The road is vague

Chapter 367 The Faceless True Man
"Your cultivation method is truly unique, possessing such divine sense and tranquility. No wonder you have made such a great name for yourself in the Thousand Treasures Islands and are considered a member of the organization."

As soon as the stunningly beautiful woman opened her mouth, Li Mo felt a sweet and refreshing sensation, like a minty kick in his head.

As the lady slowly rose from the futon, two bluish-purple ribbons rose into the air, swirling around Xie Baiyu's arms. Her long, black hair seemed weightless as it flowed, and her slender, beautiful legs were faintly visible through her light gauze dress. Her feet were three inches off the ground, floating in the air, exuding an air of dignity and nobility as she looked down at Li Mo.

Li Mo was taken aback at first, then his expression turned serious.

Although he could not confirm the other party's specific realm, since the Multiverse Chaos Thunder Path had been initially embedded in the order of heaven and earth and followed the path of cultivation, he was more sensitive to the general trend of heaven and earth than cultivators who constantly accumulated magic power to break through realms. Therefore, he was able to vaguely sense that the other party had already developed a sense of heaven and earth.

This means that the other party is likely only one step away from the Nascent Soul realm, which suggests that the legend of the other party escaping from the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Longevity Dynasty is not unfounded.

Being able to survive in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator, regardless of the method, means that one can be considered a true top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Li Mo quickly composed himself, lowered his gaze, bowed respectfully, and dared not meet his eyes again.

"I have inadvertently exposed the Survival Society's operations in the Thousand Pearl Islands ahead of schedule. Please forgive me, senior."

"There's a sequence to events, and it's because our investigation wasn't thorough enough. It's not your fault. I heard you plan to cross the Forbidden Sea to reach the Central Plains?"

Hearing the other party say this, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and felt less awkward.

He remained with his head bowed and eyes downcast, his gaze fixed only on the other person's white feet.

“Indeed, I have heard since childhood that humans are the most revered race on the Central Continent. As long as one has spiritual roots, one can cultivate freely without worrying about the oppression of gods or the invasion of external gods. There are also inexhaustible spiritual pills to improve one's cultivation. I would like to see this for myself…”

Li Mo mimicked the tone of the Golden Turtle Master from back then.

Aurora Goddess sighed softly.

"Another dreamer. I can assure you that the Middle-earth is not the perfect holy land you imagine. If you want to cross the Forbidden Sea with just passion, you will only end up dead. Considering your extraordinary talent, I advise you to at least find a way to build a solar ship."

"Sun boat?"

Li Mo was stunned; he had never heard of the so-called solar ship.

"The so-called Sun Ship can be understood as a ship that shines forever, requiring a large amount of fire elemental energy materials to build. It can effectively prevent you from getting lost, sinking, and perishing in the Forbidden Sea, and help you reach the other side. The ethereal races on the other side will use their Sun Palace to accumulate enough Sun Ships to cross the Forbidden Sea every hundred years, but these Sun Ships can only maintain their spirituality for sixty years. Do not attempt to fly on the Forbidden Sea, as there are endless spatial rifts there, as if they are trying to sever the entire Lost Continent..."

This matter has even involved the Sun Palace.

Li Mo had long heard of the dangers of the Forbidden Sea; once one is plunged into darkness, one will mysteriously disappear.

The fact that even a small island drifting from the Forbidden Sea can cause a cannibalistic island disaster that terrifies everyone in the waters near the Lost Continent is a testament to this.

"Please, senior, show me the way out!"

"come in."

As the Aurora Mystic Maiden spoke, a Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a silver mask entered from outside the door.

"President."

Aurora Mystic Maiden looked at Li Mo and said, "This is the Faceless Fellow Daoist in charge of organizing operations in Xinian City. You can follow him to Xinian City. Only that dream city, which gathers demons and monsters, is keen on gladiatorial entertainment, and is where the holy sons and holy daughters of the various Blood Dragon tribes compete, and is the secondary capital of the Wansui Dynasty, can help you realize your dream."

It really is Xi Nian City.

Li Mo immediately turned around and clasped his hands in greeting.

"My name is Li Mo, and I pay my respects to Senior Wuqian."

Upon hearing this, the Faceless Immortal frowned and turned to look at the Aurora Mystic Maiden.

"President, this person is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. The arena needs a trump card of the God of War. Isn't this task too much for him?"

“Fellow Daoist Wumian, I know you have your eye on that cultivator from the Central Plains who just came from overseas, but I can tell you definitively that this young friend Li is more suitable for this mission than that person.”

Li Mo looked helpless when he heard this.

He realized that he was being rejected by the other party, who wanted He Ku to cooperate with him to become the ace of some arena, instead of him.

"OK then."

The Faceless True Man responded helplessly.

After a while.

Li Mo followed the Faceless Immortal to the Well of Wonderful Dharma.

This was the only window to the outside world, and Li Mo then realized that they were actually inside the Aurora Mystic Maiden's natal magic treasure.

The well water shimmered, dreamlike, and rippled gently.

The Faceless Immortal took out a spirit pill, swallowed one himself, and then gave one to Li Mo. The pill exuded a strong bloody aura.

