The road is vague

Chapter 465 Ruoyu Zhenren
"City Lord."

After the formation master exchange conference, Venerable Golden Turtle secretly visited Li Mo.

As a master of formations from the Lost Continent, he was almost entirely self-taught in formations during his time in the Thousand Treasures Islands. After encountering the formation master exchange conference in Yuan City, he regarded it as the most important event in his life.

"Hmm, how's the situation in Yan Yang City?"

"With two deputy city lords overseeing the overall situation, there are no immediate problems in the city. However, the Qingqiu Mountain and the Cangmang Grassland are in turmoil, with surrounding tribes in unrest and the human cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms becoming increasingly rampant..."

After the Golden Turtle Master recounted the situation in the Wasteland, Li Mo nodded.

"There is another matter. There are rumors in Qingqiu Mountain that the Spirit Fox Ancestor has passed away, and Elder Youlan has inherited the wisdom and experience of the Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo paused briefly in surprise before nodding.

The wasteland was not his main focus of development. No matter how things changed there, as the lord of Yanyang City, he only needed to ensure the basic stability of Yanyang City.

After the Golden Turtle Master left, Li Mo secretly visited Yan Shaoqing, the True Dissolving Master.

He established the renowned Zhishu Academy in Yuancheng. Amidst the clear and melodious reading voices of hundreds of students, Li Mo arrived at the bamboo grove in the backyard and sat opposite them on the artificial hill pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, I'm sorry to have bothered you!"

Yan Shaoqing smiled and waved his hand, then personally poured tea for Li Mo.

"Fellow Daoist Li's presence at the academy is truly an honor to our humble academy. Please!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Mo explained his purpose. When he summoned the Seven-Headed Oolong Matrix Puppet, the True Disbanded Man stood up in surprise.

"Matrix Puppet Technique!?"

Li Mo nodded, his face showing sincerity.

"This matrix puppet technique was acquired by chance and later became a disciple, not a legitimate method. I didn't think much of it before, but now this set of seven-headed black dragon matrix puppets is almost the limit of my puppetry skills, yet it is only equivalent to the peak of the late Golden Core stage. I still can't break through that shackle. I came here today hoping that you could give me some guidance and teach me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoqing immediately began to carefully disassemble and analyze the parts.

"Yes, your matrix puppetry technique is indeed unorthodox and has significant problems..."

The two then spent more than ten days having a long talk in this building.

Li Mo benefited greatly from the young champion's careful explanation and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"I will remember Fellow Daoist Yan's kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will go through fire and water for you!"

Yan Shaoqing shook his head and smiled.

He has been cultivating for over two hundred years. Although he is considered a top young scholar in the eyes of those old monsters, compared to this black dog monster, he can hardly call himself a rising star.

"With Fellow Daoist Li's words, I am content."

Li Mo thanked him again and left.

When Li Mo returned to the headquarters of the Road Guiding Division, preparing to ask Zhong Laogui for leave to return to the Lingmu Sect to study the Matrix Puppet Technique and repair Lianyi, thereby comprehending the life of puppets, Zhong Laogui coughed a few times.

"You can make some final preparations. I can still hold on for another seven or eight years without any problem. However, there is something you'd better resolve before that, otherwise it may cause you a lot of trouble in the future."

"Oh?"

Li Mo showed a hint of surprise.

Old Ghost Zhong said calmly, "After you obtained the Divine Order in the Great Northern Wilderness, you were targeted by two people. The Southern Ming True Person of the Hundred Treasures Sect is alright. I have already used a high-grade longevity pill that I don't need to appease your master's feelings. He has probably returned to his sect to go into seclusion for life and death. But the Giant Machinery True Person of the Puppet Sect... if you don't handle this well, he will probably cooperate with the First Seventh Organization in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had naturally heard about this matter through the sect's intelligence network.

There were quite a few Qian Kingdom cultivators who ventured deep into the Great Northern Wilderness back then. Besides the Four Wanderers and Feng Zhen, there were also cultivators from the Seven Eastern Gates, the Seven Western Gates, and the Six Inner Gates. However, they were all besieging other Spirit Race main cities.

Putting aside everything else, Lu Qi was also involved in this incident.

Now, the Demon Shadow Mask is almost one step away from replicating the Heavenly Treasure. With this enhancement, he has no fear even when facing ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

But the Shadow Mask is, after all, a magical artifact.

His true cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he planned to pretend he didn't know and drag it out for a few years until he advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or when the opportunity was right, to take the initiative to resolve the matter. He never expected that his master and Old Ghost Zhong would solve one of the problems for him in advance.

"I see."

Li Mo did not give a direct answer, which made Zhong Laogui frown slightly, but he did not say anything more.

He sighed and gestured for Li Mo to leave.

After Li Mo returned to Lingmu Sect, he briefly reunited with his friends in the sect. In a secret meeting, he made a decision with Danqing Zhenren Sima Fu, Yulong Zhenren Lu Qi, and Mifu Zhenren Qian Jing to launch a reform of the "True Spirit Eye" cultivation method over three Jiazi years, gradually promoting it to high-level cultivators.

He then returned to Koizumi Peak and announced his seclusion.

"Niu Wan, after I finish this seclusion, I will check your cultivation progress. You must not be lazy or play around."

"Yes!"

Niu Wan responded respectfully.

Outside of Xiaoquan Peak, he is the captain of the Enforcement Hall, but here, he is still just a greenhorn.

Inside the cave, Li Mo smiled slightly and spared no expense in setting up the Misty Domain Array, which he had refined at the Array Master Exchange Conference, to completely seal off Xiaoquan Peak.

