Chapter 13: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
A small waterhole in the sea of karmic fire lies quietly in the center of the karmic fire, there is no water in the waterhole, only a completely red liquid, and the waterhole maintains its lifeless silence in the karmic fire.
The eternal silence was broken, and a figure leapt out of the water and landed lightly on the shore.
Ling Mo looked at his body with satisfaction, although it was still scorched black after coming out of the pool, at least it was not as serious as it was at the beginning, not only because his body had adapted to some karmic fire to a certain extent, but also because his body had exceeded the original by a large margin, almost a leap.
It's the eighth time, Ling Mo has already soaked in the waterhole eight times!
As the number of times Ling Mo soaked in the waterhole increased, he persisted in the waterhole for longer and longer, and the time of the half-pillar incense at the beginning was soaked in the waterhole for half a day at the end, the pain in it was unimaginable, and the benefits that Ling Mo got were also unimaginable.
Ling Mo moved, the outside of his body was still the same, the muscles under the white skin were not particularly conspicuous, but they contained amazing strength.
Ling Mo put his fingers together and stabbed at a piece of bluestone beside him, snort!
Like a knife cutting tofu, his fingers easily sank into the bluestone, Ling Mo smiled with satisfaction, this time he didn't use his spiritual power at all, he just did it with his pure physical body.
Not only in terms of physical body, Ling Mo's Yuan Shen has also been greatly improved, and now his Yuan Shen strength is only one line away from the mortal realm, and it seems that there is only a thin film behind.
Not many people would believe this kind of thing, but this is the case, and it can only be said that Ling Mo's talent in the Yuan Shen is too perverted, although a simple elixir and something like that will improve a person's Yuan Shen strength, but after all, it is just the assistance of foreign objects, and how far he can go depends on himself.
Ling Mo was not anxious about the thin film between the power of the Yuan Shen and the mortal realm, the gap seemed to be not big, but there was always a gap between the Xuan realm and the mortal realm, at this time, Ling Mo was more inclined to go with the flow, the more deliberate he was, the more he fell behind.
With the continuous tempering, the medicinal power of the dormant karmic fire lotus seed in Ling Mo's body was constantly being used, but there was still thirty percent of the medicinal power left. Ling Mo didn't want to squeeze out the medicinal power of the karmic fire lotus seeds at one time, in the crisis-ridden Cave Continent, this thirty percent of the medicinal power might be life-saving.
"Although karma is good, it's a pity that I can only do this," Ling Mo said helplessly.
Through the defense of the White Bone Ring, Ling Mo felt that tempering his body eight times was the limit, it was not that his body could not hold it, but that the effectiveness of the karmic fire was no longer enough to greatly improve Ling Mo.
The White Bone Ring was not under Ling Mo's control now, and he also knew that if he let go of his defense a little, he would be wiped out in an instant, no matter how he looked at it, this crazy body refining behavior could finally come to an end.
This time, before coming up, Ling Mo deliberately dived under the waterhole to take a look, the height of the black liquid had obviously dropped a lot, and Ling Mo also clearly felt that the dark power coming out of the black liquid was also much weaker.
Ling Mo estimated that it had been almost three days since he entered the karmic fire, and in these three days, the dark power at the bottom of the waterhole quickly subsided, and he was killed by the karmic fire, and it was estimated that the disgusting power would completely disappear after a while.
Because of the changes in the waterhole, Ling Mo had a guess about the karmic fire red lotus and the karmic fire that it generated, maybe the karmic fire red lotus that had appeared in the past was rooted in the land of extreme yin!
The land of extreme yin gives birth to things that are yang, and perhaps it also implies the principle that yin and yang are born together.
It is very likely that the karmic fire was created to target these extremely evil things, and it is precisely because of this that the secret of the karmic fire red lotus has not been discovered.
If the guess is correct, the karmic fire will disappear when the evil forces at the bottom of the pool are completely destroyed. It's just that Ling Mo doesn't have time to witness this happening, he can't waste his time here.
Glancing at the surprisingly calm waterhole on the outside, Ling Mo knew it was time for him to go out.
Out of the small valley, Ling Mo walked straight out of the sea of karmic fire.
After observing the boundary of the karmic fire for a while, Ling Mo strode out of the range of the sea of karmic fire without noticing anyone around, and after three days, Ling Mo finally saw the light of day again.
It is estimated that the deterrent power of karma is too strong, and there are no animals to be seen outside of karma, and of course, Ling Mo has not seen anyone else, which is good news.
After walking a few hundred steps, Ling Mo found a surprise, a corpse.
