Lin Mo thought something bad in his heart. Just when he was about to speak, the old earth-blood monster had already rushed ahead and said: "What a small favor, you can just say it. We Lin Mo are a newcomer with great potential, so we just take this opportunity to practice."
The man in blood robe smiled proudly, stretched out his hand and took out a jade pendant and threw it to Lin Mo: "Just hand over this jade pendant to a person named 'Wuxian'."
"No phase?" Lin Mo was confused.
"Yes, he has been lurking in Taoyuan recently. As long as you hand it over to him personally, the matter will be over." The man in blood robe turned and left, and quickly disappeared outside the main hall door.
"Peach Blossom Realm? It's a dangerous place, and it would have taken several years in the past." Lin Mo frowned.
"It doesn't matter, you can go without worries." Liuzu said, "I just want to take this opportunity to practice. I will arrange for someone to lead the way."
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, and finally took the jade pendant: "Then I'll leave now."
Soon, Lin Mo embarked on the long road to the Taoyuan Realm.
A few days later, Lin Mo came to a deep mountain. A small wooden house could be vaguely seen in the distance, and an old man stood in front of the door, fertilizing and watering the flowers.
"Are you Wuxiang?" Lin Mo stepped forward and asked. The old man looked up at him, with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Exactly."
Lin Mo handed the jade pendant to him: "On the order of the old monster with earth blood, I pass this thing to you."
The old man took the jade pendant, but did not leave. Instead, he looked Lin Mo up and down: "I didn't expect that Earth Blood would send you, a newcomer. Isn't your identity simple?"
Lin Mo's heart trembled, but his face was calm: "I'm just here on orders."
"Oh? In that case, do you know the purpose of this jade pendant?" the old man suddenly asked.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Haha, it seems they really treat you as an outsider. This jade pendant is actually the fuse of my long-lost Yitian Sword." The old man narrowed his eyes, "Now I finally found the clue again!"
Lin Mo was shocked. He realized that he might have become a pawn in this fight for the Yitian Sword.
While the two were talking, Liuzu and the Earth-blood old monster suddenly appeared outside the door of the hut!
"Wuxiang, we received a tip that you have stolen the whereabouts of the Yitian Sword. Hand it over quickly!" the Earth-blood old monster shouted.
Lin Mo was thinking quickly in his mind. He realized that he was involved in a whirlpool that he could not escape from!
"Are you here to snatch the whereabouts of the Yitian Sword?" Lin Mo asked coldly.
"Haha, we are just here to complete a transaction." Liuzu said with a smile, "Old Wuxiang, you and I are half old friends at least, so please hand over the whereabouts of the Yitian Sword. We will naturally thank you very much."
"Deal? I never agreed." Wu Xiang snorted, "You just want to use me to seize the Yitian Sword as a weapon for your demon clan. How can I be willing to do it?"
"Then don't blame us for being ruthless!" the earth-blood old monster shouted. The three people suddenly burst out with powerful skills, and the entire cabin suddenly shook like a stormy sea.
"Old man, for my sake, don't show off." Liuzu said, "This is for your own good."
"Thank you, but I have no reason to hand over the sword." Wuxiang remained calm.
The three of them were in a stalemate. At this time, a cold female voice sounded: "Everyone, please stop."
Lin Mo turned around following the sound and saw Yuan Yao walking out of the woods behind the hut, looking calm.
"Hey, aren't these the marshal's people?" The old earth-blood monster sneered, "Why, you want to get involved in this matter too?"
"I was just passing by and didn't want to get involved." Yuan Yao said lightly.
Liuzu muttered, "In that case, we can't force it." After saying that, he raised his hand to stop the old Earth Blood monster, "Old Wuxiang, please think about it slowly, and we can discuss it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the hut, Yuan Yao and Lin Mo looked at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Old Man Wuxiang, I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between you and me." Lin Mo said.
Wu Xiang shook his head and said: "There was no misunderstanding, I was just used by them. I didn't expect that the old earth-blood monster would put so much effort into me."
Lin Mo frowned: "Who is the so-called Yitian Sword? Can it make the Earth-Blooded Old Monster and the others so fearful?"
"This..." Wuxiang narrowed his eyes, "Actually, it originally belonged to the evil dragon tribe in ancient times."
"Evil Dragon Clan?" Lin Mo was surprised. He had heard about the origin of the Evil Dragon Clan at Xue Du, but he had never heard of this name.
