"The moon seems much brighter tonight than usual?"

In the side room, Li Mo had just laid out the bedding.

After a moment's thought, he roughly guessed that Ice Block's refusal to let him live next door was related to her physical condition.

I'm not sure if it happens regularly every month, like those few days, or if it's just an occasional occurrence?

"The Lunar Phoenix Physique exhibits various extraordinary phenomena."

"My Immortal Body is too understated; even breaking through to a higher realm is a problem now."

Li Mo only made a couple of sarcastic remarks.

The system never gave him anything useless, especially anything dropped from the Ice Block.

But the thing about constitution...

Those were all martial artists with physical strength, who developed their skills through experience over generations.

Lin Jiang, for example, clearly knew that he needed to practice marksmanship in order to maximize his physical strengths.

There is no one to learn from Li Mo.

I can only rely on myself and figure it out step by step...

Thinking this way.

Li Mo opened the two newly Supreme Lore Swordsmanship and began to study them carefully.

As night deepened, the night grew more intense.

Suddenly, the World Seed rippled.

"Chulong so early today?"

In the World Seeds.

Jiang Chulong hugged the tree branch, her head drooping. She had just demonstrated her work, and her gaze was furtively fixed on the opposite side.

She bit her lip before cautiously asking:

"Teacher... I... I didn't... disappoint you, did I?"

She didn't know.

The 'Heavenly Venerable' almost gasped in shock, and then exclaimed, "This woman is terrifying!"

He said that a single blade of grass could cut down the sun, moon, and stars, but he really just said it casually to give Princess Little Jiang a little encouragement.

But Princess Little Jiang is really practicing in this direction!

Just now, when she drew her sword...

It actually carried a hint of the boundless meaning of "wildfire cannot burn it all, the spring breeze brings it back to life".

It's a sword stance.

Without ever formally learning any Swordsmanship techniques, she comprehended her own unique style!

"Hmm, not bad. This period must have been very tough."

"It wasn't easy... it was tough."

Jiang Chulong blushed as she was praised, waving her little hands repeatedly.

"I am... I am..."

"I practiced it when I got up early... while eating... while going outside... while picking things up... I practiced it a bit... and then at night... before going to bed... I practiced it with you for a while longer..."

Princess Little Jiang's day is very simple.

Eat, sleep, pick up trash, and practice swordsmanship while doing these three things.

Li Mo: "..."

So you only train for twelve hours a day?

Besides, weren't we told the Murong Clan to take good care of her? Why is she still going out to collect scraps?

"Are you experiencing any difficulties in your life?"

"I used to go hungry often, but after Big Brother Li came, I haven't been hungry since..."

Jiang Chulong suddenly stopped stuttering and spoke softly.

Her voice trailed off as she spoke of "Big Brother Li"...

"Then why do you go out to collect things every day?"

Hearing the Teacher Heavenly Venerable ask this question.

Jiang Chulong tilted her head.

Oh right, why?

She didn't understand either.

All she knew was that every time she picked up unwanted items from outside—like broken kites or chipped bottles—she felt a sense of satisfaction, accomplishment, and joy watching those junks being neatly sorted and arranged.

"Interests... hobbies?"

Jiang Chulong blinked and tentatively asked.

Li Mo: "..."

Such a niche interest.

Okay, whatever makes you happy.

"By the way... teacher... how is Big Brother Li doing lately?"

A weak, questioning voice came from above.

Jiang Chulong's grayish-white eyes were even brighter than before.

She thought to herself, "My teacher is so amazing. He knows everything about those magnificent events from High Antiquity, down to the smallest detail."

You must know how Big Brother Li has been doing lately, right?

The girl is quite concerned about me.

I said I was going back to see her, but I haven't sent her a message yet.

Li Mo couldn't help but smile to himself.

He cleared his throat:

"Li Mo, right? He's doing quite well."

"Having just won a top-three finish at the Clear Abyss Sect's Nine Peaks Martial Tournament, his reputation has soared, and he is admired by the heroes of Purple Sun Prefecture."

"Just a passerby, but to be fair, his Swordsmanship is pretty good."

Jiang Chulong's eyes lit up as she listened, as if she had drifted far away and seen Big Brother Li looking triumphant on the arena.

She smiled foolishly:

"Big Brother Li is amazing!"

