Moonview Cliff.

On the way, Li Mo didn't really spend much effort hunting exotic beasts.

No matter how generous the sect's rewards were, they couldn't compare to the inheritance from Ice Block.

Just listen, the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix.

Such a high-end opportunity, if not for holding onto Ice Block's jade-like legs, he would probably never have had the chance in this lifetime.

"Truly delightful."

With these thoughts, Li Mo had already climbed Moonview Cliff.

Looking down from here, it was a sheer drop of ten thousand feet, shrouded in mist, with no visible bottom.

Not even a single bird could be seen.

Qingyuan.

This was the origin of the entire Qingyuan Sect.

If one looked further, they would find that the whole of Qingyuan appeared abruptly.

Without beginning or end, it didn't seem like a naturally formed landscape.

"Where is the Inheritance Ground?"

Li Mo scanned the surroundings but didn't find the so-called Inheritance Ground.

Indeed.

Moonview Cliff wasn't exactly a deserted place. It was said that Rare Beast Peak often had young couples coming here for trysts, and there were quite a few anecdotes and legends about this place within the sect.

If it were that easy to find, it would have been made public long ago.

How did Ice Block discover it?

Could it be similar to his experience in the Divine Edge Cavern, where he felt a connection with that hammer?

Was the opportunity here also calling to her?

"Don't tell me we have to jump down from Moonview Cliff into Qingyuan."

"How deep would that be..."

Li Mo walked to the edge of the peak to take a closer look.

Suddenly, he felt a moment of disorientation.

In the midst of it, it was as if a terrifying sword intent descended from the heavens.

The sword intent seemed like a divine punishment from the Nine Heavens, capable of cutting through any obstacle in the world until the target was completely annihilated.

At this moment.

Li Mo felt that his body, honed by the Ultimate Weapon Slaughter Body, was incredibly fragile, no different from an ordinary mortal.

"Huh..."

"Qingyuan... was it carved out by a single sword?"

A shocking thought arose in Li Mo's mind.

A sword strike from who knows how many years ago still left its sword intent lingering to this day.

A sword that chills nineteen provinces.

In front of this sword intent, it seemed no longer just a metaphor.

What kind of formidable being could this be?

"In the future, Ice Block might also become such a powerful figure, perhaps even stronger?"

Li Mo recalled the evaluation of Ying Bing in the Divine Fate Eye.

Destined to become the strongest in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Compared to her now, at least in the Vital Energy Realm, he shouldn't be too far behind...

Thinking of this, Li Mo sighed:

"Why am I not suited to practice swordsmanship?"

"Next time, I'll try with a better sword..."

...

The wind on Moonview Cliff carried a slight chill.

Ying Bing tidied her slightly disheveled long hair and glanced around.

"Soaring Heaven Sword Dao, indeed vast and majestic, its aura spanning mountains and rivers."

"The master of this path should still be guarding the Sword Tomb?"

The person who wielded this sword, even at her peak, was someone she had to acknowledge.

Later.

That master passed the Soaring Heaven Sword Dao to a deposed princess of the Great Yu Dynasty.

As fate would have it.

She had known the Sword Immortal (Female), who inherited the Soaring Heaven Sword Dao and later became the foremost under the Nine Heavens, since their humble beginnings.

Because in her previous life, she was deemed to have a severed vein and couldn't enter the Qingyuan Sect at the first opportunity.

They had shared a time of mutual support and camaraderie.

That was Ying Bing's first time learning swordsmanship.

"Chu Long should also have been exiled to the Eastern Wasteland by now."

"But she surely doesn't know who I am."

Ying Bing unconsciously let out a light smile.

At this moment, she ascended Moonview Cliff.

"Hmm?"

She saw Li Mo at the edge of the cliff, covered in beast blood.

Ying Bing was slightly taken aback.

In her expectations, Li Mo should still be in the Streamstone Forest, considering he might encounter exotic beasts at the peak of the ninth grade later on.

Even if he was at the twelve veins of the Vital Energy Realm, relying on Major Mastery swordsmanship, he definitely couldn't handle it easily.

Considering the difficulty of this journey for someone in the Vital Energy Realm, she had even given Li Mo an extra hour.

