Mirage God Spirit Bead, Sharing the Moon
Li Mansion.
As the winter sun was about to sink into the Clear Water River, its light fading just before it went out, the vast Qinghe County was bathed in a captivating rosy glow.
The Li Mansion, bathed in the setting sun, looked brand new, and the family was having dinner.
Li Dalong, returning from the Ying Family Old Residence, spoke with some lingering fear about the survey he had conducted that day.
"That Calamity Beast was truly terrifying. Based on preliminary assessment, it was at least Sixth Grade Calamity Beast. When we arrived, its body was covered in sword wounds, so it must have died last night."
"Sixth Grade official? Good thing he's dead... but who killed him?"
In a small county like Qinghe County, Li Dalong, as the county constable, is equivalent to the head of a police station and is only at the Inner Breath Realm. This Calamity Beast, which is equivalent to the Inner Scene Realm of the human race, would have unimaginable consequences if it went berserk.
"I find it strange too."
Li Dalong shook his head and described the scene vividly:
"There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, but the Calamity Beast was covered in sharp sword wounds, yet it moved like a gazelle's horns, leaving no trace. Son, do you have any clues?"
Old Li had to admit that his son was already far more authoritative than him in martial arts.
"Cough..."
Li Mo glanced at the Ice Block on her snowy cheeks, and coughed lightly:
"Perhaps it was some unparalleled master who disliked worldly troubles, and after making his move, he simply left without a trace, concealing his merits and fame."
"It seems there aren't any sword masters in Qinghe County who can reach this level."
"Who said there isn't?"
Li Mo was the first to disagree.
But then, Ying Bing picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into his bowl.
Who is it?
"That's right, it's your son, me! I almost became Hengyun Sword Hero, just a little bit short."
Sword Immortal Li's thumb curved and pointed at himself.
"Tsk..."
My parents rolled their eyes at the same time, their expressions clearly showing considerable skepticism.
"..."
Heaven Derivation Sect!
I could kill you a thousand times and it still wouldn't be enough!!!
Little Li Overlord thought to himself, "Luckily, I'm not one of those overpowered protagonists from storybooks, otherwise, with such a deep-seated grudge, wouldn't I have wiped out his entire family?"
Let's get back to the main topic.
Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said seriously:
"Father, Mother, I need to go out for a while."
"With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, where should we go?"
"I'm going to Purple Sun Prefecture. I haven't been back to my sect since returning from the Southern Border, so I should let my elders know I'm safe and pay them a visit."
"Wow, you've grown up!"
You see, Little Li doesn't actually want to lie to his parents.
But how could he possibly tell the truth, that he wasn't just there to commit fraud, but to swindle a notorious cult?
Ying Bing frowned slightly and glanced at him.
After dinner, Li Mo returned to his room. He remembered that he hadn't claimed an investment feedback payment yet, so he first activated the system.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in 'Ying Bing' and lifted her nightmare.]
[You have an investment feedback report to claim.]
"May the Ice Block protect you."
Little Li looked solemn and, for the first time ever, used a little bit of mystical knowledge before giving feedback.
This is called "grabbing Ice Block at the last minute".
The things that are coming out of the Ice Block are certainly good, but they might not be the immediate solution...
[Investment Feedback: Mirage God Spirit Bead]
[Mirage God Spirit Bead]: "This pearl can simulate all kinds of strange phenomena, and even realms of cultivation, allowing the host to be cool and stylish from all angles without any blind spots."
Your imagination determines how powerful you appear, but only in appearance, of course.
It is recommended to have some experience in showing off in front of others before using this method; otherwise, you may end up being ridiculed instead of showing off.
"..."
Li Mo summarized the description of this item.
In short.
This thing is just for adding special effects, right?
In his palm, a round bead the size of a thumb appeared. Though small, it seemed to contain a deep twilight, its Divine Intent shimmering.
"Can one's realm be changed at will?"
Li Mo's mind sank, and a wisp of aura around him suddenly surged.
