade Rock Lizard, the Green Jade Ginseng King, the Azure Dragon - Qinglin, and the Tongbi Demon Ape all appeared near the alchemy room.

"What is this?" The ape's eyes glowed with golden light. He stared at the chaotic light column above the alchemy room and said excitedly, "This aura makes my fighting spirit boil!"

"Yes! This power makes my blood boil!" The Black Jade Rock Lizard said in a muffled voice. At this moment, the shadow of a rock lizard emerged behind it, with its four claws deeply embedded in the ground. Countless shadows of earth veins emerged around its body, echoing the power of the earth veins in the chaotic light column.

The Jade Ginseng King exuded a faint spiritual light, and the shadow of the Ginseng King appeared behind him. He said in surprise: "This strange fluctuation contains the purest vitality between heaven and earth. I seem to see the scene when all things were first born. This is of immeasurable help to us."

Qinglong Qinglin's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness, but more of a yearning for the mysteries of the heavens contained in the chaotic light column: "Yes! Brother Qingyue has gained the opportunity for enlightenment, but unfortunately, we can only watch and cannot directly benefit from it."

Hearing this, all the beasts looked with envy at the Qingyue True Dragon and the true spiritual vision that occurred when he suddenly realized.

As the dragon might emanating from the body of the Qingyue True Dragon became more and more powerful, and the green dragon shadow behind him that seemed to come alive echoed with the Milky Way in the chaotic light column, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to have received some kind of call and began to gather towards the Qingyue True Dragon in a mysterious and orderly manner. The flow of spiritual energy contained the rhythm of the great way of water, resonating with the true meaning of water in the Qingyue True Dragon's body, making his aura continue to grow stronger.

Seeing this scene, the Beastmasters found it increasingly difficult to conceal their envy.

The blue-eyed golden ape clenched his fists, his golden pupils flashing with a fiery light, and said excitedly: "Brother Qingyue is so lucky that he can use the master's alchemy vision to realize the true meaning of the great way of water!"

The Black Jade Rock Lizard couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, although we all have extraordinary blood and talents, we always seem small and powerless in front of the laws of heaven. Brother Qingyue's coincidence this time is undoubtedly a great opportunity that comes rarely seen in a lifetime."

However, Xue'er looked at the strange light column with worry in her eyes. She said anxiously, "Brother Li, what kind of elixir are you refining? This strange phenomenon is so shocking. What if something goes wrong..."

Seeing Xue'er's worry, the blue-eyed golden ape quickly comforted her, "Master has unparalleled magical powers and skills, and will surely be able to refine the magic pill safely."

The Black Jade Rock Lizard followed suit: "Yes! You don't need to worry too much. Since the master dares to try such an amazing thing, he must have a foolproof plan. We just need to wait for good news."

The Jade Ginseng King stroked his beard and said soothingly, "Miss Xue'er, everything in the world has its destiny. The master's alchemy this time is also in accordance with the will of heaven. You can relax, the master will succeed."

After a pause, the Jade Ginseng King looked at everyone and added, "This is a rare opportunity. The Dao Dan refined by the master overflows with the laws of heaven, which are mysterious and unpredictable. We should calm down and suddenly realize the great Dao. If we can take this opportunity to glimpse the true meaning of the great Dao, we can save hundreds of years of hard training, and we are more likely to obtain great fortune and directly break through the bottleneck of the true spirit."

Upon hearing this, all the beast masters stopped talking and focused their attention on the strange vision of the Heavenly Dao, trying to glimpse an opportunity from it.

Xue'er nodded, staring at the strange vision above the alchemy room, calming down, trying to capture the slightest fluctuations of laws flowing in the chaotic light column. Her icy eyes flashed with wisdom, as if they could penetrate the surface and see directly to the essence. Waves of icy power surged quietly, forming a sharp contrast with the hot breath in the chaotic light column, but coexisting in a kind of wonderful balance.

At this moment, in the alchemy room, Li Mu's whole body of chaotic power was condensed, and the alchemy formula formed by his hands became more and more dazzling. The Chaos Zhenyuan Plate was spinning wildly above his head, and three hundred and sixty array patterns left an eternal mark in the void, madly absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth and evolving chaos.

