The boy looked at the half-left Black Wind Flag, thought for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Theoretically, it is possible. Although the Black Wind Flag and the Red Soul Banner have different attributes, they are both space spiritual treasures. , can carry the power of Yuanci Mountain. However, the refining process will be more complicated and requires a large number of soul sacrifices."
"To refine the Red Soul Banner, at least hundreds of thousands of souls are needed. Sacrifice." The boy said.
Lin Mo pondered when he heard the words. He remembered the Oni Luo Banner that he had snatched from an old demon: "I have two Oni Luo Banners here. I wonder if I can use the ghosts in them to help refine them?"
Lin Mo did have two ghost flags in his hand. One of the rods was eroded by the demonic energy of the five demons during the war and has been transformed into a demon flag. The other flag body was intact and was carefully kept by Lin Mo.
The boy looked at the two flags and shook his head slowly: "The ghosts in these two flags alone are far from enough to refine the Red Soul Banner. Moreover, the Ghost Luo Banner itself is extremely precious. It should be sacrificed easily.”
Lin Mo sighed softly, as if he thought of something, but didn't say anything. He vaguely knew that there was another treasure similar to Ghost Raban, but it was in the hands of a monster in the transformation stage.
Tongzi added: "In addition, although the Oni Luo Banner is a Yin attribute magic weapon, its characteristics are different from the Red Soul Banner. Trying to integrate its Yin soul into the Red Soul Banner may cause some problems. Unstable factors."
Lin Mo pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand, it seems that this method cannot be implemented for the time being."
After discussing with Tongzi, Lin Mo decided to return temporarily. Tiannan, reintegrate the power.
Lin Mo came to the underground cave where he once practiced in seclusion. He looked at the familiar environment with a complicated expression on his face. The light here is dim, only a few luminous pearls illuminate the cave, and the sound of running water echoes in my ears. This was once a place where he could practice peacefully, but now it has become a place where he reunites after a long absence.
Under the guidance of the boy, Lin Mo collected some materials to assist in refining the Red Soul Banner, such as several hundred-year-old grass, an ancient black stone, etc. These materials are of great benefit in refining the Red Soul Banner. Then he activated the teleportation array and returned to Tiannan Continent.
Arrived at the Yunmeng Mountains of Xi Country, Lin Mo sent a message to Lu Luo, telling him that he had returned safely. He stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and felt a long-lost sense of intimacy in his heart. Then he returned to Zimu Peak and started a new round of retreat practice.
After returning to Zimu Peak, Lin Mo completely sealed himself in the secret room. He was in a quiet cave, with a faint halo of light filling the walls, reflecting his focused look.
Lin Mo began to retreat to study the last level of Qingyuan Sword Technique. This level of sword art is extremely magical and requires extremely high levels of character and understanding, making it difficult for ordinary people to break through. At the same time, he was refining the Five Cold Flame Demons, which required extremely fine and stable fire control.
The Qingyuan Sword Art Atlas in his hand was slowly opened, and the layers of sword intent and sword energy patterns were displayed before his eyes like vivid pictures.
Lin Mo stared at Qingyuan Sword Technique, and gradually integrated into it. His body seemed to have become the carrier of the sword's intention. The sword's energy circulated in his meridians and gradually integrated with his thoughts. The patterns on the swordsmanship map began to appear in his mind, and every detail was deeply engraved in his mind.
At the same time, his consciousness also began to pour into the magic formula of the Five Cold Flame Demons. The power and secrets of the five demons are recorded in the magic formula. He needs to understand and control this power so that it can help him break through to become a god. The energy of the Five Cold Flame Demons surged in his body, and he felt a strong flame and coldness intersect in his Dantian.
Time passed in seclusion, and Lin Mo seemed to be in another world. He practiced day and night, and the blend of sword intent and fire cold allowed him to gradually find a wonderful balance. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified due to his practice, and a quiet and tense atmosphere filled the cave.
His state of mind gradually became peaceful and deep. He no longer just practiced, but began to realize the true meaning of swordsmanship in seclusion and the mystery of the blending of fire and ice. Cultivation is not only the pursuit of strength, but also the purification of the state of mind.
During the days of seclusion and practice, Lin Mo occasionally went out of seclusion and spent many peaceful and fulfilling times with Nangong Wan.
On this day, they both came out of seclusion. They sat side by side, closed their eyes and meditated, feeling the flow of power in their bodies. Although the road of spiritual practice is long and lonely, they feel extremely warm in each other's company.
