The disintegration of the flying sword, unsurprisingly, should originate from the Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs [Residence God], though the specific name remains unknown.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect really thinks highly of me."

Li Mo knew the contents of the Sword Scroll definitely wouldn't be good, but there was no choice—for now, he still had to rely on this top-ranking thigh to lean against.

As long as he remained the chief of the Great Sun Sword Tomb, much trouble would disappear invisibly.

For instance, matters involving the Three Pure Heavens.

The peaceful days of late suggested the Three Pure Heavens didn't dare overly offend the Heavenly Sword Sect, as the residual power of the Great Sun Sword Tomb's chief identity was still present.

Li Mo picked up the Sword Scroll and swept his Divine Sense across its contents.

He learned that the Three Pure Heavens' scheming against the Great Sun Sword Tomb hadn't succeeded. More precisely, the Heavenly Sword Sect had managed to cut their losses in time, and the Sword Tomb wasn't completely destroyed.

The Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs formed a single entity; the Mountain Protection Array prevented the Sword Tombs from spiraling out of control.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Heavenly Sword Sect abandoned the Great Sun Sword Tomb, the tomb itself could gradually repair over time—though it would take at least a thousand years.

But unexpected events followed one after another.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous Sword Cultivators, the damaged Great Sun Sword Tomb suddenly vanished without a trace.

Yes, without any forewarning.

A planet larger than the Artifact Core Body disappeared without leaving any evidence.

When it reappeared, the Great Sun Sword Tomb had shifted tens of thousands of miles away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, its Sword Intent emanating from the depths of the Endless Star Sea.

"What kind of monstrosity is this? Was it the doing of the Three Pure Heavens?"

"Or perhaps... does it have something to do with the nearby celestial upheaval?"

The Sword Scroll was sent by Luo Yang, urging Li Mo to lead the Great Sun Sword Cultivators to participate.

The Daoist and Demon factions would send cultivators to the location of the Great Sun Sword Tomb, along with the Heavenly Sword Sect's Land Immortal [Zhang Qiyang], who would personally oversee the situation.

It wasn't that the Heavenly Sword Sect lacked a Void Refining Stage Sword Cultivator, but rather that the Great Sun Sword Tomb simply no longer had worthy Sword Cultivators to deploy.

The Three Pure Heavens' assault on the Great Sun Sword Tomb resulted in the deaths and Dao disappearances of two Void Refining Stage Elders, while three others were seriously injured and ended up dragged along with the collapsing tomb into the depths of the sea during their closed-door cultivation.

Li Mo's importance as the chief of the Great Sun Sword Tomb was therefore self-evident.

"Zhang Qiyang..."

About this Land Immortal, whom he'd never heard of before, Li Mo didn't know much—just a few scant details revealed in the Sword Scroll.

Zhang Qiyang was a Land Immortal from the Great Sun Sword Tomb, who had long secluded himself in closed-door training somewhere within the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was the assault on the Great Sun Sword Tomb that forced him to come out of seclusion, and he specifically requested to see Li Mo.

"Seems like escaping this fate isn't an option."

Li Mo's expression remained calm, as eighty percent of the content in the Sword Scroll consisted of the various benefits promised by the Great Sun Sword Tomb.

These benefits included, but were not limited to, cultivation techniques that advanced directly to the Mahayana Realm, Taoist inheritance from the other twenty-eight sword tombs, resources to aid in reaching the Body Integration Realm...

"The general location of the Great Sun Sword Tomb is a bit intriguing."

Li Mo took out the ancient map he had sketched ten thousand years ago, marked the location of the Great Sun Sword Tomb, and realized it was in the Southern Sea Dragon Pond.

Also known as the Southern Sea Dragon Palace, it had been the residence of a True Dragon ten thousand years ago.

"The South Sea Dragon King..."

Fragments of memory from the Creation Book floated into view—the South Sea Dragon King's identity was rather unique. Not only was he a [Mahayana Realm] Land Immortal, but his ancestors had even produced a celestial dragon that ascended to the Upper Realm.

[The Benevolent Dragon King]

The Benevolent Dragon King wasn't a Taoist Immortal God but actually a member of the Buddhist sect, counted among the Eight Dragon Kings.

