“Three investment feedbacks at once?”
Little Li was surprised and excited.
This reward taken from Ice Chunk’s body not only seemed of high quality but also in satisfying quantity.
For a moment.
Li Mo found himself a bit overwhelmed.
Indeed, it was still the jade legs of Ice Chunk that provided the reward.
He must give Ice Chunk some proper rewards.
“Let’s look at them one by one.”
Li Mo directed his gaze towards the first reward.
【Gilt Heavenly Scroll Seal】: “Can enhance any martial art below the level of Divine Skill to a higher grade.”
“Even the grade of Divine Skill can be enhanced?”
Little Li was astonished, having never seen such a thing before.
To be honest, he had only heard about Divine Skills.
One should know that the Qingyuan Sect has a long history, and its founding ancestor came from Central China. The highest martial arts within were merely Esoteric Skills.
Mastering a middle-grade martial art to perfection could make one a strong figure in the Ziyang Mansion.
Mastery of an upper-grade martial art could lead to establishing a sect.
Yes.
Now, as long as Little Li’s realm matches up, relying solely on the Fire Crane Thousand Feathers Sword Technique, he could be considered a well-known and recognized expert in one mansion.
Regarding Divine Skills…
Li Mo only knew from storytellers that a century ago, there was a powerful figure named Qianxing Wuzun in Central China who brought a Divine Skill to the Eastern Wilderness.
At that time, countless outsiders descended, and even sects like Qingyuan had no chance to get involved.
Even the Da Yu Sky Patrol had to personally intervene.
In the end, no one knew who ended up with that Divine Skill.
In his understanding, Divine Skills were the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Above Divine Skills?
That completely exceeded Li Mo’s imagination.
“What a pity I don’t have a Divine Skill now; I’ll save this for later.”
Li Mo was thrilled, feeling like a poor man suddenly finding a box of gold bars.
The gold bars were nice, but he couldn’t use them immediately.
His current highest martial art was just an Esoteric Skill.
Enhancing an Esoteric Skill with the Gilt Heavenly Scroll Seal would be wasteful.
“There should be something in the Heavenly Scroll Seal that can upgrade Esoteric Skills.”
“At that time, I can upgrade the Esoteric Skill to a Divine Skill…”
“And ‘just a Divine Skill,’ Ice Chunk might burst it out for me at any time.”
Little Li felt at ease.
Having read so many novels in his previous life, even if he hadn’t eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Li Mo turned his attention to the next reward.
【World Seed】: “A small world in its nascent state, currently in a chaotic state, will gradually grow and become more complete as the host’s strength increases. It may eventually evolve into a true great world!”
A great world!
Just those words were enough to show its value.
Li Mo was truly stunned this time.
No, they had just started practicing martial arts.
The standards now were already approaching the level of Pangu creating the universe.
The World Seed would grow stronger with him.
And as the small world grew stronger, it would also nourish him.
Ultimately, the world is me.
In his world, the concept of strength and weakness was no longer important.
He is the sky, he is the master, with just a thought, he can overturn the heavens and change the stars.
“The vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also began with a World Seed.”
“Is it naturally expanding, or is it growing attached to someone?”
Li Mo’s mind wandered, generating associations.
Well, this was beyond his current scope of inquiry.
In his perception, his small world was not even a seedling yet.
“Claim it.”
As soon as Li Mo thought it, the surroundings changed like ripples on water.
In a daze, he saw countless colors surging, combining, and transforming in myriad ways.
In an instant, all the colors vanished, leaving only boundless emptiness.
When he regained his senses, he found himself standing in a pure white space.
All around were endless white mist.
The space beneath his feet, which had been opened up, was only the size of a basketball court, smaller than the Qiushui Pavilion.
But this space belonged entirely to him.
“Sword come!”
Li Mo’s expression turned solemn as he casually beckoned.
Suddenly, a divine sword flew over, exuding a fierce aura.
He was dressed in white like snow, appearing truly like a peerless swordsman.
Suddenly, he shouted:
“Sword opens the celestial gate!”
Instantly, boundless sword energy surged forth, sweeping across the heavens and earth.
Hmm…
If we ignore the fact that the “heavens and earth” here were only about ten yards wide, this sword strike was quite impressive.