"Yes, he should be coming back to the Prefecture City to see you in a while."

"Really?"

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. You can take these two sword manuals and study them. I'll test you next time, so practice them quietly on your own and don't show them to anyone."

With a wave of his sleeve, the Heavenly Venerable displayed two Sword Canon on the table.

Jiang Chulong carefully put it away.

Then, clutching her stomach, she asked, somewhat confused:

"Teacher, I... I think there's a little mouse in my tummy lately."

Little mouse?

Li Mo, behind the mask, raised an eyebrow and placed his hand on her wrist.

After sensing it for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little strange:

That's not the stomach, that's the Dantian.

"Your pulse is about to open."

"Opening the meridians?"

Jiang Chulong knew very little about martial arts and didn't quite understand the concept of opening meridians.

Li Mo didn't have a chance to tell her either.

He also planned to wait until Jiang Chulong had recovered enough before helping her to condense her Qi and Blood.

Unexpectedly, she found the right path on her own, even though she was completely clueless.

"In that case, I will give you some pills to protect your meridians."

The night grew even darker.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the entire Autumn Water Pavilion, causing the ground to reflect a snow-white light.

The sound of the stream flowing in the courtyard has disappeared.

"Call..."

Li Mo exhaled a breath of white air and looked outside.

The entire stream had frozen solid, its surface gleaming with a deep blue luster in the night.

The small Autumn Water Pavilion is now so cold that water freezes instantly, making it even colder than the dead of winter.

"Ice Block..."

"I hope nothing will happen."

Thinking this way.

A system notification suddenly sounded in my ear:

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in Jiang Chulong and helped her successfully open her meridians.]

[Investment Feedback: One Mithril Heavenly Book Seal]

[Mithril Heavenly Book Seal: Can be used to refine and perfect any Supreme Lore Cultivation Method or lower, and elevate it to a higher grade!]

"It's finally here!"

Li Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

He only needs a Mithril Heavenly Book Seal to upgrade his Supreme Lore into a divine skill, and then he can use that Gilded Heavenly Book Seal.

This means that he will obtain a martial art that surpasses even divine skills!

There's also a chance to break through to the Inner Breath Realm!

If Princess Little Jiang were in front of me, I would hug her tightly and give her two big kisses!

No need to hesitate.

A small seal, resembling flowing mercury, appeared in his palm, its tadpole-like characters seemingly coming to life.

He took out the <Fire Lotus Extreme Yang Force> and covered it up.

The handwriting suddenly began to flow, as if countless fish were darting about within it.

<True Phoenix Blood Lotus Sun-Changing Divine Art>

Divine skill!

The thing that countless people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have dreamed of lies quietly on the table.

A single divine skill is enough to cause the fall of countless powerful individuals, influence the rise and fall of unimaginable forces, stir up turbulent times, and unleash a storm of bloodshed.

After reading the Moonlight Sword Canon and the Sun Wheel Sword Canon, Li Mo knew that although these two Swordsmanship were exquisite, they were ultimately only low-grade Supreme Lore.

No matter how well the two swords combine, it can never compare to true divine skill.

This is mostly due to the passage of time and the escalating rumors.

"His divine skill is still beyond imagination; it is the pinnacle of martial arts."

"And what lies above that?"

Li Mo couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement.

The Gilded Heavenly Book Seal, held in his palm, slowly landed on the paper.

Golden mystical runes erupted in that instant, flowing into it like rivers flowing eastward to the sea.

The fine blue-and-white paper gradually dissipated, as if the writing on it had exceeded its capacity to hold anything.

"Oh my god, I didn't even see it clearly..."

Startled, Li Mo stared intently.

But the characters were obscure and profound, seemingly constantly changing and disappearing, making them impossible for anyone to decipher.

This was not a type of writing that Li Mo had ever seen before.

In fact, it's hard to even call this a character.

Buzz--

The paper finally vanished completely.

However, it transformed into a lotus petal with mysterious charm, and while Li Mo wasn't paying attention, it flew into his brow.

Boom--

A magnificent scene flashed through my mind.

It was as if the world had just been created, and all things were in chaos. In an instant, countless things were disappearing and being reborn, far more exaggerated than the commotion in the Small World.

A red lotus flower quietly grows.

The lotus petals sway gently, and boundless Karmic Fire and refines the sky.
