Setting Out for Qinghe County-Look at You, Getting Worked Up Again
Early morning.
Autumn Water Pavilion.
"He's still a hair's breadth away from the Profound Pill Realm."
Li Mo shook his head.
Most people at the Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm, even those with good talent, are likely to be stuck before the Profound Pill Realm for three to five years.
His current rate of progress is something that countless people can only dream of.
" Of the Seven Determinations of Heaven and Earth, I can now unleash the sixth."
"Swordsmanship... hmm, even cooler now!"
Little Li is now virtually invincible even among those in the Inner Breath Realm, relying solely on his sword skills.
After cooking.
He ate while looking at the rooms on the second floor.
"Two kinds of Internal Breath combined, tsk tsk."
Shang Wu squinted her almond-shaped eyes:
"Even without reaching the Profound Pill, her Internal Breath energy is strong enough to instantly kill most Profound Pill Realm, making even those in the Divine Observation Realm wary."
"..."
Li Mo remained silent for a while.
He wondered, could this Ice Block be considered a form of self-cultivation?
From now on, I won't need to practice the first level of <Phoenix Singing in the Heavenly Marsh> with him.
Hmm... the second floor is more like it.
However, that would happen after one enters the Divine Observation Realm.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Mo began checking the essentials for his trip.
While examining him, I casually asked:
"Master, you're not planning to go to Qinghe County with us this time?"
Last time I watched Shang Wu make a move, it wasn't very serious.
Little Li felt that with her around, she would definitely feel a great sense of security.
"Hmph, I'm not going."
Shang Wu gave a soft snort, clearly displeased:
"Those old men said I had done a lot of hard work and made great contributions, so they wouldn't let me come along this time."
Li Mo tentatively said:
"Is it possible that they're afraid you'll get into a fight with people from other sects?"
"Come, come, before we set off, let me test if you've regressed."
Shang Wu stood with her hands on her hips, preparing to give her precious apprentice a special treat.
Fortunately, Ying Bing came down at that moment.
Li Mo slipped into the carriage and escaped unharmed.
When Clear Abyss set off for Qinghe County, the entourage was naturally quite large.
Most of the elders and deacons from each peak have arrived.
The delegation was led by three elders, as the forces that came were a mixed bag, including not only forces from the Eastern Wasteland Domain but also forces from similar outer regions.
Therefore, the team was led by Yin Huaxuan, Elder Qian Bufan, and Xue Jing.
One of these two was incredibly powerful and extremely familiar with all kinds of strange beasts, while the other was skilled in social maneuvering... and had a huge appetite.
As for Xue Jing, it was to prevent any accidents from happening to his disciples.
The disciples were also all elites.
For example, the chief disciple of the previous generation, the True Disciple Ruyi Peak — Ouyang.
The leader of the disciples was Yin Huaxuan's son, Yin Huacheng.
For the remaining disciples, Clear Abyss Sect held a small disciple selection competition. This time, there was no age limit, and all disciples at or below the Divine Observation Realm could participate.
In the end, thirty people were selected.
Most of them are the True Disciple of the Divine Observation Realm.
There is only one inner disciple.
Xiao Qin.
During the selection competition, he unexpectedly emerged as a formidable opponent, unleashing tremendous power and defeating his rival.
Standing among the many True Disciples, Xiao Qin stood out somewhat.
Where are Li Mo and Ying Bing?
Qian Bufan stood at the very front of the line.
He glanced at the sun, somewhat puzzled.
"The sect's operation is still late."
Yin Huaxuan frowned, and as he spoke, he looked to the side.
"Father, rest assured, once we enter the secret realm, I will instruct them to follow orders."
Yin Huacheng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
He had just finished speaking.
A familiar chariot Sect Master appeared on the mountain road, traveling at a leisurely pace.
The carriage curtain was lifted.
"You two little rascals, why are you late?"
Qian Bufan coughed lightly and asked casually.
You can't expect Ice Block to interact with people.
Li Mo smiled:
"I apologize, Elder Qian, for the impromptu practice reaching a crucial point."
"I'll treat you to hot pot later."
"Um."
Qian Bufan nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
After scanning the two individuals' scents, the smile turned into surprise.
"You two have both improved so much? Great, great!"
He saw it clearly.
These two little guys are actually not far from the Profound Pill Realm.
Although Ying Bing was further from the Profound Pill Realm than Li Mo, they practiced two different Internal Breath, yet their progress was the same.
Qian Bufan withdrew his gaze and said seriously:
"The situation in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm this time is complex, with numerous forces at play."
"You must stay close to us the whole way."
"Yes, the safety of Xiao Mo and Little Bing is the most important thing; what we gain from the secret realm is secondary."
Xue Jing nodded in agreement.
"Once you enter the secret realm, I urge you, fellow disciples, to follow my instructions and refrain from causing trouble."
Yin Huacheng's calm voice came through.
Who is this guy? He talks so arrogantly.
Li Mo couldn't help but take a look and saw the handsome yet gloomy-faced True Disciple of the Rare Beast Peak.
"Elders, we plan to act alone."
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm is very important to Ice Block.
Ice Block definitely keeps to itself.
Li Mo plans to make some investments in the secret realm and will not follow the main group; the two will meet up later.
Therefore, the idea of obeying arrangements is naturally nonsense.
"Hmph, most of those who entered the secret realm this time are at the Divine Observation Realm."
"You two are only at the Internal Breath and have little experience in the martial world. Without my protection, you will be unable to move an inch."
Yin Huacheng's tone was clearly not friendly.
But they absolutely had to be kept within their sight.
What's wrong with this senior? Has he channeled some kind of domineering CEO? Why is he acting so crazy?
Li Mo was a little confused.
"You?"
Ying Bing tilted her head slightly.
Looking at Yin Huacheng, her clear eyes remained completely undisturbed.
Seeing an ugly dog on the street might trigger a bigger emotional response than this.
Ignore it.
This is the biggest irony in itself...
Yin Huacheng reacted strongly, his face turning pale and then flushed, looking extremely unpleasant.
He remembered the same young boy and girl on the cliff, with the same look in their eyes...
Li Mo: "... Ahem, Senior Brother, look at you, you're in such a hurry again."
That can't be true.
Speaking of Ice Block's taunting aura, it should only be effective against villains.
Could it be that...
Qian Bufan and Xue Jing exchanged a glance, both seeing the silence in each other's eyes.
When they say "be careful," they mean outside the secret realm.
Within the secret realm...
Divine Observation Realm?
Jianghu experience?
You probably don't know how the Avici Trial ended...
They were all afraid that the two little ones would pull this stunt again.
I strongly suspect that after Li Mo and Ying Bing break away from the main group, they will put on masks and transform into the Three Baleful Fiends of Locust Mountain...
Good heavens, Xiao Qin is here too. The Three Baleful Fiends of Locust Mountain are all here, damn it.
"Disorganized and undisciplined."
Yin Huaxuan turned his head, preparing to let the other two elders say something as well.
"Let's go it alone then."
Qian Bufan coughed lightly.
Xue Jing nodded in agreement. "I agree."
Yin Huaxuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting the two to be so accommodating.
"Hmph, then I wish you both a great success in your journey to the secret realm."
Yin Huacheng, utterly humiliated, turned and left.
I watched his back.
Li Mo raised an eyebrow, a glint of something sinister flashing in his eyes.
The Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye activated!
Hehe, thank you to all the readers. When I started writing this book, I didn't expect it to do so well. As a newbie writer, this is my first time writing a fantasy novel, and some details are not handled as well as I'd like.
I'll be more serious and do my best in every scene from now on, mwah!
