Free Web NovelWatching the young girl gently utter those words, Li Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He couldn't help but recall the evaluation given by the Tianming Divine Eye:
'Her destiny is fraught with tribulations.'
'In the future, she will soar through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.'
She was the Phoenix Heavenly Empress who would rise against the current and spread her wings to fly high.
Qingyuan Sect would be her starting point, but it would not and should not be the cage that confined her.
It seemed sudden, but upon closer thought, had it not been for this fireworks display today, she might have already left.
Moreover. frёewebηovel.cѳm
She said she would pick up the wish he made.
Li Mo looked at the graceful young girl, only to see that her beautiful eyes were deep and clear, completely devoid of the determination to leave, or any worry, only tranquility and gentleness.
Just like the bright Moon that always illuminated him.
"Ice Cube."
"Southern Border is the territory of the Yao Race; your going there will be of no benefit, only adding danger," Ying Bing said softly.
Li Mo shook his head and asked, "Where did that meteor fall?"
"Guess?"
"When do we set off?"
"I won't tell you."
"Alright, I didn't say I was going with you."
"When it's time to go, I'll go."
Ying Bing's lips, like Broken Jade, parted slightly, and she glanced at the red string on the young man's wrist.
Perhaps after a meal, or perhaps one morning, she truly didn't know when she would depart, nor did she know exactly where that jade phoenix god would fall.
However... though she didn't know where she was going, knowing where she would return was enough.
...
The inn's main hall.
By the time Li Mo finished his cultivation, it was already the next morning, and the inn's main hall was exceptionally quiet today.
Xu Xiaoer was sweeping the floor; he had now been promoted to lobby manager—and also a waiter.
Murong Xiao was still sitting there, only a few more incense sticks had been added to the incense burner, and for some reason, someone had piled the leftover food from yesterday there as well.
There were even a few bottles of wine.
Emmmm.
It seemed the beautiful Master had a good drink yesterday, otherwise these few bottles of wine wouldn't be left.
Li Mo casually picked up a bottle and took a sip.
"Brother Murong, for a peaceful life, one must have the strength to shield against wind and rain, don't you agree?"
"If I were in the Ninth Realm now, with a single tremor, the demons of the Southern Border would obediently send over what Ice Cube wants."
"Why don't you help me ask the Buddha?"
Murong Xiao: "..."
As the two were chatting, Li Mo's expression suddenly shifted, and he turned to look.
His Yi Soul was powerful now, yet he hadn't noticed earlier, only realizing someone had entered the inn when he heard footsteps.
It was an old monk dressed in a patched monastic robe, with two white eyebrows hanging down, looking like an ordinary ascetic monk.
"Amitabha," the old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer.
"Great Master, have you come to beg for alms?"
"Amitabha."
No matter what Li Mo asked, the old monk consistently chanted Buddhist prayers.
Li Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, and a profound light flickered in his eyes.
【Name: Hengyuan】
【Age: 82】
【Bone Structure: Thousand-Leaf Hand, Buddha Light Golden Bone.】
【Realm: Outer Scenery Sixth Heaven.】
【Destiny: Blue with Purple】
【Evaluation: Hanging Temple's Discipline Hall Head Monk, has practiced Silent Meditation for fifty years.】
【Recent Encounter: Entrusted by Zhennan King, detected the Demon Summoning Sect's intention, pursued Chang Bolong to Yunzhou, intending to retrieve the 'Reserve Divine Son'.】
Li Mo put down the Concentric Bell in his arms.
The Hanging Temple was the orthodox Buddhist Sect of the Southern Border, its reputation no less than that of the Horizontal Cloud Sword City.
Reserve Divine Son...
Li Mo looked at Murong Xiao, who sat there with a solemn and dignified appearance, like a Bodhisattva.
"Great Master, are you here for him?"
"Amitabha..."
Old Monk Hengyuan nodded slightly, his gaze benevolent as he nodded.
"However, he is a Disciple of my Qingyuan Sect, so you cannot take him away."
Li Mo said earnestly.
Hengyuan shook his head slightly, chanting Buddhist prayers; strangely, he said nothing, yet it made people understand that he had no ill intentions.
Even when Li Mo secretly activated the Taiyin Intent Soul, there was no abnormality.
