The Great Sun Sword Tomb appears calm and tranquil on the surface.

However, even among the vast towns, encountering a sword cultivator remains rare. Including Li Mo's trio, there are estimated to be barely more than five people in the Purple Sun Palace.

Li Mo has been back in Zhi Mountain Temple for two years now, primarily focused on healing the wounds of his Buddha Demon Body. The expansion of the Daoist temple is entirely left in the hands of Ye Zhuo Daoist.

There's no need for him to worry about any resistance; the entire Great Sun Sword Tomb has become his private backyard.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhuo Daoist has stabilized his sword intent and is currently distributing sword ghosts extracted from the copper mirror while scouting suitable ones across various regions.

Li Mo, however, did not hand the "Rebirth" Little Night Wander, which breeds corpses, over to Ye Zhuo Daoist.

He plans to place Rebirth in the Corpse Mountain Mini World. If stationed in Zhi Mountain Temple, it wouldn't be feasible to recklessly move it.

Of course, Ye Zhuo Daoist doesn't need to take risks to investigate the taboos surrounding sword ghosts.

Li Mo has already conveyed related information through his Lifebound Flying Sword. All sword cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Tomb would cooperate with Ye Zhuo Daoist.

Who dares to object?

"Once disciples are recruited at the grave mounds, we can open an exchange system for Corpse Wine, gradually forming a chain of interests within the Great Sun Sword Tomb."

Li Mo's current priority is to enter secluded meditation.

Faced with a world-altering turmoil, he feels insecure about the cultivation level of his Divine Separation Stage. Only a Land Immortal level might suffice for self-preservation.

"Hmm?"

"Some cancer cells outside seem exceptionally active. Could there be trouble brewing?"

Li Mo closed his eyes to communicate with Da Ai Mi Tian, faintly sensing that cancer cells seem to have appeared within True Void Hometown, likely connected to the Heart Beast Sect.

In reality, cancer cells rarely survive for more than a few days outside the body. Only those hidden within the No-Life God Statue can endure long-term.

"Before I departed, I handed control of the No-Life God Statue to Tian Changwen. This must be the work of the Heart Beast Sect. Seems they've begun exploiting True Void Hometown's resources."

With the aid of True Void Hometown, the Four Seas Commerce could expand to even the farthest corners of the Cultivation World.

"What a pity. If I could establish contact with the Heart Beast Sect, there'd be no need to worry about information bottlenecks."

Li Mo sighed slightly, seemingly resigned.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Heavenly Sword Sect is linked to the taboos of the Sword Tomb, a system that not even Land Immortals can easily override; it inherently follows the sect's own rules.

"Back to the matter at hand, there are still countless miscellaneous cultivation issues to address."

To prevent damage to his foundation, Li Mo had been entirely focused on his Buddha Demon Body. Now, he finally has some time to dedicate to cultivation.

Among the hundred or so beast-related Daoist Bodies, seventy-three have been merged into the Great Wilderness Immortal Body.

Over the recent days, Ye Zhuo Daoist has sporadically delivered thirteen additional beast-related sword ghosts, but the process of Dao Body fusion still requires considerable effort.

Li Mo's thoughts stirred.

A Spider Sword Orb crawled out through his nose and mouth, proceeding to perform surgical modifications in accordance with the beast-related Dao Bodies.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Body has already transcended the other Dao Bodies entirely, as its structural complexity grows to the point of surpassing the very essence of Dao Bodies.

While focusing on the surgical procedures, Li Mo began extracting Sword Scrolls one by one.

Aside from the fringe sword scrolls acquired earlier, the Great Sun Sword Dao inheritance was delivered by Yang Niu mere days after his arrival. The Thunder Residence Sword Dao inheritance arrived six months ago, leaving only the Flame Sword Dao inheritance still missing.

Li Mo first extensively reviewed all thirty-two Yang-attribute sword bodies.

The Tao Seed began absorbing the necessary nutrients.

He had already discovered the commonalities within the Yang-attribute sword bodies, yet forging thousands of sword bodies into one unified entity remained a perplexing challenge.

After reviewing the Thunder Residence Sword Dao inheritance, the Tao Seed provided some feedback.

According to the Tao Seed's deduction, the core spinal bone of the White Bone Treasure Body could serve as the primary foundation, with sword bodies of the same spiritual attribute being refined into individual sections of the spinal bone.

The consolidation of thirty-two sword bodies from the Great Sun Sword Tomb into one signifies genuine orthodoxy.

While normal humans possess thirty-four vertebrae in their spine, Li Mo, due to traits of his Dao Body, possesses forty-six vertebrae.

