In the void, chanting could be faintly heard.
It was the sound of the Great Dao, as if the Heavenly Dao had sensed it and was responding.
Instantly.
Laws and Dao rhymes intertwined, transforming into showers of light that drifted into the garden, entered the Sword Pavilion, and merged into Ji Mo's body.
At this moment.
Ji Mo exuded an incredibly vigorous aura, his blood essence like the sea, his bones and flesh glowing, his body flawless and pure.
He also felt the immense changes in his body, his mouth splitting into a grin that reached his ears.
After toiling for so many years, his dream was finally about to come true, to become a true cultivator. The thought alone made him ecstatic.
Moreover, he would no longer have to worry about being weak.
He now felt full of vigor, as if his body possessed inexhaustible strength.
He even had the illusion that he could shatter a mountain with a single punch.
"Ding!"
The system's pleasant voice sounded.
"Host's physical functions have reached the standard, unique physique is evolving..."
"Evolution progress: 1%..."
"Evolution progress: 2%..."
"Evolution progress: 3%..."
"Evolution progress: 3.8%..."
Ji Mo's breathing quickened, and he could clearly feel his physique rapidly strengthening as the evolution progressed.
He understood that once the evolution reached 100%, he should be able to awaken the supreme divine body that the Great Immortal Void had spoken of!
However, happy times were always fleeting.
The evolution progress stopped at 3.8%, and the system's voice disappeared.
The golden divine liquid in the pool had completely turned transparent, its medicinal effects exhausted.
The smile on Ji Mo's face froze, and he was stunned.
Three-eight?
Was the system mocking him?
It was infuriating.
"The divine liquid's medicinal effects are depleted."
Ji Mo finally found the reason, and his face darkened.
The Great Immortal Void had said that this pool of divine liquid was enough to awaken a divine body, so why had it only caused him a little evolution?
Did this mean he would need to soak in over thirty more pools of such divine liquid to meet the conditions for evolution?
The Great Immortal Void had toiled for decades to procure just one pool of divine liquid.
He would need at least thirty more pools. The thought was enough to make him despair.
"So, my body really is weak. How can I possibly replenish it?"
Ji Mo sighed, feeling that it would be better to just lie low and live a peaceful life from now on.
People should have self-awareness and not harbor any illusions about cultivation.
"Once your evolution reaches 100, you can cultivate and possess the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, if your identity as a transmigrator is exposed, you will die a terrible death."
The system seemed to sense Ji Mo's thoughts and issued a reminder.
"Heh, if I lie low, who will know my identity?" Ji Mo chuckled inwardly.
Boom!
Purple lightning danced, and thunder roared.
The system-branded Nine Heavens Divine Thunder appeared out of nowhere and struck down at Ji Mo.
This was the punishment for disobedience.
Outside, Sima Hongfeng pricked up his ears, his face filled with joy. "I heard the sound of the heavenly tribulation. Could it be that our Ancestor Master is about to succeed!"
Ji Mo's teeth chattered from the electric shock, but then his expression became somewhat surprised. Apart from some smoke rising from his head, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder no longer caused him significant harm.
As long as his physique grew a little stronger, he should be able to completely resist the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
"Haha, you scamming system, what can you do to me?"
Ji Mo spread his arms, bathing in the endless lightning, feeling a sense of exhilaration at finally taking control.
From now on, he wouldn't have to fear punishment for disobeying the system.
"Alas, forget it. I had originally planned to tell you the truth about things, and the method to return. Since you prefer a quiet life, so be it."
The system let out a helpless voice and then fell silent.
"What? What did you say? I can go back?"
Ji Mo's laughter abruptly stopped, and he asked anxiously.
However, the system did not respond at all.
"Too despicable! Threaten me and when that fails, try to lure me with benefits."
Ji Mo gritted his teeth and had no choice but to compromise. "Fine, you win. I will find a way to earn enough resources to complete my evolution."
"Winter is coming, and all realms will suffer! Time is running out for you, so work hard, young man!"
The system spoke again, stating that once his physique evolution was complete, he would be qualified to know everything.
Ji Mo sighed and climbed out of the pool.
He also had a vague guess. It seemed that his transmigration carried some important mission.
The Great Immortal Void was likely in the same situation back then. After his failure, Ji Mo had become the second unlucky one to be chosen.
"I'm just an ordinary person. You must have been blind to choose me. I'm not the type of person to do great things."
Ji Mo muttered, truly unable to understand why he had been chosen.
At this point, he accepted it and chose to shoulder this burden.
"You are the Great Immortal Void, and I am Ji Mo. Perhaps it's this damned name that caused trouble. If I also fail, the third unlucky one might be surnamed Leng."
Ji Mo couldn't help but complain, then walked to the wall and began to study the inheritance of the Great Immortal Void.
He skimmed through the cultivation method of the Void Sword Intent and immediately lost interest.
He still couldn't sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even basic breathing exercises were a problem. He couldn't practice it at all.
However, he still made a note of it. Even if he couldn't use it, the Void Sword Sect could.
He could let Er Lengzi and the others carry forward the inheritance of the Great Immortal Void.
As for the Void Sword Control Technique, Ji Mo studied it very carefully.
This was because some sword techniques and sword control skills were indeed very practical.
Although he couldn't fly with his sword or attack enemies from afar, he could still use brute force to injure people with a flying sword at short distances.
On the weapon rack beside him, there were more than a dozen bamboo swords.
Ji Mo picked up one and began to practice the Void Sword Control Technique.
His movements were clumsy at first, but soon they became fluid, quickly becoming as smooth as flowing water. With every movement, he was in harmony with the Dao.
The system secretly praised: You silly boy, you have no idea how terrifying your talent is! When darkness arrives, you will be the most brilliant light.
"What's happening? I feel my heart surging, and I can't control myself."
Er Lengzi sniffled, feeling the Void Sword Intent within him stir, almost bursting out of his body.
His body was enveloped in a great sword aura, and the sword wheel behind him also appeared autonomously.
At the same time, the entire garden seemed to come alive, exuding sword qi that filled the sky.
Xia Wan'er's immortal sword let out a mournful cry, trembling slightly and emitting a sense of fear.
"It's Ancestor Master comprehending the supreme sword dao!"
Sima Hongfeng gazed fervently at the center of the garden, the Sword Pavilion completely enveloped in sword qi.
Bang!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Immediately, a white light shot out from the Sword Pavilion, tearing through the sky.
The sky seemed to be split open, revealing a shocking crack.
"Void Sword Control Technique, it's the Void Sword Control Technique!"
Sima Hongfeng couldn't help but shed tears of joy. The invincible sword art of the Void Sword Sect had finally reappeared.