Of course, Ling Mo didn't have any interest in corpses, his target was the corpse's clothes. When he was in the karmic fire, Ling Mo's clothes turned into ashes, and Ling Mo could only walk out of the sea of karmic fire naked. If you're worried about clothes, there will be people who give clothes.
This corpse is a young man who looks like he is only in his twenties, and he is not the kind of strong man who has the ability to rejuvenate his face, he is a real young man, and it is estimated that he is a loose cultivator. He had a narrow wound on his neck, which was his fatal wound, and it was because of this that his clothes remained largely intact and clean.
Changing into clothes with peace of mind, Ling Mo was quite satisfied, because he was already tall, and he couldn't see any discomfort when he wore this clothes.
Without delaying time, Ling Mo quickly swept in a certain direction, he wanted to find the others, after all, one of his most important purposes was to leave the Cave Continent through the ships of these people.
Ling Mo didn't know that just a few breaths after he left, the corpse that he had stripped off his clothes quickly sank like the earth, leaving no trace.
There is a saying in the world that the road is narrow, Ling Mo really hates this sentence now, what are you afraid of, Ling Mo stopped again not long after leaving the sea of karmic fire, just because two people suddenly appeared in front of him who blocked his way, Bian Lingxi and the old man in black, Gu Duzhong.
"What a coincidence, we met again!" Ling Mo said with a strange expression.
Bian Lingxi was honest, "The old man said that you died, but I didn't believe it, but we stayed here for three days for you, and you really didn't disappoint me!"
Hearing this, Ling Mo sneered: "Wait for me, you are waiting for the karmic fire lotus seed, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"
Gu Duzhong, who had always played the image of a loyal old servant, suddenly spoke: "You are the first Tongxuan Realm monk I have ever seen who came out of the karmic fire alive, little one, my interest in you is getting bigger and bigger. ”
Hearing Gu Duzhong's words, Ling Mo frowned, although he knew that it was not a good thing for this old guy to be interested in him, he still had nothing to do. The difference in strength is here, even if Ling Mo tempered his cultivation eight times to the peak of the fifth order of Tongxuan, his strength is even more incomparable, and he still has no chance of winning in the face of Gu Duzhong.
"Ancient, don't delay any longer, we're already a lot behind the others, take him!"
"Willing to help"
Gu Duzhong suddenly made a move, his body shot towards Ling Mo, the distance of more than ten zhang was instantly narrowed, and his right hand grabbed Ling Mo's neck in the shape of a claw.
The speed of Gu Duzhong made Ling Mo frightened, and at the critical moment, Ling Mo used the phantom eye to capture Gu Duzhong's figure, although it was unsatisfactory, it still achieved some results.
Ling Mo didn't dodge, he just stood in place, clenched his fists and slammed forward.
Peng!
The fists and claws intersected, and Ling Mo flew out upside down without any suspense, but he relied on this power to suddenly accelerate and rush in the direction he came.
"Huh?"
Gu Duzhong unexpectedly glanced at his palm, which was a little numb, he never thought that Ling Mo had a punch with him, and Gu Duzhong was even more interested in Ling Mo.
Ling Mo escaped hundreds of zhang in the blink of an eye, but Gu Duzhong didn't care at all, this distance was only a stone's throw away from him, if he let a little guy who had passed through the Xuan Realm escape from his hands, he would really have no face.
Gu Duzhong stepped on it, as if thunder exploded, and the earth shook. Gu Duzhong stepped to Ling Mo's side in just a few steps, and Ling Mo felt like thousands of troops had come to his side, pressing on him with monstrous momentum.
Ling Mo pointed at Gu Duzhong like a knife, and before he hit Gu Duizhong, he was as weak as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
Gu Duzhong smiled, and a huge net suddenly appeared in front of him, the giant net was completely composed of runes, and as soon as the giant net appeared, it covered Ling Mo, enveloping him in an instant.
The giant net only stayed on Ling Mo's body for a moment and then disappeared, Ling Mo was not a little happy, he clearly felt that all those runes had entered his body.
Ling Mo ran Xuan Gong to repel these runes, at this time, his body glowed, and some runes were expelled from his body, but there were still most of them that could not be removed, Ling Mo knew that if these runes were not cleared, it would be a big trouble, this was not something that Gu Dui could compare to leaving a divine thought on his body.
Sure enough, Gu Du smiled heavily and recited an inexplicable language, Ling Mo felt that the power in his body was rapidly draining, Ling Mo looked at his body in surprise, and only then did he find that it was the runes left in his body that were imprisoned. Although his own Yuan Shen was also affected, perhaps because the Yuan Shen was stronger than his own cultivation too much, and there were not many restrictions on it, it was estimated that Gu Duzhong would never have imagined that Ling Mo, a cultivator of the fifth order of the Xuan Dynasty, would have almost reached the Yuan God of the mortal realm.
