Transcending Shadow Entities, the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix Inheritance Ground

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The intense sensation of weightlessness finally vanished, yet there was still no solid ground beneath their feet; they had not landed on earth.

Li Mo finally regained consciousness.

He suddenly discovered that behind them were clouds shimmering with seven-colored radiance, and it was precisely because of these strange clouds that they had not suffered the slightest injury.

These rays of light were flowing out from the cracks of a stone gate not far away.

"Thank you, you can let go now."

A cold, plain voice sounded in his ear.

"Uh..."

Li Mo was momentarily dazed.

That flawless, beautiful face was very close to his; he could even feel her warm breath.

Because he had been holding her so tightly, he could feel the heartbeat of this ice block through their clothes.

As everyone knows.

When a person falls into water or drops from a great height, they will subconsciously grab onto anything they can.

Young Master Li felt a bit awkward for a moment.

It seemed he had been worrying needlessly and had done something superfluous.

Li Mo coughed lightly, released her, and stood up, pretending to examine his surroundings:

"Where is this? I've never heard that there was such a place beneath the Clear Abyss."

"You asked me to come to Moon-Gazing Cliff just to bring me here?"

"Mm."

Ying Bing nodded, not offering much explanation.

"How did you know about this place?"

Li Mo asked casually.

When people are embarrassed, they tend to talk more nonsense.

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "I have been here in my dreams."

If one were to consider the events of a past life as a dream, then saying it this way was not wrong.

After her rebirth, many things had changed.

But fortunately, the call from this place had never faded.

Even if others had a hundred lives, jumping off Moon-Gazing Cliff would not allow them to reach this inheritance located within the Clear Abyss.

Even if they did arrive, they would be unable to successfully enter the interior of the inheritance and would only be trapped to death by the radiance.

"Let's go."

Ying Bing subconsciously placed her hand on her waist, but grasped only empty air.

"Use mine."

As the words fell.

A most ordinary Green Steel Sword appeared in her palm, bearing a few nicks the size of rice grains.

It seemed that his arrival at Moon-Gazing Cliff was not as easy as he had claimed?

Ying Bing suppressed the thoughts in her heart, nodded slightly, and moved forward with the sword.

Li Mo followed by her side, remaining vigilant of their surroundings.

Since this was an inheritance.

Then perhaps... there still existed some kind of trial?

The thought had barely crossed his mind.

Woo—

A bone-chilling wind blew past, sending shivers deep into their very souls.

"Come down... join me..."

"Why are you still alive!"

"Opportunity... peerless opportunity... take me in with you..."

Overlapping whispers drifted from the wind.

"Be careful."

"Do not stray too far from me."

Ying Bing's clear, cold voice reached him.

"What are these?"

Li Mo used the light from the Rosy Bridge to scan his surroundings.

He discovered pitch-black clouds surging, with hideous, agonizing faces flashing through them from time to time.

In the past, Ying Bing certainly would have been too lazy to explain.

But today, she actually cleared up his confusion:

"When a martial artist reaches the Divine Observation Realm, they can observe mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, exotic flowers, rare herbs, various mythical beasts, and even the wonders of heaven and earth to temper their spirit. When they reach the Great Completion of Divine Observation, they can even project their spirit outside their body to manipulate objects."

"Therefore, if a martial artist at or above the Divine Observation Realm perishes while harboring an obsession, a wisp of their spirit remains undying, transforming into a Yin Entity."

"Shadow Entities cannot endure sunlight, which is why there are so many of them here."

Young Li understood.

It was easy to imagine that many people had harbored thoughts of exploring the Clear Abyss and had put them into practice.

Among them were undoubtedly many powerhouses.

Clearly, they had all failed.

A wisp of obsession remained here forever, keeping watch over the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix inheritance they could no longer reach.

"Shadow Entities..."

The cold wind, carrying the Shadow Entities, attacked from all directions, and Ying Bing, standing beside him, suddenly made her move.

Clang—

This was the first time Li Mo had seen Ying Bing strike in earnest.