“Being a swordsman is really cool.”
“If I could do this outside, it would be perfect.”
Little Li sighed.
His sword talent hadn’t changed, but it was just a performance; this world was cooperating with his act…
“This place feels too empty.”
“A little decoration would help.”
Li Mo became interested in tidying up his personal space.
…
Ten minutes later.
Little Ke transformed this place using the scenes he had accumulated from reading novels.
The empty ground now had pavilions and buildings, making everything crystal clear and sophisticated.
Inside the pavilions and buildings were ancient wells, chessboards, incense burners, and other extraordinary items.
Ke Mo even wanted to add some exotic flowers and plants.
Unfortunately…
“I currently seem unable to create life.”
Ke Mo realized.
Even though he was the lord of this world, there were things he couldn’t do.
Like creating life.
“But I can bring life from outside into here.”
“But that life can’t be stronger than me.”
“Things created inside can’t be taken out temporarily.”
After fiddling around, Ke Mo gained a deeper understanding of the small world.
…
Deep Night.
Exiting the World Seed.
Ke Mo glanced at the moon outside.
He estimated he had been inside for about an hour, and the time outside matched closely.
Yes, currently speaking, the time flow in both worlds seemed similar.
“Oh right, there’s another feedback coming.”
Just now, he was having fun.
Ke Mo almost forgot about the last feedback.
【Illusory Glazed Mask】: “Can transform in myriad ways and block all forms of detection.”
The description was concise.
Li Mo took it directly.
It was a metal mask with a glazed appearance.
After wearing it, when he looked in the mirror, he noticed his entire aura had changed.
If he changed his clothes,
he wouldn’t recognize himself behind the mask.
For example, people often talk about aura.
But as long as he wished, wearing the mask could give others an impression of being unfathomable.
Not only could the aura change, but the mask’s appearance could as well.
Swish—
Next moment.
The Illusory Glazed Mask transformed into a dragon-headed mask.
Swish—
The dragon head turned into a lovable pig head mask.
“Voice can also change…”
As Ke Mo spoke, his voice became deep and resonant.
He nodded in satisfaction.
He collected his thoughts and began training.
…
By noon.
Just as he was preparing to eat, Ke Mo was about to break through to the eleventh meridian when guests arrived at the Qiushui Pavilion.
Elder Han He, an old acquaintance.
“Why aren’t Ke Mo and Ying Bing going to the Shenbing Peak today?”
The old man frowned as he asked Shang Wu when he entered.
“Why go to the Shenbing Peak?”
Shang Wu was comfortably lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun, absentmindedly scratching her ear.
“They are the top three in the sect trials!”
Elder Han He sounded annoyed.
Why should every inner disciple be allowed to pick weapons at the Divine Edge Cave?
Because basically, everyone who enters the inner sect can achieve decent results in the sect trials.
Thus, they would get a chance to pick weapons at the Divine Edge Cave.
Of course, as the top three, the rewards weren’t limited to that. However, the sect was busy, so some rewards hadn’t been distributed yet.
“It seems there is such a thing.”
Shang Wu tilted her head, recalling.
Elder Han He didn’t want to waste more words on her. Seeing Ying Bing and Ke Mo were present, he said,
“Come along, let’s go to the Shenbing Peak.”
“Elder Han He, I have a request,” Ying Bing suddenly spoke.
“Hmm, go ahead.”
Han He paused, turning around.
Notifying disciples about this matter didn’t require him, the peak elder.
He came personally because Ying Bing was a precious treasure of the sect.
Naturally, he had to consider her opinion.
Ying Bing said, “I’d like to delay my visit to the Divine Edge Cave for a few days.”
“Why?”
Ying Bing glanced at Ke Mo and softly said, “I feel my sword technique can still improve, and I can get better weapons then.”
“In that case… it’s not impossible.”
Han He raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised by her progress in sword skills, and then nodded,
“That’s fine, but it can only be delayed for a maximum of three days.”
“After three days, the Shenbing Peak will enter the season of the most intense fire, and no one can enter the Divine Edge Cave.”
“I understand.”
Three days.
Ying Bing was confident she could raise Ke Mo’s sword technique to a higher level.
She expected getting a fine weapon would be easy at that time.
