In front of Li Mo's house was a delivery truck called Divine Wind Express. The workers carefully moved boxes after boxes of valuables into the living room.
"Be careful, handle with care. If you break even one of them, you'll go bankrupt!"
The worker leader shouted from time to time, keeping the workers on their toes.
There were more than a hundred boxes, and it took the workers three hours to move them all.
"What are these?"
An Yuxin was shocked to see the mountain of boxes in the living room.
"Antiques."
These boxes were filled with precious antiques from different eras, but the ones with the least age were all from before the Tang Dynasty.
Li Mo spent a billion to buy these antiques for Yu Boyan and Zhang Jingshen.
In his past life, Li Mo was obsessed with antiques. But in this life, it was just a 'hobby'. He wasn't interested in collecting. He bought these antiques for another reason.
More than a hundred antiques were taken out of the boxes, filling the living room.
An Yuxin took out the vacuum and went to the second floor to clean up after Li Mo.
Li Mo took out the Staff of Origin and started testing the antiques one by one.
This morning, Li Mo used the heaven, earth, and man coins to do a divination. The divination was the best, everything was good, and everything was good.
Li Mo wouldn't have used the Staff of Origin if it wasn't for the auspicious divination.
Li Mo picked up one antique after another. When he reached the 11th, a luminous cup, the cup shone brightly. The Staff of Origin shone as well, reflecting the light of the two.
Tong ~
A time-space rupture opened in front of Li Mo and the luminous cup turned dark.
Using the Staff of Origin's power on perfectly preserved antiques had a certain chance of opening the time-space rupture of the antique's era. It was no different from finding a time-space rupture.
This was the reason Li Mo collected so many antiques.
The Staff of Origin was humanity's ancestral artifact. Its origin power traced the source!
Li Mo's body refining was in its final stage. He knew the method, but the materials were hard to find. The materials he needed were nearly impossible to find in the real world. Therefore, going to the ancient time-space rupture was the best choice.
Li Mo put the cup down and entered the time-space rupture.
Not long after, An Yuxin came back with the vacuum. She wasn't an expert and couldn't see the time-space rupture. Even when she walked through it, it didn't cause any disturbance.
An Yuxin was used to Li Mo coming and going without a trace. She put the vacuum away and started sorting the antiques in the living room.
Entering the time-space rupture, Li Mo entered a cellar no more than five meters long and wide.
This cellar was the entirety of this world. No one could enter from the outside, and no one could leave from here.
Li Mo circled the cellar a few times but found nothing but a dozen jars of wine.
Li Mo put the jugs of wine away and left.
Mo!
Just as Li Mo returned to the real world, the time-space rupture behind him vanished.
An Yuxin was sitting on the sofa, humming Ye Xiaolu's song, Angel in the Clouds. Li Mo's sudden appearance made her blush and she stopped singing.
Li Mo's sudden appearance made her blush and she stopped singing. Li Mo smiled, "You sang well."
"Don't make fun of me. Ye Xiaolu's song is the best."
"I'm not making fun of you. Your voice is ethereal and has a special charm to it. Ye Xiaolu's original was empty."
Li Mo walked to the coffee table and pulled the drawer open. The dalmatian plushie glared at him as if ready to bite.
Ye Xiaolu was angry. She was a proud person to begin with. How could she not be angry when Li Mo criticized her like this?
"You can go into singing in the future."
"Really?
My singing is good? "An Yuxin was overjoyed.
"Of course."
The dalmatian plushie wanted to come out, but it couldn't budge. She was the core of the array. Unless Li Mo took her out, she couldn't move a muscle.
Li Mo chuckled and closed the drawer. He saw the helplessness in the dalmatian plushie's eyes.
'Must be wrong.'
Li Mo thought.
With the Staff of Origin, Li Mo picked up one antique after another, experimenting.
The time-space rupture he just created was so small that it didn't consume much of the Staff of Origin's power.
Li Mo tried 21 antiques in a row and on the 22nd one, the antique lit up.
The antique was a bronze sword that had been preserved fairly well.
Hum ~
The time-space rupture opened again. But this time, not only did the bronze sword lose its light, even the Staff of Origin lost its luster.
Li Mo stepped inside.
Wu wu wu wu wu —
In the dark of the night, a cold wind blew. Li Mo stood before a tomb and looked around.
This world was much bigger than the cellar world. This tomb must be the core of this world. There was also a mountain behind it.
Li Mo used the Celestial Eye and Earth Ear to listen.
This place was full of spiritual energy, like a natural paradise. It was definitely not an ordinary place.
But this spiritual qi …
It was yin spiritual qi!
Yang qi nurtured the spirit, yin qi nurtured the demon. This tomb was filled with demon qi, the best place for a demon to cultivate.
'Where's the demon?'
Li Mo turned his Earth Ear to the max, hearing even a blade of grass in a ten li radius.
'No demon nearby?'
The time-space rupture world was a memory of time and space, a reflection of history. It wasn't a complete world to begin with, so any situation was normal.
"Ha-ha-ha ~"
Just when Li Mo was sure there was no demon here, a wicked wind came from afar. That wicked wind carried an enchanting laughter, seductive and captivating.
Li Mo understood.
The wicked wind came from ten li away. Li Mo's Earth Ear was only at the entry level. He could hear everything within ten li, but nothing beyond that.
Ten miles away from this world was the edge of this world.
The demonic wind flew straight in their direction, circled above the tomb once, and then swooped down.
"Let me go, let me go! I have parents and children to take care of. Please let me go!"
A cry for help came from the black wicked wind. It came from a soldier-like man, struggling and screaming.
Li Mo saw that the soldier-like man was armed to the teeth, but he had no weapon.
It wasn't that he didn't have one, but his weapon was the bronze sword that resonated with the Staff of Origin.
"You want me to let you go? It's simple. Play with us sisters and make us happy. Then we will let you go, ha-ha …"
