“The moon tonight seems much brighter than usual?”
Inside the room, Li Mo had just made his bed.
After a moment of thought, he roughly guessed that the Ice Cube not letting him stay next door was related to her Physique.
He wondered if it was a regular monthly occurrence, like those few days, or if it only happened occasionally?
“The Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body has various extraordinary phenomena.”
“My Immortal Body is too low-key; now, even Breakthrough is a problem.”
Li Mo merely grumbled a few sentences. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The System had never given him anything useless, especially what came from the Ice Cube.
It's just that this Physique thing...
Those were things that martial artists with Physiques, generation after generation, had discovered through experience.
Like Lin Jiang, he clearly knew that he should practice spear techniques to maximize the strengths of his Physique.
Li Mo had no one to learn from.
He could only rely on himself, exploring step by step...
Thinking this.
Li Mo opened the two newly acquired peerless sword techniques and began to study them carefully.
Gradually, night deepened.
Suddenly, the World Seed transmitted a fluctuation.
“Chu Long is so early today?”
.........
Inside the World Seed.
Jiang Chulong held a branch, her small head bowed, having just demonstrated her achievements, her gaze secretly peeking at the opposite side.
Biting her lip, she carefully asked:
“Teacher... I... I didn’t disappoint you... did I?”
She didn't know.
‘Lord Heavenly Venerate’ was on the verge of gasping in cold air and exclaiming, ‘This girl is terrifyingly formidable.’
He had only casually mentioned that a blade of grass could cut down the sun, moon, and stars to give Xiao Jiang Princess a little encouragement.
But Xiao Jiang Princess was truly practicing along that path!
When she unleashed her sword just now.
It actually carried a hint of the boundless meaning of ‘wildfire cannot be burned out, it grows again with ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the spring breeze.’
It was Sword Intent.
Without having formally learned any sword technique, she had comprehended her own Intent! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
“Hmm, not bad. This period must have been very hard for you.”
“Not hard... not hard at all.”
Jiang Chulong's face flushed from the praise, and she waved her small hands repeatedly:
“I just... I just...”
“When I woke up early... when I ate... when I went outside the door... when I picked things up... I practiced... practiced a bit, and then at night... at night before sleeping... I practiced with you for a while...”
Xiao Jiang Princess's day was very simple.
Eating, sleeping, picking up trash, and then practicing sword while doing these three things.
Li Mo: “....”
You only practice twelve hours a day, right?
Also, wasn't Murong supposed to take good care of her? Why does she still have to go out and pick up scraps?
“Have you encountered any difficulties in your life?”
“I used to often go hungry, but after Li Dage came, I haven’t anymore...”
Jiang Chulong suddenly stopped stuttering and said softly.
Mentioning ‘Li Dage,’ her voice grew softer and softer...
“Then why do you still go out to pick things up every day?”
Hearing Lord Heavenly Venerate ask this.
Jiang Chulong tilted her head.
Oh, why?
She didn't understand either.
She only knew that every time she picked up things from outside that others didn't want, such as broken kites or chipped bottles, she felt very satisfied, accomplished, and happy when those scraps were tidied up and neatly arranged...
“A hobby... a hobby?”
Jiang Chulong blinked, testing the waters.
Li Mo: “.....”
What a niche interest.
Alright, as long as you're happy.
“By the way... Teacher... Li Dage... how is he doing recently?”
A weak inquiry came through.
Jiang Chulong's grayish eyes were even brighter than before.
She thought, Teacher is so powerful, knowing even the grand and turbulent events of ancient times in such detail.
Then he must also know how Li Dage has been doing recently, right?
This little girl cares about me quite a bit.
Last time I said I'd go back to see her, but I haven't sent a message back either.
Li Mo couldn't help but smile inwardly.
He cleared his throat:
“Li Mo, right? He’s doing very well.”
“He just won a top-three spot in the Qingyuan Sect's Nine Peaks Martial Meet, his reputation soaring, admired by the heroes of Ziyang Prefecture.”
“As a pure bystander, honestly, his sword technique is quite good.”
Jiang Chulong's eyes lit up as she listened, seemingly drifting far away, seeing Li Dage's spirited appearance on the arena.
She smiled foolishly:
“Li Dage is so amazing.”
“Hmm, he should be returning to Fu City to see you after a while.”
