Chapter 334
Li Mo closed his eyes, refusing to look at the dazzling forms of the two golden crows. The soft light of the Taiyin enveloped him, slowing down his opponent's movements.
With a fierce throw, he launched the Chixiao Sword from his right hand, its entangled flames spiraling as it struck the golden wheel on the left.
His left hand wielded the Forty, twisting the surrounding sunlight.
This seemingly light hammer carried the power to shatter the heavens, causing the air around his opponent to condense. It appeared to strike at nothingness, but that was far from the truth.
Clang—
The other golden wheel, hidden in the shadows, was sent flying by the impact!
The golden crow remained expressionless, lifting the flying wheel to absorb the surrounding light, transforming it into a blazing beam directed at Li Mo.
Yet, when struck by the sunlight, Li Mo's body did not blacken; instead, it radiated a brilliant golden glow.
Indestructible!
The Forty rose again, this time making the stars in the sky tremble.
The sunlight was still blinding, but a figure shrouded in the shadow of the Great Sage emerged, wielding a hammer that seemed to pierce the heavens, ascending against the light.
Boom—
The shadow of the sun trembled, visibly cracking, no longer able to shield the golden crow, and instead igniting in flames.
The golden crow had actively ignited its divine intent, causing it to explode before shattering.
The hammer was indeed unusable for a short time, but the appearance of the Chixiao was perfectly timed, and the technique he used was none other than the long-forgotten "Fire Crane Thousand Feathers."
The wildfires spread, slipping through the gaps of the true essence explosion.
Puff—
The golden crow's shadow was pierced through by a sword, and another avatar instantly froze, dissipating into light dust.
"Now that's real fire."
Li Mo released the Forty and the Chixiao Sword. His body was indeed impervious to water and fire, but it was hot!
A wave of weakness washed over him, and even his breath felt like it carried sparks.
No wonder it was the ancient innate golden crow.
In its era, it had been one of the most dazzling heroes in the world.
Understanding the opponent's moves and rhythm of attack, he still found it exhausting without using divine weapons.
"Big Brother Li... did you win in just one go?"
Jiang Chulong stared blankly at the figure ahead, her bright eyes sparkling even through the fabric.
That figure was tall, blocking out the sun.
"....."
In truth, he had fought more times than Princess Jiang.
Li Mo shook his head and sighed:
"This world truly has countless heroes."
"Yeah, but Big Brother Li is the strongest."
"Did you see the golden crow's moves clearly just now?"
"I did."
Jiang Chulong nodded.
After using her head-patting technique, the little princess was once again full of energy, ready to practice her swordplay.
"After the battle, the Great Sage's shadow has become more solid."
Li Mo turned to look at the Great Sage's divine intent behind him, his eyes flickering.
Sitting on the ground, he took a moment to adjust his breathing and pulled out the "Great Sage's Chaos in the Sky" divine image.
This scene, filled with myriad phenomena, seemed to become slightly clearer in his eyes.
"I was right; this divine form of the Great Dao can only be perfected through continuous battles."
"After defeating the golden crow's projection, my spirit and fighting intent have grown stronger."
As enlightenment dawned, among the many divine abilities, one began to glow faintly, like a pearl in the vast sea.
The Great Sage's divine intent nodded slightly, as if acknowledging him.
It plucked a golden hair from behind its ear and gently blew on it.
The hair, shimmering with ethereal light, flew into Li Mo's ear.
Divine Ability: External Avatar.
Immersed in the ocean of divine mysteries, a thought popped into Li Mo's mind.
"Brother Monkey has a whole body of monkey hair, but I can only pluck a hair."
"This shows that this divine ability has nothing to do with Buddhism..."
.....
In the following days, Li Mo continued to sneak into Ying Bing's room every night, and once again ran into his father.
"Little Master, there's more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!"
There was no choice; his Qi Tian battle intent had enhanced his spirit. If he continued to dual cultivate with Bing Tuo every night, soon he would be able to observe the six orifices of the divine.
But no one knows a child better than their parent.
These small clues had already raised the alert of his father, Li Dalong! After all, he was the county constable, responsible for law and order, having captured many suspects.
