Since Li Mo went into seclusion, Zhi Mountain Temple has not had a moment of peace. From time to time, piercing sword sounds would echo, and thick fog would churn inside the temple.
Not to mention those sword cultivators spying on Zhi Mountain Temple—even Daoist Bai Shuo could not quite figure it out.
The Taiyi True Immortal Sword Body Technique was clearly an auxiliary Taoist inheritance. Why then did Li Mo display an indescribable and terrifying sharpness?
Daoist Ye Zhuo, on the other hand, remained indifferent.
Once he fully understood Li Mo’s talent and comprehension, it seemed that all anomalies became justified. After all, people are not the same.
At first, Daoist Bai Shuo was worried that Li Mo would deviate, until he noticed that the latter would emerge every month or so to collect a batch of heads.
"Ten years honing the sword, and today it is finally complete."
Li Mo let out a sinister laugh.
The Fake Demon consumed vast resources every moment, accelerating sword nourishment with unprecedented speed.
The pool of wine began swirling into a vortex, and the water level of the Sword Washing Wine rapidly dropped.
The Fake Demon appeared immensely restrained, yet it faintly emanated a heart-palpitating aura, its eyes seemingly connected to the Nine Netherworld.
The Fake Demon’s jaws constantly opened and closed, undergoing its transformation into the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Mo summoned the Fake Demon to the outside world, and as his Divine Sense communicated with his flying sword, the Yin You Sword Intent finally shed its old form and radiated new life.
The sound of swords ringing became continuous and unceasing.
"Sigh, in a place like the Great Sun Sword Tomb, comprehending the Yang Attribute Sword Intent flows naturally, but trying to grasp a Yin Attribute Sword Intent is constrained at every turn..."
Li Mo shook his head helplessly. Otherwise, with his own comprehension and the support of the Bodhi Fruit, how could it have taken him nearly a decade to barely break through to the Middle Level?
On the surface of the Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Infant, a new sword scar finally appeared above the Yin You Sword Intent.
Mid-level Sword Intent: [Dark Moon].
Li Mo glanced over at the Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Infant and noticed that, at some point, it had gained two additional sword scars.
They were the Lower Sword Intent: [Soft Light] and the Lower Sword Intent: [Scorching]. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
Li Mo had devoted all his energy to comprehending the Yin Attribute Sword Intent, yet ironically reaped unexpected gains in the Yang Attribute Sword Intent, making him sigh at how important the environment truly was.
Soft Light and Scorching belonged to the Sun Sword Intent.
One technique understood, all techniques follow.
The Superior Sword Intent could be said to contain a wealth of branches and nuances from numerous Middle and Lower Sword Intents.
Having already mastered the Sun Sword Intent, many times an epiphany could allow Li Mo to grasp the core of a Lower Sword Intent in mere moments.
"No wonder for sword cultivators, the corrosive nature of Superior Sword Intent has always been climbing—it’s inevitable when comprehending multiple Lower Sword Intents as a byproduct."
Li Mo’s thoughts shifted slightly, as the light flickering at his fingertips alternated between softness and heat.
He, however, had no concerns about erosion. With the Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Infant anchoring his body and soul, it almost completely cut off any chance of losing control due to sword intent.
Li Mo flung the Fake Demon into the temple, and the Ground Lying Demon Infant eagerly reached out to grab it.
Once the refinement of Foundation Spiritual Objects began, he no longer paid attention to the Ground Lying Demon Infant.
Li Mo suddenly recalled something and located Xu Guang’s corpse, which was being suppressed within the Corpse Mountain Mini World.
Xu Guang had died a most miserable death, not even managing to use his Externalized Dharma Body. His Dharma Body hadn’t even had the chance to leave his body before being sucked into the Corpse Mountain Mini World.
Li Mo’s lips twitched.
He noted that when Xu Guang had first been drawn into the Corpse Mountain Mini World, he hadn’t completely died. He had tried to escape using his Externalized Dharma Body.
But because his flesh and bones were saturated with Sun Sword Qi, they acted as a cage, trapping his Externalized Dharma Body and gradually wearing down his consciousness until nothing remained.
"What was the point? From start to finish, you were just digging your own grave."
Li Mo’s words were imbued with mock pity, though his actions were exceptionally practiced. In a short time, he had completely dismembered Xu Guang’s corpse into fragments.
As the first Divine Separation Stage cultivator to die at his hands, the body held immense value.
The head was thrown into water to preserve it, the White Bone Treasure Body devoured the brain, and essential organs and limbs were stored in the Liu Li jar for future use.
The Lifebound Flying Sword [Fire Charcoal] was a Little Sun Trip sword, containing the Mid-level Sword Intent [Fire Burn], roughly equivalent to the Divine Separation Remnant Body Stage.
After Xu Guang’s death, Fire Charcoal nearly broke free of Corpse Mountain’s restraints. Fortunately, the Tattooed Beast intervened in time to suppress it.
The Lifebound Flying Sword was like a searing hot potato, so it was simply tossed into the Melting Furnace for incineration.
With Artifact Infant cultivation limited to the Nascent Soul stage, it was somewhat insufficient to subjugate Fire Charcoal. Only by relying on the Sunlight Dharma Body to wield the Sun Treasure Bottle did it gradually turn to ash.
Li Mo initially thought the Lifebound Flying Sword could, at most, provide a magic technique for refining swords.
Unexpectedly, surging information about Fire Burn Sword Intent flooded his mind, causing the sword scars on the Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Infant’s surface to start spreading again.
The incineration lasted a hundred days.
Li Mo successfully comprehended the Fire Burn Sword Intent, incidentally adding the Lower Sword Intent [Burning Smoke].
The intertwined patterns of the Yang Attribute Sword Intent accumulated continuously, while also aiding the Sun Sword Intent in striving for higher realms of attainment.
Once Fire Charcoal was dealt with, it was the turn of Xu Guang’s Externalized Dharma Body.
The Externalized Dharma Body was entirely composed of coal. Even long after death, it maintained a temperature of over a hundred degrees, releasing thick plumes of smoke and ash.
When the Melting Furnace began incinerating it, the Externalized Dharma Body released a vast amount of Yang Qi.
The Spiritual Energy poured into the Corpse Mountain Mini World, causing peaks to rise and the concentration of Yang Qi to increase two to threefold in the blink of an eye.
At this rate, the scale of the Yang Attribute Spirit Stone Veins would likely double.
"They say killing and arson lead to riches. The spirit patterns in Corpse Mountain have already reached forty-two, while the White Bone Treasure Body has grown to eighty-seven after digesting the brain."
The Spirit Root Worm actively crawled into the Corpse Mountain Mini World, transplanting Illusion Spirit Roots into the corpses.
Li Mo deeply appreciated the benefits of being backed by the Heavenly Sword Sect—any resource remotely connected to the Divine Separation Stage was enough to yield tremendous gains for him.
Having just consumed one-fifth of the Externalized Dharma Body, the Ground Lying Demon Infant had already refined the Fake Demon.
The Ground Lying Demon Infant discarded its original head and affixed the Fake Demon to its neck. Its look of utter satisfaction was both absurd and amusing.
