Li Mu's consciousness slowly swelled in that deep and strange space, as if it was merged with the stars in the sky. His mind followed the ancient and majestic voice and gradually penetrated into the mysterious refining core of the Wanbao Cauldron.
"The Chaos Furnace, the Five Elements Reincarnation, the Tiangang and Earth Demons, the Star Sacrifice and Refining, the Spirit Treasure Returning to the Truth..." The voice was like the Hong Zhong Dalu coming from the sky, shocking Li Mu's mind and making it thrilling.
At this moment, a magnificent painting appeared before Li Mu's eyes: between the vast world, a majestic furnace stood tall, and the burning of the furnace was not the fire of the ordinary, but the gathering of countless stars The star fires formed are burning in the furnace, melting all things, turning them into the purest energy, and finally condense into the initial form of a cauldron.
After a while, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes, with a silver light flashing in his eyes, as if there was still the mark of the vast starry sky, deep and mysterious. His mind was still immersed in his previous insights, and the method of refining the Wanbao Cauldron has been deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul.
"So that's it... The method of refining Wanbao Cauldron is not only limited to refining weapons, but also the supreme method of refining heaven, earth, and all things. It finally created a Taoist weapon that is unique in its territory." Li Mu's I suddenly realized my heart, as if I had broken the existing bottleneck of refining weapons and had a deeper understanding of the way of refining weapons.
The ninth-level Taoist weapon of Wanbao Ding is definitely not an ordinary thing. It uses a refining technique using heaven and earth as furnace, sparks as firewood, and all spirits as materials. Its exquisiteness is far better than the eighth level of heavenly fire weapon refining method. The Wanbao Cauldron is not only a method of refining weapons, but also a method of "seeding" Tao.
The so-called method of "seeding" is to regard the refining process of Wanbao Cauldron as a kind of fertilization and growth of life. Taking the heaven and earth as the furnace is not only to melt all things, but also to provide this "Tao Seed" with a broad world, so that it can gradually awaken under the nourishment of the furnace and show its unique vitality. The spark is the key to igniting this "Tao Seed". The fire of stars contains endless energy and mystery, which can stimulate the inner potential of the "Tao Seed" and enable it to transform and sublimate during combustion. "All spirits" are used as materials to provide rich nutrients for this "Tao seed". Everything has spirits. Each material contains unique attributes and laws. Integrating these materials into the furnace is like Gather the essence of all things into the "cauldron" to provide continuous nourishment for the growth of the "Tao Seed".
As time goes by, the "Tao Seed" thrives in the furnace, and its roots penetrate deep into the world, absorbing endless spiritual energy and laws. And its branches and leaves extend towards the starry sky, resonating with the stars, and absorbing the power of the stars. In this process, the "Tao Seed" not only gained strong vitality and creativity, but also gradually formed its own unique will and laws.
Finally one day, the "Tao Seed" broke out of the cocoon and turned into a dazzling Wanbao Cauldron. This cauldron not only has unparalleled power, but also contains the wisdom and laws of all things in the world, and forms a world of its own. With the nourishment of the essence of Wanbao, it can only exert its true power after thousands of years.
This kind of weapon refining method has far surpassed the weapon refining skills mastered by Li Mu. However, although the method of refining Wanbao Cauldron is extremely mysterious, its requirements are far beyond Li Mu's imagination. Even though he has mastered the method of refining, it is not worth the effort to put it into practice. What's more, he has already embarked on his own chaotic path, so he naturally does not need to rely on this "side-leaning path".
However, special weapon refining methods such as Wanbao Ding have brought great inspiration to Li Mu. He sat upright in the weapon refining room of the Five Elements Spirit Palace, his eyes slightly closed and his face showed a solemn look. His mind had transcended the constraints of his body and sank into the sea of consciousness, trying to get a glimpse of the ultimate treasure in the cave world - the opportunity to refine the treasure house in the painting world from the method of refining the Wanbao Cauldron.
The eighth-level cave heaven’s treasure painting world treasure house is one of the most important trump cards in Li Mu’s hand. It forms a world in it, and all things grow, and laws form their own. However, the refining techniques of Baofu in the painting world are relatively ordinary and have not profound background. Its ability to be promoted to the eighth level was entirely due to Li Mu's integration into the Five Elements Spirit Mountain, feeding him a large number of high-level spiritual materials, devouring the dragon-type spiritual veins, and luckily surviving the weapon disaster. The spirit of Baofu has always begged Li Mu to reshape his weapon foundation.
At this moment, a strong impulse surged in Li Mu's heart, which was to use the method of refining Wanbao Cauldron to carry out a thorough transformation and sublimation of the treasure house in the painting world.
The Chaos Dao Seed made a clear sound in his dantian, as if telling a possibility. If the Wanbao Ding’s concept of “seeding Tao” is reversed, it is not to use the furnace of heaven and earth to nurture Tao seeds, but to directly implant the Tao seeds into the ready-made “celestial world” - the treasure house of the painting world!
