It was getting dark.

Inside the Mountain Lord Temple, the flames of the bonfire had long been overshadowed by the radiance of the Jade Phoenix God.

Li Mo sat alone in front of the offering table, looking at the remaining Essence Blood in the System Space.

"Lu Wu... Baize... Xiezhi..."

With the assistance of the Jade Phoenix God, he no longer needed to worry about choosing which True Spirit to transform into the Seventy-Two Transformations.

Simply prepare your Essence Blood in advance.

So he first took out the Moon Soul Crystal, observed the Divine Intent of the Taiyin, filled his Will Soul with energy, and adjusted his state to its best.

About half an hour later.

Among the many phenomena, a spirit beast with a tiger's head, green hair, white fur, and a single horn on its head leaped out. This was the choice made for him by the Jade Phoenix God.

"Baize, huh..."

Li Mo stared intently at the True Spirit.

The Divine Charm of his bloodline surged into my mind like a spring.

This Baize True Spirit possesses none of the ferocity of Demon Beast; on the contrary, it is extremely gentle and amiable.

A moment later.

Little Li has become Baize Xiao Li.

The Seventy-Two Transformations have been updated with one more.

"Baize seems to be extremely sensitive to other people's thoughts..."

"Could someone with a weak mind even know what the other person is thinking?"

Baize's bloodline power is quite useful; when combined with the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye, the effect is excellent, practically stripping the opponent naked.

Unfortunately, none of the characteristics of each transformation can be used when taking on a human form.

With that thought in mind, Li Mo got up.

Under the cold moon.

Ying Bing sat at the portable tea table, exuding that familiar, serene, and sacred aura. She sipped her tea gently, her frost-like eyes observing the slightest movement around her.

But when she saw the boy emerge from the temple, her gaze softened visibly.

Are you cold?

Li Mo subconsciously forgot about her constitution and took off his outer garment and draped it over her shoulders.

Ying Bing raised her hand to touch her clothes, her delicate nose twitched slightly, but in the end she only tightened her collar:

"It's a bit windy."

"Go ahead, your safety is in my hands."

Li Mo gave a thumbs-up and smiled, looking very reliable.

The two switched places. Ying Bing entered the Mountain Lord Temple, glanced back, and saw the young man pick up the teacup she had placed there and take a sip. A sense of relief welled up in her heart.

The best approach is to focus all your attention on observing Divine Intent.

With him sitting there, you can probably feel at ease.

"If there is any unusual movement, blow the Jade Feather Whistle."

"With me here, there will be no surprises."

Li Mo shook the red string on his wrist to indicate that he understood.

Ying Bing left the temple door slightly ajar.

She didn't rush to activate the Jade Phoenix God, but instead looked out through the crack in the door.

Little Li sat there intently, his face serious.

After a while, it heard the rustling of leaves, then moved swiftly and stood on a tree. Upon realizing it was a bird, it clicked its tongue, seemingly mocking itself for being too tense.

But not long after he sat back down, the bushes stirred again, and a few moments later he returned carrying a rabbit.

He was still muttering to himself about whether he should just have roasted rabbit for breakfast tomorrow.

A hint of a smile flashed in Ying Bing's eyes, illuminated by a ray of moonlight.

Only then did he put on that garment and activate the Jade Phoenix God.

All my attention was focused on the True Spirit of the Hundred Birds.

Time passed slowly.

As night deepened, the night grew more intense.

"Um?"

Li Mo opened his eyes, and an unusual flapping sound of wings came from beside his ear.

He reached out and caught the small bird, about the size of a thumb, which resembled Hummingbird.

"Chirp chirp!"

"I'm here to deliver a message for Clan Leader Shang!"

The Hummingbird wiggled its little head, its voice muffled.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

When Li Mo released his grip, the Hummingbird looked at him with a human-like liveliness in its eyes.

"What did Clan Leader Shang say?" Li Mo had no time to pay attention to the feelings of a bird.

"Two Sixth Grade Calamity Beast are coming to cause you trouble soon!"

Li Mo frowned and became solemn.

Shang Qinqing had said that they wouldn't encounter the Demon King.

