C17 Why Are You Cultivating
After the Second Elder finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in the air. There seemed to be something trembling inside the Storage Bag on Lin Mo's body.
In the illusion realm, Lin Mo suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain. He lowered his head and saw a deep and straight sword wound on his finger. Thanks to this pain, Lin Mo's mind became clearer, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
However, it was still not enough. The illusion realm stone statue seemed to have sensed something. Soul power circulated on the formation, and the light in Lin Mo's eyes once again fell silent.
The butterfly in the small house in the distance let out a muffled groan. Its brows knitted together, and its expression became even more painful. A faint red stripe appeared between its brows, and it complemented the long robe, making it look even more charming.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mo suddenly heard the sound of crying. He looked up and saw a little girl squatting on the ground not far away. She was covering her eyes with her hand as if she was crying. The grass under her should have been green, but it had turned red.
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, and thick clouds rolled. Because of the appearance of this girl, the world had become violent, as if it was rejecting her.
Lin Mo stared blankly, feeling that he should have thought of something. However, no matter how hard he tried, his mind was still empty.
The sound of grass rubbing against each other could be heard from the grass. There was the smell of grass. Someone stepped on a large patch of grass and rushed towards him and the little girl.
Not long after, a thin man appeared in front of Lin Mo. He looked like a vegetable. It had been a long time since he had eaten his fill. He looked like he did not have any strength, but Lin Mo's hands were shaking. The fear that was imprinted in his bones made him want to escape.
This man was his adoptive father.
He did not look at Lin Mo. His eyes were fixed on the little girl. Because of the greed in his thin and protruding eyes, he looked at the little girl for a long time. He took out a fire knife and a fire stone from his arms and started a fire on the spot. Then he took out a knife from the leather bag behind him and walked towards the little girl.
Lin Mo's breathing became heavy. His clear eyes were slightly bloodshot, but his body didn't listen to him. No matter how angry and unwilling he was, he could only watch his adoptive father walk towards the little girl, kill her, and devour her flesh and blood. It was like many years ago, when he saw his mother die, he couldn't do anything about it.
The little girl suddenly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes appeared on the little girl's body in an extremely uncoordinated manner. Her eyes were all red. It was as if she was the most beautiful woman in April.
Lin Mo looked at her face and felt a sharp pain in his temples. Suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion. His adoptive father raised his knife and tried his best to cut the little girl's neck from the back!
"No. . . Don't. . . "
Lin Mo's voice was hoarse, like a traveler who had been in the desert for many days, but his adoptive father showed no mercy. His knife was very sharp, but his adoptive father really did not have much strength. The knife only cut into a part of the body, and then it was stuck in the flesh and blood. The crying stopped abruptly, and thick and sticky blood with a disgusting smell spread out. The little girl fell to the ground.
Her face suddenly changed, turning into her adoptive mother's face. She lay in a pool of blood and looked at herself, just like many years ago.
The fear of bone erosion hit him. Lin Mo fell to the ground, and his throat made a sound. This scene was his greatest fear. That feeling of powerlessness and guilt burned in his bones, pressing down on him until he made cracking sounds.
His adoptive mother fell in a pool of blood. Her eyes suddenly moved, and then she fixed her gaze on Lin Mo. Because her trachea had been cut off, the sound of air leaking was exceptionally miserable.
"Why didn't you save me?"
Lin Mo's pupils shrank. All these years, he had been constantly asking himself this question. His guilt was like a flood, drowning Lin Mo's mind. The few strands of consciousness that had recovered from the touch of the peach red slowly dissipated, and even sank deeper than before. It was as if in the next moment, Lin Mo would forever linger in this illusion realm, unable to reincarnate.
However, her stepmother's face suddenly turned into that bewitching woman. She looked at Lin Mo and said in a cold voice.
"Don't you have a sword in your hand?"
Lin Mo was stunned. He looked down and found that an ancient Long Sword had appeared in his hand. It looked very sharp.
Suddenly, the scene changed. The little girl was still crying on the ground. Her adoptive father's knife flashed in an arc and went towards the little girl's neck. Everything returned to not long ago, as if the heavens had given Lin Mo a chance to save everything.
Lin Mo's body was trembling. His eyes were blood-red and thick blood seeped out. He did not want to run away anymore!
Lin Mo's green robe fluttered even though there was no wind. His entire body emitted a sparkling light. This light followed the invisible lines in the air and spread to the Illusion Stone.
Lin Mo could not see this. Everything in front of him slowed down. Suddenly, he remembered a question that the old man had asked him: What is cultivation? At that time, the old man had told him what cultivation was, but there was another question that couldn't be avoided.
Why cultivation?
There were people who, for fame and fortune, were like city lords. Some people did it for fame and reputation. There were also people like Lin Qing. In order to protect the country and defend the country, just like the Empire's Imperial Guard, then why should I cultivate? Lin Mo looked at the sword in his hand, and his confused expression became clearer and clearer.