"This is the Blood Shell Pill, a secret technique passed down within the organization. Once refined, it can maintain the aura of a Blood Dragon Clan member's body for a month, saving you a lot of trouble."

Say it.

The Faceless Immortal began to refine himself in front of the Well of Wonderful Dharma.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo first activated his spiritual eye to carefully distinguish the medicinal properties. After confirming the medicinal components, he then swallowed it and began to refine it.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he and the Faceless Immortal transformed into human-bodied dragon-headed figures, their bodies covered in blood-red scales, looking incredibly ferocious.

But this is just an outer shell maintained by the elixir.

"Senior, I have a question. Since there are such elixirs for survival, why didn't you bring some with you when you went to the Thousand Treasures Islands to save yourself the trouble?"

"Refining this pill requires the Misty Pill of the Misty Blood Dragon Clan at the Nascent Soul level. Even the organization doesn't have many in reserve. Moreover, the surrounding sea area is mostly the territory of demon beasts, gods, and dragon kings. Transforming into the Blood Dragon Clan would actually attract more attention."

After Li Mo realized what was happening, he followed the Faceless Immortal and jumped into the Wonderful Dharma Well.

After a brief period of dizziness...

Plop!
Li Mo found himself in the vast ocean. He quickly flew up, dried himself with his spiritual light, and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense. He discovered the Faceless True Man several miles away and hurriedly flew over to him.

"senior."

"Okay, come with me."

The faceless immortal led the way, remaining indifferent as if he lacked confidence in Li Mo. Left with no other choice, Li Mo had to take the initiative to inquire about his mission and plans.

"Senior, how can I obtain the Sun Ship?"

"Our organization has been operating in Xinian City for hundreds of years, so we naturally have secret channels to help you get things done. Every few years, we receive a dreamer like you. However, building a solar ship is extremely expensive. You need to complete our mission before we can finalize the deal."

Li Mo smiled slightly when he heard this.

"I am quite wealthy, but I wonder how many spirit stones it would take to build a solar ship?"

Upon hearing this, the Faceless Immortal chuckled, seemingly mocking Li Mo's overestimation of his abilities.

"To forge a solar ship, you need at least 30,000 spirit stones."

He had expected that the enormous sum would shock Li Mo into silence, but to his surprise, Li Mo chuckled and looked relieved.

"I can afford to pay 30,000 spirit stones."

Now it was Faceless True Man's turn to freeze. Looking at Li Mo's calm and confident expression, which didn't seem like he was lying, he became furious on the spot after a brief silence.

"If that's the case, why didn't you explain it clearly to the president just now!"

Li Mo's eyes darted around, and he quickly tried to make amends.

"However, besides the Sun Ship, I have other matters I wish to entrust to the organization to handle. How about I use this as a condition to continue following you to Xinian City to complete the mission?"

"Humph!"

The Faceless Immortal snorted coldly and said indifferently, "What do you need me to do for you?"

"It's like this, I need some lightning-attribute magic treasures. They don't need to be of high quality, but the quantity can't be small, at least... five pieces."

"Five magic treasures, even the cheapest, no-name ones, would cost no less than ten thousand spirit stones each. You really dare to say that? You've got at most two!"

"Three things, senior, I will do my best to complete them!"

Upon hearing this, the Faceless Immortal was so angry that he burst into laughter.

Looking at Li Mo's bargaining expression and seeing his confidence in himself, his original annoyance vanished, and he couldn't help but show a bit of curiosity.

"Aren't you going to ask me first what my mission is?"

"Please enlighten me, senior."

The faceless immortal stood with his hands behind his back, and his figure flashed across the sea with Li Mo's.

"Within the secondary capital of Xinian City, there are over a hundred arenas of varying sizes. Every ten years, ten high-level arenas are selected through a competition. Aside from the substantial profits that come with becoming a high-level arena, the key point is that these arenas can indirectly influence the birth of Blood Dragon Saints. The organization has been secretly operating the Fearless Arena for many years. Your first step is to become one of the five aces of the arena, then represent the Fearless Arena in the competition for a high-level arena, and finally influence the Saints of the nearby major Blood Dragon tribes."

At this point, the Faceless True Man turned to look at Li Mo.

"As gladiators, regardless of race, we cannot use magical artifacts or weapons; we can only rely on physical magic and innate supernatural abilities. We humans have lost our magical artifacts, and our strength is far inferior to that of various demonic beasts and the myriad races of the same level. Do you think you can complete this task?"

"I can!"

Li Mo responded immediately.

"Hahahaha! It seems I underestimated you before. Since that's the case, it's a deal. If you complete this mission, I will do as you said and find three lightning-attribute magic treasures for you. Then we can trade spirit stones for the Sun Ship!"

Li Mo didn't mention the Thousand-Faced Bird Feather or the clues about the Sun Corner.

The true demonic clone on Misty Peak will soon emerge from the fruit.

He planned to first adapt to life in Xinian City, collect materials such as demon cores, spirit wood, and demon beasts, and then look for relevant clues after his true demon avatar completed its transformation.

"As for the issue of spirit stones, I can also try to refine a few Yin Virtue Pills to sell."

Many years ago, he learned at an auction on Xuanwu Island that Yin De Pills were of great help to the advancement of various demonic beasts and were quite valuable. Now he could try to exchange them for spirit stones.