Inner Scene!
External Scene Realm!
Dharma Body!
Profound Mastery!
Upon reaching the Profound Mastery Realm, the ascent of his aura came to an abrupt halt, after all, the strongest person Li Mo had ever encountered was the Divine Monk Huai Kong.
He had never even seen the higher Heaven-Reaching Realm, so naturally, he couldn't add any special effects to them.
"Holy crap, this feeling... is so powerful."
Li Mo clenched his fist, then shook his head.
No matter what special effects were added, it's still fake. His power level hasn't changed at all. He can fool others, but he shouldn't fool himself...
But this also shows that this object is extremely mysterious.
Unless you engage in combat, no one else will be able to tell, which is perfect for this situation.
Snap--
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Um?"
Li Mo looked up and saw Ying Bing standing there with her sword in her arms in front of the door as dusk flowed by, her eyes clear and solemn.
However, upon discovering that Profound Mastery's aura originated from Li Mo, the seriousness in her eyes turned into confusion.
"Ice Block?"
What are you doing?
"Oh, I just hugged your leg briefly, and it worked wonders."
"?"
Having dispelled the oppressive aura of the Profound Mastery Realm, Li Mo held the Mirage God Spirit Bead in his palm and explained it to her.
"Simulated aura and unusual phenomena..."
Ying Bing entered the room, glanced at Li Dalong and his wife not far away, and then closed the door.
"Are you planning to use this to deceive the members of the Demon Summoning Cult again?"
"!!"
Looking at Ice Block's calm face, Li Mo leaned back slightly, his heart skipping a beat.
He didn't say anything.
But she seemed to know exactly what she was thinking.
"Ice Block, do you have some kind of superpower, like mind reading or something?"
"Telepathy? Buddhism does have such a martial art, but I've never practiced it."
"Then how do you know I'm going to Purple Sun Prefecture and not back to Clear Abyss Sect...?"
"Because you didn't let me come along."
Ying Bing's mirror-like eyes stared at people with a chilling intensity.
"..."
Li Mo pursed his lips and said helplessly:
"It's not that I deliberately hid it from you, it's just that the Demon Summoning Cult mainly wants to test me right now, so my going is enough."
Ying Bing said softly, "I can help you."
"But sending one more person increases the risk. The person who came this time is different from the Hundred Beast Hall Master last time."
As Li Mo spoke, seeing her pursing her lips, he quickly said seriously:
"You're not allowed to call me 'stinky little brother,' not even 'little brother.'"
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Ying Bing stared at him thoughtfully for a moment before speaking:
"Then I won't follow you. Release your Will Soul."
"Shall we begin dual cultivation now?"
"No, I've gained a new understanding of the Taiyin Divine Intent, and with the addition of <Phoenix Singing in the Heavenly Marsh>, I've created a martial art somewhat similar to 'telepathy'."
"When did you create this?" A small question mark appeared above Li Mo's head.
Aside from hammer techniques, he couldn't easily create his own martial arts techniques even using his insights into martial arts.
"Just."
"???"
Before long, Ying Bing taught him the method.
It might actually be newly created, because it's practically tailor-made for the two of them.
The prerequisite for its use is that both individuals possess the Divine Intent of Taiyin.
Once activated, it's like starting a comprehensive video call, allowing two people to connect through the medium of the Taiyin (a concept in Will Soul), regardless of spatial distance.
They can even see what he sees and hear what he hears.
Of course, there are limitations; it can only be used at night when there is a moon.
"Ice Block, have you named this martial art yet?"
Li Mo gazed at the moon climbing the night sky and asked instinctively.
No.
"How about calling it 'Sharing the Moon'?"
Li Mo felt even more confident and let out a breath of stale air before laughing.
Ying Bing's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently.
She also quietly looked up at the moon; the moonlight tonight would probably be quite beautiful.
I wonder if, many years ago, my parents also stood side by side, watching the same full moon rise with them?
