Chapter 182: But If You're Not by My Side, It Won't Be Good
At the peak of Karma Blood Peak.
Before the hour of mao each day, Xiao Mo would rise from his room and practice the Blood Demon Sword Formula while gripping the Spirit Absorbing Sword.
The Blood Demon Sword Formula was divided into nine forms in total, each building upon the previous one, corresponding to the nine realms of cultivation.
The later forms became increasingly terrifying.
Of course, the further one practiced, the higher the possibility of qi deviation.
Xiao Mo’s cultivation speed was indeed very fast. Even after reaching Foundation Building, his cultivation showed no signs of slowing down.
Not to mention that with the enhancement of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Xiao Mo felt that breaking through realms was as simple as drinking water.
As for the bottlenecks that cultivators spoke of, Xiao Mo had never encountered them.
Moreover, the Blood Demon Sword Formula had high compatibility with Xiao Mo.
Sometimes Xiao Mo would even feel fear about his own cultivation talent.
He truly was like a monster.
Two months after Xiao Mo established his foundation, he had already reached the middle stage of Foundation Building.
This was still the result of Xiao Mo deliberately suppressing his realm because he was worried about cultivating too quickly but Xiao Mo could only suppress for so long. In the end, he still broke through a minor realm.
Xiao Mo suspected his realm was unstable. One day, he asked Xue Kui, “Is my cultivation foundation unstable?”
Hearing Xiao Mo’s inquiry, Xue Kui choked on her wine, then burst into loud laughter, “Cultivating fast means an unstable foundation? Then those fools who spend their entire lives unable to establish foundation, are their foundations truly rock-solid?
Earlier when you killed Wang Weijun and Li Chen, they had been immersed in Foundation Building realm for three or four years before breaking through to Cave Mansion but in your hands, they couldn’t last twenty exchanges. How do you explain that?”
Xiao Mo remained silent.
Xue Kui lifted her sleeve to wipe the wine from her lips, “Genius is genius, fool is fool. Your lower limit is the upper limit others can never reach in their lifetimes. Continue practicing well. If there are problems, I’ll tell you.
Remember, you are my disciple. It’s only natural that your realm improves quickly. Otherwise, you would have died under my blade long ago.”
“…”
Since Xue Kui said so, Xiao Mo continued practicing with peace of mind.
After all, if his cultivation went wrong, it would bring her no benefit and would only make her lose face.
Another half year passed.
Xiao Mo had already mastered the first two forms of the Blood Demon Sword Formula to perfection.
In the seventh month after Xiao Mo entered Foundation Building realm.
One morning, Xiao Mo broke through to Cave Mansion realm.
Just as Bai Ruxue had previously found various heavenly materials and earthly treasures to suppress Xiao Mo’s cave mansion.
Xue Kui also took out treasures she had prepared long ago to suppress the cave mansion within Xiao Mo’s body.
However, these treasures were all extremely ominous, each filled with baleful qi.
Initially, Xiao Mo was nearly driven to qi deviation by the baleful qi of these three treasures, spending a full month to gradually adapt but after adapting, Xiao Mo found that the baleful qi within his body was several times greater than before, and his Cave Mansion realm was completely consolidated.
Having reached Cave Mansion realm, Xiao Mo could go find Xue Kui.
However, although Xiao Mo very much wanted Jiang Xin to quickly leave the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, a place of trouble.
Xiao Mo was not a hothead either. He wasn’t foolish enough to immediately seek out Xue Kui to withstand those three blade strikes.
He felt his strength was still insufficient. At the very least, he needed to master the third form of the Blood Demon Sword Formula.
Several more months passed.
On the morning exactly one year after Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin arrived at the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.
Standing at the peak, Xiao Mo sensed something and slashed out with his blade.
Blood-red blade qi shaped like a crescent moon split a boulder fifty zhang away in half.
The crescent-shaped blood-colored blade qi showed no signs of weakening and continued forward.
Behind this mountain peak were more peaks of equal height, their summits topped with boulders that Xue Kui had placed there beforehand.
Thunderous sounds echoed from the distance.
Each boulder was split in half.
The blade qi penetrated a full three hundred zhang before finally striking the protective formation of “Ten Thousand Flowers Peak,” causing several female disciples to curse sweetly and fly up to see who was so reckless as to dare disturb their Ten Thousand Flowers Peak.
When they saw it was the disciple of Karma Blood Peak’s master, they couldn’t afford to provoke him and had to let it go.
Some women even transmitted their voices, calling out, “Little brother knocked on our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak’s door, why don’t you come play at our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak?”
Xiao Mo pretended not to hear.
These female cultivators from Ten Thousand Flowers Peak actually dared to flirt with even a youth like himself.
However, after this blade strike, it meant he had mastered the third form “Blood Moon Slash” to perfection.
“Xiao Mo, time for breakfast!”
Just as Xiao Mo was sheathing his long blade, Jiang Xin’s voice came from behind.
“Coming.”
Xiao Mo turned and walked toward the courtyard.
Throughout this year, Jiang Xin had been taking care of Xiao Mo’s daily needs.
After Xiao Mo established his foundation, Xue Kui would give Jiang Xin blood and flesh from demonic beasts and spirit beasts every day, having her cook them into food to nourish Xiao Mo.
Initially, Xiao Mo wanted her to eat together, but Jiang Xin kept shaking her head, always eating fasting pills.
However, after being scolded by Xiao Mo several times, Jiang Xin could only lower her head aggrievedly and obediently dine with Xiao Mo.
This blood and flesh rich in spiritual power would cause ordinary people to explode if they ate too much but Jiang Xin’s Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart constitution was special, allowing her to absorb however much she ate.
At this time, even though Jiang Xin hadn’t learned any techniques, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart nourished by this spiritual blood and flesh had allowed her to enter the fourth layer of Qi Refinement.
This showed how extraordinary Jiang Xin’s talent was.
The more this was the case, the more determined Xiao Mo became to send her to a Buddhist temple for cultivation.
“Ah Xin.” After finishing breakfast, Xiao Mo put down his chopsticks and looked seriously at the girl before him.
“Mm?” Jiang Xin held her chopsticks in her mouth, tilting her head.
“I want to take you somewhere,” Xiao Mo said.
Jiang Xin’s eyes blinked gently, “What place?”
“A Buddhist temple.”
Xiao Mo organized his words.
“Ah Xin, your Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is too special. Although the Ten Thousand Dao Sect has Xue Kui’s protection, she is only an elder after all. If others find out, I’m worried even she can’t protect you. So I want to take you to a safer place.
There, you can study Buddhist teachings and step onto the path of cultivation.
At least you won’t have to hide like you do now.”
Jiang Xin lowered her head and thought for a while.
After a long time, Jiang Xin raised her head and asked, “Xiao Mo, will you be at the place you’re taking me to?”
“…” Xiao Mo was momentarily speechless.
“Silly.” After a while, Xiao Mo reached out and tapped her little head, “What does it matter whether I’m there or not? Is that important? That place is called Kongnian Temple. It’s a very good place.”
“But Xiao Mo…”
Jiang Xin looked seriously at the little boy before her.
“No matter how good that Kongnian Temple you speak of is but if you’re not by my side, it won’t be good.”
