Moon Gazing Cliff.
Throughout the journey, Ke Mo did not spend much thought on hunting beasts to k*ll.
No matter how generous the sect’s rewards were, they could never compare to the inheritance of Ice Chunk.
Listen, Nine Colors Original Phoenix.
Such a high-end opportunity, if not for holding onto Ice Chunk’s jade leg, he would probably have no chance of meeting it in his lifetime.
“Truly fragrant.”
While pondering, Ke Mo had already arrived at Moon Gazing Cliff.
Looking down from here, it was a sheer cliff thousands of feet deep, with clouds swirling below, making it impossible to see the bottom.
Not even a single bird could be seen.
Qingyuan.
This place is where the entire Qingyuan Sect originated from.
If one looks further, they will find that the entire Qingyuan appears very abruptly.
Without any beginning or end, it does not seem like a natural geographical formation.
“Where is the inheritance site?”
Ke Mo scanned the surroundings but failed to discover the so-called inheritance site.
Indeed.
This Moon Gazing Cliff is not some remote place; it is said that rare beasts often have romantic rendezvous here, and there are many legends within the sect about this place.
If it were easily found, it would have been revealed long ago.
How did Ice Chunk discover it?
Could it be that she discovered it just like he did with the Divine Edge Cave, feeling a resonance with the hammer?
Is this place also calling out to her?
“Speaking of which, they won’t make me jump from Moon Gazing Cliff to Qingyuan, right?”
“How deep is this…”
Ke Mo walked to the front of the peak to look around.
Suddenly, he felt a daze.
In the depths of his mind, it seemed as if a shocking sword intent descended.
The sword intent was like divine punishment from the nine heavens, capable of cutting through any obstacles in this world until the target was completely destroyed.
At this moment,
Ke Mo felt that his body, tempered by the extreme weapons and physical training, was incredibly fragile, no different from an ordinary person’s.
“Huh…”
“Qingyuan… was it carved out by someone with a single sword strike?”
Ke Mo’s heart surged with such a startling thought.
A sword strike made countless years ago still left behind its sword intent.
One sword’s light chilled nineteen states.
Before this sword intent, words like ‘awe-inspiring’ no longer seemed appropriate.
What kind of powerhouse must this be?
“Perhaps, Ice Chunk might also be such a powerful figure, or even stronger.”
Ke Mo recalled the Heavenly Destiny Deity’s evaluation of Ying Bing.
She will surely become one of the strongest among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Compared to her, he is at least in the bl**d Qi Realm, and should not be far behind…
Thinking of this, Little Ke sighed:
“Why can’t I be material for practicing sword techniques?”
“I’ll try again with another sword next time…”
…
The slightly chilly wind of Moon Gazing Cliff blew past.
Ying Bing gathered her slightly disheveled hair and glanced over.
“The Sword Path of Azure Heaven is indeed vast and imposing, with spirit piercing mountains and rivers.”
“Should the master who wields this path still be guarding the Sword Tomb?”
The person who struck this sword, even at their peak, would be enough to face them head-on.
Later,
The master passed on the Sword Path of Azure Heaven to a discarded prince of the Da Yu Dynasty.
Coincidentally,
She met the female sword immortal who inherited the Sword Path of Azure Heaven and later became the number one person under the nine heavens, during their humble beginnings.
For her, being reborn as someone with a severed lineage allowed her to enter Qingyuan Sect immediately.
They once shared a time of mutual support and unity.
That was when Ying Bing first learned swordsmanship.
“Chu Long should have also been demoted to the Eastern Wilderness.”
“She must not know who I am.”
Ying Bing unconsciously revealed a light smile.
It was then that she ascended Moon Gazing Cliff.
“Hmm?”
Seeing Ke Mo covered in beast bl**d at the cliff edge, Ying Bing paused slightly.
As expected, Ke Mo should still be in the Stream Stone Forest, especially since he might encounter peak Ninth Rank beasts later.
Even if he is at the tenth pulse of the bl**d Qi Realm, relying on perfected sword techniques, it would be absolutely impossible to resolve it easily.
Considering this route is not easy for the bl**d Qi Realm, she had specifically given Ke Mo an extra hour.
But… he actually came earlier than her?
