Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 562 - 78 Duo Bao Taoist Li Mo

Li Mo’s consciousness returned to his body, appearing unscathed in the outside world.

For now, resolving Yan Shu is difficult, but it doesn’t matter. The fusion of the Double Void Realm has little burden on the physical body and can persist for a hundred years without issue.

He planned to take it slowly, opting for a strategy of steady progress to avoid Yan Shu becoming desperate and acting recklessly.

The other cultivators were taken aback. Yan Shu, after all, had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Even if demon cultivators attain the title of Land Immortal, their strength is often undermined by shaky foundations.

Li Li realized she no longer had any room for choice. With Li Mo’s strength, he held the power to decide whether they lived or died.

She had to either accept the Immortal Creation Technique or abandon her hopes of ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Five Heads Taoist’s Nu Shou widened its eyes in fury, its aura involuntarily weakening. The other heads ignored Nu Shou and began discussing among themselves.

Just as Li Mo was about to speak, he noticed Yu Xiao had vanished.

He felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

Clang.

Li Mo unsheathed his Lifebound Flying Sword and scanned the surroundings with his Cave God’s Eye. He Guo and Zhang Guo also joined in the search for Yu Xiao’s figure, but they found nothing.

He understood— the duel had already begun.

Yu Xiao’s temperament was like this. She would never overthink matters.

"Lightning pierces through heaven and earth in an instant. Senior Sister Yu Xiao might only strike once, but her speed will be extraordinarily fast— too quick for the naked eye to react."

Li Mo felt a chill down his back as an intangible killing intent enveloped him.

"No, I can’t afford to be passive."

If he were to lose clumsily, it might provoke Yu Xiao’s displeasure. Who knows if she might insist on fighting several more duels until she was satisfied.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes.

The Lifebound Flying Sword plunged straight into his spine, and Qi Blood Sword Intent immediately permeated every inch of his flesh and bones.

Bang.

A muffled explosion sounded from within Li Mo’s body as a torrent of blood mist erupted from his pores, spraying across everything within a thousand meters. Even the clouds turned blood red.

Clang.

Yu Xiao was slightly surprised by the situation. Li Mo’s display of Ru Dao Sword Intent wasn’t the Life and Death Sword Intent, suggesting he had achieved an extraordinary new insight.

Lightning flashed.

Yu Xiao appeared behind Li Mo, her palm brimming with boundless electricity in an instant.

"Pay close attention, Junior Brother. The pinnacle of Ru Dao Sword Intent is called [Daoist Intent]."

"Have you not seen? Winter thunder lies deep beneath the earth, silent as cold ash."

[Sword Intent: Shock]

[Shock] was no longer just Sword Intent but an interpretation of the Dao itself.

Yu Xiao hovered half a meter above the ground, her knees bent as she opened her tightly clenched palm, releasing a seemingly unremarkable bolt of lightning toward Li Mo.

Shock arrives, trembling and quaking, laughter muted to a whisper. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In the Eight Diagrams, [Shock] symbolizes lightning and represents the meaning closest to the Heavenly Dao that humans can grasp.

Li Mo’s pupils contracted.

Though Yu Xiao had no intention of killing him, the threat she posed was overwhelming, forcing him to focus entirely on the battle.

"Qi Blood Sword Intent, Returning Tide."

As soon as Li Mo spoke, an indescribable Blood Attribute Sword Intent exploded within a thousand meters.

Sword sounds rang out continuously.

Droplets of blood saturated with Qi Blood Sword Intent returned to Li Mo’s body, showcasing a sharpness far beyond ordinary swords. Grass, trees, and rocks along the way all toppled.

Ever since comprehending Qi Blood Sword Intent, Li Mo had never ceased refining his understanding of Sword Intent.

Qi Blood Sword Intent was particularly suited for Body Cultivation, allowing Qi and blood to drive Sword Intent while Sword Intent enhanced Qi and blood— a mutually reinforcing synergy.

"Life and Death Sword Intent, Big Grinding Plate."

Li Mo brought his arms together as Buddha Demon Spirit Power converged in front of him.

Faintly visible, a Buddha Demon Dharma Body flickered between appearances.

Qi blood falls like rain; life and death blows like the wind.

Li Mo simultaneously wielded different variations of Ru Dao Sword Intent, clashing against the Shock Intent.