The fluctuation of soul power appeared on his body once again. The Long Sword made a slight sound, and it contained the trembling of the rules of the heaven and earth. The thunder rumbled between the heaven and earth, and it was like a silver dragon flashing across the sky. Its power was monstrous, but all of this didn't matter to Lin Mo. His gaze was on his step-father's saber, and it was also on his childhood fear.
He picked up the Long Sword and the thunder exploded beside him. However, his eyes did not waver because there was no fear in his eyes. His body naturally moved freely. He gently waved the Long Sword and his stepdad's movement stopped abruptly. He looked at Lin Mo with confusion and surprise, then he lost his brilliance and turned into dust.
Lin Mo looked at the sword in his hand and then extended his hand to the little girl.
The peach colored beautiful eyes looked at Lin Mo and her voice was cold, "Did you find the answer to that question?"
Why did she cultivate?
Lin Mo's eyes were firm as he nodded his head. To him, cultivation was the same as protecting the person he wanted to protect. It would never happen again if he lost someone so powerlessly many years ago.
The sword in Lin Mo's hand was chirping happily. A mysterious mark suddenly appeared on the sword. As the mark appeared, the Illusion Stone let out a wail. The crack started to spread from the core of the formation. Finally, like a spider web, it covered the entire Illusion Stone. With a slight sound, it lost its light.
Lin Mo's Qi suddenly increased. A silver light suddenly appeared in the sky. The formation of Tianzong City had been silent for many years, but now, it actually resonated with Lin Mo. It was like a silver eggshell was placed upside down in the heaven and earth. It was sparkling and beautiful!
Breaking the Demonic Heart Formation had strengthened Lin Mo's mind. The inscription on the Long Sword had caused the soul power in the heaven and earth to surge. The old man opened his eyes. His spiritual body had become a little ethereal. He had played a big role in breaking the formation. Although he was a little weak, he still couldn't help but laugh at the sky!
Lin Xi's eyes were filled with joy. She could feel the soul power in the world gathering in Lin Mo's body. This was a great opportunity. The Second Elder was more experienced and alert. The disturbance caused by Lin Mo at this moment was too big. Plus, the Tianzong City wasn't very peaceful recently. It was very likely that he would attract some thieves.
The first one who could not sit still was the City Lord. He sat in the study room. His eyes were gloomy. Lin Qing stood at the side with a face full of fear. Lin Mo's Illusion Stone was the City Lord and his daughter's. However, they did not expect that Lin Mo would be able to resolve the Demonic Heart Formation. Moreover, it seemed that he had benefited from the disaster and triggered the resonance of the formation!
This was obviously the credit of the Long Sword. The city lord clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with greed. No matter what, he had to get the sword. So what if you are a genius now? As long as you haven't grown up, you still have no right to speak. The three empires had buried countless of geniuses!
While his killing intent was at its peak, Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Su Yunyu walked in with a Black-clothed Man. The Illusion Stone was Su Yunyu's idea. Naturally, he didn't want to see Lin Mo grow. He bowed and suggested, "City Lord, Lin Mo is currently on the verge of breaking through. If we don't act now, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in the future. "
The City Lord harrumphed and ignored Su Yunyu. Instead, he looked at Black-clothed Man who was standing behind him. Judging from his unstable Qi, he should be the owner of the Mental Demon Formation. Due to the impact of the formation breaking, his Qi was unstable.
Black-clothed Man sensed the city lord's gaze and slightly bowed. "City Lord, I'm sure you know about this as well. The more intense the turbulence caused by the Cultivator, the greater its potential. Although the grand formation of the Tianzong City was not comparable to the imperial capital, it was adjacent to it. It was also created by the formation master of the imperial capital, and it could resonate with it. I don't need to say much about Lin Mo's potential. If I don't suppress him now, In the future, he'll probably become a great threat to both of us. "
Su Yunyu gave Lin Qing a look. Lin Qing nodded her head, then looked at the City Lord. "Father, Lin Mo bullied me first. He disrespected the City Lord and even involved the theft of the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead. It's reasonable for Lin family to kill him. "
The City Lord was silent for a moment. The candlelight in the City Lord's eyes turned into a cold killing intent. "What Qinger said is right. Tonight, we will go and kill this ambitious thief. This can be considered as cleaning up the Lin family. "
Su Yunyu's facial expression changed slightly. Black-clothed Man bowed and invited the City Lord. The City Lord nodded and the two of them quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Lin Qing's eyes were moving and her gaze was wandering around Su Yunyu's body. However, Su Yunyu was not in the mood to accompany the beautiful woman, so he left in a hurry. In the dark night, Su Yunyu's eyes became hotter and hotter. He turned around and looked at the Lin family. He was holding his fist in the air, as if he wanted to take the Lin family as his own.
At this moment, the Second Elder on the training platform sensed two powerful auras approaching at a rapid speed. His facial expression was a little ugly because he was familiar with one of the auras. It was the patriarch of the Lin Family.
He was heading towards this place at this moment, and it was obvious that he didn't have good intentions. He looked at Lin Mo, who was still meditating. It would take some time for him to store his soul force. The Second Elder gritted his teeth, and his eyes were firm. No matter who it was, he had to stall them and buy some time for Lin Mo!
