Ji Mo was startled.
The Sword Pavilion was empty, with no one in sight, yet the voice suddenly emerged, as if whispering in his ear.
"Only those with the Yan Huang bloodline can enter here. The chosen unlucky one, you have finally arrived."
The magnetic voice sounded again.
At the same time, runes flickered, illuminating a dazzling white light.
In the center of the Sword Pavilion, a blurry figure slowly materialized.
Clad in snow-white robes, holding a long sword, with a sword wheel projected behind him, exuding an arrogant and invincible aura.
Such a flamboyant appearance could only belong to the Great Immortal Kong Xu.
"Great Immortal Kong Xu, are you still alive?"
Ji Mo's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of his throat.
The address "little brother" felt incredibly warm, like old friends reuniting after a long separation, bringing tears to their eyes.
However, Great Immortal Kong Xu did not respond.
This was not a divine sense, but a lingering image.
Great Immortal Kong Xu's face was indistinct, making it impossible to discern his true features. His tone was filled with a sense of loneliness and helplessness.
He spoke, "Little brother, since you can come here, I must have already kicked the bucket. I thought I had a chance to change everything, but in the end, I failed completely."
Ji Mo was taken aback by these words.
What did this mean?
So, Great Immortal Kong Xu knew in advance that an old friend would transmigrate here.
Could it be that his arrival in this world was somehow connected to Great Immortal Kong Xu?
He moved his lips, wanting to ask for clarification.
But it was clearly just a recorded message, and asking would be futile.
"Since I'm dead, the empire I built can only fall into the hands of you unlucky fellow. On the walls, you'll find my sword dao inheritance, including Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique. Killing enemies from a thousand miles away, my reputation will remain hidden. My sword techniques are truly magnificent; I'm sure you'll love them."
As Great Immortal Kong Xu finished speaking, the environment of the Sword Pavilion instantly changed.
The surrounding walls shimmered with flowing colors, displaying vast amounts of text and graphics.
These documented the cultivation methods for Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique.
"I worked hard for decades, saving up my wife's savings to refine a pool of divine liquid. I planned to use it to strengthen my physique and break through to the Divine Realm. Now, it's left to you. Absorb this pool of divine liquid slowly, and you will surely awaken the supreme divine body and lay an invincible foundation."
*Crack.*
The floor where Great Immortal Kong Xu stood split open, revealing a hidden pool beneath the ground.
The pool was three meters square, with surging mist and shimmering treasures within, holding a full pool of golden divine liquid.
Miasma billowed, depicting scenes of dragons soaring, phoenixes dancing, qilin stepping on the heavens, and black turtles lying on the ground. The air was filled with a rich, peculiar fragrance.
Thinking about it, Great Immortal Kong Xu, who had bullied the weak and preyed on the strong in his time, selling holy sons and daughters from various factions, must have accumulated a considerable fortune.
The materials used to refine the divine liquid were undoubtedly extraordinary, likely being powerful divine objects.
Ji Mo's eyes welled up with tears. He hadn't expected Great Immortal Kong Xu to leave his inheritance to him.
Was he truly dead?
When Ji Mo had heard that Great Immortal Kong Xu's body was never found, he had wondered if the guy hadn't died but was just hiding somewhere.
Now, it seemed he was truly gone.
Did his transmigration to this world happen because Great Immortal Kong Xu had died?
"Great Immortal Kong Xu called me the chosen unlucky one? Could it be that my appearance in this world is not accidental, but something is manipulating it?"
Ji Mo fell into deep thought, sensing a conspiracy behind it all.
Great Immortal Kong Xu continued, "I left a Kun egg, but it never hatched. Besides that, I trapped a divine beast using the Heavenly罡 Zhu Shen Array. Well, it's under the seven葫芦娃. If it's still alive, you can tame it as a pet. I couldn't conquer it back then, but now it's your lucky break."
"Winter is coming, and all realms are perishing. You might be our last hope!"
"My final advice to you, brother: develop stealthily, don't take risks!"
After saying these words, Great Immortal Kong Xu seemed to have shed a heavy burden, letting out a long sigh. His figure slowly faded away.
Ji Mo's head buzzed.
What was going on?
Why didn't you explain everything clearly? Now you're just teasing me.
"Come out, come out, and explain what's going on. What hope? What winter is coming? Can't you brothers just speak plainly? I really don't know what's happening!"
Ji Mo shouted, filled with frustration.
Your words are so incomplete, it would have been better if you hadn't said anything.
If I hadn't known anything, I would have lived a comfortable life.
Now, my heart is itching like a cat's scratch, what am I supposed to do?
However, there was no further movement, and no one answered Ji Mo's questions.
"System, what ulterior motive do you have for bringing me to this world?"
Ji Mo could only question the system.
In the past, the system would remain silent, pretending not to hear. This time, it responded uncharacteristically: "When you are strong enough, you will naturally understand the reason."
"I can't cultivate. Besides having brute strength, how can I become powerful?" Ji Mo was speechless.
This was a world of cultivation. Without the ability to wield the power of heaven and earth, even the strongest physique was useless.
"Alas, possessing a treasure mountain, yet... you're such a simpleton."
The system complained and then ignored Ji Mo completely.
Ji Mo blinked, feeling indignant. He was wise enough to appear foolish, not a simpleton.
He looked around and suddenly realized that this was the so-called 'treasure mountain.'
It contained invincible sword techniques and supreme divine liquid!
"Thank you, my elder brother Kong Xu, I'm going to soar today."
Ji the Simpleton laughed wildly towards the sky and then plunged headfirst into the pool.
Within the pool, clouds and mist billowed, and myriad rays of auspicious light shone.
The golden divine liquid churned, emitting thousands of auspicious colors, and surging vital energy poured into Ji Mo.
Ji Mo didn't know what to do, so he sat quietly in the pool, allowing the divine liquid to cleanse his body.
He felt a warmth spread throughout his body, his blood flowed rapidly, and faint rumbling sounds could be heard.
The divine liquid contained unimaginable medicinal properties, and infinite creation factors entered Ji Mo's body, completely enveloping him and cleansing every cell.
His body began to emit a radiant glow, his skin became like jade, and grand dao runes flickered continuously, his physical strength rapidly increasing.
Ji Mo felt a slight stinging sensation, and some impurities were expelled from his pores. Increasingly powerful strength began to grow within him.
"I feel something. Could it be that I'm about to awaken a powerful divine body and become a true cultivator?"
Ji Mo's face was filled with excitement, sensing that his body was indeed undergoing a transformation, becoming more powerful.
*Boom!*
Outside, thunder rumbled, auspicious clouds filled the sky, and the laws of heaven and earth intertwined, with infinite dao charm enveloping the garden.
"What is Ancestor Kong Xu doing inside to cause such a huge commotion? Could it be that he is igniting the divine fire and breaking through to the divine path!"
Sima Hongfeng was filled with shock, and then ecstatic.
