"You are?"
Li Mo asked cautiously as he held the fainted child in his arms.
"I … am a weapon spirit.
You can call me Lingxiao. "
The mountainous being's voice was old and weak. It spoke as it moved towards Li Mo.
"Weapon spirit?"
Muttering, Li Mo's eyes lit up.
"Ling Firmament Mountain is a weapon?"
"Correct. Ling Firmament Mountain is a pseudo imperial weapon."
The mountain-like weapon spirit, Lingxiao, nodded his head and replied.
"Part of the array protecting Ling Firmament Mountain is the pseudo imperial weapon's array, while the rest is from the base of Ling Firmament Mountain.
This Quasi-emperor weapon, Ling Xiao Mountain, was also the core of the entire Nine Li Grand Formation.
The Nine Li Array is different from other arrays. It has a core, four array eyes, and countless array flags.
Only Jiuli Tribe's elder knows of this. No elder has the right to know. "
"Then why are you telling me?"
Li Mo asked.
"Because … the world is in chaos!
Ling Firmament Mountain is about to come out! "
As he spoke, a majestic aura emanated from the weapon spirit, Lingxiao.
It was an aura of 'who can contend against me'!
Like a sword hidden in its scabbard for tens of thousands of years, unsheathed.
Its edge will stir the nine heavens, letting the world know that I, Lingxiao, have returned!
"You mean you want to take me as your master?" Li Mo asked.
The weapon spirit Lingxiao rolled his eyes at Li Mo.
"I am a pseudo imperial weapon spirit. If you want to be my master, you will have to pass the test.
Do you think it's that easy to be my master? "
Lingxiao's eyes seemed to say, 'Why do I love you so much that I want to take you as my master?'
Li Mo felt embarrassed seeing Lingxiao's eyes.
But he still had many questions. "Ling Firmament Mountain is Jiuli ancestor's weapon, right?
Wasn't Jiuli ancestor the same cultivation as the Yu ancestor?
How could a Celestial God refine a pseudo imperial weapon? "
Refining was the same as cultivating. Without enough power, one couldn't refine a divine weapon.
Li Mo knew that the Yu ancestor was above the Celestial Immortal stage, the peak of the Celestial God stage.
Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or this life, this was the most powerful realm publicly recognized by the universe.
Heavenly God Realm, God King Realm, Quasi Emperor Realm, Great Emperor Realm.
How could a Heavenly God Realm expert refine a Quasi-emperor treasure?
Giving Li Mo a serious look, Lingxiao smiled.
"Kid, you're pretty knowledgeable. But, do you really think that Yu Ancestor is only a peak-level Heavenly God?"
"Oh?
Did Yu Ancestor … "
"That's right!
Yu Ancestor and my master are both divine kings.
Otherwise, how could he become a general of the Heavenly Court!
In the past, the Heavenly Court ruled over half of the universe and had many experts. Do you think it's so easy to be a general of the Heavenly Court?
Furthermore, the Heavenly Court had countless resources.
In addition, the Heavenly Court had so many Heavenly Kings and Imperial Emperors.
It won't be difficult to help my master refine a pseudo-Emperor weapon that's one level higher. "
"So, the Yu Ancestor should also have a Quasi-Emperor Weapon?"
Li Mo was speechless. Just how strong was he to be called an emperor?
Li Mo was a quasi Emperor in his past life.
A quasi-Emperor had the word 'Emperor' in it, and the weapon of a quasi-Emperor was similarly extraordinary.
"Yes, the Yu Ancestor's gauntlet is also a pseudo-Emperor weapon.
In the past, the Yu Ancestor and that weapon wanted to scheme against master and take Ling Firmament Mountain.
In the end, he fought with master for a day and night until neither could endure the other.
That old geezer has been struggling at death's door all these years. In order not to waste his life force, he doesn't even dare to move.
His cultivation has also fallen to peak Heavenly God due to the corrosion of time.
But if that old geezer fights to the death, he can temporarily recover to the God King stage. "
Lingxiao nodded and explained to Li Mo.
Lingxiao could be considered an old geezer who lived through Jiuli's era. He knew a lot more than Li Mo.
"Is this what they have?
No wonder the Gu race dared to set up the fake Heavenly Court. "
Li Mo muttered, feeling the pressure.
But it was good that he understood Lingxiao's meaning.
That old geezer, the Yu Ancestor, didn't dare to show himself, nor did he dare to fight to the death.
Given how he cherished his life, he wouldn't be alive if he fought to the death.
"I've said all that needs to be said. Are you going to take the test and become the current master of Ling Firmament Mountain?"
Lingxiao asked about Li Mo's performance outside.
Lingxiao took it all in.
For him to risk his life for a Jiuli child, not only did he have talent, but he also had the qualifications to take the test.
Just this temperament alone was enough to qualify him to participate in the assessment.
Moreover, Lingxiao had his eyes on Li Mo's talent for letting him in.
Entering the late Earth immortal stage in his twenties? Which faction in the Nine States had such a genius?
"How long will it take?"
Li Mo asked with a frown.
With the war at hand, Li Mo didn't want to waste too much time to take the test.
As for the pseudo-emperor weapon, the Yu Ancestor might covet it.
But Li Mo, with the Staff of Origin in his hand, was dispensable to Ling Firmament Mountain.
Of course, the Staff of Origin was incomplete.
And Li Mo's cultivation wasn't high enough to use the Staff of Origin's power. He couldn't even wake up the sleeping item spirit.
But if Li Mo was given time to grow, with the Staff of Origin, who would be able to contend for supremacy?
"This …"
The item spirit Lingxiao stroked his chin like a human.
He frowned and said after a moment of thought.
"It all depends on your luck. You don't have enough opportunities.
You won't be able to complete the test in a lifetime. "
"F * ck!"
With Li Mo's current cultivation, he had a thousand years of life.
Li Mo didn't want to spend the rest of his life here. Li Mo waved his hand.
"Forget it. Send us out."
"Out?"
Lingxiao was furious, "This is master's weapon, your ancestor Jiuli's weapon!
And a pseudo-emperor weapon!
Any other expert would've been overjoyed to hear they had the right to take the test.
They would've been overjoyed to inherit the pseudo-emperor weapon.
"If not for the Jiuli tribe's war, I wouldn't have come out.
Now you're the one getting the better of me and you're looking down on me? "
As a Quasi-emperor weapon, Lingxiao was naturally furious that he had been rejected.
"You know the Jiuli tribe is about to go to war.
I have to get back and join the war. Where will I find the time for your test? "
Li Mo shrugged helplessly.
"No!"
With that, Lingxiao turned away from Li Mo.
At this moment, Lingxiao was like a stubborn child. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to.
He was the one who brought Li Mo in anyway. As long as he didn't agree, Li Mo would never leave!
"Master decreed that Jiuli tribesmen can only leave after passing the test.
I have no right to let you out. "
The item spirit's loyalty was unquestionable, even if Jiuli was long gone.
But Lingxiao still had to abide by Jiuli's will.
Even if Lingxiao Mountain would have a new master, in Lingxiao's heart, the second master would never fall short of the first.
The second generation master would never be inferior to the first generation master, because his birth was the result of the first generation master.
"Fine, fine. You keep letting me take the test.
Can't you at least tell me what it's about? "
Li Mo answered helplessly, gnashing his teeth as he watched Spirit Xiao's back.
If not for the fact that he couldn't beat this pseudo-emperor weapon spirit, Lingxiao, Li Mo would've torn him apart a long time ago.
'F * ck, you dare throw a tantrum at me!'