His status seemed prestigious, yet according to the Creation Book's accounts, the Eight Dragon Kings didn't even qualify as mounts for a Buddha; they were reduced to mere ornamental fixtures.

Li Mo could also glimpse the awkward position the Dragon Clan held in the ancient Cultivation World.

"If the Southern Sea Dragon Pond truly holds something suitable, it might offer Taoist inheritance that could perfect the symbiotic Dharma Body cultivation technique."

Moreover, in Li Mo's impression, the Benevolent Dragon King was renowned for his body refinement expertise.

Though the Benevolent Dragon King's status within the Buddhist sect wasn't high, his body refinement techniques were top-quality; whether the South Sea Dragon King had passed down his legacy was another matter.

"The harvest from a Southern Sea journey could be enough to support me in achieving the rank of Land Immortal."

"Right now, before the Creation Sect finishes setting up their intelligence network, it seems unlikely to find clues about the No-Life Mother's remnant body."

Li Mo's gaze flickered but he didn't immediately set out.

The Sword Scroll didn't specify a particular time, likely leaving about a decade of leeway—before heading to the Southern Sea, he needed to gauge the reactions of various sects.

Although the Great Sun Sword Tomb wouldn't actively sabotage him, caution still demanded some preparation.

"The Tattooed Beast will gradually advance to the Void Refining Stage within the next few years—with the Kun Whale beside me, coupled with the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, the deep sea is my domain."

Li Mo retrieved most of the Lifebound Flying Swords from within the Ancient Wood, leaving behind only hundreds of Water Ice Attribute Flood Dragons.

The peculiar Water Ice Sword Intent eroded the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, causing a brief discomfort for Li Mo, followed by subtle transformations in his flesh, bones, and blood.

Then, flipping open the Creation Book, he burned through a blank page to imprint the Mother Furnace.

The Mother Furnace held imprinting value, and Li Mo had to ensure the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater remained impregnable. A mere twenty-three Divine Separation Stage cultivators holding position wouldn't suffice.

Besides, he planned to take three or four with him—especially Ye Zhuo Daoist, who was familiar with the Great Sun Sword Tomb.

The reason Li Mo had delayed until now was entirely due to his efforts to modify the Mother Furnace with cancer cells, while also cleaning up remnants of Buddha Energy and wine vapors.

The divine skills of the Mother Furnace were largely tied to the Nine Nether Immortal Energy, though its other residual energies could potentially interfere.

As the blank page revealed the Mother Furnace's ethereal silhouette, phosphorescence surged through the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, while the rock walls writhed with dense, bloody tendrils.

The Creation Book defied conventional logic.

Anything Li Mo had ever come into contact with—if it was made of flesh—even the vast volume of the Mother Furnace would inevitably become an auxiliary organ.

The port remained entirely orderly, for Li Mo stationed there served as the Stabilizing Pillar.

After ten consistent days.

Li Mo had already fully controlled the Mother Furnace, while discovering a hidden secret deep within the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater: a meteorite saturated with Nine Nether Immortal Energy.

The meteorite resembled a clenched fist.

The Nine Nether Immortal Energy leaked out from the crevices between the fingers—the contents of the palm remained unknown.

Li Mo stared at it for a moment before quickly dismissing any stray notions in his mind.

For one thing, the density of phosphorescence near the meteorite exceeded his capabilities a thousandfold, and attempting to approach would only leave him as a puddle of disintegrated sludge.

For another, the meteorite was highly likely the epicenter of the celestial upheaval—who knew what beings were entangled with it?

Li Mo communicated with the Mother Furnace, and its control operated seamlessly, just like his Lifebound Magical Treasure, Da Ai Mi Tian.

Boom boom boom.

The Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater trembled violently, its nearest opening to the surface sank a thousand meters, while its position saw slight deviations.

Directly countering an assault might not be feasible, but enough to allow time for escape.

If only for a moment, Creation Sect disciples could already complete their evacuation—the Nearby Array ensured myriad backdoors for retreat.

The Mother Furnace's divine skill [Primordial Blood Light]

"Kekekeke, foolproof."

