"Those who come after, when you pick up this sword, I will already be gone..."
The scene changes.
It seems that because it was not in the Heavenly Human City, the divine sword's spirituality was affected, and the following scenes appeared fragmented and broken.
All Li Mo could vaguely make out were the hands that had once held the sword.
The fragmented images, like a scrolling marquee, disappeared.
What tore the screen apart was a chilling Sword Qi.
This sword originated from an ethereal and elusive intent, yet the moment its light shone, it gave one the feeling of having already been pierced through.
This feeling is familiar.
That was Li Mo's feeling when he first met Crimson Firmament.
However, the spirituality of the Heavenly Human Divine Sword is incomparable to that of the Mystic Weapon.
Li Mo closed his eyes and released his Will Soul, as if he saw a figure in the Unseen.
The person was dressed entirely in black, with their face covered by a black cloth, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female; only a pair of cold, ruthless eyes were visible.
The short sword in his hand emitted a faint, eerie light, like a stagnant pool of water.
His voice also showed no emotional fluctuation.
"My Swordsmanship emphasizes building up momentum. Once I strike, it's all or nothing; it's a matter of life and death, not a question of who is better or worse."
"The Swordsmanship has only one move, named..."
"The Impermanence Scroll."
Li Mo had heard of this name before.
He overheard the storyteller mention that the former Second Killer of the Drizzle Pavilion was also the Second Hidden Dragon, whose whereabouts were shrouded in mystery, and whose identity remains unknown to this day.
The only thing known is that he only knows one sword technique and has only ever practiced that one sword technique his entire life.
The time of Human Butcher, Earthly Fiend, and heavenly annihilation.
To this day, no one has been able to withstand this unpredictable and divine sword strike.
After assassinating a member of the Great Yu royal family, he disappeared without a trace. Some say he died, others say he went into seclusion, but this sword strike became his final act.
Now, this Supreme God "Impermanence Post" has reappeared in the world with the help of the Heavenly Human Divine Sword.
Clang--
The short sword was suddenly drawn, its murderous intent pure, chilling, and even... dazzling, instantly captivating its target's mind.
An inch longer means an inch stronger; an inch shorter means an inch more dangerous.
The short sword cannot slash, it can only stab. This sword strike simplifies the complex and perfectly embodies the extreme danger.
"Call..."
Li Mo squinted and touched the goosebumps on his neck.
He put himself in the shoes of this person's adversary.
Despite his formidable physique and Will Soul, he still exuded a strong sense of threat!
He can smash his opponent to pieces with a single blow.
However, at the same time, they could also be seriously injured by this eerie and menacing short sword.
If using a sword...
"None of the intents left behind in the Heavenly Human Divine Sword are easy to deal with."
Li Mo let out a long sigh of relief.
"My sword strike may seem simple, but it is actually a simplification of complexity. It requires years of practice, drawing the sword and thrusting it three thousand times a day, each time with unwavering determination, even at the cost of shattering like jade."
Therefore, even someone with exceptional swordsmanship talent will need to hone their skills through practice.
"You're unlucky to have met me first."
The sword intent that killed the second day was spoken indifferently.
"Only after mastering this sword technique can one learn the next level of Swordsmanship."
"Even someone with talent no less than mine would need at least eight years to master this sword technique."
Eight years.
By then, Li Mo would no longer be on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The Hidden Dragon Assembly is about to begin; he can't possibly only master this one Swordsmanship.
Fortunately...
What he fears least is taking a long time and wasting time.
[Thirty years of martial arts insights successfully infused.]
[In your first year, following the sword intent passed down through generations, you began to ponder the meaning of "better to shatter like jade than survive like a broken tile," and attempted to thrust your sword. You thrust tens of thousands of times, but only once did you barely capture the Divine Charm of the Impermanence Scroll.]
[In the tenth year, you are still endlessly drawing and thrusting your sword. Now you can unleash nine thousand sword strikes, one hundred of which perfectly capture the Divine Charm the Impermanence Scroll.]
[The twentieth year...]
[The 30th year...]
[Congratulations, host, your Impermanence Scroll has been partially completed.]
[Congratulations, host! With the addition of a powerful sword technique, your mastery of the Nine Swords of Dugu has also increased significantly, reaching new heights.]
Boom--
Countless insights surged through Li Mo's mind, as if he had experienced thousands upon thousands of sword thrusts.
In the end, millions of swords converged into one.
He opened his eyes.
A wisp of pure, chilling sword intent, flickering and vanishing.
"..."
The intent left within the divine weapon is ultimately not that of a living person.
It paused for a moment, as if it had crashed.
He stared at Li Mo for a long time without making a sound.
Swordsmanship requiring decades of honing, simplified yet profound, all in an instant...
Small success!
The Heavenly Human Divine Sword trembled slightly.
"Next, thank you."
Li Mo politely bowed to the other party, then smiled and looked at the Heavenly Human Divine Sword, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.
Looking down on his swordsmanship talent? You're being foolish.
What do you mean by "showing divine power in front of people"... no, before the sword?
Well, for now it's just a display of prowess before the sword, but by the time of the Hidden Dragon Assembly, it will be a display of prowess before everyone!
Noon.
It took three hundred years to gain insight into martial arts.
Having mastered several Swordsmanship in succession, Li Mo came downstairs, let out a long sigh, and went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes to relax.
Having received the inheritance of several profound Swordsmanship, his Will Soul felt somewhat swollen.
It seems that even insights gained from martial arts can't withstand such use.
"Will the remaining 1,700 years be enough to learn all the sword intent inherited from the Heavenly Human Divine Sword?"
Li Mo carried the dishes to the main hall, feeling somewhat uncertain.
He seems to have learned a lot.
In reality, compared to the sword intent inherited within the divine sword, it is merely the tip of the iceberg.
Little Li never imagined this.
Even with 1,700 years of martial arts insights, there are times when they fall short.
The more Swordsmanship one masters, the stronger the power one can wield when using the Heavenly Human Divine Sword.
While pondering...
Murong Xiao, Xiao Qin, and the others were all waiting at the table for dinner to be served.
What level are the chefs at Cloud-Stepping Tower? Can they compare to Brother Li?
"That guy's dream last night was really strange and unlucky."
Qin Yuzhi, her face dark, drank several mouthfuls of tea, seemingly still unable to recover.
"What dream?"
Li Mo was somewhat curious.
Sister Qin is at the Seventh Realm; she's seen countless bizarre and fantastical things in her sleep. What kind of dream could give her such a powerful aftereffect?
"That person's dreams are filled with Heavenly Venerable Brand Instant Noodles; I feel like throwing up just smelling them now."
Qin Yuzhi started to feel nauseous again as she spoke, looking at Li Mo with resentment.
She was already promoting Instant Noodles to the people in their dreams every day in Southern Border, and now that she's in Imperial Capital, she's still chasing after Instant Noodles!
"What's even more annoying is that the guy Instant Noodles with a disgusted expression, like he was about to become an immortal."
"In the end, he actually died, which forced me to stop sleepwalking."
"Dead?"
Li Mo was taken aback and asked what the person looked like.
"He's skinny, but once Instant Noodles, he becomes as strong as an ox."
"Lu Zhuang?"
Li Mo was stunned.
He originally planned to follow Lu Zhuang and find out exactly why the Heavenly Venerable instant Instant Noodles contained Divine Strength Powder.
Unexpected.
The person is gone.
"Sister Qin, do you know where he died?"
