Chapter 380

It could indeed be something for Princess Xiao Jiang to learn from.

【Congratulations, host. You have successfully invested in Wu Chu's book, preventing its complete loss of value.】

【Investment feedback: Ancient Bronze Heavenly Book Seal.】

“Hmm?”

Li Mo suddenly remembered that he had the Heavenly Book Seal.

He decided to take it out directly and pressed it onto the "Slaughtering Jiao Sword Technique."

The tadpole patterns surged into the martial arts manual, transforming the original superior technique into an absolute one, with its name changing along with its content:

"Dragon-Slaying Sword Art."

Not only was it an absolute technique, but it was also a top-tier one among the absolute techniques.

“Princess Xiao Jiang is already quite close to defeating that red dragon.”

“With this sword art, she will surely be able to slay the red dragon, and even...”

Li Mo recalled a certain prince of Da Yu, surrounded by golden dragons in his divine aura.

If given the chance, he naturally wanted to pin Jiang Yu down and give him a good beating.

But more than that, he wanted to see Chi Long reclaim what she had lost, personally.

That day wouldn’t be too far off.

The purple Heavenly Mandate had been observed for quite a while, and there were still a few upper forms left.

After upgrading with the secret silver transformation seal...

“Demon, I need you to assist me in my cultivation!”

Li Mo wore a serious expression as he opened the most enticing reward, the ice lump.

【Congratulations, host. You have successfully invested in 'Ying Bing,' helping her acquire half of the Heavenly Phoenix Domain.】

【Investment feedback: Divine Treasure of Hundred Refinements.】

【"Divine Treasure of Hundred Refinements": A forging method at the divine level, capable of forging divine weapons, with its greatest effect being the tempering of the body during the forging process.】

“Focus, and a hundred refinements will lead to divinity!”

“Forging technique?”

Li Mo thought about it; his conditions indeed seemed quite suitable for becoming a craftsman, though he had never considered developing in that direction before.

But what truly caught his eye about the "Divine Treasure of Hundred Refinements" was that additional effect.

Tempering the body.

The progress of "Extreme Weapon Slaughtering Body" had slowed to the point where it was nearly invisible to the naked eye, and the transformation seemed far off.

As everyone knows, the body is the foundation of revolution.

Whether it’s the will to fight like Qi Tian or the divine powers of the Great Sage, the physical body is of utmost importance.

Perhaps with this method... he could reach new heights!

Buzz—

In the small world, the hammer treasure emitted a hum.

He sensed a feeling of grievance from the hammer, which was quite distressing.

“Hammer Treasure, don’t you want to forge?”

Buzz buzz...

Not a chance.

“Well, if you help me forge for a few days, I’ll find you a companion, okay?”

Little Li coaxed, painting a picture for the hammer treasure.

It wasn’t entirely a fantasy; he remembered that the other sword from the ice lump seemed to exude the aura of a divine weapon...

Hammer Treasure: “(~.~)”

Respectful and adorable?

“When have I ever lied to you? Isn’t your master an honest gentleman?”

“I’ll definitely find you a good friend, one that’s quite beautiful.”

Li Mo wasn’t sure if weapons had any sense of aesthetics.

But he felt that sword must be a beauty among swords.

In the end, the hammer treasure reluctantly let go of its resistance.

Li Mo sighed in relief, though he felt a twinge of guilt.

Though the ice lump could be a bit mischievous at times, most of the time, it was a serene and tranquil cold fairy. Now, after coveting her little feet and hands, he was even eyeing her accompanying sword.

What a disgrace for a gentleman!

If he dared to covet her sword today, what would he dare to covet tomorrow?

He didn’t even want to think about it!

Because it had something to do with Se Se...

Little Li, the gentleman, didn’t want to associate the thoughts, but images of the ice lump curled up with her delicate hands, her eyelashes fluttering, her beautiful eyes shyly closing as she softly said no, kept surfacing in his mind...

“Cough cough...”

Li Mo, oh Li Mo, how could you fall so low!

It must be the lingering influence of the Ming Jiao bloodline that hadn’t completely faded!

He quietly entered the small world.

Little Li was now filled with fervor.

Eager to find some sparring partners to vent his energy.

...

As dusk approached, Ying Bing pulled her thoughts away from the Heavenly Phoenix Domain. She hadn’t yet fully condensed the Hundred Birds Phoenix form, and spending more time in the Heavenly Phoenix Domain wouldn’t be of much benefit, especially since it was incomplete.