Nangong Wan stroked Lin Mo's hand and said softly: "Although the road of spiritual practice is lonely, with you by my side, I feel that everything becomes beautiful."
Lin Mo smiled He responded: "Yes, we accompany each other and make progress together, so that we can go on better."
They looked at each other and smiled, their hearts tightly connected, feeling each other's emotions. Although both of them were determined to pursue the path to immortality, they were not in a hurry for success, and maintained their awe and love for the path during their practice.
Time flies, Lin Mo and Nangong Wan are both deeply immersed in cultivation and unable to extricate themselves. Day after day, they sat in the cave meditating and meditating, motionless. Lin Mo realized that continuous practice was the tragedy of monks. In order to achieve a higher state before their longevity expired, they had to sit in meditation day after day until they made a breakthrough.
This repetitive practice process was boring, but Lin Mo knew that he had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep moving forward on this long road. He always reminds himself not to slack off at all. One day, he will reach the other side of immortality.
Lin Mo and Nangong Wan stayed with each other on Zimu Peak, and they had a harmonious relationship. During the day, they practiced meditation together and worked in retreat; at night, they watched the stars and the moon together, and talked and shared their experiences.
Both of them are on the road to pursuing immortality, so even if they have feelings, they don't pursue too much gradual levels of sexual pleasure, so as not to distract their minds and affect their cultivation.
But this companionship made the relationship between Lin Mo and Nangong Wan deeper. Relying on their common ideals and pursuits, they support each other on this long path of cultivation.
One day, everyone in the Biyue Sect was performing their duties. Suddenly, a strange gathering of spiritual energy appeared in the sky above Zimu Peak.
I saw countless spiritual energy points gathering together, and soon formed a huge spiritual cloud, slowly circling and floating. The spiritual cloud bloomed with colorful light, as if it connected a magical passage between heaven and earth.
This unusual sight immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding monks.
Lu Luo, the woman surnamed Song, Liu Yu and others also rushed to Zimufeng, and they all looked solemn when they saw this vision. Liu Yu, in particular, looked very excited.
"This spiritual cloud must be related to the master, and maybe it is a sign that he is about to break through!" Liu Yu couldn't help but say.
Everyone realized that this might mean that Lin Mo's cultivation would make great progress again. They were full of speculation and expectations about Lingyun's vision and its impact.
Liu Yu stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea of clouds in the south, feeling endless excitement and satisfaction in her heart. For many years, she has been assisting Lu Luo in running the Moon Covering Sect. Now the sect has grown and occupied a place in the eastern cultivation world. What makes her even more happy is that her master Lin Mo is improving day by day. Now, looking at this situation, it seems that there is another breakthrough. She is simply happier than her own breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. She knew that her qualifications were mediocre and it would be difficult for her to enter the realm of becoming a god. But she no longer envies those talented disciples, because Lin Mo's achievements are her greatest pride. She was willing to put aside her own pursuits and fully assist Lu Luo in managing the sect. Now when she goes out, monks from other sects also treat her with courtesy, which makes her feel unprecedentedly satisfied and happy.
The group soon arrived at the foot of Zimu Peak, where they saw a majestic palace surrounded by clouds and mist on the top of the mountain. Lu Luo was about to lead people up when suddenly a faint light curtain appeared and stopped everyone. Just when everyone was confused, a breeze blew by: "Please stay." A clear voice came, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked out of the clouds and mist, it was Mu Peiling.
"Hello, fellow seekers. We saw the strange phenomenon above Zimu Peak and were curious, so we came to observe." Lu Luo said to Mu Peiling Yi said hello and then explained.
"Senior Nangong, please go to a nearby place. I will lead the way." Mu Peiling said with a smile.
Lu Luo thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Everyone followed Mu Peiling into a passage surrounded by mist on the mountainside. After a while, they arrived at the top of a small mountain peak, where they saw Nangong Wan waiting there.
"You are here." Nangong Wan smiled and came forward, "It is not appropriate to have too many people when Lin Mo breaks through to become a god, so I ask you to wait here."
" Senior Nangong's words make sense," Lu Luo said respectfully.
Sui Nangongwan nodded, and then said no more. Everyone turned their attention to Zimu Peak and waited quietly. Everyone looked up and saw that the top of Zimu Peak was covered by a layer of light spiritual clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
"Uncle, Senior Brother Lin Mo will definitely succeed this time!" Shi Jian said excitedly.
