Chapter 105
“Master, I’ve just entered the martial path, and I’m not as good as those prodigies from Central Shenzhou.”
“Once you reach the realm of Observing the Divine and attain the highest level of the Qianxing Jue, you might just catch up to them.”
“Hmm!”
Xiao Qin shook off the frost from his brows, his gaze resolute once more.
He understood that the Qianxing Jue his master spoke of was a divine skill.
Every divine skill possesses the power to seize the very essence of heaven and earth.
Buzz—
At that moment, a familiar aura enveloped them.
It bound the surging cold tide within the hotpot restaurant.
It was Shang Wu.
With her intervention, Zuo Qiu Yang and Xiao Qin finally felt a bit more at ease.
The commotion from their breakthrough, therefore, remained concealed.
“The ingredients in the kitchen are safe,” Zuo Qiu Yang sighed in relief.
Xiao Qin looked eastward, fell silent for a moment, and said, “Tomorrow, we probably won’t need to open the door.”
Li Mo nodded in agreement.
Zuo Qiu Yang was taken aback.
Following the direction of Li Mo’s finger, he saw a burst of fireworks in the city, forming the iconic swallows of the Xiyu Building.
The trial of the Infinite Realm had come to an end.
Tomorrow, they would head to Lingjiang Dock as agreed.
Kill with a smile, Amitabha.
With Ying Bing breaking through, their plan to eliminate swiftly had undoubtedly gained an extra layer of assurance.
The three discussed the specifics of their plan before returning to gather their strength and make final preparations.
“Looks like I won’t be able to return to my room to sleep tonight,” Li Mo shook his head and sat down on the ground.
His consciousness sank.
At this moment, his dantian was filled with a red inner breath, the aura of destruction reaching a critical point.
He attempted to condense his inner breath into liquid, just like Ying Bing.
A quarter of an hour later.
Boom—
Li Mo’s face flushed, and he gasped in surprise.
It exploded.
Just now, the condensed inner breath had erupted during the compression process, spreading out once more.
His inner breath, imbued with pure destruction, could not take form.
Little Li fell into deep thought.
Ying Bing’s constitution was vastly different from his own; the method of refining inner breath might not suit him.
There was no doubt that the martial arts above that divine skill were extraordinary.
However, since acquiring it, he had known very little about it, merely engaging in the most superficial application.
This shouldn’t be the case.
【Twenty years of martial comprehension successfully infused.】
After accumulating for a long time, Little Li was now quite affluent.
He could infuse it vigorously.
【You recalled the scene where the lotus petal led you into the realm, pondering the origin of this martial art. You finally realized that without dual cultivation with Ying Bing, you wouldn’t even be able to perfect the condensation of inner breath.】
【Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.】
【Yet that spark of insight was not substantial; it only vaguely revealed the name of the martial art to you.】
【“Ye Huo Hong Lian Miao Fa” (The Marvelous Method of the Fiery Red Lotus)】
.....
“.....Huh?”
“Twenty years for just this?”
Li Mo was somewhat dumbfounded. His comprehension of the mind method was not lacking; at least, it was much better than his swordsmanship.
Yet, twenty years spent on this martial art had only yielded its name.
This could only mean that “Ye Huo Hong Lian Miao Fa” was far too vast and profound.
There was no way to give up halfway.
The insights of martial arts flowed in like water.
【In the thirty-sixth year, you finally understood that within that spark of insight lay the principle of rise and fall; if it did not contain vitality, how could the Fiery Red Lotus be born?】
【In the eightieth year, you exhausted your efforts, attempting to use ultimate destruction to nurture that thread of vitality.】
This chapter isn’t over; please click the next page to continue reading!
【In the two-hundredth year, you finally succeeded; the lotus seed showed signs of sprouting.】
【In the sixty-fifth year, you entered the basics of “Ye Huo Hong Lian Miao Fa.”】
Entering the basics.
Li Mo’s martial comprehension was reduced to a mere fraction, barely a century, and he finally achieved the basics of this martial art.
This could no longer be called ‘martial arts.’
It was entirely a celestial method.
Using ultimate destruction to give birth to vitality, nurturing the Fiery Red Lotus.
“I wonder what the scene will be like when I reach the transformation stage, or even perfection.”
Little Li felt a flicker of anticipation.
But reason told him that he couldn’t continue to push it further; any remaining martial comprehension poured in would yield no more than a ripple.