All of a sudden.

The entire Xiaoquan Peak seemed to be inside the natal magic treasure, the Misty Box, shrouded in a ethereal order and an evil order, causing the world to turn upside down.

After confirming that no hidden individuals had infiltrated Xiaoquan Peak, Li Mo was completely relieved.

He then quietly contemplated for a moment.

"It seems that the Three Elements Chaos Thunder Path Order will most likely have to be addressed by starting with this evil order."

The Misty Box is a fusion of the Misty Order and the Evil Order. Over the years, Li Mo has gained many insights from his interactions with it. However, he is currently only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his advancement time is still short. The vast amount of magical power he needs cannot be accumulated in a short period of time.

After doing all this.

Li Mo released the money-stealing rat from his sleeve.

"Squeak, squeak." After spitting out the puppet ripples, the money-stealing rat left the cave with the silly old man.

Because of the attack from the Wood Spirit Ancestor, not only was the surface of the ripples badly damaged, exposing its internal mechanical structure, but its core power unit also suffered great damage.

Fortunately, the soul was only in a dormant state.

Li Mo pursed his lips, placed all the materials he had prepared in his storage ring in the room, and carefully organized them before activating his True Spirit Eyes.

influenced by.

A faint spiritual light appeared on Li Mo's body. No matter what he did, a shadow would appear behind him, and eight tails would be faintly revealed. This was a manifestation of him activating Su Ba's wisdom experience.

"Then... let's get started."

Having interacted with Yan Shaoqing beforehand and with the added wisdom and experience of Su Ba, Li Mo's confidence soared as he faced the riddled puppet, and he quickly busied himself inside the cave.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

After Li Mo finished his seclusion, he and Lianyi walked out of the cave together.

Standing atop Xiaoquan Peak, Li Mo stretched, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Over the past six years, his puppetry skills had improved by leaps and bounds, bringing him immense benefits.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Li, for saving me. I will repay you with all my heart in the future!"

Lianyi, having narrowly escaped death, expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Our relationship is far from ordinary, so it would be too formal to say such things."

Say it.

Li Mo waved and took a few photos of the communication talismans.

A moment later, his expression changed.

"Did something happen?"

"kindness."

After thinking for a moment, Li Mo said slowly, "You can stay here and get used to things first. If there's anything wrong, I can make some improvements. Let's go to Yuancheng together in a few days."

"it is good."

After receiving Lianyi's response, Li Mo immediately deactivated the Misty Domain Formation, summoned Niu Wan and gave him some instructions, then flew towards the Law Enforcement Hall.

Old Ghost Zhong is already summoning him back to Yuan City to inherit the position of the Director of Fate of the Road Guide.

It's estimated that his time is up to two years.

However, in order to inherit the position of the God of Destiny, in addition to the recommendation of Old Ghost Zhong and the permission of the Holy Lord Qian Yuan, he also needs to gain the trust of many commanders. This involves many entangled interests, and according to the old rules, he must complete a task that is enough to convince everyone.

"Old ghost."

After muttering to himself, Li Mo arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall and glanced at the Zhenfeng Pavilion in the distance.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

The gatekeepers, who had been somewhat listless, perked up immediately upon seeing Li Mo. They had only seen the legendary Supreme Ancestor of their sect in the portrait.

For these Qi Refining disciples, Nascent Soul cultivators were simply too far out of reach.

These Nascent Soul Grandmasters often go into seclusion for a short period of time, and who knows how many years will pass.

"kindness."

After Li Mo responded in a low voice, Ye Shoutian, who was on duty inside the door, came out of the hall and looked at Li Mo with a nervous and expectant expression.

"Uncle Li."

"Ten years have passed, how are the preparations going?"

Ye Shoutian seemed to be under some pressure and tried his best to appear confident.

"We've got ourselves into top shape. Success or failure hinges on this!"

"Very good, take the pill."

An hour later.

As Li Mo arrived at the Ye family, he released the white dragon sealed within the Misty Box, and a dragon's roar resounded throughout Qingming Mountain.

The disciples on the mountain were startled and looked towards the Five Finger Peak, which had already activated the full power of the great formation, revealing expressions of surprise.

"It seems to be heading in the direction of the Ye family!"

"Indeed, as expected of the Ye family. I don't know if it's a rare treasure that suddenly appeared, or if the hall masters have mastered their supernatural powers, but such a dragon's roar has actually been formed..."

at the same time.

After witnessing Li Mo break the seal and imprison the white-scaled dragon with his boundless spiritual light, the many disciples of the Ye family couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

A surge of inspiration coursed through the air as Sima Fu and Qian Jing gazed at each other from hundreds of feet apart.

"Junior Brother Li's spiritual power is probably no less than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. This is... truly incredible."

"Yes, this Junior Brother Li has made rapid progress. I can hardly sense his true cultivation level anymore. It seems that the power of his extraordinary treasure has reached a new level. Do you think Ye Shoutian will succeed this time?"

Sima Fu stroked his beard and sighed after a long while.

"I hope it will succeed. With Ye Shoutian's tendency to accumulate strength gradually, once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, his supernatural abilities will likely surpass ours very quickly. And with the combined strength of our sect's five Nascent Soul cultivators, if we can also refine that True Yang Cauldron, I will be completely at ease..."

Three months later.

The news that Ye Shoutian, the True Man Ruoyu, successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and became the fifth Nascent Soul cultivator of the Lingmu Sect, attracted considerable attention as his grand ceremony was officially announced.

Immediately afterwards, this Ruoyu Zhenren followed Li Mo and left Qingming Mountain together.