“You finally arrived.”
Ke Mo smiled brightly, without any surprise.
It seems Ice Chunk had an easy journey, even her hairstyle remained neat.
His clothes were torn…
Well, he probably tore them himself.
“Yes, you heal first, I’ll wait for you.”
Ying Bing nodded lightly, feeling enlightened.
Ke Mo should not have engaged in battle with any beasts along the way.
Rather, he ignored them, avoiding combat, and directly ran to Moon Gazing Cliff.
“Healing?”
Li Mo was taken aback, then laughed:
“I’m not injured, this is all beast bl**d, don’t believe me?”
“Encountering two not-so-strong beasts blocking the way, and I was in a hurry, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
He took a few steps closer.
Ying Bing frowned slightly and actually touched his chest.
It really was beast bl**d.
Could it be that he didn’t encounter any trouble throughout the journey, only encountering two Ninth Rank initial stage beasts when climbing Moon Gazing Cliff?
This luck is too good.
But… this is equivalent to giving up on the trial.
Ying Bing knew that the sect’s trial rewards were not the reason he came, yet he still chose to come without hesitation…
Ying Bing looked up and saw that sunny, handsome face.
She did not see any resentment or impatience in his expression, only joy at fulfilling their agreement promptly.
As if he believed wholeheartedly that she had a reason for calling him here.
Why?
Ying Bing couldn’t quite understand this young man.
“Uh…”
Li Mo felt a bit uncomfortable.
Ice Chunk’s finger was still poking his chest.
It was cold…
“Two true disciples, am I not arriving at the right time?”
Suddenly,
An unpleasant, hoarse voice drifted over with the cold wind.
Li Mo and Ying Bing turned their heads simultaneously.
Following the path they came from, the only path to Moon Gazing Cliff, stood a black-robed figure with an iron mask, unknown when they arrived.
“I only want to settle accounts with True Disciple Li.”
“I didn’t expect to gain an unexpected reward, finding True Disciple Ying here as well.”
Speaking of Ying Bing,
The black-robed person’s voice trembled, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Whoosh—
A sharp arrow whizzed through the air.
They almost put the word ‘villain’ right in his face.
Li Mo did not waste words and called for help directly.
However, the black-robed person remained unmoved, instead mocking:
“True Disciple Li might as well use your brain—why would I appear here if I hadn’t prepared thoroughly?”
“Ying Bing, Ying Bing, I really don’t want you to be against him as a pair of soulmates sharing the same fate, as long as you…”
Ding-ding—
Two bell chimes rang.
Li Mo expressionlessly shook the twin bells.
“Li Mo!”
Instantly, the black-robed person’s voice changed.
If masks could be seen through, one would see the mask’s face change dramatically, breaking into a sweat.
He knew exactly who the bell would summon!
“You deserve to d*e!”
Vaguely, a beast roar echoed through the Qingyuan.
Only, the opponent had not yet moved.
A sword beam appeared.
The sword intent was bone-chilling, domineering and decisive, causing the hair on one’s body to stand on end.
Ying Bing threw her longsword.
The black-robed person was confident he could withstand this blow.
But he had to admit, Ying Bing’s strength far exceeded his expectations, beyond what could be described as genius.
Withstanding it, even as an Observer Realm, he would be injured.
The air froze momentarily.
The black-robed person ultimately chose to stop, dodging sideways.
And at this moment,
Ying Bing did not look at the black-robed person, but instead met Li Mo’s gaze.
“Jump.”
Li Mo seemed to realize what she intended to do.
Ying Bing suddenly felt she understood this young man less and less.
This is the unfathomable Qingyuan.
Why does he not show even the slightest fear?
Or is it because of his… trust in her?
“Alright.”
Ying Bing has never been indecisive.
Li Mo agreed.
Though she could not comprehend his thoughts,
she pulled that hand without hesitation, taking a step into the void.
The cold wind instantly turned icy.
Everything around them rapidly blurred.
All senses dulled…
“You!!”
On Moon Gazing Cliff, the black-robed person rushed forward, his black robe torn apart.
From above, he stared blankly at the young couple tightly holding hands, disappearing into the mist.
In his eyes, only disbelief remained.
