The road is vague

Chapter 494 Day and Night
After He Ku left, Li Mo looked at his retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Behind this 'Why bother' thing, is it an organization, some kind of entity that I can't understand, or some forgotten memory?"

Li Mo's understanding of the Ling Kingdom in the southern part of the mainland was limited to various documents.

Regardless, the operation went so smoothly that there was really no need for him to create any further complications.

"It's getting dark soon. This place is not like the surface. It will be very dangerous at night. Let's leave tomorrow."

The vampire demon nodded.

"it is good."

The underground world also has what is called day and night.

However, a full day here takes about two hundred hours, equivalent to more than half a month on Earth, and the nights are accompanied by dangers unimaginable to creatures in the surface world.

Next, Li Mo and the Vampire Demon each sat on a simple chair, looking at the artificial sun in the sky, quietly waiting for time to pass.

The light of the artificial sun is merely a secular manifestation of the order of this treasure.

At this moment.

After calming down, Li Mo observed through his eyes of reason. He did not sense the essence of the sun and moon needed for the cultivation of the demon beast. Instead, it emitted an ancient, sublime, and boundless power of order that constantly stimulated the essence of the bloodline. Even the Three Elements Chaos Thunder Dao was as insignificant as sand in the face of this order.

Just as Li Mo was becoming more and more engrossed in the moment, the sound of panting beside him startled him slightly.

He was also wary of the Thousand Streams Saintess's desperate measures.

After all, he could imagine that if the Empress refused the proposal, she would forcibly kill the Holy Maiden of Thousand Streams, the envoy who had sought help, putting the other party in a dilemma. Now that the Holy Maiden of Thousand Streams' request for help had failed, it was hard to judge whether she would take the risk and try to kill Li Mo, the envoy of the Great Qian Dynasty, causing a shock in the Qian Kingdom and forcing the Underworld to participate in the war.

When Li Mo turned his head to look at the Bloodsucking Demon, he saw that the old demon, who had originally just been resting, had actually activated his bloodline spiritual light while lying on the chair and had started cultivating involuntarily.

At the same time, his breathing became more rapid, revealing an undisguised excitement.

"this?"

Li Mo could vaguely sense that this artificial sun seemed to have a special enhancement for the Vampire Demon's cultivation.

Now, as Li Mo's cultivation level and his understanding of order continue to improve, he can vaguely perceive that a cultivator's cultivation, in addition to personal opportunities and insights, is also closely related to the source of order in the great forces of heaven and earth.

For example, his practice of the "Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas" requires one to comprehend the dual cultivation of body and mind within the realm of mountains and seas.

The techniques of the Undying Mountain can be better understood at the Corner of Chaos.

This artificial sun in the underground world seems to have a special blessing on those with exceptional bloodlines, which led the old vampire demon to unconsciously begin his cultivation.

A few hours later.

As the artificial sun in the sky gradually dimmed, the vampire lord reopened his eyes.

With a low shout, the spiritual light of his bloodline collapsed between his hands, condensing into a blood-red crystal. The surrounding air rippled slightly before gradually returning to calm.

"It's done. This so-called power of the Sunborn actually originates from the same source as the lineage pursued by the Extreme Cultivation Society..."

The old vampire murmured in a barely audible voice.

Then he noticed that Li Mo was silently looking at him, staring at the blood essence in his hand.

"interesting."

Li Mo stared at the blood essence in the vampire old demon's hand and spoke like this. To the vampire old demon's astonishment, a lightning crystal floated out from his body, reflecting the blood essence.

Wherever the two passed, space distorted slightly, exuding a pressure that made it difficult for lower-level creatures to breathe, but for Nascent Soul cultivators, it had a strange attraction, like a mini sun.

"you……"

The old vampire looked at Lei Jing, speechless.

After comparing the two briefly, Li Mo said thoughtfully, "According to the ancient texts, this is a means of expressing order that all cultivators in ancient times mastered. It is also the lowest level of currency in the transactions of various worlds, similar to copper coins in the secular world. Low-level cultivators could use it to threaten high-level beings to a certain extent. However, in this era of Dharma decline, this method of condensing order that all ancient cultivators knew has actually become a superior secret technique."

At this point, Li Mo shook his head and gave a self-deprecating smile, then looked at the Vampire Demon.

"Why don't we make a deal here and comprehend each other's lineage and order?"

Li Mo's suggestion immediately caught the eye of the Bloodsucking Demon. After all, Li Mo was known as the Lord of Chaos Thunder. By comprehending the essence of order, one could not only perceive the characteristics of order but also indirectly sense the level of order comprehension.

The two then exchanged their essences of order on the spot.

When the blood-red crystal, the size of a fingernail, fell into Li Mo's hand, he almost instantly saw the long evolutionary path that the endless sea of ​​insects had undergone after devouring all kinds of alien creatures. Countless spiral-shaped forces of order were constantly being released outward from the crystal.

Compared to the gradually fading artificial sun, this crystal was like a firefly and a bright moon.

