Power

Li Mo woke up the next day, he coughed for a while and then felt much better. It turned out that Nie Zuo's medicine was effective; the aftereffects on his lungs had lessened compared to before.

In the days that followed, the caravan's progress became much smoother. Transportation on the Heavenmark Continent was not very developed; the main roads were generally dirt or gravel roads, with few stone-paved roads, and some of the main roads had even fallen into disrepair and turned into jungles.

Fortunately, the Shadow Legion's convoy had already come once before, and they knew the way back well. It can be said that when the two forces go to war on the Heavenmark Continent, the most important thing is not anything else, but to repair the road between the two sides first.

It is said that a hundred years ago, when the continent was still largely unified, the major cities and their main roads were all paved with stone slabs. Unfortunately, after the disaster of that year, the empire Annihilation, the major forces were scattered, and it became the situation it is today.

Li Mo sat in the carriage, toying with a wild boar tusk in his hand. With a little polishing, this tusk could be turned into a decent small curved dagger. Various messages came from his chest, suggesting that this tusk could be refined into a magical item with special powers.

"It seems I need to find a way to get some resources," Li Mo thought to himself. Since he couldn't engage in prolonged exercise and wanted to unleash his full potential, he could only pursue the ability to kill with a single blow and quickly end the battle.

As for Yao Ge's previous guess about the Sky Mark, she was clearly wrong. This Sky Mark resided within the fangs and could not be sensed without special techniques. Li Mo, using his techniques, roughly sensed that this Sky Mark was either related to power or sharpness.

Both of these attributes are quite good for Li Mo, who pursues the ability to kill with a single blow. Of course, the premise is that the Sky Mark here must be activated first, which requires a lot of resources.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Holy Sight Mountain, the five disciples began to practice their newly acquired power. Holy Sight Mountain has a long history and possesses a total of five sets of Sky Mark. These Sky Mark are fixed to each other and can be applied to the adaptee through ritual.

These five sets of Sky Mark each have their own names: [Dancing Blue], [Frost Moon], [Azure Mist Shadow], [Fearless Blade], and [Fearless Edge].

These five sets of Sky Mark were originally intended for use by elders and others. When a new generation of Assassin grew up, they would be handed over to Li Mo. If Li Mo had not left, he should have been in charge of the [Fearless Edge] set of Sky Mark. Unfortunately, there are no ifs. The Fearless Edge set is now in the hands of a former disciple of an elder.

Among the disciples of Holy Sight Mountain in this generation, the eldest brother Sheng Heng inherited the [Fearless Blade], Ling Ge inherited her father's [Dancing Blue], Zhang Qi inherited the [Azure Mist Shadow], and finally He Zhi He Zhi the [Frost Moon].

Each set of Sky Mark contains dozens of Sky Mark that are assembled and combined with each other. They generally have two or three abilities, but the top-tier Fearless Blade and Fearless Edge have four abilities.

However, these skills and abilities require a long period of training to master perfectly. For example, the move that Ling Piaoluo used before, which appeared out of thin air in another place as blue flames burned, was basically instinctive for Ling Piaoluo. She could use it as soon as she had a thought. But for Ling Ge, who had just inherited the Dancing Blue, she could only prepare for a few seconds before turning into blue flames on the spot and then appearing on the spot.

Of course, this is only temporary. After all, they were trained to inherit these things from the beginning. Once they become proficient, they will soon be able to form a fighting force. As for the elders who have been stripped of their Sky Mark, they will enter a period of decline and their strength will drop significantly. However, if nothing unexpected happens, they will still be able to retain one or two abilities based on their years of experience.

While this approach may have some shortcomings in terms of high-end combat power, it increases the number of highly skilled individuals. This is also to maintain the continuity of the military, ensuring that someone can protect the next generation when necessary.

The carriage finally entered a relatively flat cobblestone road. Judging from the excited expressions of the other members of the cult, the journey was nearing its end, and some people were starting to get restless.

Judging from the fact that Li Mo could produce the complete inheritance of Shadow Power, he is most likely the true Child of Prophecy. Many people in the team have also recognized Li Mo's identity. Even Riftbreaker, who was initially disobedient, managed to maintain a neutral position after receiving benefits.

Li Mo held the tusk dagger in his hand and tried it out. Li Mo nodded and eventually asked Yao Ge for some resources to forge the wild boar tusk into a dagger and activate the power of the Sky Mark on it.

Each time he swung the dagger known as the Frenzied Fang, a power would emerge, enhancing the attack and significantly amplifying its power.

The Black Day on Li Mo's chest rotated slightly, exerting a hidden yet profound influence on the surroundings. The carriage slowly came to a stop, Li Mo stepped out, where he saw a town in the distance, as well as a palace nestled against the mountainside.

Yao Ge had also told Li Mo about this place. It was originally an abandoned royal fiefdom from the old era. When they came here ten years ago, only a small number of refugees had gathered here. Most of them used to live in some caves and burrows in the surrounding mountains, and they survived by performing bloody sacrificial rituals.

Later, when the Shadow Cult established a stronghold here, these people were able to barely return to normal life. Li Mo noticed that when members of the Shadow Cult entered the town, they were greeted with cheers from many residents, a kind of cheering that was rarely seen in the past at Holy Sight Mountain.

And most of the residents had happy smiles on their faces, and there were many children running around on the streets. It was a newly built city, while Holy Sight Mountain to have entered middle age or even old age in comparison.

Just then, Li Mo suddenly felt a slight warmth in his chest. Before he could figure out what was happening, he saw Lu Zhu walk to the front of the crowd and loudly proclaim, "Fellow villagers, our Shadow Cult went out this time to carry out a mission: to bring back the so-called prophesied person."

"This young man Li Mo, may become the leader of the Shadow Cult in the future. He will replace the High Priest to lead the Shadow Cult and protect us. Don't let his fair appearance and lung disease fool you; I believe he can definitely protect everyone."

This seemingly complimentary but actually derogatory remark caused some residents to look at Li Mo with distrust. The high priestess who supported the city was respected by everyone. Suddenly, someone who appeared out of nowhere, with a lung disease, was going to replace the high priestess. No one could trust that.

"Actually, Brother Li Mo is also very powerful. He's very strong, so everyone should have confidence in him." Lu Zhu seemed anxious, but in reality, he was channeling his power to pressure Li Mo: "In that case, why don't I have a duel with Li Mo and let everyone see how strong Li Mo, the acting leader, really is?"

A ray of purple light descended from the horizon, echoing the crimson hue on Lu Zhu's head, creating a dazzling spectacle.