The surrounding cultivators held their breaths. The abilities of the two far exceeded their imaginations— feats no mortal could achieve. No wonder they were Innate Immortal Seeds.

Clang.

Yu Xiao retrieved her Lifebound Flying Sword and cast a deep glance at Li Mo.

"Senior Sister was correct."

"I might win, but Junior Brother, you will never truly lose."

Yu Xiao finished speaking and summoned her massive Thunder Residence Sword Shuttle, boldly flying toward the various factions’ domains without plotting a specific route.

Li Mo chuckled awkwardly without responding, gently running his fingers over the slightly scorched sword marks from their clash.

The surrounding cultivators were shocked to discover that Li Mo had revealed an imposing Thunder Attribute Sword Intent that faintly reached the level of Ru Dao— seemingly similar to Yu Xiao’s Shock Intent.

"Heh heh heh. Daoist Intent is already brushing against the essence of the Dao. With Senior Sister guiding the way, I too will achieve profound insights eventually."

Lightning flickered at Li Mo’s fingertips as his accumulated Thunder Sword Intent erupted from the clash with Shock Intent, revealing the fledgling form of a Thunder Attribute Ru Dao Sword Intent.

[Ru Dao Sword Intent: Silent Annihilation]

"Taibai Zi, Li Li, Five Heads Taoist, if you don’t mind, could you help me keep the approaching Loose Cultivators at bay?"

"Certainly."

"No problem at all, Fellow Daoist Taiyi."

"With Taiyi Taoist here, we’re sure to become Immortals."

Li Mo closed his eyes to harmonize with Silent Annihilation Sword Intent, preventing its dispersal.

Taibai Zi and Li Li exchanged glances before silently protecting Li Mo. Five Heads Taoist also ceased their muttering, with Shan Shou taking the central position.

Every Land Immortal approaching Jianmu discreetly withdrew under the oppressive aura of Transcendance Tribulation Stage Spiritual Power.

Five years later.

A group of Sword Cultivators headed toward Jianmu. Li Mo’s kinsmen arriving made Taibai Zi and Li Li uneasy— would they be discarded once they crossed the river?

Zhang Qiyang, Lu Yuan, Old Poisonous, Master San Yan, Duke of Thunder.

Awkwardly enough, among the five, only Old Poisonous and Zhang Qiyang were in the Mahayana Realm, with Zhang Qiyang being a recent promotion.

The presence of three cultivators in the Body Integration Realm seemed more like favoritism.

Compared to other Innate Immortal Seeds, the Body Integration Realm was already the minimum requirement, and typically at least two or three Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators from the same sect were present.

In Li Mo’s group, the only Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator was a mentally unstable Loose Cultivator.

Duke of Thunder felt a tinge of dread.

It seemed as though the group had been cobbled together— could they really ascend to the Immortal Realm? Likely, they might perish before even approaching the Ancestor Court.

"Enough, enough. Dying on the Immortal Path is still better than meeting misfortune in the mortal world."

Duke of Thunder also held a faint hope— perhaps Li Mo still had Transcendance Tribulation Stage support for the future. As an Artifact Refiner, his network should be vast.

"Cough cough."

Li Mo interrupted the scattered thoughts of the group. "The upheaval of heaven and earth could repeat at any time, so I’ll keep this brief. If we want to ascend to the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Creation Body is our only crutch."

Lu Yuan spoke first: "I agree. I’ve been studying the Immortal Creation Technique for decades, and it indeed contains remnants of Daoist resonance."

Zhang Qiyang added: "The Immortal Creation Body is akin to an advanced Sword Body. It won’t hinder cultivation and can unleash the full potential of the physical body."

Old Poisonous immediately expressed no objections.

Master San Yan chuckled eerily and said, "I’m tired of existing as neither human nor ghost. Forget the Immortal Creation Body; I’d gladly exchange for an entirely new vessel."

Li Li reluctantly agreed, while Taibai Zi gave a nod of resignation.

Li Mo cast his gaze toward Five Heads Taoist. Shan Shou tried to speak several times but was thwarted by furious bites from Nu Shou, nearly leading to another quarrel.

"I can create a special type of Immortal Creation Body for you all, allowing you to compete every hundred years, with the victor taking the lead."

"Good."

Five Heads Taoist’s eyes brightened; he had grown tired of the lack of unified thought.