The sword light surged, blooming into hundreds of sword flowers.

Each petal of Sword Qi struck a Yin Entity with precision, knocking them back violently.

The Flower-Seeking Sword Technique at the Perfection Realm!

However.

This attack, which would have forced any Inner Breath Realm practitioner to retreat, failed to inflict any real damage after striking the Shadow Entities.

It merely knocked them back into the clouds, only for them to come rolling back again before long.

"Move faster; Shadow Entities do not fear blades or weapons..."

Ying Bing had not even finished her sentence.

Suddenly, a warm and harmonious sensation emanated from behind her.

Inside Li Mo's chest, a feather-shaped glow lit up from within his pouch.

The Fire Sparrow Feather.

Pure Yang and righteous, it was the very nemesis of evil, sinister, and murky things.

Li Mo threw a light punch.

His fist was unexpectedly coated in a thin layer of the Fire Sparrow's Yang energy.

"Hehehe..."

The Yin Entity opposite him clearly lacked complete consciousness.

It did not realize the gravity of the situation.

It was as if snow had met boiling oil.

The Yin Entity's ink-thick form began to dissolve and disintegrate almost instantly.

It instinctively tried to retreat.

But it was pierced through by Li Mo's punch.

Puff—

The Yin Entity dissipated.

"That pouch contains a trace of Phoenix Clan aura."

"It should be something left behind by a bird containing the bloodline of a True Phoenix, right?"

Ying Bing's tense body relaxed slightly.

In that case, she would not need to divide her attention to look after him.

It was just...

Why was Li Mo still standing there, motionless?

Young Li was somewhat dazed.

Because just a moment ago, the system had actually sent a notification.

[Congratulations to the host for a successful investment: helped 'Xia Rong' dispel his obsession and find peace.]

[Investment feedback: One year of martial arts insight.]

Li Mo: "!"

Killing a Yin Entity actually counts as investment feedback?

No wonder they say sending wandering souls to the afterlife counts as accumulating merit...

And so.

Li Mo looked at the shadows rolling within the mist, his eyes brimming with a sense of eagerness.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

One must claim the rewards that are due.

Just as Li Mo was about to continue, he noticed the Ice Block looking over with her dark brows slightly furrowed.

"Ahem."

"Many of these Shadow Entities were seniors of the Clear Abyss Sect."

"Since it is but a small effort, we should let them rest in peace."

Young Master Li said earnestly.

Ying Bing pressed her lips together, a faint, serene light flickering in her eyes.

In the end, she did not urge him to hurry, but waited quietly by his side.

Whenever a Yin Entity came for her, she would even casually drive it toward Li Mo.

How refreshing.

Li Mo shouted in delight within his heart.

A man and a woman working together, the work is never tiring.

In the span of just two incense sticks, the Shadow Entities were basically cleared out, and even the air seemed less chilling than before.

In return, he received a continuous stream of investment feedback.

Roughly calculated, he had gained eighty-six years of martial arts insights, which, added to his original total, brought him to nearly two hundred years.

There were also various miscellaneous items.

There were broken weapons, pills with different effects, gold and silver, and even a few land deeds, though he did not know if they were still valid.

"Many thanks."

Li Mo smiled from the bottom of his heart and cupped his hands toward Ying Bing.

"Mm."

Ying Bing sheathed her sword, an inexplicable feeling rising in her heart.

Sometimes she could not understand why Li Mo would do such things that offered no benefits and only wasted time.

But the feeling after finishing it.

It did not seem unpleasant?

Shaking her head, she stepped forward a few paces and finally stood before the entrance of the inheritance site, in front of the moss-covered stone door.

She pressed her fair hand against the stone door.

Hum—

A strange vibration rippled out.

Dust fell in rustles as the stone door slowly creaked open.

A peach-colored radiance flowed out, filling the surrounding space.

The light suddenly brightened, and Li Mo instinctively raised a hand to shield his eyes, peering into the doorway through the gaps between his fingers.
