Beating Yuchi Qingyun back wasn't the end of it. He took advantage of the few dozen youths' momentary pause.
Li Mo used the Five Qi Unification and split into five!
With Warp, Li Mo's speed soared.
Everyone felt like five long swords were flying towards the people around them.
"Pff!
Ah! "
Clang!
"…"
For a time, the surroundings were filled with crisp sounds of collisions and screams.
In three breaths, the five Li Mo's had dozens of late Golden Core youths sprawled on the ground, howling in pain.
"We're both Sword Intents, but how can your Sword Intents compare to mine?"
Li Mo stood proudly in the center, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. The sword in his hand was unstoppable, like a blade!
There might be a lot of people here, but Li Mo's aura was overwhelming.
No one dared to even breathe.
Yuchi Qingyun's sword intent was formed from everyone's understanding of sword intent. It wasn't his own, so how could he use it so easily?
Not to mention Li Mo who had comprehended sword intent for hundreds of years in his past life, even a brat who had just comprehended sword intent could beat Yuchi Qingyun's sword intent.
"Concede the bet?"
Li Mo walked over to Yuchi Qingyun and asked in a mocking tone.
Yuchi Qingyun stared at Li Mo and wiped the blood from his mouth.
Yuchi Qingyun then threw the ten storage rings to Li Mo.
This was their bet. If Yuchi Qingyun lost, he would give the storage rings to Li Mo and if Li Mo lost, he would give the sword to Yuchi Qingyun.
Moreover, they didn't even have the strength to fight right now. If Yuchi Qingyun reneged on his debt,
The Elder Council wouldn't say a thing even if Li Mo's sword drilled a few holes in Yuchi Qingyun's body.
The Elder Council's rule was that no one could kill or cripple a person's cultivation in a private duel.
"At least you know what's good for you."
Li Mo grinned with the storage rings in hand.
Li Mo turned to the onlookers and spoke in a loud voice.
"Alright, you can all disperse."
With that, Li Mo and the other three left under everyone's awestruck gazes.
Li Mo's victory would earn him a high reputation among the Elder Council's envoys.
But they all knew Li Mo had thoroughly offended the Mountains and Rivers Alliance.
Thus, while they were in awe of Li Mo, none of them took the initiative to chat with him.
No one wanted to suffer an undeserved calamity.
Don't forget that the Mountains and Rivers Alliance didn't just have these Golden Core envoys.
There were also a lot of deacons at the Nascent Soul Realm, although those deacons couldn't attack the envoys.
But once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm and become a deacon, will those people let you go?
Li Mo knew what they were thinking. That was why Long Qing and the rest were still by his side.
Li Mo asked with a smile.
"Walking so close to me, aren't you afraid of the people from Mountains and Rivers Alliance?"
Although many of the villages in the Mountains and Rivers Alliance were not as good as the Coiling Dragon Mountain Village of the three people in front of them, they were still able to enter the Elders Guild.
The stronghold behind them was also dispensable. Some people stayed in the Elders Association for the rest of their lives and never returned to the stronghold.
What can the stronghold behind you do to him?
Even when they are deacons of the Elders Guild, your mountain stronghold still has to be polite to them. You even dare to settle accounts with them?
Long Qing grinned from ear to ear at Li Mo's words.
"We Coiling Dragon Mountain Stronghold keep a low profile, but we're never afraid of trouble.
Moreover, when have I, Long Qing, ever been afraid of anything? "
"Ha-ha-ha!
You're right with me! "
Li Mo laughed, as if he regretted not having met earlier.
Following that, the few of them roasted some prey that Long Qing had hunted a few days ago in his cave abode. After drinking some good wine, everyone became much closer to each other.
Especially the immature Long Fei and Yu Yu. Their admiration for the strong hadn't faded yet.
The two saw Li Mo's shocking power today, especially his outstanding sword art that defeated dozens of late Golden Core Stage experts.
That was why Yu Long and Long Fei worshipped Li Mo, calling him big bro.
After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Li Mo wandered back to his cave with Long Qing's token in hand.
After activating the protective formation, he fell asleep.
While Li Mo and the rest were enjoying themselves, the Mountains and Rivers Alliance's higher-ups spoke.
Yuchi Qingyun was expelled from the Mountains and Rivers Alliance and Li Mo offended them.
When Li Mo entered the Nascent Soul Stage, the higher-ups of the Mountains and Rivers Alliance would come to see him.
Although Yuchi Qingyun was the deputy leader of the Mountains and Rivers League, her position in the league wasn't as high as one might imagine.
After all, Yuchi Qingyun's strength was only at the perfected Golden Core realm. The true higher-ups of the Mountains and Rivers Alliance knew that they could not interfere in the affairs of the council of elders.
In order to better control the Mountains and Rivers Alliance's envoys, they had to give him the position of vice-leader.