What the treasure house in the painting world has never lacked is the accumulation of spiritual power, but a spiritual core that can control all things.
In Li Mu's sea of consciousness, an amazing deduction picture gradually emerged. If the Chaos Taoist species replace the center of the painting world with the Chaos Taoist species, the scroll itself becomes a fertile ground for cultivating Taoist species. Those solidified mountains and rivers can be transformed into the roots of the Tao seeds and absorb the power of the chaotic void; restrictions from all dynasties will reconstruct the spiritual vein network; even the thousands of magic weapons stored in the scroll can be used as nutrients for the transformation of the Tao seeds.
However, the problem also emerged, and Li Mu's flawless fingers suddenly stopped, causing ripples in the void. The method of refining Wanbao Ding emphasizes "sparks are firewood", but the treasure mansion in the painting world has long been established. How can we ignite the Taoist seed without destroying the existing cave heaven?
"Killing Fire..." Li Mu felt something, and a curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Chaos Dao originally encompasses the birth and death of all things. If the residual marks of the heavenly tribulation are refined into the fire that ignites the Taoist seeds, let the catastrophe fire and chaos arouse each other... This thought made Li Mu's soul tremble, as if he had touched a certain taboo realm.
Li Mu closed his eyes and fell into deeper deductions. He saw the Chaos Dao Seed take root and sprout in the center of the painting world. The root system spreads along the ban veins laid by monks of all generations, transforming those rigid formations into spiritual blood vessels; branches and trunks The illusion of landscapes that penetrate the surface of the scroll and stretches into a building that supports the heaven and earth in the void chaos;
...
Ten days passed by, and the spiritual treasure mirror buzzed, interrupting Li Mu's sudden enlightenment.
Li Mu woke up with his eyes open, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He then calmed down, raised his hand and summoned the spiritual treasure mirror from Tianxuan Ring.
The spiritual treasure mirror shines brightly, and the mirror surface lights up again.
Soon, Wan Ziliang's figure appeared in the mirror, but there was a hint of unconcealed excitement in his eyes and signaled: "Fellow Daoist Mu, the ten-day period has arrived. Fortunately, I have saved my life. I have already obtained all the spiritual materials you need. Collect all."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "The Lord Wan is indeed capable of collecting such rare spiritual materials in just ten days, which is really admirable."
Wan Ziliang waved his hand and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Mu has been awarded too much. Although my Wanbao Pavilion has some background, I have tried my best to get it all together this time. However, since the things that fellow Taoist needs have been prepared, I don't know the master of the Pavilion Let..."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master Wan, I, Li Mu, have always believed in my words. Since the Pavilion has fulfilled my promise, I will naturally return the order of the Pavilion Master."
"I don't know where Fellow Daoist Mu is. Let's make an appointment for a suitable place to trade?" Wan Ziliang asked with concern.
Li Mu nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suggested, "People of Wan, why don't we make an appointment to trade in Yunyin Immortal City?" When Wan Ziliang heard this, his expression changed slightly, a trace of haze flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Mu My fellow Taoist doesn’t know that Yunyin Sect has been destroyed, and Yunyin Immortal City no longer exists.”
Li Mu frowned slightly and asked in surprise: "Don't exist anymore?"
"Fellow Daoist Mu must have not been active in Zhongzhou for a long time." Wan Ziliang sighed and slowly introduced: "Since the seal was opened two hundred years ago, the fairy spirit world and the demon abyss world invaded this world, the Zhongzhou spirit world has long been no longer the same as before. As a large sect fairy city, Yunyin Immortal City is naturally a thorn in the eyes of the Demon Abyss forces and a thorn in the flesh. It was destroyed by the Demon Abyss a hundred years ago. The city was destroyed and people were destroyed, turning into ruins. "
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a turbulent wave in his heart. After the seal formation collapsed, he fled from Zhongzhou as soon as possible, hiding everywhere, and secretly sealing off several ninth-level divine objects that were left behind. He was not very clear about the situation in the outside world. Now After hearing that Yunyin Immortal City had been destroyed for a hundred years, I couldn't help but feel a little sad and emotional.
Li Mu was silent for a moment, calmed down and asked, "I didn't expect that Yunyin Immortal City had been destroyed for a hundred years, and the world was impermanent, which is a pity. Since this is the case, can Master Wan have other suitable trading locations to recommend?"
Wan Ziliang pondered for a moment and said, "The situation in Zhongzhou is now complicated and all forces are entrenched. It is not easy to find a safe place to trade. However, my Wanbao Pavilion still has many branches in Zhongzhou. If Fellow Dao Mu doesn't If you mind, you can go to 'Tianyuan City', where you are backed by the power of immortals and are safe."