She walked downstairs and saw Qin Yuzhi writing something at the tea table.

“You’re here?”

“Writing a resume, what’s up?”

Qin Yuzhi looked up, her gaze momentarily blank.

The more she looked, the more stunning Ying Bing appeared.

Moreover, Ying Bing was standing, looking down from above, her cold and clear beauty exuding an overwhelming presence.

No one would have expected that the Observation Realm could exert such pressure on the Profound Realm...

No wonder she was valued by that one...

“I have a question I’d like to ask.”

“Ask away, but I’m not sure I can help...”

“How can one avoid the influence of other consciousnesses and remain clear-headed?”

Chapter 419: He Hasn't Dated

In the small world.

“So, is Brother Li okay?”

Jiang Chuchong sat on the ground, hugging her knees, nervously asking.

The Happy Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant was highly praised by martial artists from all directions and had now become a well-known establishment in Ziyang Prefecture, with news spreading rapidly.

Today at the hot pot restaurant, a few swordsmen were drunk beyond measure, and somehow they had gotten a fire pit, burning paper at the entrance.

They were drinking and crying at the same time.

And they were crying over a hair.

“Wuwu, your story hasn’t been finished yet!!!”

“Wuwuwu, I raise a toast to you; no one can show off like I can, being invincible is so lonely~~~ Wuwuwu!”

“Thud thud thud.”

“I first remembered you because I stepped on your watermelon peel, watching your back fade away. Who would have thought our last meeting would also be your back!”

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from nowhere.

“Damn, where did that demonic wind come from?”

“Quick, catch him back!!”

“Be careful not to fall into the fire pit; there won’t be a single hair left!”

So, a few drunken swordsmen chased after a hair, stumbling and falling hard several times.

Such a bizarre scene even made Princess Xiao Jiang unable to resist stepping forward to inquire.

“Life is full of disappointments; you shouldn’t be like this.”

Hmm.

Princess Xiao Jiang felt the few of them looked familiar, so she couldn’t help but comfort them.

But once she learned who they were mourning for, the atmosphere shifted entirely.

“Little girl, don’t do that; put down the sword.”

“Do you know where the people from the Demon Calling Sect are? Are you seeking revenge?”

The scene became quite chaotic.

Fortunately, in her moment of confusion, Jiang Chuchong remembered that her teacher was powerful and might have a solution.

So she stepped forward and asked:

“Teacher, can someone who’s left with just a hair come back to life?”

The Celestial Lord remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.

If he said no, it would undermine his image as a Celestial Lord.

If he said yes...

There was only a hair left!

After understanding the situation, Li Mo found himself at a loss, unsure whether to laugh or cry, and could only comfort Princess Xiao Jiang properly.

“Don’t worry, I can tell at a glance that your Brother Li is blessed and has a great destiny, definitely not a mere fish in a pond. Anyone who tells you he’s dead, don’t believe them.”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true. Now practice; today I’ll teach you a new sword technique.”

The technique the Celestial Lord was teaching today was, of course, the Dragon-Slaying Sword Art.

Once again, hundreds of years of martial insights vanished, but Li Mo didn’t feel heartbroken.

Firstly, he had accumulated over two thousand years of martial insights; this was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, once Princess Xiao Jiang mastered the "Dragon-Slaying Sword Art," wouldn’t the investment feedback be even better than his martial insights?

An hour and a half later.

Jiang Chuchong had grasped the basics of this absolute sword art and challenged the red dragon once more.

But after all, it was a newly learned sword technique, and using it against a legendary innate being still left much to be desired.

He coaxed Princess Xiao Jiang out of the small world to rest.

Only then did Li Mo begin his own cultivation.

“There are quite a few upper forms in the investment feedback.”

“Though the refinement for Qi Tian’s fighting spirit isn’t even one-tenth of the Extreme Form, the sheer quantity makes up for it.”

In this martial world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the depths were far beyond what he had imagined.

Originally, he had made a name for himself in the Southern Wilderness, ranking in the top five on the Hidden Dragon List, but before he could revel in his success, he realized that what he had seen was merely the tip of the iceberg.

The Emperor of Da Yu watched as the Southern Wilderness fell.

The Nine Heavens Immortals were awakening.

These were not mere illusions; they were closely related to the people around him and to him.

Time passed.

The next morning, when Li Mo woke up, he happened to see the first ray of morning light outside the window.

Li Mo felt a bit of pressure in his forehead, as if he had been beaten up in a dream.

Well, not just once.

He had defeated five upper forms, which was his achievement from last night.
