Free Web NovelThe stars trembled, and the jiangshan sheji map rolled like waves, resembling a burning bonfire, an extremely powerful pressure suppressing the Dijin universe.
That night, many people were awakened.
The jiangshan sheji map represents the Great Yu Dynasty's suppression of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, signifying that all land under heaven belongs to the King.
But in the eyes of some Controlling Mystery powerhouses, the trembling of the jiangshan sheji map clearly carried a hint of unease.
What... what does this mean?
After tonight, the already bottomless deep pool of Dijin might stir up some ripples.
And the instigator is currently at the top of Buyun Tower.
Li Mo looked at a page of golden scripture on the table, his face blank.
"Oh my god, that commotion just now, it couldn't be... this thing, could it?"
"This shouldn't be..."
Li Mo muttered to himself.
He hadn't even stamped the Gilded Heavenly Book Seal yet, it was just the Mithril Heavenly Book Seal. Even with the Gilded Heavenly Book Seal before, he had never seen something like this happen.
But everything came too coincidentally.
Li Mo quickly went to the table and picked up the page of golden scripture.
The paper looked like gold foil, but its weight was astonishing; even the mighty God Hammer Little Overlord felt it was incredibly heavy in his hands.
It clearly stated:
"Eight Nine Arcane Art, Part One"
'This chapter is the first part of the Eight Nine Arcane Art, for Body Refining. Upon entering the Dao, one can achieve the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Dao Body; upon entering Buddhism, one can achieve the Bodhi Lapis Lazuli Golden Body. There are many divine abilities, all to be achieved through trials.'
'This method cannot be cultivated by ordinary bodies; otherwise, myriad tribulations will befall one, and numerous Karma will be ground away, ultimately leading to death and the dissipation of the Dao.'
"No wonder..."
Li Mo seemed to suddenly understand why there were such astonishing phenomena outside.
The emergence of the Eight Nine Arcane Art made everything reasonable.
This is the method of the True Lord Erlang Manifesting Sage, and there's an even more mystical saying... this method originated from the Great God Pangu... Anyway, in various mythological works, there's quite a bit of debate about whether Erlang Shen or Sun Wukong is stronger, and a large part of the reason for this is attributed to this arcane art.
"Put it away first."
"With such a big commotion, no one knows what will happen."
Li Mo didn't rush to comprehend it; he first put the page of golden scripture into the System space.
Even if the Heavenly King Laozi came, he wouldn't find this thing on him.
Afterward, he went to bed fully clothed, not even entering the Small World.
Indeed.
In the middle of the night, he sensed a vast and majestic aura sweeping through Buyun Tower. That pressure was simply terrifying, like an ant standing on a dirt mound, looking up at humans.
But the pressure came and went quickly.
The next morning.
Li Mo woke up as usual, as if nothing had happened, though he hadn't slept at all the entire night.
He picked up the golden scripture again and activated Martial Arts Comprehension, striving to master it as quickly as possible.
Immediately, his Martial Arts Comprehension, which was a little over two thousand years, turned into one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five years.
【Fifty years of Martial Arts Comprehension successfully injected.】
【Year one, you look at the words on the golden scripture but are always unable to decipher them. The words on it are unusual, seemingly not meant to express a single meaning, yet they can be interconnected with other words.】
【Year twenty-two, in these years, you diligently summarized what you learned and finally understood the true meaning within.】 freewёbnoνel.com
【Year thirty-eight, this method requires experiencing tribulations, tempering oneself with various calamities; it cannot be achieved through isolated study. You begin to meticulously research each type of calamity.】
【Year fifty, you have mastered the first method of inducing tribulations to forge the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Dao Body.】
【Eight Nine Arcane Art, Getting Started.】
Li Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead; this was even harder to comprehend than swordsmanship.
But there was also good news.
The Eight Nine Arcane Art could be tempered with Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements, at least the first part could.
As for other methods... Li Mo hadn't thought of any yet.
But there's always a way when you get to it; perhaps the investment feedback would provide it.
"For now, I still have to go blacksmithing..."
Having received too much information at once, Li Mo's head felt a bit fuzzy.
He pushed open the door and went out. Just as he stepped out, Ying Bing happened to be coming downstairs. Their eyes met, and both were stunned, like two Silly Goose meeting.
Well, Li Mo was a bit dumber.
Ying Bing shifted her gaze aside, her peripheral vision still observing Xiao Li.
"You... didn't sleep either?"
"Yeah, I was woken up by the commotion outside."
Li Mo yawned, a little groggy from the Martial Arts Comprehension infusion:
"I should have Dual Cultivated last night."
"Hmm... I want breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Ying Bing's face was expressionless, but her heart was actually beating a little faster.
"!!"
Chef Li's heart also accelerated, his body visibly stiffening.
Fortunately, the Ice Cube wasn't planning to cook.
"I want to go inside and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) see." freewebnøvel.com
"It's fine, wait for me in the lobby for a bit, it'll be ready soon."
"Take me."
Ying Bing lowered her eyes, her delicate hand gently tugging at Xiao Li's sleeve.
You call the Ice Cube aloof and domineering, yet her small hand tugs at your sleeve, speaking softly and earnestly.
You call her gentle, yet she gives you no room to refuse.
Xiao Li found himself unable to cope.
So he could only, with a heavy heart, take the Ice Cube's small hand and go with her to the back kitchen.
The back kitchen was bustling with activity at this time.
"Hmm? That Prodigy, Hidden Dragon Fourth, is here again?"
"How strange. They say a gentleman keeps his distance from the kitchen, yet he runs to the kitchen every day. Why?"
"Could it be a hobby? His ingredients are rare even in Dijin..."
"First time seeing a Dragon of Hidden Potential who likes to cook..."
At the front of the kitchen, Li Mo peeked his head in.
Soon, the busy chefs and waiters in the kitchen fell silent. One chef even put vinegar instead of soy sauce without realizing it.
You couldn't blame him.
Because the kitchen, filled with the smell of cooking, welcomed a Fairy who seemed untouched by worldly affairs.
Li Mo ignored them and walked to the cooking utensils he had purchased, taking out today's ingredients.
Whoosh—
Ying Bing said nothing, just quietly watched from the side.
Watching the young man prepare ingredients.
Then watching him heat the wok and pour oil.
The stove fire blazed, its reddish glow illuminating the young man's face. Ying Bing suddenly felt that calling him 'boy' now seemed inadequate.
The childish face in her memory was covered by the firelight.
The childishness seemed to have vanished, replaced by increasingly defined facial features.
"Ice Cube, why do you keep staring at me?"
Li Mo was so fixated on that he couldn't concentrate on cooking.
"Besides you, I don't know what else my eyes should look at."
"..."
Li Mo's hand holding the wok trembled, and the hot oil almost spilled.
Why was the stove fire so hot today... He thought for a moment and said:
"Ice Cube, why don't you help me julienne some potatoes? Oh, and also the spices and such. Today we're having stir-fried shredded potatoes and spicy ginger snake."
"Okay."
The Ice Cube nodded.
She didn't use a kitchen knife; a flash of sword light passed, and the ingredients were cut into beautifully uniform sizes.
"These potato shreds are so fine."
Li Mo started stir-frying the potato shreds, talking as he did:
"The heat control in cooking is very important, like for vinegar-shredded potatoes."
Watching Li Mo, wearing an apron, broad-shouldered, and showing off his skills in the kitchen, Ying Bing lowered her eyes and said softly:
"It's almost done."
"?"
Li Mo scratched his head, a little shocked.
It really was.
Had the Ice Cube's cooking skills suddenly awakened?