Li Mo discreetly activated the Primordial Blood Light, causing phosphorescence within the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater to suddenly surge, gathering above the port and transforming into a sun while the Mother Furnace extended countless blood vessels to connect with the phosphorescent sun.

The cultivators were stunned to find themselves unaffected by phosphorescent corrosion.

The so-called Primordial Blood Light ensured that any living being acknowledged by the Mother Furnace remained immune to phosphorescence, officially turning the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater into an authentic Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Primordial Blood Light, combined with the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array, made it difficult even for a Void Refining Stage cultivator to break through.

The Mother Furnace's shallow consciousness exuded jubilance, actively absorbing the phosphorescence leaking from the meteorite, causing steady improvements in its level.

"Its progress is rather slow, but within two thousand years, it should reach the Void Refining Stage."

Li Mo looked satisfied, imposing restrictions for outsiders—anyone above the Divine Separation Stage entering the port would face phosphorescence corrosion.

The port expanded further, and cultivators started dividing up the surplus land.

Li Mo continued consolidating his cultivation.

Spirit Root Worms gradually withdrew from the Ancient Wood, replaced by hundreds of Illusion Spirit Roots, easily sustaining the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array.

Li Mo felt as if he'd blinked—and three years flew by.

With the port open, up to forty thousand cultivators were transported to various black markets.

Outside, loose cultivators seemed to have forgotten about the port, and over half a month passed before only a handful of visitors arrived at the stove land.

The loose cultivator's expressions were terrified, staring incredulously at the port.

The port city, designed to accommodate millions, appeared to the loose cultivators as unprecedented in scale. Towering buildings filled the streets and alleys, with Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators everywhere.

There were also colossal branches of ancient wood covered with countless organs, illuminated by the radiant phosphorescent sun hanging overhead.

In just a century, what had happened to the Sub-Device Sect? What had happened at the port?

The divine-like Immortal Creation Technique might have seemed like mere rumors, but the sudden surge in cultivation levels among the Creation Sect disciples defied explanation.

Missing relatives or friends for over a hundred years, who previously were only in childhood, now reappeared during their youth—or even after reaching the Core Formation Stage.

How could this not drive the loose cultivators into madness?

Soon enough, the port was flooded with an unprecedented rush of loose cultivators. If not for limited quotas, it seemed like half the Cultivation World would show up.

With the flow of resources into the port, its terrifying prosperity took center stage.

Tian Changwen recalled Taoist inheritance through summaries, delivering them all to the Ancient Wood, including fragments of advanced magic techniques.

Li Mo didn't interfere much, focusing instead on stabilizing his cultivation with the Artifact Core Body, as the Tattooed Beasts began awakening one by one, and the projections from Xia Dao Palace were completed smoothly.

By prioritizing the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Body and supplementing it with countless Yin Attribute Dao Bodies, he succeeded in achieving the thirteenth section of the Immortal Bone.

[Corpse Disintegration]

Li Mo nurtured the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Bone, nearly delaying his plans with the Southern Sea Dragon Pond.

Unknowingly, he spent another eight years in seclusion—he realized if he waited longer, Zhang Qiyang might personally come to the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater to summon him.

Through black market intelligence, Li Mo confirmed that both the Daoist and Demon factions were heading to the Southern Sea.

He no longer hesitated, bringing three Divine Separation Stage Sword Cultivators with him—namely Daoist Bai Shuo, Jiang Xi, and Daoist Ye Zhuo.

To Li Mo's surprise, all three had been involved in the Immortal Creation Technique, with Ye Zhuo Daoist undergoing the most extensive organ modifications.

The appearances of all three had become rather bizarre.

Jiang Xi's head had transformed into a volcanic shape, with brain tissue boiling like magma, while his lungs emitted sounds akin to a blower fan.

Daoist Bai Shuo had six arms, the additional four resembling sword blades, while his entire skin had turned metallic, perfectly complementing his Sword Body.

Ye Zhuo Daoist looked elderly and on the brink of death, with his Lifebound Flying Sword embedded in his head, feigning death to force the sword to supply him with nutrients.

An unconventional Yin Yang Balance method.

Li Mo twitched his lips, wondering what Zhang Qiyang's reaction would be upon seeing them. Well, as Sword Cultivators, appearance shouldn't matter much, right?
