The five-day holiday has passed in the blink of an eye.

  When Zuomo was waiting for Master Xin to arrive, he unexpectedly learned that the master had gone out on business and his training would be temporarily suspended. With no other choice, Zuomo went to look for his master, but strangely, his master wasn't there either. He soon discovered that neither the sect leader nor Yan Le were present.

  What happened?

  Zuo Mo naturally didn't know that due to Pu Yao's powerful display, the entire Tian Yue realm was shaken. In a single encounter, five Golden Dan stage experts were defeated, with one dead and one injured, while three escaped. Such terrifying strength was shocking to hear. Golden Dan stage cultivators in the Tian Yue realm were already considered top-notch experts, yet they couldn't withstand even a single blow. Moreover, many sensitive events were involved, and the Ming Tao realm quickly reacted, while almost all high-ranking cultivators in the Tian Yue realm joined forces, so naturally, the Kong Sword Sect couldn't stay out of it.

  Without Master Xin Yan's supervision, Zuo Mo didn't dare to slack off at all. If the "Vajra Clarity" wasn't practiced properly, he would be the one to suffer.

  He then stayed in the Xifeng courtyard, focusing on his cultivation.

  The Pú Yāo remained as still as a stone statue. The spark in the sea of consciousness was still so weak that it seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

  Until a few days later, Zuo Mo found out from Ou Guang that Dong Fu was almost turned upside down and only then did he know what Pu Yao had done. When he heard about the dark red flames, he knew it was definitely Pu Yao's doing. This guy didn't even give him a heads up before taking control of his body! Zuo Mo was furious in his heart. And Pu Yao's impressive feat of fighting one against five also left him speechless.

  White Day Star appears, mysterious and powerful Fire Repair, lost Dark Pearl...

  A series of complex events made Tianyue Realm unusually lively.

  But these days, he had nothing to do with Zuo Mo. At this time, he didn't dare to run out. If he was accidentally discovered... This thought made him shiver. He honestly stayed in the small courtyard, bitterly practicing "Fetal Breathing" and "Vajra Clarity". Compared to the abstruse "Fetal Breathing", his progress in "Vajra Clarity" was much faster. Zuo Mo could clearly feel that his body was much stronger than before, although on the surface he still looked a bit weak.

  The elixir in Lingquan was quiet, and the master's ban had not been lifted, so he could not go to Xiangfangyuan's Dan room to refine the elixir.

  But in that case, it's just as well. He can also take this opportunity to sort out everything that has happened during this period of time. The jade slip about the seal that Li Yingfeng gave him last time, he hasn't had time to look at it yet, and now is a good chance to study it. The seal in Xifeng Valley also needs to be reset, otherwise if the stone room is accidentally exposed, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to him.

  To learn the forbidden, one must first learn the formation method. The formation method is something that every cultivator must learn, whether it's refining equipment, refining dan, drawing talismans, etc., all of which involve the formation method. Disciples of the Great Gate Sect begin to systematically study the formation method during their Qi Refining stage, laying a solid foundation for their future cultivation path. However, for smaller sects, it is basically difficult to achieve this point, and the Void Sword Sect is no exception.

  After messing around for a few days, Luo Mo re-set up the ban.

  He had just set up the ban when he saw a pink paper crane flying from the horizon.

  "Dad, I've been feeling really bored lately."

  "You're looking for trouble."

  "But I don't know what to do, sigh. What does grandpa do every day?"

  Cultivation.

  "Practicing every day is so boring. What else can I do besides practicing? What does Grandpa do every day?"

  Apart from cultivation? Zuo Mo was stunned for a moment. Apart from cultivation, what else had he done? He thought for a moment and wrote "Dan making".

  "Dad is really boring."

  Zuo Mo suddenly felt a bit annoyed and suppressed his impatience, writing three words: "Is boring."

  After half a day, no more paper cranes flew in, and Zuo let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party had also been hit by his unenthusiastic response. He returned to the stone room and resumed his boring cultivation.

  In the stone room, Zuo Mo didn't open his eyes. His recent progress in "Fetal Breathing" had been slow, and he wanted to break through to three breaths, but it seemed that was still a long way off.

  He entered the Sea of Consciousness, intending to take a look at Pu Yao. Pu Yao was still as motionless as a stone statue, and Zuo Mo also felt somewhat helpless. His own strength was too weak, wanting to help him but having no way to do so.

  He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  He suddenly turned around and stared at the tombstone under Pu Yao in disbelief - there were words on the tombstone!

  There were words on the tombstone, which he had vaguely seen before, but never clearly. However, this time, he could see them clearly! He hastily approached and carefully looked at the words on the tombstone, but after just a few glances, he was stunned in place.

  The epitaph was none other than the "Diamond Sutra". He had been diligently studying the "Diamond Sutra" for days, and he was already very familiar with the entire scripture. After reading just a few sentences, he discovered this point.

  How can there be "Diamond Sutra" on this?

  Zuo Mo found it strange, if this was a profound and abstruse mind technique, he wouldn't be so surprised. The "Golden Jade Words" wasn't a high-level mind technique, Zuo Mo estimated it should be around third-grade. On such a mysterious tombstone, the appearance of a third-grade "Golden Jade Words" was truly puzzling.

  He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued reading word by word.

  Soon he discovered that this "Diamond Sutra" was slightly different from the one he had been practicing. Some places had more words, some places had fewer words, and some places had different words.

  Is this really the true "Diamond Sutra"?