"Adapting to the Immortal Creation Body will require some time. Let’s proceed with the modifications first."

The first to undergo the process was Zhang Qiyang, whose physical body still lingered at the Body Integration Realm.

In the Mahayana Realm, the Dharma Body reigns supreme, reducing the physical body to a mere vessel.

"Immortal Creation Body [Sunburn Daoist]."

"Brother Zhang, the modification requires integrating your Lifebound Flying Sword as an auxiliary organ. While it will no longer constrain Sword Cultivators, its relationship with the physical body will become mutually dependent."

Zhang Qiyang deliberated for a moment. At the Mahayana Realm, reliance on the Lifebound Flying Sword was minimal— even if the sword were damaged, it wouldn’t jeopardize his foundation.

"Alright then, Taiyi, you..."

Before Zhang Qiyang could finish his sentence, Li Mo made a quick incision straight down his face.

The lantern-shaped Lifebound Flying Sword immediately reacted, manifesting Sword Intent to resist. But Li Mo, moving swiftly, severed all complications and connected Zhang Qiyang’s tiny blood vessels directly to the sword.

Under the whirlwind of surgical precision, Zhang Qiyang felt the sword completely submit, soon merging flawlessly with his heart.

"The Sunburn Daoist Body belongs to the Mahayana Realm of Immortal Creation. It enhances the power of Yang Attribute Sword Intent by at least forty percent and renders the physical body indestructible upon activation."

As Li Mo’s voice faded, a golden light surged behind Zhang Qiyang’s head.

Under the gaze of the surrounding cultivators, Zhang Qiyang transformed into a humanoid figure composed of radiance. Wherever the light touched, it became an extension of his physical body.

"The... Immortal Creation Body truly contains profound wonders."

Zhang Qiyang sensed its only drawback was the immense strain on the physical body. Fortunately, with post-modification refinement, this weakness could gradually be overcome.

Li Mo noticed that Zhang Qiyang had established a connection with his Ancestral Dragon Pond.

"It’s done. The Immortal Creation Body enables Sword Cultivators to temporarily merge into the Void Realm."

It was regrettable that Yan Shu still stubbornly clung to life. Otherwise, Li Mo would have summoned the Void Realm to test its benefits, which might prove greater than a simple one-plus-one equation.

"Me next, me next!"

Lu Yuan’s expression was ecstatic— the Immortal Creation Body was even more marvelous than he had imagined.

Li Li no longer resisted; instead, she saw the Immortal Creation Body as an opportunity and admired Li Mo’s ability to innovatively establish such an unprecedented Taoist inheritance.

Everyone’s transformations were completed in merely three to four years.

Even with the Five Heads Taoist consuming substantial time.

The Transcendance Tribulation Stage Immortal Creation Body [Five Elements True Monarch] saved Five Heads Taoist from cognitive dissonance at the cost of swearing multiple Heart Demon Oaths.

Li Mo surveyed the group. Because of the Immortal Creation Body, everyone looked increasingly like demons and ghosts— there was hardly a trace of Immortal dignity.

"Loose Cultivators can associate their Immortal Creation Bodies with the Purgatory Pure Land for maximum security."

"Hmm, we’re still short a few magical treasures."

Li Mo retrieved over a hundred practice-grade high-grade magical treasures from the Corpse Mountain Mini World and generously said, "Since we’ve shared hardships, I won’t send you off empty-handed for ascension."

"Each of you may take five pieces of high-grade magical treasure. Don’t be shy."

"Also, take some Corpse Wine."

A towering pile of Corpse Wine Jars was placed at the base of Jianmu, each exceeding the Void Refining Stage.

It felt as though they hadn’t ascended yet but were already treading the Immortal Realm’s threshold.

All the cultivators exchanged bewildered glances. They had never seen such a spectacle before, unaware that Li Mo’s resources represented only the tip of the iceberg.

Li Mo waved his hand dismissively, holding far superior spiritual treasures. High-grade magical treasures were no longer worth much to him.

He left several hundred magical treasures to the Creation Sect, while the remaining stock was likely of little use even in the Immortal Realm. He then added, "Forget it, take ten each."

"If any gets damaged, come back to me for replacements."

Li Mo gazed toward Jianmu, sensing an imminent upheaval in heaven and earth.