The old monk walked up to Murong Xiao and saw the 'offerings' placed on the ground, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Only then did he slowly begin to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Immediately.
Golden light from the Golden Bell Shield emanated from Murong Xiao's body, yet vaguely, a faint phantom of a formidable Flood Dragon also appeared.
As the Buddhist scriptures were chanted, the Flood Dragon seemed to be slowly awakening.
"Bloodline Power seems somewhat similar to Divine Intention, yet not entirely the same..."
Li Mo could tell.
This Old Monk Hengyuan was using a Buddhist secret technique to accelerate Murong Xiao's awakening, thus he did not say much.
A moment later.
Although Murong Xiao had not yet awakened, when viewed with the Tianming Divine Eye, he was no longer in a state of slumber.
【Recent Encounter: Received a letter from his parents to return to the Southern Border for a visit, encountered an accident where his Ming Jiaolong Bloodline awakened, falling into a slumber. Now, with the suppression of a high monk, his Bloodline will awaken soon.】
Having completed all of this.
Hengyuan's gaze withdrew from Murong Xiao, he gave Li Mo a deep look, then drifted away.
Li Mo stood in place, his brows furrowed.
He had a feeling he would meet this old monk again.
.....
Three days later.
Autumn deepened, at dusk when the sun had not fully set and the moon had not fully risen.
The faint dark light flickering around Li Mo's body became increasingly restrained; he appeared to have no significant changes, but in reality, his physique was incomparable to before.
Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, Perfection.
At dinner, everyone ate together lively. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Everyone's liveliness was different.
Shang Wu guzzled down fine wine, while Xiao Jiang Princess wiped the broken sword Li Dage bought for her, a sword cry occasionally heard from her palm.
Qian Bufan's chopsticks flew, eating and talking without delay.
Murong Xiao...
Murong Xiao's silence was deafening!
"We're preparing to set off," Qian Bufan said, wiping his mouth with satisfaction, having stayed in Yunzhou for so long, there were many matters in the Sect to attend to.
"Old Qian, let's take a warship back," Shang Wu's almond eyes held a hint of drunkenness.
"What warship? Two xuan crystals, do you think money grows on trees?"
"Hmph~"
"It's not too far a journey anyway, and I have Medicinal Pill orders to deliver to several cities along the way."
"I need to deliver the latest 'the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me' to the cities along the way."
Everyone seemed to have their own tasks for the journey.
"Setting off..."
Li Mo heard the group's conversation, looked at the empty space under the tree, and suddenly his heart stirred.
She was clearly here just a moment ago...
Xiao Li chased out of Yulong Street, all the way to the intersection.
He saw her graceful figure moving away by the shimmering lake, under the twilight of a fiery sunset.
The crowd surged, bustling and noisy.
She seemed to sense something and turned to look back.
Across the crowd, their eyes met.
She first froze, then gave a helpless, enchanting smile.
She hadn't wanted to say goodbye, to avoid adding to the sorrow of parting.
【Name: Ying Bing】
【Age: 16】
【Bone Structure: Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body.】
【Realm: Guan Shen Three Apertures.】
【Destiny: Red (Possessing Emperor Bone, Xuanbing as her fate, Autumn Water as her spirit, with the appearance of Phoenix Heaven)】
【Evaluation: Her destiny is fraught with tribulations, but she always turns danger into good fortune. At this time, her feathers are not yet fully grown, but when the winds and clouds change, she will surely soar high above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a Phoenix presiding over the six harmonies and eight wastes.】
【Recent Encounter: Witnessed the fall of the jade phoenix god, one of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang souls, and set off for the Southern Border.】
She was going to pick up the meteor for the young man.
When that figure disappeared from sight, Li Mo gently exhaled.
When he turned back to the inn, dusk had passed, and the moon had risen above the branches.
"I'm not going back to Ziyang Prefecture," Li Mo told everyone.
Shang Wu blinked her almond eyes, about to speak, but Xue Jing interjected:
"Then what are your plans?"
"Go to the Southern Border, chase the Moon."
She knew where she was going and where she would return.
He did # Nоvеlight # too.
The day he comprehended the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends would be the day he set off for the Southern Border.
