Boom—

Boom—

The stars, moving in mysterious and unpredictable trajectories, now contracted, emitting sounds that closely resembled powerful heartbeats.

Li Mo saw a bronze tree seed before his eyes, and the anomaly of the Zhou Tian Stars flickered with its frequency.

With each vibration, the vitality emanating from the tree seed grew stronger, and he could also feel, in the depths of the unknown, an invisible and formless power—the root of everything—like a thread, linking the shattered Small World and preventing its demise.

Whoosh—

That magnificent power, accumulated over thousands of years, formed a tide, and he sat quietly in the center of the tide. The wounds on his Physical Body, like shattered porcelain, gradually healed until they were as perfect as before.

The cycle of life and death, at this moment, was reversed by the dashang national luck and the bronze tree seed!

“Hoo...”

Li Mo, in the heart of the formation, opened his eyes and, in a trance, saw that figure. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Her skirt was still stained with specks of blood, her eyes reflected starlight, a kaleidoscope of colors swirling, and the Divine Intention on her brow blended coolness with sacredness. Her fingertips guided that immense power.

Although this dashang national luck was residual, it was once accumulated by a Dynasty—ancient, domineering, and vast.

With the power of the national Luck added to him, his Physical Body would likely be unable to bear it.

However, under her delicate touch, the Dynasty's Luck transformed into a soft, pliable force, thread by thread, merging with and mending his Inner Scenery.

“When Ying Huang returned from the Nine Heavens and recreated the world back then, she must have been this beautiful, right?”

Li Mo knew he shouldn't be distracted at this moment.

But his heart seemed to have its own ideas now.

Suddenly, his brow felt cool; it was Ying Bing's fingertip touching it.

Ying Bing said nothing, her expression holding the light of relief at finding him awake, yet also the helplessness of his current distraction.

“Breakthrough first. There’ll be time to look later.”

“Alright.”

“Good boy.”

Li Mo nodded. At this moment, he heard the roar from his Inner Scenery again, which meant his Inner Scenery was becoming even more complete.

For ordinary Inner Scenery, three extraordinary sights were already astonishingly brilliant. For example, a certain Grand Purple, God Sword, Golden Dragon, or Imperial Heaven—once they reached the Inner Scenery, their starting point would make other Fourth Realm cultivators look up in awe.

However, for him, three extraordinary sights were far from the limit.

Buzz—

The ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Zhou Tian Stars vibrated, causing ripples in the magnificent night sky, and various strange phenomena emerged within.

A Heavenly Palace reappeared, with majestic giant gates separating Immortals and Mortals. Four divine beings, like abysses and prisons, blotted out the sky, overlooking all living beings.

“Is this... the Upper Realm?”

“No, it’s the Inner Scenery wonder of the breakthrough! The Fourth Realm!”

“Could it be that the Upper Realm is not illusory, and Li Shaoxia glimpsed the gateway to the Upper Realm through a Legacy, using it as the scenery for his Inner Scenery?”

“No wonder he was so abnormal in the Guan Shen Realm; what he observed was not at all from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...”

The hall buzzed with sounds of shock. The Jianghu people had previously speculated about Li Mo’s Inner Scenery, but no one had guessed correctly.

They were already unable to describe what they saw with words.

Because even what they had just seen was not the full extent of this scene.

The true protagonist was not the Gate of the Upper Realm at all.

“Woo—”

Amidst the inky clouds, banners stood like a forest, and killing intent transformed into rain.

Above the heavens was a brutal battlefield. A gentle wind stirred the banners, and the words ‘Equal to Heaven’ flapped loudly.

“So, this scene is about someone from the Lower Realm fighting their way to the heavens?”

Elder Xu strained his eyes to see clearly, his eyes bloodshot.

“The intention you sensed, could it be...” Shang Qinqing looked at Qin Yuzhi.

“It’s them.” Qin Yuzhi lowered her head obediently, then murmured curiously, “But the Gate of Heaven doesn’t look like that...”

A clap of thunder echoed, the starry sky vibrated, and the battle in the inky clouds began.

The Elders of Qingyuan Sect exchanged bitter smiles. No wonder the Ascension Stone Steps had failed to display his talent that day; it was simply impossible.

They were all in the Fourth Realm, even the Fifth Realm, and Shangguan Wencang had even stepped halfway into the threshold of the Law Body.

But they simply could not comprehend what this Inner Scenery was, or how it came to be.

Everything before their eyes transcended their understanding and their grasp of the Martial Dao.

“With this Inner Scenery complete, won’t he treat other Fourth Realm cultivators like children?”

...Dijin.

From a towering pagoda in the southeast corner of the Imperial City, the sky above Qingyuan Sect could be clearly seen.

“What exactly is that...”

The old woman's hand uncontrollably reached for the jade plate, then recoiled as if shocked by electricity.

Years of divining fate had made her realize that she had just been on the brink of death; one more step, and it would not have ended with just a little blood.

“This young Li, he truly gave Us a surprise.”

Jingtai Emperor stared blankly, murmuring to himself.

In fact, there was no need to stand so high; the scene above Qingyuan could be seen from Dijin.

After all, even the great sun had dimmed.

“Could it be that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths truly have something beyond the heavens?”

“Are Immortals fighting?”

“Then, will our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths be destroyed like Human City?”

Countless common people were first filled with endless dread; they lacked the ability to discern the true nature of the Inner Scenery.

Yet, some sharp-eyed person suddenly reacted:

“Don’t you think that existence, the one crushing the heavens, looks a bit like Li Shaoxia’s Divine Intention?”

“Is he breaking through?”

“Can this be the commotion of entering the Fourth Realm?”

“Wait, he’s breaking through, so that means he was fine all along? I was so worried about his safety...”

At Wanchun Tower, amidst a chorus of exclamations.

Huang Donglai, Xiao Qin, and Murong Xiao all plopped down onto their stools at the same time, as if exhausted. freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Cough... Brother Li is fine... now.” Huang Donglai’s throat sounded as if it had been smoked; he had been storytelling all day recently.

“Good heavens, this is already the Fourth Realm.”

Murong Xiao clicked his tongue in wonder, twirling his wooden fish:

“I wonder if the Karma I accumulated for Brother Li has been used up.”

“Wait, it seems it’s not over yet.” In Xiao Qin’s mind, Martial Venerable Qianxing’s scalp-tingling voice rang out:

“Is that still the Thousand Forms Art?”

The Golden Crow transforming into the sun, the Xuan Whale leaping into the sea, the Ming Jiaolong bringing rain, Wuzhiqi roaring in the wilderness... All the Divine Intentions from the Thousand Forms Art now shone like starlight, intermingling.

“This, this is his complete Inner Scenery?”

Xiao Qin’s throat was dry as he asked:

“Teacher, can the Thousand Forms Art be cultivated to this extent?”

“Guess why I am currently within you?”

“That’s true...”

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to quiet down at this moment, as countless people had lost the ability to speak.

They finally understood how shocking it had been in Human City that day.

Seeing it from the jiangshan sheji map was different from seeing it with one’s own eyes.

An incomparably colossal crimson giant rose from the ground, standing amidst iron and fire, its head topped by the Zhou Tian Stars, proudly towering over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the posture of a God and Demon.

Its indistinct face opened its eyes.

The gaze was fervent but not blinding, resolute but gentle, like flowing fire, like the morning sun.

Looking into it, a ridiculous illusion would arise in one’s heart: though he clearly had the body of a God and Demon, he was merely an exceptionally strong ‘Mortal’...