Liu Yu smiled and nodded, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently. She knew the importance of Lin Mo's breakthrough and was convinced that he would succeed.
In the secret room of Zimufeng, Lin Mo felt the power surging in his body, and his brows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from his body, forming a huge energy vortex that illuminated the entire sky as bright as day.
Everyone had been waiting at the top of Zifeng all day and all night, and the battle for Lin Mo to break through to become a god was still going on. The spiritual energy on the top of Zimu Peak gathers, thunder rumbles, and the sky changes unpredictably.
"This time Lin Mo made a breakthrough, the aura of heaven and earth was extremely active. It seems that he is about to succeed." Tian Qin'er said excitedly.
"It won't be that simple." Nangong Wan shook her head, "This breakthrough is particularly unstable. I can feel Lin Mo repeatedly hitting the wall in Lingyun. It seems that he has encountered obstacles, which makes the breakthrough process not smooth."
< br>"What?" Everyone looked at Nangong Wan in surprise.
"Look, the spirit cloud has not dispersed, which means that Lin Mo's soul has not come out of its shell yet." Nangong Wan pointed to the spirit cloud above his head and said, "I guess he has tried many times. times, but they all ended in failure."
"What should we do? Should we let Lin Mo stay in seclusion for another few decades?" Liu Yu was worried.
"No need." Nangong Wan said calmly, "It is difficult to transform into a god, and failure is normal. I believe Lin Mo is fully prepared. It depends on luck. We just need to wait patiently. ”
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. There was a surge of anticipation and tension in their hearts, and they knew the importance of this breakthrough. However, Nangong Wan's words made everyone think. Perhaps Lin Mo was ready to fail, but this did not hinder their support and trust in him.
Everyone waited at Zifeng for two days, but the spirit cloud still did not dissipate. At noon that day, Liu Yu suddenly received a message from Lin Mo, asking everyone to come to his cave for a gathering.
"Senior brother has made a successful breakthrough, let's celebrate!" Shi Jian was the first to react.
"No, if it was successful, Lingyun should have dispersed long ago." Tian Qin'er said with a frown.
“But senior brother’s tone of voice was normal, and it didn’t sound like a failure.” Shi Jian was puzzled.
"Let's go to the cave and have a look first." Lu Luo decided.
Everyone quickly flew back to Tiannan and came to Lin Mo's cave. The cave was quiet and there was no one else.
After one night, the sect suddenly heard the news that Lin Mo had left Tiannan and was going to travel in search of opportunities. The time was uncertain. Everyone was stunned after hearing this. The truth about Lin Mo's failure in retreat seemed to have been confirmed.
The news that Lin Mo failed to break through to become a god soon spread in the world of cultivation, causing a sensation. Many sects were originally afraid of Lin Mo's strength, but they didn't expect that he failed in the key breakthrough.
“I never thought that Lin Mo, the number one monk in Tiannan, would also fail. It seems that our lives will be easier in the future.”
"Failure is normal. After all, the span of the realm of becoming gods is too big. Even if you are extremely talented, you may not be able to break through smoothly."
The major sects had private discussions, but his failure made the monks in other sects relax. Take a breath.
For Lin Mo, a breakthrough may be just a matter of time, but for other sects, it means that they don’t have to worry about Lin Mo being too powerful for the time being, causing their own sects to never come forward. After all, each sect has its own ambition to develop and grow.
Each sect discussed this matter for a while and then forgot about it. In this turbulent period, each sect is actively planning for its own future. The news of Lin Mo's failure to transform into a god may be just a minor episode for them, but they are more concerned about their own interests and status.
The Hidden Moon Sect is not overly worried about Lin Mo, believing that he will break through again after he goes out to practice. There are now only two late Nascent Soul monks left in the Tiannan region, and Wei Wuya's fall has triggered turmoil in the Nine Nations Alliance.
After Lin Mo traveled, he lamented the death of Wei Wuya. Wei Wuya was also a genius back then, but in the end he was doomed and failed to live forever.
"Even if you have magical powers, so what? Without immortality, it is ultimately empty." Lin Mo said to himself.
He was unwilling to stop there and was determined to practice all the way and achieve immortality. Lin Mo understood that his cultivation and lifespan would eventually come to an end, and he longed to break through this limitation and gain true immortality. (End of this chapter)