His eyes were like a measuring stick!
"Hey, Dad, you’re up too early. Doing your second set of morning exercises?"
Li Mo came out of Bing Tuo's room one morning and bumped into his father, who was practicing.
This time, his father didn’t tell him a joke but looked at him with scrutiny:
"What were you up to?"
"Just getting breakfast."
"Really?"
Li Dalong crossed his arms, a look of suspicion on his face.
Li Mo nodded and quickly pulled out a paper bag of buns from the system space. Only then did Li Dalong let him go.
But the doubts in Li Dalong's heart had not dissipated; instead, they grew stronger!
Returning to the room, Li Dalong said to his wife:
"Wife, our son is acting strange."
"What's strange?"
"He might be trying to sneakily make me a grandfather."
"???"
"I suspect he goes to Little Bing's room every night, but I have no evidence."
Gu Xueqin's eyes widened, and the couple exchanged complex glances.
It was a good thing.
But sneaking into someone else's room before getting married? That didn’t seem right. If that were the case, they would need to make some plans.
Of course, they first needed to confirm whether this was actually happening...
Li Mo thought he was being discreet, completely unaware that he had already been marked as a key surveillance target by his parents!

Chapter 365: The Moon in the Well Slips into the Palm of the Ying Family's Old Residence
What does it feel like to be at home and feel like a thief?
At the lunch table, Li Mo lowered his head, pushing around his rice, feeling that his parents were acting strangely. He had only been home for a few days, and the speed at which their love had faded was too fast!
"Is it just my imagination?"
Li Mo subtly shifted his chair, inching closer to Bing Tuo.
Hmm?
Old Li and his beloved wife, Xueqin, exchanged glances, their eyelids twitching, immediately turning their gazes to scrutinize him.
"???"
Little Li was confused. He knew love could fade, but it shouldn’t feel like they were watching him like a thief!
Had something scandalous happened?
Just then, Ying Bing, accustomed to her routine, took a sip from her cup, bit her chopsticks, and offered him a helping of vegetables.
He almost choked on his words, refraining from calling her "stinky little sister" or "immature brat."
"Li Mo, eat."
Dad and Mom: "?"
"!!!"
Little Li leaned back in shock.
What was with their gazes? Was there a little flame burning in their eyes? Their stare was even more oppressive than the golden crow's projection.
This was what you call bloodline pressure.
So, Li Mo quickly finished his meal; he couldn’t stay here any longer.
"Where are you planning to go?"
"Just, going out for a stroll. Bing Tuo and I haven’t been home for a while; we want to look around."
"Then go ahead, but be back before dinner."
Watching Li Mo and Ying Bing leave together, the couple exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Little Bing was using someone else's cup to drink tea?
And using her own chopsticks to serve him food??
Something was definitely off!
Li Dalong's expression turned serious: "My instincts were right; these two kids are different from when they last came back."
"They grew up together; this doesn’t seem like much."
Gu Xueqin was still trying to process it.
"Have you forgotten? When they went to Qingyuan Sect together, they barely spoke a word to each other?"
"Hmph, this little brat is even hiding it from his own mother."
"Tonight, we’ll check his room. If he’s not there, we’ll have to go to the Ying family’s old residence and light some incense."
.....
On the other side.
Li Mo stepped out of the street leading from the Li residence, finally letting out a sigh of relief as he strolled alongside Ying Bing.
Winter had arrived, and the sun seemed to have lost its warmth, but the streets were bustling with activity, filled with people hauling goods for the New Year. Some were beating drums and setting off firecrackers to welcome home their loved ones.
The festive atmosphere was already palpable.
"Why does my birthday have to coincide with the New Year?"
Li Mo thought back to how he always celebrated his birthday during the New Year.
As a result, his family prioritized the New Year, making his birthday feel secondary.
Ying Bing gazed at the lively street, unconsciously pursing her lips and lowering her gaze.
She actually didn’t like the New Year.
"Then I’ll celebrate your birthday for you."
"!"
Little Li froze, staring at her in shock. Despite the surrounding noise, it felt eerily quiet.