“Really?”
“Alright, back to the main topic. Take these two sword manuals to study. Next time, I will test you. Practice them secretly; do not show them to others.”
Lord Heavenly Venerate waved his sleeve, and two sword classics appeared on the table.
Jiang Chulong carefully put them away, cherishing them.
Then, covering her stomach, she said with some confusion:
“Teacher, my... my stomach... recently seems to have a little... mouse.”
Little mouse?
Li Mo, from behind his mask, raised an eyebrow, reaching out to place his hand on her wrist.
After sensing it for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a bit strange:
“That's not your stomach, that’s your Dantian.”
“You're about to open your Meridians.”
“Open Meridians?”
Jiang Chulong knew very little about martial arts and didn't quite understand the concept of opening Meridians.
Li Mo hadn't had time to tell her either.
He had planned to wait until Jiang Chulong's body had mostly recovered before guiding her to condense Qi and blood.
He didn't expect her to stumble upon the right path on her own, unknowingly.
“In that case, I will give you some Medicinal Pills to protect your Meridians.”
......
The night grew thicker.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting silver light over the entire Autumn Water Pavilion, making the ground reflect a snowy white glow.
The sound of the small stream in the courtyard had ceased.
“Hoo...”
Li Mo exhaled a puff of white air, looking outside.
The entire small stream, at some unknown point, had frozen solid, glowing with an eerie blue luster in the night.
The small Autumn Water Pavilion was now so cold that water turned to ice, even colder than the depths of winter.
“Ice Cube...”
“She should be fine, right?”
Thinking this.
The System's notification sound suddenly rang in his ear:
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in Jiang Chulong and helping her successfully open her Meridians.】
【Investment Feedback: One Mithril Heavenly Book Seal.】
【Mithril Heavenly Book Seal: Can deduce and perfect any Cultivation Technique below a Supreme martial art, and elevate its grade by one level!】
“It's finally here!”
Li Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was just missing one Mithril Heavenly Book Seal to upgrade a Supreme martial art to a Supreme martial art, and then he could use that Gilded Heavenly Book Seal.
This meant he would obtain a martial art above a Supreme martial art!
And he would have a chance to Breakthrough to the Inner Breath Realm!
If Xiao Jiang Princess were in front of him, he would definitely hug her and give her a big kiss!
No hesitation needed.
A small seal, like flowing mercury, appeared in his palm, and the tadpole-like script on it seemed to come alive.
He took out the “Fire Lotus Extreme Yang Force” and placed the seal on it.
The characters suddenly flowed, as if countless fish were darting wildly within them.
“True Phoenix Blood Lotus Sun-Swapping Supreme martial art”
Supreme martial art!
Something countless people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths dreamed of, lay quietly on the table like this.
A single Supreme martial art was enough to cause the downfall of countless powerful individuals, determine the rise and fall of unimaginable forces, stir up storms, and unleash bloodshed.
Li Mo had read the “Moon Splendor Sword Classic” and the “Sun Wheel Sword Classic” and knew that while these two sword techniques were exquisite, they were ultimately only Low Grade peerless techniques.
No matter how they were combined in attack, they could not compare to a true Supreme martial art.
Most likely, it was due to the passage of time and the increasingly exaggerated rumors.
“Supreme martial art is still beyond imagination; it is the pinnacle of the Martial Dao.”
“Then what lies beyond this?”
Li Mo couldn't help but feel his heart surge.
The Gilded Heavenly Book Seal, in his palm, slowly descended onto the paper.
The golden profound script, in that instant, erupted, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, converging within it.
The fine celadon paper gradually disintegrated, as if the content written upon it exceeded its capacity to bear.
“Oh no, I haven’t seen it clearly yet...”
Amidst his shock, Li Mo fixed his gaze.
He saw that each character was obscure and profound, seemingly still transforming and appearing, simply impossible for anyone to glimpse.
These were not any kind of characters Li Mo had ever seen.
In fact, it was hard to even call them characters.
Buzz—
The paper finally completely vanished.
But it transformed into a lotus petal with a profound aura, and before Li Mo could react, it flew into his glabella.
Boom—
Magnificent scenes flashed through his mind.
It was as if heaven and earth were first created, all things in Chaos, and in an instant, countless things dissipated and were Reborn, far more exaggerated than the movements within the Small World.
