Li Mo’s plan was not complicated, and with a group of monster kings and large monsters cooperating to perform, these monster seniors, if placed among humans, would be at the Fifth Stage Outer or even Sixth Stage Dharma-Body realm.
How could he make the local people believe in him?
It was simple, wasn’t it? Just show himself as a saint in front of others.
He was very familiar with this. He had read so many novels; Little Li was well-versed in all sorts of ways to appear as a saint in front of others.
At that time, giving the people of the South Border a small but shocking experience, there would be no problem in becoming their new ‘god’.
When the time was ripe, he would slowly fade away.
After discussing the details of the plan, night fell.
The monsters looked at each other, feeling that Commander Sky Flood Dragon truly lived up to his reputation as a genius, with a proposal that was simply amazing.
“Senior monsters have eaten their fill and can stay at Jia Wei Tavern.”
After a while.
Li Mo greeted the group of monsters, got up to leave, and prepared to return to the tavern with Ying Bing first.
The general’s tent was still where Commander Qu handled military affairs, and he couldn’t stay there recuperating until he recovered.
His two arms hung down, and together with Ying Bing, he walked on the street. The snow had been trampled by pedestrians and carriages, making the ground feel like an ice surface.
People would occasionally fall hard on the icy ground and struggle to get up.
The South Border had never seen such heavy snow.
On the street, children made sleds for their yellow dogs to pull, and some were sliding on the snow, playing snowball fights, even role-playing.
“It’s my turn to be Young Hero Li!”
“I’ve been a Disaster Beast twice today.”
“Hurry, give me the sword.”
Li Mo saw some children nearby fighting over a straight tree branch, and his eyes lit up.
“A divine sword, truly a divine sword.”
“?”
Ying Bing glanced at the Scarlet Heaven sword at his waist and her clear eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.
The phrase ‘men d*e young’ was perfectly embodied in Little Li.
From how he carefully took out the ice lid from a water jar earlier, afraid of breaking it when taking it out, but then threw it to the ground in one piece, shattering it, and then asking her if he was cool with a bright smile, it was evident.
If she didn’t hold him back, he might want to go skating right away.
“Li Mo.”
Ying Bing extended her little hand.
“Come on.”
Eager to try, Li Mo finally chose to hold the Ice Chunk’s hand (being led by the Ice Chunk).
The cold, fragrant, soft little hand gradually warmed up, making Li Mo bolder, and he would occasionally slide forward a bit.
Sometimes when he moved slowly, noticing his intention, Ying Bing would gently glance at him and lead him to slide forward for a while.
Was it really quite happy?
Ying Bing turned to look at him. The young man who was almost seventeen was about to become a famous hero, and the Qianlong List would soon spread his deeds across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But he was being led by her, with a cheerful smile, like a boy who hadn’t grown up yet.
She felt a strange sensation in her heart.
It was as if something had taken root and sprouted…
Hmm…
Perhaps, possibly, maybe, because she had worn the Taiyin Immortal Dress for too long, her Taiyin aura had become vigorous, causing some restlessness…
…
Deep night.
In the small world.
Looking around, the mist was almost gone. With the seven stars inside the sun and moon, and various landscapes meticulously constructed by the Great Heavenly Venerable, everything was thriving and extraordinary.
The area was now half the size of a city.
When Li Mo broke through to the Inner Scene realm, it might be as big as Yunzhou City.
When he reached the Inner Scene realm, he could project the small world as a field, covering the entire city!
Just thinking about it was mind-boggling.
However, the Great Heavenly Venerable currently wasn’t thinking about fields.
“Just now, Ice Chunk was tidying up something covertly. What was it?”
On the way back to the tavern, Ying Bing suddenly remembered something and asked him to wait outside.
…
Little Li was a bit odd.
Through the door, he saw Ice Chunk put something into a big-headed doll, which seemed to be… clothes?
“Could it be the local style in the South Border…”
Thinking of this, the Great Heavenly Venerable’s body trembled, and the contemplative look in his eyes deepened.
“Teacher… What are you thinking about?”
A timid voice sounded.
Princess Little Jiang just came in and saw her venerable teacher standing there with an inscrutable expression.
Could he be contemplating some profound truth?
“Such things, everyone understands.”
“If you don’t understand, it won’t help to explain.”
The Great Heavenly Venerable collected his thoughts, sighed, and shook his head.
“Oh…”
Princess Little Jiang obediently stopped asking, becoming more certain of her guess.
Her teacher’s thoughts were too profound; telling her wouldn’t help her understand.
Moreover, she had something more urgent:
“Teacher, Aunt Mei… Aunt Mei wants to take me… take me away from Ziyang Mansion.”
“But… But Brother Li hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Now that the South Border is so dangerous, is he… is he alright?”
Jiang Chulong asked these questions, and even her stuttering improved.
Li Mo was stunned.
Did the Ziyang Mansion know what happened in the South Border?
Didn’t that mean that the elders of the Qingyuan Sect also knew?
The news of the great victory in Qingmu City probably hadn’t reached them yet, and they must be very worried…
“He’s fine.”
The gentle voice of the Great Heavenly Venerable comforted Little Jiang, rubbing her head.
“Really?”
Jiang Chulong pursed her lips, and through the bandage, she could see her trembling eyes.
“When has this Sovereign ever lied to you.”
The Great Heavenly Venerable laughed softly again and said,
“Besides, it won’t be long before the Qianlong List is announced, and everyone in the world will know, and you will see it yourself.”
“Mmm…”
Jiang Chulong breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, and then whispered,
“Teacher, today… who will I spar with?”
“Today’s opponent is a bit different.”
The Great Heavenly Venerable smiled mysteriously and took out a Guan Shen painting.
This was a reward from investment returns. It depicted a young general who fought on the battlefield, embodying the true essence of the battlefield.
It was a high-grade item.
Currently, the Kongming Multicolor Tower stored only a bit more than one layer of the power of all living beings, enough to project a high-grade item.
The power of all living beings flowed from the small tower into the Huntuan Anti-True Mirror.
The mirror’s light shone on the painting, bringing out a figure within.
The person wore ancient battle armor and wielded a huge halberd, with an aura around the Observation Realm.
“This person is Prince Helian of the Great Shang during his time.”
“This projection contains part of his strength and the essence of his techniques.”
“Your lesson today is to defeat him!”
“He is just the first one. In the future, you will have many opponents. You need to defeat them and cultivate your own true sword path, culminating in the rebirth of your Sword Bone!”
From the information provided by the Heavenly Life Eye, Little Jiang was fifteen years old.
And when she entered the Observation Realm, it was when her Sword Bone would be reborn!