"Yes, the Evil Dragon Clan was an extraordinary race that once kept pace with the Ancient God Clan." Wu Xiang slowly said, "Later, for some unknown reason, they were wiped out by the Evil God Lei Clan. The Yitian Sword is one of the relics they left behind."
Lin Mojing listened and thought to himself. He realized that the history of the spiritual world was far broader and more complicated than he knew. And the secret of the evil-fighting divine thunder seemed to be beyond his imagination.
"That's why you care about this family heirloom?" Lin Mo asked.
"Not entirely." Wu Xiang shook his head, "Actually, the Yitian Sword is of no use to me, but it has a mysterious text engraved on it. I have been studying what it means."
"Mysterious text?" Lin Mo's heart moved.
"Yes, I can recognize some of the handwriting, which seems to be describing the entrance to a secret realm." Wu Xiang said.
Lin Mo and Yuan Yao looked at each other and saw interest in each other's eyes.
"Old man, can you tell us the content of that text?" Lin Mo asked.
Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "This matter is of great importance, and I need to think about it again. But now you and I are destined, and opportunities will come in the future."
Lin Mo looked at the sky and nodded gently: "Then it's not convenient for us to stay for a long time. We'll meet again when we have the chance."
"Go, go. Just don't let those guys take advantage of you anymore." Wu Xiang waved his hand.
Lin Mo and Yuan Yao exited the cabin and walked into the deep forest. Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and their hearts were full of suspicion and expectation about the secrets of Yitian Sword and the Evil Dragon Clan.
The shadow of the wooden city on the top of the mountain can be vaguely seen ahead, and that is where the demon kings gather.
Lin Mo and Yuan Yao arrived at the wooden city on the top of the mountain, and saw Mu Qing standing in front of the city gate to greet them.
"Lin Mo, is the mission completed?" Mu Qing asked.
"Completed." Lin Mo nodded.
"Very good." Mu Qing said with satisfaction, "I still have something to ask for."
"Speaking."
"I want you to learn to master the method of driving the evil-dispelling divine thunder within two years, in exchange for the protection of the ghost woman." Mu Qing said lightly.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "In only two years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control the full power of the evil-dispelling divine thunder. Can I learn it later?"
"No!" Mu Qing frowned, "My asylum is only for two years! When the ghost woman returns in two years, I won't be able to help you."
Lin Mo was silent for a moment and finally agreed: "In that case, I will do my best."
"Very good, I will arrange for Sister Lan to guide your practice." Mu Qing smiled lightly, turned and left.
Lin Mo looked at Mu Qing's back and secretly clenched his fists. This sudden request doubled the pressure instantly. He must master this excellent skill within two years to have the capital to protect himself.
"It seems that the situation is much more complicated than we imagined." Yuan Yao said quietly from the side.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, a firm light flashing in his eyes.
Yuan Yao approached with a smile. The aura on her body revealed a special power that made people feel awe.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Lin Mo looked at Yuan Yao, "I guess you are not an ordinary person."
Yuan Yao smiled slightly and did not deny it.
Lin Mo looked her up and down, then suddenly looked at the hem of her clothes and said softly: "With the word 'Yuan', are you the legendary Tianxiang Yuanyao, the right-hand man of the ghost woman?"
"Do you recognize me?" Yuan Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Lin Mo nodded, with an inexplicable curiosity in his heart. Yuan Yao continued to explain: "The word 'Yuan' represents a special identity. I am a member of the Yuanshen clan. We are good at mastering the power of nature and can control it without anyone noticing.
everything."
Lin Mo listened with rapt attention. He began to understand the special identity of Yuan Yao and why she could perform her tricks on him inadvertently. The existence of the Yuanshen clan made the whole situation more complicated, and he seemed to be no longer a simple person.
A chess piece in the world of the Demon King.
There was a hint of mystery in Yuan Yao's smile: "The truth of this world is often hidden in unknown corners. Lin Mo, are you willing to explore these secrets together?" Her words were full of guidance, as if carrying a message.
A deeper purpose.
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, his curiosity about the unknown world surged in his heart. Yuan Yao's identity was revealed, making him feel that he was being led into an even greater adventure.
"It's just a guess." Lin Mo explained, "But since you have a special status, I think you must have something special about you."
"Don't underestimate yourself." Yuan Yao smiled faintly, "If you can be protected by Mu Qing, you must be very good at dispelling thunder."
Lin Mo shook his head and said: "I'm still exploring, and I'm still far from Dacheng."