But in fact, they hadn't seen any fifth or Sixth Grade Calamity Beast along the way.

Unexpectedly, they appeared together from both ends, as if they had made a prior arrangement.

The Sixth Grade is equivalent to the Inner Scene of a human being.

"Two Inner Scene..."

Sensing the fluctuations of the Divine Intent behind him, Li Mo abandoned the idea of blowing the Jade Feather Whistle.

Firstly, the Ice Block is now at a critical juncture.

Furthermore, he wanted to test his current skill level.

The top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are all capable of fighting in the Inner Scene.

What about the other two?

The Hummingbird demon was about to say something more, but suddenly its feathers stood on end and it shuddered, then it quickly scurried away.

The next moment.

Hehehe.

"Hehehe..."

The ground trembled, and two huge, hazy black shadows appeared not far away.

One was a four-headed giant snake, its body exuding a strong, pungent stench that withered vegetation wherever it passed. Li Mo was quite familiar with this true form.

The other Calamity Beast was also a snake, with six legs and four wings. Not even dew could remain around its body, and standing dozens of feet away would make one's throat go dry.

It's like having the air conditioning on all night, then running out of water in the morning and having to go downstairs to buy more under the blazing sun...

"The Nine-headed Serpent Clan, the Feiyi Clan?"

Li Mo had seen the True Spirit of these two races within the Jade Phoenix God.

Seeing him standing there alone, Nine-headed Serpent's four ferocious heads all revealed a hint of bloodlust.

"So you're the one who blew our Young Clan Leader's head off? Fine, fine..."

"The light of the Heavenly Jade... devour... devour you all!"

Feiyi stared greedily into the temple.

Both of these Calamity Beasts are quite aggressive.

Little Li pondered for a moment.

They decided to first figure out why the two of them had chased after them together.

Secret Technique!

I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush.

Cough... Actually, it's the calming and soothing properties of the Taiyin Clear Radiance.

Enveloped in a gentle glow, this was not a harmful attack; even those at a higher cultivation level would find it impossible to defend against.

"I don't know what you taste like... Aba aba..."

"Heavenly Jade... hehehe... hmm?"

Nine-headed Serpent and Feiyi suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.

All the negative emotions in my heart seemed to vanish instantly.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Mo asked:

"You two are quite coincidental, coming together."

"It won't hurt to tell you."

Nine-headed Serpent's four heads spoke simultaneously, "It's not just two, there are four Sixth Grade Demon Beast in total, all of them have come to take your life."

"We just arrived the earliest, and we figured there was no need to wait for those few good-for-nothings. We two demons are going to take you down."

Amidst the grotesque laughter of the Feiyi, greed rekindled from the ashes.

Four Sixth Grade Calamity Beast?

Li Mo squinted his eyes:

"Who are the other two?"

"The River-Turning Crocodile, the Nine-Headed Bird ..." Feiyi was saying.

Nine-headed Serpent could no longer suppress his killing intent and said coldly:

"You are all doomed tonight. Surrender and I'll give you a quick death."

"We'll talk about the Divine Jade later; I have another question."

Little Li casually remarked again:

"There's only one Divine Jade. How do you plan to divide it?"

The ultimate King of Brawling.

If there is more than one enemy, you can try to sow discord.

While Little Li was dealing with two powerful demons...

Inside the room, Ying Bing opened her eyes slightly, a flicker of light faintly visible in them.

How could she not know what was happening outside?

Only.

Li Mo hadn't blown the Jade Feather Whistle yet.

She was curious too.

Can Li Mo, now using all his strength, defeat the two Inner Scene?

Could there be any danger?

It seemed as if two tiny figures, both resembling herself, appeared on Ying Bing's shoulders.

One of them, with a cold expression, said that men all have pride, especially in front of their loved ones. Don't you like seeing him descend to earth like a god? What's wrong with being protected once in a while?

One person, looking worried, said he was so naive. What if he got hurt? What if he lost an arm or a leg? Wouldn't you regret it to death then?

The two little people were arguing back and forth.

Ying Bing's usually cool and bright eyes showed a particularly noticeable hint of confusion.
