“Hey~ your chicken feet~ are showing~~”
“Those are roc claws! No... how did I reveal my true form?”
“Where did this cat girl come from?”
“This old lady just has Qiongqi Bloodline!”
“Who peed here?”
In front of Qingyuan Sect’s main hall, a commotion among the Southern Yao Race broke the silence, and everyone looked over. These Southern Jianghu martial artists, who claimed to be highly skilled in Image Mimicking Martial Arts, had all undergone various degrees of transformation.
Those in the Fourth Realm and below directly revealed their original forms.
Those in the Fifth Realm revealed half of their true forms, like Wu Qing.
No wonder Murong Feng was even more excited when he learned she was of the Yao Race... Only those in the Sixth Realm, equivalent to the Human Race’s Law Body Realm, like Shang Qinqing, whose various divine abilities were fully integrated into their being, did not change.
But most of the arriving Yao Race members clearly weren't in the Sixth Realm.
Thus, the vast Qingyuan Sect instantly became filled with Demonic Qi; those who didn't understand might have thought the Yao Race had invaded the mountain gate.
Many Jianghu members instinctively drew their weapons.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Shangguan Wencang: “Those who practice Image Mimicking Martial Arts probably felt something when they saw Li Mo Breakthrough, and are verifying what they’ve learned. It’s quite reasonable for them to turn into the Yao Race.”
“Li Shaoxia also knows this move; it’s harmless.”
Zhennan King spoke up to smooth things over.
The host of the court and Qingyuan Sect both said it was fine.
“Ahem, this old man is also verifying martial arts.” Elder Xu of Sword City gestured twice with his long sword, then put it back.
The misunderstanding was resolved.
The atmosphere on the scene became harmonious again, but everyone knew where the true root cause lay.
It was Li Mo’s Inner Scenery, that crimson giant.
Wherever the crimson light reached, all laws were rendered void, all divine abilities returned to the mundane, and only the Qi and blood power within the body remained.
Even the Fifth Realm Outer Scenery, which connects the inner and outer worlds, could not escape this, though it was slightly better by comparison.
Looking at the surging fiery flow, everyone’s flushed faces were wonderfully expressive.
What did this mean?
From now on, below the Sixth Realm, aside from relying on physical strength, any flashy tricks would be ineffective against Li Mo, who possessed such an Inner Scenery.
As for physical strength... everyone couldn't help but recall the scene of Li Mo tearing apart the Demon Summoning Ancestor God with his bare hands, that pillar of Qi and blood smoke rising like the blazing sun, making their scalps tingle.
“A former Sect Master of Gangdou Sect was also named Li; this old man thinks there’s some connection with Li Shaoxia.”
The Gangdou Sect Leader said with a serious face.
“When did we ever have a Sect Master named Li?”
“This old man says there was, so there was.”
“But I haven’t seen any memorial tablets in the ancestral hall...”
“Just find one and change it, then there will be.”
“...Makes sense.”
The Gangdou Sect members felt there was no problem with that.
“This old man believes the title ‘Liqun Sword Hero’s Sword Armor’ is well-deserved.”
Elder Xu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm.
If one disregarded the slight trembling in his legs, he would have appeared quite nonchalant.
“Old Xu, weren’t you questioning Li Shaoxia?”
Another Elder mimicked Elder Xu’s manner and tone: “Then I ask you, then I ask you, what kind of Sword Armor is Li Mo? He’s a hammer!”
Elder Xu gritted his teeth, furious: “Slander! This old man swears I never said those words! If I did, I’ll take your surname!”
Seeing Elder Xu so resolute, that Elder momentarily doubted if he had misheard.
Hmm?
That’s not right, Elder Xu was from the same family as him, and he was also surnamed Xu!
“This is probably like the rising sun, radiating boundless light.”
“Mm...”
Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi sighed simultaneously, unable to help but recall long-sealed memories from the distant past.
Every Shang Emperor was a Golden Crow Blazing Sun, seated atop the Bronze Divine Tree, illuminating the world and gazing upon all living beings.
Although they might not have been the same individual.
But every Shang Emperor, upon ascending to the top of the Divine Tree, was like the rising sun.
“There are still slight differences.”
As she thought, Qin Yuzhi shook her head again: “He’s not that noble and majestic, nor is he that dazzling.”
“Mm, and he’s not as handsome as Little Li is now!”
Shang Qinqing smiled, pulling out a handful of melon seeds.
Little Li wasn’t bad to begin with.
Moreover, in his current appearance, he possessed an added gentle, composed, and resolute demeanor. Anyone who saw him would have his image deeply imprinted in their hearts, unforgettable.
Even if he didn't look like this, his radiant spirit would automatically add special effects for him... “Indeed handsome.”
Listening to the dense sound of melon seeds being cracked, Qin Yuzhi nodded vigorously, taking a sharp intake of breath: “Do you think Little Bing’er, down in Qingyuan, will see it?”
“Hiss...”
Shang Qinqing suddenly became very excited, almost breathless.
Outsiders could see that Little Bing’er was already melting.
This time, wouldn’t she be boiling over?
...At the bottom of Qingyuan, in front of the imperial tomb’s main chamber.
“Fortunately, I told my Baby Disciple early on that even if he became more powerful than me, he still had to call me Master.”
Shang Wu let out a long sigh of relief, raised her wine gourd, and chugged it down:
“Little Bing’er, I’ve really gone all out this time. What good drinks should I ask him for... Little Bing’er?”
She had been talking to herself for a long time, and when she turned around, she found Ying Bing looking up, her face cold and aloof, gazing at the merging and intertwining Inner Scenery.
Hmm... if one ignored her slightly parted crimson lips, and her bright, misty eyes.
Han Xianzi was still cool and aloof.
“...”
Shang Wu scratched her head and went to check if the Cycle of Life and Death Formation was damaged.
“My Inner Scenery, formed by the power of all living beings and the dashang national luck, is called ‘All Mundane’!”
Li Mo and the crimson giant spoke simultaneously.
Afterward, the extraordinary scene projected from the Inner Scenery slowly dissipated.
When he came out, he saw Ice Cube still in her original spot, squatting there with her legs wrapped around her, her chin resting on her knees. Her jade-like face, unadorned with makeup, had a faint rosy hue. She looked over with pursed lips, her eyes lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
Perhaps she herself didn’t know.
“Ice Cube.”
“...Hm?” Ying Bing snapped back to reality.
Every time Li Mo saw her like this, he felt a strange sense of contrast and cuteness, and it was especially so this time. But he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth:
“Why are you squatting here?”
“I haven’t rested for several days; standing is very tiring.”
Han Xianzi, who had Broken Through to the Fourth Realm even before him, said coolly.
“Then why is your face red? You’re not sick, are you?” Li Mo scrutinized her, seriously reaching out to touch her forehead.
“I’m not...”
“Then why is it?”
“Your Inner Scenery was too red; it shone on me for a long time, and the red stayed on it.”
“?” ƒrēewebnovel.com
Li Mo was silent for a moment, a question mark appearing above his head.
What was Ice Cube saying? He knew all the words, but he couldn’t understand the meaning?
“I feel a bit strange now, my head is all muddled... I don’t even know what I’m saying myself.” Ying Bing buried half of her face in her folded arms, only revealing her gentle eyes.
“Ice Cube, since you’re sick, you probably can’t walk, right?”
“That’s not...”
“How about I carry you up?”
This was the thing Li Mo wanted to do most after his Breakthrough.
“Okay.”
Han Xianzi’s mouth was still a bit stubborn.
But because she had her own thoughts... it wasn’t completely stubborn... PS: There will be two updates today, and the second one will be a bit later.