But... he actually arrived earlier than she did?

"You're finally here."

Li Mo smiled brightly, without any surprise.

It seemed Ice Block had an easy journey, her hairstyle wasn't even messed up.

His clothes were torn...

Well, he did tear them himself.

"Yes, you heal first, I'll wait for you."

Ying Bing nodded slightly, a realization dawning in her heart.

Li Mo must have avoided any entanglement with exotic beasts along the way.

Instead, he ignored everything, avoiding battles and heading straight to Moonview Cliff.

"Heal?"

Li Mo was momentarily confused, then laughed:

"I'm not injured, this is all beast blood, see for yourself."

"I encountered two not-so-strong exotic beasts blocking the way, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't bother with them."

He took a few steps closer.

Ying Bing frowned slightly, actually reaching out to touch his chest.

It really was beast blood.

Could it be that he didn't encounter any trouble along the way, only meeting two early ninth-grade exotic beasts when he reached Moonview Cliff?

This luck was a bit too good.

But... this also meant he gave up on the trial.

Ying Bing didn't care about the sect trial's rewards, but Li Mo didn't even know why she called him here, yet he still chose to come at all costs...

Ying Bing looked up and saw that sunny, handsome face.

She didn't see any resentment or impatience in his expression, only the joy of fulfilling a promise on time.

It was as if he completely trusted that she had a reason for calling him here.

Why?

Ying Bing couldn't quite understand this young man.

"Uh..."

Li Mo felt a bit uncomfortable.

Ice Block's finger was still poking his chest.

It was cool...

"Am I interrupting something between two True Disciples?"

Suddenly.

A hoarse voice, carried by the cold wind, drifted over.

Li Mo and Ying Bing turned their heads almost simultaneously.

On the path they had come, the only way up Moonview Cliff, stood a figure in black robes and an iron mask, who had appeared at some unknown time.

"I only intended to settle a score with True Disciple Li."

"Didn't expect an unexpected gain, with True Disciple Ying also here."

Mentioning Ying Bing.

The black-robed man's voice trembled, filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Whoosh—

A screeching arrow shot through the air.

The other party might as well have had the word 'villain' written on his face.

Li Mo naturally didn't waste words with him and immediately called for help.

However, the black-robed man remained unmoved, instead taunting:

"True Disciple Li, think about it, if I weren't fully prepared, would I appear here?"

"Ying Bing, oh Ying Bing, I can't bear to let you become a pair of tragic lovers with him, as long as you..."

Jingle—

Two bells rang.

Li Mo expressionlessly shook the Heartbound Bell.

"Li Mo!"

Instantly, the black-robed man's voice changed.

If he could wear a mask, one would see the expression under it change dramatically, breaking into a sweat.

He knew exactly who this bell would summon!

"You deserve to die!"

Faintly, a beast's roar echoed through Qingyuan.

Yet, before the opponent could make a move.

A flash of sword light had already arrived.

The sword intent was chilling to the bone, domineering and decisive, making one's hair stand on end.

Ying Bing had thrown her long sword.

This sword, the black-robed man had confidence to withstand.

But he had to admit, Ying Bing's strength far exceeded his expectations, not even enough to be described as genius.

Taking it head-on, even if he was in the Spirit Observation Realm, he would be injured.

The air went silent for a moment.

The black-robed man ultimately chose to stop and sidestep.

However, at this moment.

Ying Bing didn't look at the black-robed man, but met Li Mo's gaze.

"Jump."

Li Mo seemed to realize what she intended to do.

Ying Bing suddenly felt she understood this young man even less.

This was the unfathomable Qingyuan.

Why wasn't he even slightly afraid?

Or was it because of his... trust in her?

"Alright."

Ying Bing was never one to hesitate.

Since Li Mo agreed.

Even though she couldn't comprehend what was in his mind.

She didn't hesitate to take his hand and step into the void.

The cold wind instantly became piercing.

Everything around them quickly blurred.

All senses became dull...

"You!"

On Moonview Cliff, the black-robed man rushed over, his black robe already torn.

He looked down in a daze at the boy and girl holding hands, disappearing into the mist.

In his eyes, there was only disbelief.
