Placed beside the Phoenix-winged Purple Gold Crown, there was a suit of armor with a dull luster.
The armor had an ancient design and looked weather - beaten, as if it had endured countless winds and rains. Its original golden color was now faded.
Li Mo remembered that, according to the books, after the Great Sage emerged from under the Five - Finger Mountain, he never wore that magnificent set of armor again.
This armor seemed to represent the state of the Great Sage after being freed from under the Five - Elements Mountain.
Just like the Phoenix - winged Purple Gold Crown, Li Mo could wear it, but his spiritual will still couldn't activate it.
"The 'Ice Block' has already reached the eighth stage of divine perception."
Li Mo sized up the Golden Chain Mail, grimaced slightly, and walked back to the Yin - Yang Dojo.
His progress in spiritual will was extremely slow. The reason was that when he fought against the projection of the Great Sage, the improvement of his fighting spirit in the battle with the Monkey King was negligible.
I stand up and defeat him with one strike.
What kind of tempering significance could there be?
So, recently, his physical progress was obvious to the naked eye, while his spiritual will remained stagnant.
When the moon reached the middle of the sky, Princess Jiang arrived as scheduled.
"Teacher, I... I got a new sword today!"
Jiang Chulong was still excited as she hugged the Green Leaf Sword.
"Oh? How did you get it?"
The Pure Passer - by Heavenly Venerable Teacher pulled his thoughts back and asked with a smile.
"Brother Li gave it to me."
Jiang Chulong adjusted her sunglasses and said.
Princess Jiang's Dragon - Slaying Swordsmanship was extremely sharp today.
After three challenges, the Yellow Dragon finally fell under the Green Leaf Sword and was sent off in a pleasant way. While helping her Dragon - Slaying Swordsmanship reach a new level, it also left the essence blood of the Yellow Dragon for Li Mo.
The Yellow Dragon projection was a generous and decent dragon in its lifetime.
Sure enough, her speed of challenging the extreme - form projections was faster. Basically, as long as she figured out the opponent's moves, she could defeat them.
Especially when facing dragon - shaped projections...
"This Yellow Dragon seems less powerful than before. It was much easier than when I fought the Red Dragon last time," Jiang Chulong said as she carried the Green Leaf Sword back. Her neck was covered with glistening sweat, and her hair was stuck to it.
"That's because you've defeated the Red Dragon and are no longer suppressed by the dragon's might," the Heavenly Venerable Teacher said, crossing his arms.
"It should be so," Princess Jiang nodded and stood there timidly, with a look of expectation in her small eyes.
Seeing what she was thinking, Young Master Li, the Heavenly Venerable, coughed softly in amusement.
"Alright, no more challenges against new opponents today. Let's continue the story. Where did we stop last time?"
"We stopped at when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was pressed under the Five - Finger Mountain!"
Jiang Chulong hugged her legs and excitedly sat on the bluestone.
"Oh, right. Pressed under the Five - Finger Mountain, he was like that spiritual stone before, enduring five hundred years of wind and rain..."
In the small world, the clouds changed and formed a light curtain.
It showed the scene of Sun Wukong being pressed under the Five - Finger Mountain, eating peaches with a shepherd boy, until Tang Sanzang removed the seal and the Monkey King was reborn...
Princess Jiang yawned and reluctantly went to rest.
"Chulong is about to break through the realm soon," Li Mo thought to himself.
"After slaying a dragon once, she will never be afraid of dragons again."
Sitting alone on the Yin - Yang Dojo, Li Mo increasingly felt that he couldn't continue to stand still.
So, the Hun Tian Returning True Mirror vibrated, and the divine will of the Great Sage manifested.
Looking at that majestic figure in the strong wind, Li Mo suddenly remembered the weather - beaten Golden Chain Mail he had seen earlier.
He looked up.
The cloud curtain in the sky was still playing the scenes from Journey to the West.
After five hundred years under the Five - Finger Mountain, when the Monkey King was reborn, he was in rags and seemed to be bare - buttocked. He reverted to the appearance of a monkey and shouted 'Master' as he ran towards Tang Sanzang...
Li Mo, who was originally tense, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Monkey! I'm coming again!"
The aura of the Great Sage projection seemed to pause for a moment.
His face was still blurred and couldn't be seen clearly, but one could sense that he was smiling.
...
The battle on the Yin - Yang Dojo lasted for an hour. This time, Li Mo was finally not instantly defeated, and he also discovered the reason why he couldn't even withstand a single move before.
The more afraid he was, the more powerful and majestic the Great Sage projection's aura became, and the more it would crush him.
In fact, the answer had been told to him from the very beginning.
Don't be afraid. Break the god in your heart!
So, after Li Mo understood this truth, the aura of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven dissipated.
He was the opponent Li Mo had to face directly.
He was also the direction Li Mo had to move forward!
So, only after that was the real battle.
Well...
Young Master Li could now withstand four moves, still because he had endured a long - time beating. Even though the spiritual will intensity of the Great Sage projection was similar to his, its use of supernatural powers and the unpredictable combat experience...
Still made Li Mo's battle a learning experience.
Fortunately, his spiritual will, which had not made any progress for a long time, finally grew again.
When he came out of the small world, it was dawn.
Li Mo didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy.
Taking advantage of his high - spirited state, he picked up the Heavenly People Divine Sword.
To his surprise, the divine sword seemed to get along well with the hammer treasure. It was originally lazy and reluctant to follow Li Mo's instructions, but now, for the sake of the 'Ice Block' and its new friend, it was not as reluctant as it was yesterday.
As soon as he held the divine sword, a clear and pure meaning emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Hum!
Suddenly.
The meaning rose, and the divine sword emitted a mysterious sword chant.
In front of Li Mo, countless auras gathered into an illusory picture, which was the Heavenly People City, grand and magnificent, full of a sense of mystery and disharmony.
He saw the Heavenly People Divine Sword held in the hand of a woman.
This was the sword's first master, the first person to hold it.
She was also the former Sword Armor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Chulong's mother... Shi Sujun?"
The woman was wearing white clothes, and her face was also blurred. But one could vaguely see her eyes, which were filled with an obscure sword light, as if she had seen through the mystery of the sword path.
She stood on the uppermost part of the Heavenly People City, looking up at the dark sky.
The whispering of the whistling wind brought her story.
Decades ago.
There was no Hidden Dragon Conference at that time, but the Heavenly Phoenix Domain had always existed. Countless powerful people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths wanted to break into it.
There was no Heavenly People City either, only the Heavenly People Realm, which was even more dangerous.
Even those in the Sixth Realm, the Dharma Body Realm, might not be able to retreat unscathed if they entered it.
Countless people failed and died there, and their weapons were sent to the Sword Tomb.
Shi Sujun gained insights in the Sword Tomb and initially reached the Seventh Realm. The divine sword in her hand was emitting an excited sword chant, just like now.
She gently stroked the long sword and said, "You were born among the countless broken weapons in the Sword Tomb.
"Their owners included those with lofty aspirations, those with ambitious plans, those with the world in mind, and... It was because of their indestructible wills, integrated by my swordsmanship, that you came into being.
"From now on, they will live on through you.
"I will leave you in the Heavenly People Realm.
"From now on, every hero who holds you will engrave their sword will on you.
"You will become stronger and stronger. One day, you will pierce through the boundless darkness..."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