Theoretically, the Sword Dao inheritance of the twenty-eight Sword Tombs could each occupy one vertebra, leaving eighteen extra vertebrae unused.

Utterly abundant.

Yet the degree of difficulty involved is self-evident.

According to the Heavenly Sword Sect's inheritance, fusing sword bodies of the same spiritual attribute is strictly prohibited, for it leads to internal conflict and heightened risks of physical mutation.

With the White Bone Treasure Body as a foundation, Li Mo holds a measure of confidence.

"It's looking promising..."

Li Mo activated Xia Dao Palace, immediately transforming the Taoist inheritance in the illusion realm into Sword Dao.

In merely ten days of deduction, Xia Dao Palace produced a plethora of sword Dao prodigies, proving the feasibility of accommodating sword bodies within the spinal structure.

"Let's give it a shot. If this succeeds, the potential of the White Bone Treasure Body will be limitless."

Even if Li Mo were to create a new Sword Dao inheritance, his forty-six vertebrae could accommodate sword bodies while still permitting the addition of more vertebrae.

Potentially wielding billions of sword bodies.

Li Mo took a deep breath, then began inducing the faux soul consciousness he reconstructed to deduce the specifics of execution methods.

The faux soul consciousness repeatedly succumbed to deviations during the process.

Successfully merging thirty-two Yang-attribute sword bodies into a single vertebra presented considerable obstacles, with continuous conflicts between sword bodies. However, as long as sufficient time is invested in deduction, perfect fusion is inevitable.

Yet the clashes between sword bones proved overwhelmingly severe.

Unless the Symbiotic Dharma Body forcefully intervened to suppress the rebellion of the sword bones, the endeavor would undoubtedly compromise cultivation efficiency—an undeniable reversal of priorities.

The mere intersection of the Thunder Residence and Great Sun sword bones had already transformed the faux soul consciousness into a deceitful object.

Li Mo dared not imagine the scenario involving twenty-eight sword bones, envisioning walking a metaphorical tightrope, with even death threatening to take the Cultivation World down with him.

"Unless the Symbiotic Dharma Body refines them into Lifebound Flying Swords, otherwise..."

"Hiss."

Li Mo inhaled sharply, suddenly realizing it might not be entirely impossible, instructing the faux soul consciousness to focus keenly on this direction. Quickly, a breakthrough was located.

Fully transforming the spinal bones into Lifebound Flying Swords may not be required; refining them into flying sword embryos would suffice.

Following the conclusion of the faux soul consciousness deducing process, Li Mo immediately began his experiment, letting cancer cells infiltrate his entire skeleton to peel away the Yang Lei Sword Body.

The pain escalated relentlessly, tempered only by the Creation Book's Dao Body branding, preventing him from losing control.

Simultaneously, two vertebrae from his tailbone were enveloped within the Sword Pouch, which the Symbiotic Dharma Body devoured in a single motion. Moments later, the vertebrae became extraordinarily restrained.

The cancer cells sealed the aura of the Taiyi Sword Body within the bone marrow, gradually concentrating within the vertebrae.

Li Mo's spine emitted a series of crackling noises, while inexplicable sword scars manifested across the surfaces of the furniture inside his room.

When the Taiyi Sword Body fused into the structure, the vertebrae transformed into translucent, jade-like yellow dragon stones.

The aura of Yang Lei Sword Bone dissipated entirely, leaving only the Absolute Thunder Sword Body, which visibly disappeared at an astonishing rate.

In less than an hour, the two sword bones took definitive form.

Li Mo now needed to thoroughly merge dozens of sword bodies from the same attribute into each other before he could consider the Great Sun Sword Bone and Thunder Residence Sword Bone truly complete.

Xia Dao Palace continued deducing the fusion of sword bodies.

Upon transforming the two vertebrae into sword embryos, the difficulty of fusing sword bodies of the same attribute noticeably diminished, eliminating the sense of directionless effort.

"Step by step, slowly but surely."

"Even if it fails, it's no big deal—at worst, I'll lose two vertebrae."

Within merely a hundred days, the Sunwalking Sword Body of the Great Sun Sword Tomb and the Divide Thunder Sword Body of the Thunder Residence Sword Tomb were successfully incorporated into the sword bones once again.

The surface of the two sword bones bore Sword Dao Spirit Patterns resembling the tendrils of vegetation, extending intricately.

The traces of Yang Lei attribute intertwined yet remained distinctly independent.

Having achieved success, the sword body fusion became remarkably smooth, without hampering the Great Wilderness Immortal Body's absorption of beast-related Dao Bodies.