And with this position, it would be easier for the Golden Core Stage envoys to accept missions in the Hall of Missions.
After all, the deacons of the Hall of Missions had to give face to the Mountains and Rivers Alliance.
However, the person they had raised up was actually a piece of trash. Therefore, the people of the Mountains and Rivers Alliance appointed someone else as the deputy leader and kicked out Yuchi Qingyun, who had lost all face.
Li Mo was oblivious to the Mountains and Rivers Alliance's actions and threats.
Of course, even if Li Mo knew, he wouldn't care.
Once he entered the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Mo wanted to meet the leviathan known as the Mountains and Rivers Alliance.
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Mo's cave was filled with clanking sounds. The temperature inside was frighteningly high.
Li Mo was surrounded by a blazing cauldron, hammering the sword in his hand with a small hammer.
Li Mo used the Thousand Hammer Refining Method to put all sorts of refining ores into the sword. The silver-white sword slowly took on a deep hue.
The ores were like stars, shining on the sword.
Paired with the deep hue of the sword, it was like a starry sky.
The sharpness of the entire sword became even more tyrannical.
At last, after half a day, the clear sound faded.
The profound treasured sword was like the starry sky, sharp and powerful.
"Starry Sky, I'll call you Starry Sky Sword from now on."
Li Mo said with satisfaction as he looked at the evolved sword in his hand.
But Li Mo knew a magical weapon couldn't gain sentience.
So when Li Mo spoke to it, it couldn't hear.
But if Li Mo got his hands on some good refining ores, he could make the Starry Sky Sword evolve and gain sentience.
Putting away the Starry Sky Sword and cauldron, Li Mo activated the cave's defensive array and left.
Li Mo couldn't help but mutter as he walked.
"It's time to study that World Painting."
Li Mo sensed that this World Painting was a very powerful magic tool.
So Li Mo never forgot about it. And second elder Dongfang Yibai also got his hands on it.
With so many years of research, he was sure to have more experience than Li Mo.
So Li Mo wanted to learn from him. Plus, Dongfang Yibai woke him up yesterday and Li Mo still hadn't thanked him.
Arriving at the library, Li Mo bowed and announced his name. The library's door opened.
Entering the library, Dongfang Yibai did not paint as usual.
Instead, he was using a feather duster to clean the bookshelves, watching Dongfang Yibai's serious movements.
Li Mo chuckled as he approached Dongfang Yibai.
"Why is second elder personally cleaning the bookshelves? Don't you have any deacons working here?"
Just like the Hall of Missions, there were many deacons. Envoys working there was also a type of mission.
Not to mention they got a lot of rewards from the Hall of Missions every month. So Li Mo figured the library, which was on the same level as the Hall of Missions, should also have such people.
"They're so careless, it's annoying to look at them.
That's why I sent them away. "
Dongfang Yibai said as he cleaned the bookshelves.
Li Mo copied Dongfang Yibai's actions and picked up a feather duster on a cabinet near the wall to clean.
Dongfang Yibai didn't stop him from cleaning the jade slips.
"What brings you here?"
Dongfang Yibai seemed tired as he went to his table covered in paper.
He poured a cup of tea and said.
"He-he, junior is here to see second elder."
Li Mo chuckled.
"Cut it out. You've been in Lingxiao Mountain for almost two months.
Aside from picking a cultivation method and being carried here on someone's back, you've never come to the library on your own. "
Dongfang Yibai rolled his eyes at Li Mo.
Li Mo snickered and wrinkled his nose.
Li Mo sat next to Dongfang Yibai.
"Second elder, junior is here to ask about the One Painting One World."
"I'm guessing that's why you're here."
Dongfang Yibai explained it to Li Mo.
"To tell you the truth, I still haven't refined this One Painting One World.
But over the years, I've grasped its essence. "
"Oh?" Li Mo's interest was piqued.
"One Painting One World, as the name suggests.
A painting is a world. When you fight, you can draw your opponent into your painting.
Of course, this also depends on your own strength and the level of the painting you refined.
Otherwise, what would happen if a Golden Core brat was drawn into an Earth Immortal's painting one world?
Of course, even if such a powerhouse entered your painting one world, you wouldn't be able to control him with your level. "
Dongfang Yibai rolled his eyes at Li Mo.
"That's true." Li Mo nodded, seeking knowledge.
Ignoring Li Mo's expression, Dongfang Yibai continued.
"This requires three things. The first is to comprehend the Painting Dao.
If you can't, your One Painting One World will be safe even if you draw your opponent into your painting.
The second is refining. I've read many cultivation methods in the library and have a deep understanding of refining.
But I'm lacking the last bit, which is why I can't refine One Painting One World … "
Dongfang Yibai's tone was filled with deep regret.