"The Daoist order of the Bloodline Extreme Cultivator is actually modeled after the Gu Immortals of the Mother Nest World. The long evolutionary path formed by the Gu Immortals through constantly devouring powerful beings from other worlds has actually been forged into a Conquest Ladder by the Bloodline Extreme Cultivator, imprinted in the body of every Bloodline Extreme Cultivator. By constantly climbing the Conquest Ladder, they can complete the path of devouring and evolution that the Gu Immortals took millions of years to complete..."

At this moment, Li Mo held the Blood Essence, as if he were seeing a ladder to heaven. On each step, there remained a powerful creature that was like a milestone. These were all powerful beings devoured by the ancient Gu Immortals of the Mother Nest Realm, which had a profound impact on the evolution of their descendants and were passed down from generation to generation. They were then stolen by the human bloodline cultivators and became the targets for their cultivation and transcendence.

"So, for bloodline cultivators, the most important thing is to continuously devour bloodlines, absorb the power of the inner life essence, and make themselves stronger so as to surpass the goals on these levels?"

In other words.

The reason why the Holy Maiden of Thousand Streams was not recognized by the descendants of the Sun was purely because of her weakness. She was simply not able to be recorded in the history of the evolution of Gu Immortals and could not become a landmark powerhouse.

the other side.

After obtaining Li Mo's lightning crystal, the Vampire Demon, like Li Mo, immediately began to comprehend it.

While this kind of insight won't be consumed as quickly as in a battle, it will gradually dissipate and eventually be completely exhausted.

The old vampire seemed to have seen the origin of the Mountain and Sea Realm, where all living beings are human-centered, and saw the miserable screams of countless creatures from other worlds under the tribulation of lightning. With each increase in the heavenly lightning, the demons and monsters stuck in the Mountain and Sea Realm would suffer three more times on their path to advancement.

"Wait, what's that?!"

The old vampire suddenly noticed that a more sublime aura was being released from the depths of this lightning crystal.

With just a fleeting glimpse, the Vampire Demon felt as if he were seeing the gears and chains that govern the workings of the universe; it was clearly an aura of heaven-reaching power.

Immediately, he felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

Li Mo's voice made the old vampire turn his head with difficulty, only then did he realize the huge gap between the two sides.

As long as this person doesn't die, he will probably have a chance to reach the Divine Transformation stage within a hundred years!

"No...it's okay."

As the sky darkened completely and night fell, the once peaceful underground mushroom city began to undergo strange changes.

After gaining initial insight, both Li Mo and the Vampire Demon temporarily withdrew their respective essences of order.

Something resembling seaweed kept growing from the ground, drifting wildly into the sky and occasionally emitting wisps of black smoke. It had a strong hallucinogenic effect, but for the Gu Immortals of the underground world, it was similar to the spiritual energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Meanwhile, the original artificial sun has turned into a huge, illusory void, which seems to be the moon of the underground world.

Li Mo saw countless phantoms drifting and flying towards the moon, which seemed like a huge, illusory, and empty void.

"The underground world has now completely broken away from the Mountain and Sea Realm in some respects. We have become invaders of this world. We must not disturb their shared dream, otherwise the damage we suffer in the dream will be transformed into reality by this world."

This was the special advice Li Mo received before he came.

Every world has a different fundamental order, which is commonplace for the creatures living within that world, but for creatures from other worlds, it is like heaven and earth, and they find it difficult to truly understand and adapt.

It is hard to imagine that the underground world, or the Mother Nest realm, is formed by the combination of two bizarre states.

One is real: countless powerful creatures that were devoured are etched into the bloodlines of the insects in the form of marks.

One is an illusion, a dream world constructed by countless low-level insects, in which Gu Immortals, composed of countless tiny insects, gradually emerge.

Sudden.

Li Mo, who was looking up at the sky, was looking in a certain direction.

The vampire demon reacted immediately, releasing his bloodline spiritual light to imprison a human-faced snake in mid-air.

next moment.

The human-faced snake twisted and pierced through the bloodline spiritual light, but ignored the vampire demon and went straight for Li Mo.

Just as the human-faced snake was less than ten feet away from Li Mo, a sublime and majestic aura surged out.

Immediately afterwards, the human-faced snake seemed to be frozen in mid-air, its soul stiffened, and its eyes lost their color, leaving only monotonous black and white.

Since mastering the Three Elements Chaos Thunder Dao, Li Mo's control over the Heavenly Power has clearly surpassed that of the past.

Using the power of the Heavenly Realm to stiffen the human-faced snake, another human-faced snake floated out from Li Mo's sleeve and gently bit the stiff snake. By the time it broke free from the suppression of the power of the Heavenly Realm, it was already too late.

The newcomer was none other than the natal Gu of the Holy Maiden of Thousand Streams.

The human-faced snake writhed in agony on the ground, staring intently at Li Mo, yet unable to utter a word.

"A futile resistance, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The destruction of Miao territory is already destined. The bigwigs above have already made their deals. You and I are no longer important."

The human-faced snake struggled a few times before dying. The vampire demon, unwilling to waste it, immediately refined and absorbed it with his bloodline spiritual light, integrating it into his own spiritual light.