Once the Great Sun and Thunder Residence Sword Bones contained ten different sword bodies, the structure of the vertebrae transformed into a hollow cavity that unexpectedly evolved into nests for the Spider Sword Orbs.

The Spider Sword Orbs nurtured by the sword bones differed in spiritual attribute and had unique focuses.

The Great Sun Spider Sword Orb was smaller in size and could burrow into narrow blood vessels and organs, while the Thunder Residence Spider Sword Orb was suited for cutting flesh, boasting tremendous speed and the ability to manipulate sharp lightning threads.

The Medical Technique Divine Ability underwent transformation, refining surgical procedures to finer resolutions.

"Kekekeke, once I forge forty-six sword bones, even if a True Immortal descends, I'd be able to completely strip his Immortal Body."

Li Mo grew increasingly fervent in Dao Body fusion, his vertebrae becoming strikingly extraordinary.

By the time twenty sword bodies had been fused, their enhancement of matching spirit attribute Sword Intent reached over fifty percent—vastly surpassing what upgraded sword bodies could achieve.

Observing the sword bones, Li Mo discovered they were far beyond ordinary.

It seemed as if the thirty-two Yang-attribute sword bodies were inherently part of a unified entity.

"Immortal Body?"

Could the origins of the twenty-eight Sword Tombs of the Heavenly Sword Sect be twenty-eight types of Immortal Bodies?

Li Mo fixated intensely on the sword bones.

When the Great Sun Sword Bone integrated twenty-nine sword bodies, impurities inside the bones vanished, recalling descriptions of heaven and earth spiritual objects.

When thirty-one were fused, the marrow dried up, producing faint traces of gel-like material.

When all thirty-two were unified, the gel-like material coalesced into a singular drop of marrow liquid, while the outer surface of the bone exhibited a terrifying phenomenon of nine suns encircling.

The Great Sun Sword Tomb trembled.

Li Mo's consciousness connected to the Sword Tomb.

With hindsight, his observation swept through the entire Great Sun Sword Tomb, spotting the Fire Spirit Hall, its surface seemingly intact yet concealing an underground riddled with honeycomb-like cavities.

"Who goes there?!!"

Lu Yuan's Divine Sense emerged, seeking the source of the anomaly, only to focus on the weakening Sword Tomb where faint rays of light emerged from the walls.

The wounds on the Fire Spirit Hall began to heal gradually, the Yang Qi growing increasingly rich.

"The Sword Tomb seems to be awakening, though whether it's good or bad remains uncertain."

Li Mo's consciousness descended into the underground.

He found the Sword Tomb filled entirely with an amalgam of flesh-like tissues.

It resembled a living organism, though void of any recognizable organs.

"What exactly sustains the Sword Tomb in perpetually releasing spiritual energy? If there were top-grade Spirit Stones here, the Creation Book would have reacted long ago."

Li Mo's consciousness arrived at the core of the Great Sun Sword Tomb, and he froze.

"A Tomb of Clothing? Why would it be a Tomb of Clothing?"

Within the narrow erosion cave rested a simple mound, the coffin buried inside containing the Inner Sect Robe of the Yang Sword Lineage from ten thousand years ago.

A wooden plaque was staked into the mound, engraved:

[Disciple Chunyang Zi, may the Heavenly Sword Sect prosper eternally, may the Yang Sword Lineage flourish eternally.]

As Li Mo's mind drifted in confusion, his consciousness returned to his body, releasing scattered fragments of memory from the Creation Book.

In his duel with Elder Wu Xin, Li Mo had glimpsed pieces of Chunyang Zi's past. The memories stored within the Creation Book seemed to have continued.

......

The mountains of graves across the Heavenly Sword Sect were even denser than remembered. Upon casual observation, there appeared to be no fewer than a hundred thousand grave sites, a clear testament to the sect's demise.

Chunyang Zi's fate after becoming mortal remains unknown.

Nevertheless, traces of Chunyang Zi's presence are scattered everywhere; even the epitaphs bear his handwriting.

The graves at the tops of mountain peaks buried the elders of the twenty-eight sword lineages, their inscriptions identical to those Li Mo found deep within the Great Sun Sword Tomb.

Time passed imperceptibly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A colossal head, ten thousand meters in size, plummeted from the heavens. The head belonged to an Immortal, its surface bearing intricate Sword Dao Spirit Patterns eerily similar to those found on the bones.

The Immortal's head, accompanied by twenty-eight in total, each wore expressions of unrelenting despair as they crashed directly upon the Heavenly Sword Sect.