Silently closing his eyes, he began to refine the lotus seeds within the thirty-six main meridians.
The wondrous scene of unity between heaven and man reappeared around him.
In the room, Xiao Qin couldn’t help but open his eyes and look outside.
The Qianxing Martial Sovereign sighed and said something to him. Xiao Qin took a deep breath, becoming even more serious in his practice.
Upstairs.
The aura of the breakthrough gradually dissipated.
Ying Bing seemed to have changed, yet remained the same, still possessing that icy beauty.
She walked to the window, and the figure of the youth practicing appeared in her sight.
The words that floated in her mind were the same as those spoken by the Qianxing Martial Sovereign.
One day, when Li Mo enters the inner scene, he will be very strong.
Those who achieve unity between heaven and man are all outstanding in the inner scene.
Of course, this also depended on his accumulation in the realm of Observing the Divine.
As for herself, she was following a path of observing the forms of birds as a supplement, with the observation of the moon as the main focus.
This was a path that even the elders of Qingyuan Sect, including Shangguan Wencang, had not anticipated.
Using the essence of the Nine-Colored Primordial Phoenix to gather the divine essence of the Moon Phoenix.
Of course, this was not a path that could be completed before the next ranking.
If she wanted to reclaim the top spot on the leaderboard, she had to first lead in terms of realm.
With the phase rewards of the Imperial Flow Paste, this should be achievable.
Three bottles... should be more than enough, right?
“Are there any dishes that can be made with Imperial Flow Paste...”
**Chapter 103: No Need to Reason with Evil Cultists**
Lingjiang Dock.
As dusk approached, the sun was just about to set, and the bright moon was beginning to rise.
The temple fair at the dock was coming to an end.
The temple priest casually gestured, and the smiling Buddha in the temple had its head mysteriously detach and land on his own head.
He turned around to look at the three figures behind him.
“Are you here to offer incense and pray, or to make a wish?”
Upon hearing this, the person wearing the dragon-headed mask among the three stepped forward and spoke:
“Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.”
“Good.”
Xiao Mi Tuo nodded slightly, the smile on the Buddha’s head growing wider, seemingly pleased with this answer.
“You three brothers have surprised me.”
“From today onward, you will be part of the Xiyu Building and can go to the dark building to collect your rewards.”
“If you complete that task well, you can be promoted to the rank of human butcher as an exception.”
He spread his palm, revealing three bronze swallows, the emblem of the Xiyu Building.
In a daze, it seemed as if these swallows possessed their own life, fluttering their wings like living creatures.
“Don’t rush; once the task is completed, these swallows will be given to you.”
“May I ask what the task is?”
The three from Huai Mountain exchanged glances, and the dragon-headed figure asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Mi Tuo replied calmly:
“Accompany me to deliver a batch of goods, just go downstream.”
“Remember, this matter is confidential; do not disclose it to anyone, lest the people from Qingyuan Sect find out and interfere.”
“Once the news leaks, no one can save you three brothers.”
Transporting goods?
And it absolutely must not be known to the people of Qingyuan Sect?
Otherwise, it would be a disaster?
The three of Long Hu Bao exchanged glances, falling into silence.
Xiao Mi Tuo thought they were hesitant due to the risks involved, unwilling to offend Qingyuan Sect.
He chuckled and continued:
“I’ve been a temple priest at this dock for over ten years. I see fishermen fishing every day and have learned a principle.”
“The greater the storm, the more valuable the fish!”
“If you three brothers don’t want to take risks, how can you expect to rise to great heights?”
After a long silence.
Li Mo felt surprised but didn’t show any change in expression, continuing to ask:
“If you want us to take risks, you must at least tell us what the goods are.”
“Simply put, it’s about delivering some children to the stronghold of the Huanmo Sect.”
Xiao Mi Tuo patiently answered, then asked:
“You three are smart; what do you think?”
With his words, a wave of Buddhist chants echoed in the small temple, making one feel relaxed.
The meaning was clear.
Everything has been laid out for you; this pirate ship isn’t one you can just jump off.
The dragon-headed figure clasped his hands:
“I am willing to offer my humble services.”
Just as Xiao Mi Tuo relaxed his mind, he hadn’t even had the chance to nod in agreement before a short dagger hidden in the shadows shot toward his back with deadly precision.
The strike was silent until it neared its target, revealing an astonishing killing intent.
Xiao Mi Tuo, being in the realm of Observing the Divine, reacted swiftly.