"Tianyuan City?" Li Mu nodded slightly, thinking in his heart that he probably knew this place.
"Okay, then I'll be in Tianyuan City." Li Mu agreed readily, then changed his subject and asked tentatively: "Master Wan, I haven't been walking in Zhongzhou for a long time and I don't know much about the current situation. I don't know the major majorities in Zhongzhou today. What is the power? Is Xuantian Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and the eight major immortal cultivation families still there? ”
When Wan Ziliang heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes and said slowly: "Since Fellow Daoist Mu asked, I will tell you a little bit in detail. Although the Xuantian Sword Sect is not destroyed, it is no longer the grand occasion of the past. . Since the invasion of the Demon Abyss, Xuantian Sword Sect has suffered heavy losses, and most of the masters of the sect have died. Now they are backed by Taixuan Sword Sect, and they can still be in a corner and barely protect themselves."
"As for Taiyi Sect..." Wan Ziliang paused, with a bit of solemnity in his tone, "Taiyi Sect, alas, it's already storm, and it's divided into two."
Wan Ziliang continued to introduce to Li Mu: "A hundred years ago, in a large-scale invasion of the Demon Abyss forces, Taiyi Sect was the first to be hit and suffered heavy losses. As a result, serious differences arose within the sect, and a faction advocated uniting the fairy world to fight against the Demon Abyss; Another faction believes that it should temporarily avoid its edge, preserve its strength, and swear to defend the sect's inheritance to the death, waiting for a comeback in the future."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"The two factions have been quarrel, and eventually evolved into internal struggle." Wan Ziliang sighed, with a little regret in his tone, and continued: "The Taiyi Sect was therefore divided into the 'Taiyi Immortal Sect' and 'Taiyi Xuanmen'. The Taiyi Immortal Sect' advocated Cooperating with the Immortal Spirit World, now relying on the forces of the Immortal Spirit World, moved to the vicinity of Tianyuan City, and barely maintained with the help of the Immortal Spirit World; while Taiyi Xuanmen retreated to the ancestral land of Taiyi Sect, stayed in the door and vowed to protect the foundation of the sect to the death. Unfortunately, even so, Taiyi Xuanmen is still repeatedly invaded by the Demon Abyss forces and is now in danger."
Upon hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As one of the most powerful sects in Zhongzhou, Taiyi Sect was once so brilliant, but now it has ended up like this, which shows how profound the destruction of the invasion of the Demon Abyss has on the spiritual world.
"What about the eight immortal cultivation families?" Li Mu continued to ask.
"Eight Great Immortal Cultivation Family..." Wan Ziliang shook his head, with a little regret in his tone, and introduced to Li Mu in detail: "Three of the eight Great Immortal Cultivation Family have been completely destroyed, and the remaining five have also suffered great energy. Among them, The Nangong family, Ji family, and the Kun family barely maintained their family foundation, but their strength was not as strong as before. As for the other two families, they were already dead in name only, and the children in the clan were scattered, and the family industry was divided up by various forces."
After hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The eight major immortal cultivation families, once the pillars of the Zhongzhou immortal cultivation world, are now fragmented, which shows how tragic the catastrophe has hit Zhongzhou.
"Master Wan, the situation in Zhongzhou is so chaotic. I wonder which force can compete with the Demon Abyss?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.
Wan Ziliang smiled bitterly and said, "The Demon Abyss is powerful. Although the major forces in Zhongzhou are willing to compete, they are unable to do so. However, in recent years, a force has risen, called the "Tiandao Alliance". The Tiandao Alliance is composed of major sects and families in Zhongzhou. The remnants of forces formed a united group and the Taixuan Sword Sect, which is backed by the Immortal Spirit Realm, aims to unite human cultivators to resist the Demon Abyss. The Heavenly Dao Alliance is of great strength, but compared with the Demon Abyss and the alien cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Realm, they are still at a disadvantage. ”
"Heavenly Dao Alliance..." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wan Ziliang reminded: "Fellow Daoist Mu, the situation in Zhongzhou is now complicated, the demon clan has joined forces with foreign monks, and all forces are intricate. If you are not careful, you will be involved in disputes. If you want to walk in Zhongzhou, you need to be more careful. .”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Wan, for reminding me, I will act cautiously."
Wan Ziliang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then we will decide on the Tianyuan City transaction. I wonder when will Fellow Daoist Mu arrive?"
"It will take about three or four months. I will contact you when I arrive." Li Mu agreed readily.
"Okay! Wait for the good news of Fellow Daoist Mu!" Wan Ziliang nodded and agreed happily.
Soon, the spiritual treasure mirror became dimming, and Wan Ziliang's figure also dissipated. Li Mu put away the treasure mirror, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that in just two hundred years, Zhongzhou had turned upside down. Today, Zhongzhou, It's no longer what he remembers. (This chapter ends)