  Zuo Mo still couldn't understand it. "Jin Gang Wei Yan" wasn't some high-level mental technique, and even if he modified it a bit, it was impossible for it to become a high-level mental technique.

  As he thought about it, Zuo Mo couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was indeed greedy. The tombstone had been mysterious and unpredictable in his mind for a long time, and he also subconsciously thought that if this tombstone was related to some kind of mental method, it must be an incredibly powerful and unpredictable one. So when he saw the "Diamond Sutra" on it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

  He thought for a moment and decided to memorize the Diamond Sutra on the tombstone.

  As he finished writing, a stunning scene occurred, the words on the tombstone suddenly disappeared, and the black clouds that had dispersed earlier gathered again, covering the tombstone once more.

  Could it be... that this tombstone is telling me that I've been practicing the Diamond Sutra incorrectly? He shook his head vigorously, casting aside this absurd and bizarre thought. Anyway, as long as it's related to Pu Yao, strange and mysterious is normal.

  Emerging from the sea of knowledge, I suddenly felt an urge, as if driven by a ghostly force, to start studying the two articles "Diamond Sutra".

  The epitaph's "Diamond Sutra" and his previous version differ in only five places. After careful consideration for half a day, he came to a surprising conclusion. The difference of these five sentences led this "Diamond Sutra" to take two different paths.

  After being surprised, Zuo Mo also felt that it was reasonable. If there wasn't much of a difference, he would have found it strange instead.

  But thinking further, Zu Mo was stunned once again.

  Because he found that the tombstone version of "Jingang Weiyen" was not as good as the one he had cultivated!

  This conclusion was undoubtedly unacceptable to Zuo Mo.

  Although Pú Yāo is an old antique, the things he gives out are like "Fetal Breath Cultivation" which can be seen as a high-quality mental method at a glance. The tombstone that appeared with him, how could it give out a version of "Diamond Sutra" that is not even comparable to the ordinary version?

  Zuo Mo didn't believe it and repeatedly pushed for an explanation.

  "Jīn Gāng Wēi Yán" does not have very complex content, the entire piece is about refining the body. Zuǒ Mò's cultivation method for "Jīn Gāng Wēi Yán" is also not complicated, it uses the spiritual energy within the body to temper the body. However, the tombstone version of "Jīn Gāng Wēi Yán" uses the floating spiritual energy between heaven and earth to nourish the body.

  Undoubtedly, the "Jin Gang Wei Yan" cultivated by Zuo Mo is much more effective. Even in a stone room with spiritual veins, the density of spiritual energy in the air cannot be compared to the pure and refined spiritual power within Zuo Mo's body. Not to mention that the efficiency of tempering far surpasses that of warm nurturing, and the physical strength tempered out also far surpasses that of warm nurturing.

  What is this!

  Zuo Mo thought this was simply a joke. Was the tombstone playing tricks on him? The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. And what were the chances of such a coincidence? He had just cultivated "Golden Jade Micro Words" and then the words appeared on the tombstone? Or maybe Pu Yao's injury wasn't that severe and he was playing a trick on him? Or maybe Pu Yao had already snuck into the tombstone? Zuo Mo wouldn't be surprised at all if Pu Yao did something absurd and bizarre.

  Zuo Mo thought that putting aside the Graveyard Edition of "Jade Words" was such an inefficient method, just a waste of time.

  However, this change in the tombstone also attracted Zuo Mo's high attention. Since then, he went to the Sea of Consciousness every day to see if there would be any new changes on the tombstone.

  However, what made him regretful was that there had been no news of the tombstone since then.

  Quiet tombstone, quiet Púyāo...

  Zuo Mo was somewhat disappointed, but still persisted in his daily cultivation without stopping.

  However, every time he practiced "Fetal Breathing and Spiritual Refining", he couldn't help but think of the different places where those five sentences were from. Those five unfamiliar phrases seemed to linger in Luo Mo's mind like a ghost that wouldn't disperse. Several times, he almost followed the method on the tombstone to practice, but he forcibly restrained himself.

  Time is precious and cannot be wasted intentionally, just like what Laozi said.

  Bitterly cultivating "Fetal Breathing to Refine the Spirit", Zuo Mo finally saw a glimmer of hope. He almost completely ignored his cultivation which had gone crazy during this period, and looked at the flames that had grown in his sea of consciousness, his spirit greatly lifted.

  It seems that his own inference was correct! He believed that as long as he persisted in practicing "Fetal Breathing and Spiritual Cultivation", the Peony Demon would one day awaken!

  During this time, all the seniors in the sect were not around, and Zuo Mo was rarely free. Every day, he bitterly trained, feeling fulfilled and content.

  In a few more days, the spiritual elixir in the Spiritual Spring will also be refined. The slow progress of the Water Refining method made Zuo Mo deeply feel it.

  Suddenly, he heard someone shouting desperately at the entrance of the valley: "Third Brother Zhang! Third Brother Zhang!"

  The cry was extremely urgent, and Zuo Mo felt a little strange, it should be some outer sect disciple.

  He flashed his body and appeared at the entrance of the valley.

  Several outer disciples were drenched in sweat, panting heavily, their faces filled with extreme anxiety. When they saw Zuo Mo, they suddenly revealed a look of great joy.

  "Big Brother! Something's wrong! Someone has rushed in and is causing trouble, and they've even injured several of our younger brothers!"

  ************

  There is still one more tonight, making up for the 25th of last month.
