When Li Mo immersed himself in grinding the mother-child stone, the crushed stones on the ancestor platform began to tremble incessantly, even levitating into the air.
Magnetic forces invisibly enveloped the island, displaying an increasingly intensified trend.
Li Mo’s expression was incredibly serious, his Divine Sense from the Three Nascent Souls pushed to its utmost, meticulously observing the magnetic force’s changes.
After all, the Magnetic Light Nascent Soul Mixed Element Scripture was a spell he originally created.
No matter how refined the Primordial Dao Seed was, it ultimately required Li Mo to slowly make adjustments to explore the potential of Nascent Soul Techniques.
Li Mo greatly admired magnetic light and sought to perfect it to the utmost degree.
The Blood Soul piled up microdust produced by the mother-child stone in front of him. Currently, there were already a hundred particles, and even his Divine Sense found it difficult to lock onto the microdust.
Li Mo held his breath, sweeping away some of the lower-quality microdust with the Blood Soul.
To refine the first layer of the Magnetic Light Nascent Soul Mixed Element Scripture, approximately a thousand particles of microdust were expected to be needed—undoubtedly achievable before the Death Disease outbreak.
Li Mo paid almost no attention to the cultivation of the Three Nascent Souls, occasionally pouring a little Spiritual Energy into his mouth.
The Chaos Beast Infant and the Soul-devouring Demon Infant showed little reaction, following an orderly routine. However, Pu Dao’s Artifact Infant became exceedingly excited, as though sensing the Corpse Infant Stage was near.
Phosphorescent gleams faintly flickered across Pu Dao’s Artifact Infant’s surface, while fissures appeared and closed repeatedly, signifying its full effort to absorb Spiritual Energy.
Li Mo glanced at the Three Nascent Souls, and his expression turned somewhat odd.
The human slip gifted by Old Earth True Monarch included numerous annotations regarding the drawbacks of Dual Nascent Souls, worried that Li Mo might lose control over them.
According to his explanation, before advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, Nascent Souls would act on instinct, even competing with the main body for resources.
Should one drop their guard momentarily, the Dual Nascent Souls might likely engage in mutual destruction.
Balancing the scales evenly was very challenging.
Old Earth True Monarch suggested sealing the Secondary Nascent Soul before the Main Nascent Soul reached the Nascent Soul Stage, ensuring absolute equilibrium between the two.
He even deliberately sought out a Magic Artifact Catalog for Nascent Soul restraints.
Evidently, Old Earth True Monarch was genuinely worried that Li Mo’s dual cultivation techniques could endanger himself, where normal cultivation would have an eighty percent chance of reaching the Divine Separation Stage.
Unexpectedly, harmonious conditions reigned among Li Mo’s Three Nascent Souls.
Due to the imprinted connection, the Three Nascent Souls essentially acted as organs within Li Mo’s body; their glory and ruin shared as one, rebellion utterly impossible.
The Golden Toad appeared at the cave mansion entrance, its tiny eyes fixed on Li Mo’s mother-child stone grinding movements. After watching for a moment, it proactively approached him.
Li Mo didn’t stop it and let the Golden Toad assist him in processing the spiritual material.
Among the seven Tattooed Beasts, the Golden Toad possessed the highest aptitude for Artifact Refining, while the Mountain Demon, on which he placed high hopes, proved utterly incapable.
The Golden Toad bit off a piece of the mother-child stone and ground it into powder using its oral organ.
Although it fell far short of Li Mo’s requirements, the little creature’s contribution undeniably increased efficiency significantly.
The Mountain Demon scratched its head upon seeing the scene, shuffling over to join in.
Li Mo initially ignored it. Then he noticed how the Mountain Demon was creating disturbances that disrupted his mental realm instead of helping.
The Mountain Demon proudly showcased its "achievements," waving the mother-child stone around flamboyantly.
Blue veins popped on Li Mo’s forehead as he drove the Mountain Demon out of the cave mansion using Taiyin Law Heaven, thoroughly sealing the entrance.
The Mountain Demon wasn’t offended. Carefree and clueless, it sought out the Ghost Tiger for a challenge.
Once Li Mo regained focus, his grinding of the mother-child stone became increasingly adept. The powder piled before him had reached half a finger’s height.
The quantity should suffice to begin the Magnetic Light Nascent Soul Mixed Element Scripture, yet he didn’t stop there.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss...
From the corners of Taiyin Law Heaven’s cave mansion came faint, unsettling sounds. The insect pupae long since forgotten by Li Mo began squirming.
The Spider Demon’s multi-armed spine had undergone decades of transformation.
Through a metamorphosis akin to a moth shedding its cocoon, the Spider Demon’s multi-armed spine finally broke past the bottleneck of Hundred Refinements and ascended to the Fake Magical Treasure level.
The entity within the pupae was also growing impatient, eager to break free.
Amidst the horrifying cacophony, cracks appeared all over the pupae’s surface—the largest one splitting it entirely.
Dozens of eyes ignited, erratically scanning the cavern, then converging on Li Mo.
Hundreds of limbs burst out from the pupae as a hundred-meter-tall giant spider emerged. Its entire exoskeleton shone black-gray, covered in fine hairs, its limbs resembling human arms and legs.
The giant spider emitted a chilling sound, making the Golden Toad grow restless.
Its massive frame swayed, soon encased in a layer of spider silk over its shell, faintly revealing thousands of human eyes hidden across its surface.
Though it looked cumbersome, relying on numerous limbs to support its body, its movements made no sound.
It lifted its head, and on its abdomen seemed to bear a mouth-like oral organ resembling a human’s.
"Li... Li Mo, Li Mo."
Its tone shifted repeatedly, reminiscent of the inhabitants of the Corpse Mountain Mini World.
It was hard to believe that a newly birthed Fake Magical Treasure could already speak human words. Clearly, the Spider Demon’s multi-armed spine possessed considerable Spiritual Wisdom.
The giant spider’s eyes revealed greed as it slowly approached Li Mo.
Drool dripped from its mouth.
Immediately, the ground sizzled, corroded into numerous human-head-sized pits that began to spawn spider-headed human figures.
Li Mo remained focused on grinding powder, his expression betraying not the slightest unease, undisturbed by the looming shadow above him.
The Golden Toad ceased its movements beside him, puffing its belly in readiness for danger.
As the giant spider drew within ten meters of Li Mo, its limbs fully raised, longing to pierce the latter’s body.
A piercing shriek escaped its mouth, and tumors and lumps began spreading all over its body.