"But you will succeed in the end." Yuan Yao said, "I have never seen any demon king who can easily control the power of thunder, but you can do it. This shows that you are different."
Lin Mo pondered and looked at the surging dark clouds in the distance. Perhaps only by truly integrating into the thunder and lightning can he touch the mystery of that power. He secretly speculated.
At this moment, a storm is brewing on the not-too-distant horizon.
Lin Mo came to an open space in the valley and was alone.
In the secret room of the Wood Immortal Valley, Lin Mo stared at the golden thunder ball in his hand, feeling the powerful power contained in it. This thunder ball was created by him through the method of driving thunder, and it was his perfect control over the power of divine thunder.
He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and roared. Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sky, and a golden thunder dragon emerged from the dark clouds and headed straight for Lin Mo.
"Take shape!" Lin Mo put his palms together, and the thunder dragon was caught in his palms, and soon turned into a golden thunder ball, floating quietly on it.
Lin Mo stared at the ball of thunder and vaguely felt the violent thunder power surging and churning in it, possessing a will like a living creature.
"If I could control your power, I would be able to conquer mountains and rivers with great power and shock the demon world!" Lin Mo murmured to himself.
At this time, there was a burst of sparse applause behind him. Lin Mo looked back and saw Yuan Yao stepping out of the tree shadow with a smile on his face: "Yes, although the thunder ball is not powerful enough, with your current magic power,
It will become a great thing in the future."
Lin Mo sighed softly, gathered his thoughts, and stared at the sky again.
In the distance, a storm is approaching here. The lightning is faintly surging deep in the dark clouds, and it is about to explode.
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with determination and expectation. He knew that the key to understanding the secrets of thunder and lightning lay in it. He would definitely go further and further on this long road of cultivation!
Lin Mo came to the Mujing Cave designated by Mu Qing, and saw that the entrance of the cave was hidden in a hill with towering green ancient trees. He took a familiar route to the top of the mountain, pressed the switch at the root of a giant tree, and the ground suddenly opened, revealing a cave entrance.
Lin Mo jumped in and felt that his whole body was surrounded by a faint woody scent. In front of him was an emerald green passage, with hazy light coming from the end of the passage.
Lin Mo's heart moved and he quickly walked into the passage. After turning a few turns, a secret room appeared in front of him. There were towering ancient trees and green vines everywhere, full of aura.
"I didn't expect Mu Qing to hide such subtleties in this mountain." Lin Mo sighed softly. At this time, he vaguely heard footsteps behind him. When he looked back, Mu Qing was walking through the passage.
The wood spirit energy here condenses into an emerald-green mist that fills the air, making people feel as if they have entered a fairyland. In the secret room, there is a flat stone platform suitable for practice.
"How about it? Do you like the aura here?" Mu Qing smiled slightly.
"Wonderful!" Lin Mo praised, "If you practice here, the results will be extraordinary!"
"That's right. I have placed a ban here, so you can retreat in peace." Mu Qing said lightly, "Remember not to leave this place without permission."
Mu Qing smiled and added: "Practice the wood attribute skills here, and the effect will be even better. Practice well, this is very important for your future growth."
After speaking, she flashed and quickly disappeared into the passage.
Lin Mo looked around, with mixed feelings in his heart. These two years of training will determine his fate.
Lin Mo sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and thought hard. Suddenly, a past event passed through his mind——
It was in the ice and snow of the mortal world, a woman in black with a towering heart suddenly fell from the sky and saved him from the verge of death. That was Tianxiang Yuanyao.
In order to save herself, she was willing to destroy the golden elixir. The tenderness revealed in her tenacity still moves Lin Mo to this day.
Now that time has passed, I can't be sure of my sincerity towards her. Lin Mo smiled bitterly. In the past few years, he never mentioned the past with Yuan Yao. And she didn't mention it at all, as if she had already let go.
I wonder if she still has old feelings when she comes to the demon world this time? Lin Mo asked himself.
He shook his head violently to get rid of the thought. Now that he had a heavy responsibility, he could no longer involve his old relationship.
So Lin Mo concentrated his energy and sank into meditation. This retreat lasted for a whole month.
Under the moonlight, Lin Mo opened his eyes, and there was no trace of the past in his eyes. He had decided to treat Yuan Yao as another person and concentrate on the path of cultivation in front of him.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged and meditated, his consciousness gradually sinking into silence. Suddenly, a silly smile appeared on his face.
