One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

In Biyou Village under the cover of night, the mountain breeze rustles through the branches of the old locust trees.

Lin Mo held Lu Linglong's hand and strolled slowly along the dirt road at the edge of the village.

"The air in this village is quite good, much better than in the capital." Lu Linglong took a deep breath of the cool mountain air.

She had just finished eating, and her steps were a little languid.

"How could the air be bad in such a remote mountain forest?" Lin Mo replied casually.

Just then, Lin Mo's eyes shifted almost imperceptibly.

With his profound cultivation at the Ascension Realm, he could sense everything within a radius of several hundred meters.

He could clearly sense several auras moving rapidly from the other side of the village, heading towards the outside of the village.

Those were Qiu Rang, Zhong Xiaolong, and a few other highly talented individuals.

"What's wrong?" Lu Linglong noticed Lin Mo's slight pause and looked up to ask.

"It's nothing, Ma Xianhong just sent a few small fry out of the village on business." Lin Mo smiled casually.

His vast divine sense was like a sophisticated radar, capable of automatically filtering and blocking useless information.

Ma Xianhong sent people to capture Mei Jinfeng, a sorcerer from the Quanxing sect, so he was naturally well aware of this.

But Lin Mo didn't care at all; the life or death of the Quanxing demons was none of his business.

He wouldn't bother with other people's business as long as they didn't interfere with his money-making.

"Going out of the village so late at night, he must be up to no good." Lu Linglong curled her lips.

"Who cares about them? As long as they don't interfere with our big show tomorrow."

Lin Mo smiled slightly, completely unconcerned.

"That's true. With you here, even if the sky falls, I can use it as a blanket."

Lu Linglong said with a grin.

The two strolled around the edge of the village to digest their food, and then returned to their newly built wooden house, completely satisfied.

Lu Linglong returned to her room to wash up and rest.

Lin Mo then pushed open the door to another room, walked to the wooden bed, and sat down cross-legged.

He slowly closed his eyes, and with a slight thought, the Heavenly True Qi within his body began to circulate on its own.

This true energy, infused with the Longevity Technique, seemed to possess its own life, continuously drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth from the void.

External energy flowed into his limbs and bones through his meridians, nourishing his internal organs.

For Lin Mo, the feeling of fatigue had long since disappeared.

"Come to think of it, it seems like sleeping has been unnecessary for me for a long time now," Lin Mo muttered to himself.

He's always in peak condition; he can sleep whenever he wants, and not sleeping has no effect on him.

Lin Mo opened his eyes, stretched, and was about to lie down.

Suddenly, his hand touched a hard object in his arms.

"I almost forgot about this thing." Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a yellowed booklet.

This was one of the eight extraordinary skills that Lu Jin had given him on Longhu Mountain, the Tongtian Talisman.

I remember he also signed a contract with the old master Zhang Zhiwei, agreeing to pass on this technique to Zhang Lingyu.

How could I forget?

Lin Mo, using the moonlight streaming in through the window, turned to the first page of the booklet.

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well see what's so special about these so-called Eight Extraordinary Skills," he said, leaning against the headboard.

Lin Mo gently ran his fingertips over the rough pages, scanning line by line the text and runes.

With multiple max-level divine skills such as Nine Yang Divine Skill, Sacred Heart Technique, and Heavenly Demon Great Art at his disposal, his understanding of martial arts and Qi cultivation has already reached an unprecedented level.

Although martial arts manuals and the cultivation methods of extraordinary individuals are different, the great principles are simple and ultimately lead to the same goal.

Those complex and obscure runes were as simple and clear as a primary school student's arithmetic problem in Lin Mo's eyes.

Lin Mo finished reading the entire book in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

He closed the book, shut his eyes, and mentally reviewed all the contents of the Tongtianlu.

"I've written it all down." Lin Mo nodded.

He can now draw the talisman-drawing methods recorded in the booklet with ease.

"However, this is not the true use of the Tongtian Talisman at all." Lin Mo's lips curled into a playful smile.

He recalled the plot he had read in his previous life: after Zhang Lingyu obtained the Tongtian Talisman, he figured out the essence of this ultimate skill.

The true essence of the Tongtianlu (通天简) is not some empty drawing of symbols.

Instead, they pray to the objective forces of heaven and earth, asking those invisible forces to help them achieve what they desire.

At the same time, the supplicant must also move forward and do everything in their power to make things happen.

As long as it's not an outrageous request that defies objective laws and involves creating something out of thin air, it can generally be achieved.

"It's like making a deal with heaven and earth," Lin Mo pondered, stroking his chin.

"The more effort you put in, the less you have to pay in return."

Lin Mo gestured towards the air.

If you pray for something big, but then lie down and do nothing, the world's power may not help you.

Moreover, they will suffer a strong backlash, ranging from bad luck to sudden death.

"That's interesting. That method is truly amazing," Lin Mo exclaimed sincerely.

In ancient times, when Taoist priests drew talismans, they needed to set up an altar, perform rituals, bathe, and burn incense. Essentially, this was a way to communicate with the gods and ask for their help.

However, it's hard to say whether God exists in this world.

But the existence of the power of heaven and earth is indeed real.

The Tongtianlu (通天简) skips all the steps and allows direct communication between heaven and earth.

There's no need for complicated rituals; applications can be submitted directly in writing or verbally, making it extremely convenient.

As for the thunder and fire talismans recorded in the booklet, they are merely superficial, representing only the most basic functional applications of the Tongtian Talisman.

Lin Mo casually stuffed the booklet back into his pocket, put his hands behind his head, and lay comfortably on the bed.

"There are no gods in this world who can communicate with heaven and earth. This Tongtian Talisman can be considered a divine skill." Lin Mo looked at the wooden beams on the roof.

He blinked, and a thought suddenly popped into his head.

"Now that I've learned it, should I make a wish and see?" Lin Mo muttered to himself.

His eyes lit up immediately, like a child who had discovered a new toy.

"What should I wish for?" Lin Mo rolled over.

Immortality? He already is.

Invincible under heaven? He has no rivals in the entire world of supernatural beings.

"I've got it!" Lin Mo slapped his thigh and sat up straight.

"May I win a billion dollars the next time I buy a lottery ticket!" Lin Mo made the decision with a smile.

Anyway, as long as he's willing, he can basically accomplish anything with his own abilities.

Buying lottery tickets is an event that even time travelers and reborn individuals cannot handle with 100% certainty.

Without any hesitation, Lin Mo immediately sat cross-legged.

He raised his right index finger, and a faint glimmer of light flowed from the fingertip.

"God, let's make a deal," Lin Mo said to the void.

He began to pray from the bottom of his heart: "I want to win a billion dollars in the lottery next time."

With a thought, the method of the Tongtian Talisman instantly activated.

The moment Lin Mo sent out his prayer, he knew that the application had been successfully submitted.

With his terrifying cultivation at the Ascension Realm, he clearly sensed an abstract and mysterious power emanating from him and spreading outwards to the surrounding world.

That power merged into the void and then vanished without a trace.

"Is that all?" Lin Mo put down his fingers and checked his own condition.

He discovered that he had not consumed anything, not even a trace of his true energy.

There was no backlash, and I felt no discomfort whatsoever.

"Interesting, really interesting." Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He was now quite looking forward to seeing how the power of heaven and earth would help him achieve this billion-dollar lottery jackpot.

"Good fortune and great luck, may you dream of wealth tonight."

Lin Mo pulled the blanket over herself and closed her eyes peacefully.