"The six absolutes return to the origin, and the Tao extends to the infinite!" Li Mu shouted in a deep and stern voice.

The six elixir spirits let out earth-shattering wails and gradually collapsed under the smelting of the Chaos True Fire. The long river of reincarnation converged into blood-colored threads, the five-colored mountains melted into the essence of the five elements, and the stars in the sky condensed into chains of Dao patterns... When the last bit of resistance was swallowed by the chaos, the alchemy furnace suddenly burst into absolute silence that silenced all things.

At the moment when absolute silence reached its peak, a dazzling divine light suddenly burst out from the alchemy furnace, as if billions of stars suddenly blossomed in it, illuminating the entire alchemy room like daylight. That light contained endless chaos and order, both destruction and rebirth, as if it was the first ray of dawn when the world was first created, both gentle and full of power.

"The six absolutes merge into one!" Li Mu shouted loudly, and the chaotic true essence was poured into the Starlight Alchemy Furnace in an endless stream.

When Li Mu's roar tore through the void, the strange light column above the alchemy room suddenly collapsed, and completely different Taoist rhymes began to disintegrate and merge: the Samsara vision flowed like a long river of blood, the Five Elements vision condensed into five-colored mountains, the Taiyi vision was engraved with the true words of the stars, the Wuji vision was a surging whirlpool, the Reincarnation vision lingered around the Six Paths Soul Wheels, and the Creation vision bloomed with the primordial spiritual light, and they all disintegrated.

As the six different visions disintegrated and merged, the entire painting world suddenly faded. The grass and trees faded into chaotic air currents, the mountains collapsed into primitive particles, and even the flowing spiritual springs rolled back into phantoms in the long river of time. Only at the location of the alchemy furnace, the six original divine lights dyed the faded world with brilliant Taoist rhymes again - the red divine fire burned the sky and boiled the sea, the dark yellow earth veins reshaped the mountains and rivers, the green wood Taoist seeds sprouted all things, the white gold edge split the void, the black water true meaning flooded the eight wastelands, the purple thunder tribulation light split the chaos, and the last chaotic divine light swallowed up all the visions.

Soon, a colorful divine rainbow rose from the alchemy room and pierced the sky. An ancient and mysterious aura surged out from it, instantly filling the entire Five Elements Spiritual Mountain, stirring up the originally static spiritual energy of heaven and earth again. In the colorful divine rainbow, red was like a raging flame, green was like a blue lake, blue was like the deep sea, yellow was like fertile soil, white was like ice, purple contained the underworld, and black hid the void. Each color represented an extreme power, and when intertwined together, it was the most perfect harmony between heaven and earth.

"Seven Deadly Return!" As Li Mu roared, the remaining consciousness of the six Dan spirits wailed for the last time. The blood-colored river dried up into cinnabar Dan patterns, the five-colored mountains melted into the five elements Dan Qi, the star-dou mantras were imprinted on the Dan surface, and the chaotic vortex turned into Dan vortex... The power of the six Dan gradually merged under the smelting of the chaotic fire, and a seven-colored Dan embryo emerged in the heart of the furnace. The surface of the Dan embryo was covered with mysterious Dao patterns, and each pattern contained an extreme Dao rhyme.

Li Mu took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and the chaotic true essence poured into the pill embryo like a tide.

"Seven Absolute Dao Pill, done!" With a low shout from Li Mu, the pill embryo suddenly exploded, and a crystal clear Seven Absolute Dao Pill floated up from the Xinghui Pill Furnace. The seven-colored Dao patterns on the surface of the pill body flowed endlessly, as if it came alive, releasing waves of peaceful and mysterious auras, which resonated with the chaotic true essence in Li Mu's body. An indescribable power surged in his body, giving his tired body and mind a little comfort.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and the Qi Jue Dao Dan fell into his palm. The pill was warm and the Dao rhyme flowed. A surge of medicinal power surged out of the pill, as if it could communicate between heaven and earth and reshape all things.

"Finally... it worked. The Qijue Daodan is finally done!"

Li Mu's eyes flashed with passion, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. (End of this chapter)