Gu Du looked at the runes and smiled, letting out his divine thoughts and sweeping towards Ling Mo. Ling Mo suddenly had a feeling that he was completely seen through, and his secrets were completely revealed in front of others.
However, Gu Duzhong still overestimated himself, and Ling Mo also knew that although Gu Duzhong was a powerhouse in the Heavenly Machine Realm, compared to him, his cultivation was too poor for the real secrets in Ling Mo's body.
The White Bone Ring was hidden on Ling Mo's body without a trace, and when Gu Dui's heavy mind swept over it, he actually ignored it, and Ling Mo couldn't help but be more interested in the White Bone Ring!
"Hmph!" Gu Duzhong suddenly snorted coldly, "Boy, where did you get the karmic fire lotus seed?!"
"Of course I ate it, otherwise I can come out alive from the karmic fire?"
Gu Duzhong's face became even more gloomy, but he didn't doubt Ling Mo's words, he did feel the breath of the karmic fire lotus seed on Ling Mo's body, but he also felt that this was the result of being taken. Although he was very disappointed, Gu Duzhong really had no way to deal with what had already been absorbed by Ling Mo.
When the divine thoughts swept to Ling Mo's Purple Mansion, Gu Duzhong was obviously hindered, and Gu Duzhong didn't take this obstacle into his eyes at first, wanting to violently break through Ling Mo's Purple Mansion.
The Purple Mansion is the place where the Yuan Shen is stored, and once the Purple Mansion is opened to a person, all the secrets will be exposed to him, and there will be no secrets at all. Being forcefully broken through the Purple Mansion will cause irreparable damage to a person's primordial spirit, Gu Dusk values the way of nature, but he doesn't care!
Knowing what Gu Dui was important to do, Ling Mo's eyes became more and more cold, but he didn't resist at all, not only because it was useless to resist, but also because his Purple Mansion was not something that could be touched by a Heavenly Machine Realm, and he couldn't wait to see what would happen to Gu Dui.
Gu Du reused the power of the Yuan Shen to evolve a divine needle to stab Ling Mo Purple Mansion, unexpectedly, the obstructive force disappeared, and the Yuan Shen Divine Needle successfully entered Ling Mo Purple Mansion, but there was no news like a mud cow entering the sea.
Gu Duzhong could no longer feel that wisp of divine thought, and Ling Mo evoked a mocking smile.
Gu Dui reappeared with obvious murderous intent, and said in a cold voice, "Boy, what did you do?!"
"Want to know?" Ling Mo didn't care about Gu Duzhong's killing machine at all, "Go in and try it again!"
Gu Dui retracted his qi with an expressionless face, lifted Ling Mo and returned to Bian Lingxi's side and threw Ling Mo aside casually.
Ling Mo twisted his body and landed steadily on the ground before landing, watching Gu Duzhong and Bian Lingxi whispering on the side, and found a stone to sit down without care.
After whispering to Gu Duzhong for a while, Bian Lingxi frowned and turned around and said: "Those runes are in your body, you can't get them, if you don't want to die, learn how to be a servant honestly, otherwise you will know that those runes are not just as simple as imprisoning your body." Saying Bian Lingxi's prominent ancient words, Ling Mo immediately sensed that the power that had been restrained instantly returned to his body, and those runes were still quietly dormant.
Ling Mo frowned, hearing Bian Lingxi say this, he noticed that each of those runes had a hidden dead qi, but it was hidden very deeply, and it would not be discovered easily, and if it broke out at the same time, few people would be able to stop it.
Because of those runes, Ling Mo's current combat power is less than the third order of Tongxuan, but the Yuan Shen is still the same, from the very beginning, Ling Mo has checked his entire body, and there are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven runes distributed throughout his body. Ling Mo scrolled most of the demigods towards the rune closest to the Purple Mansion, the primordial god was as weak as autumn water, and he was wrapped in the rune without alarming him, and then some of them slowly began to erode and refine, and some blocked the fluctuations of the runes from being harmed. Sensing this situation, Ling Mo knew that these runes couldn't trap him, but he needed time now.
Bian Lingxi looked to the southwest and said, "Ancient, it's time to hit the road." ”
Gu Du nodded emphatically and continued to play the role of a loyal old servant, Ling Mo followed with a cold face, and the three of them quickly swept towards the southwest.
Neither Gu Duzhong nor Bian Lingxi noticed the sneer that Ling Mo had before leaving, the first rune had been successfully refined!
