Chapter 322: Guiding the Moon Goddess in Cultivation, Unveiling the Veil!

“Leave the item, you should rest first.”

Li Mo picked up the Illusion Sound Treasure Box sent by the Moon Goddess.

Since she had said this much, if he let her take it back, wouldn’t it be obvious that he was deceiving Da Shiming?

“Da Shiming is at the Astrology Tower; I still need to hurry back to avoid arousing her suspicion.”

The Moon Goddess gently shook her head, rejecting Li Mo’s kind offer for her to rest here.

“Alright, wait a moment; I’ll go get something for you.”

Li Mo nodded and rose to head towards the main courtyard without waiting for the Moon Goddess to ask.

The Moon Goddess felt somewhat puzzled; she lacked nothing, what could he possibly give her?

When Li Mo returned, he held a letter in his hand.

It didn’t look thick, only a few pages.

After glancing at it, the Moon Goddess looked up at him in surprise.

“You—your heart is set on the Thunder Technique; take it back and study it.”

Li Mo walked over to the Moon Goddess and calmly handed her the letter.

The Moon Goddess’s body suddenly shook, her surprise instantly replaced by shock.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to accept it, appearing somewhat awkward and anxious as she said, “H-how did you know I…”

She never expected Li Mo to see through her so thoroughly.

Even her yearning for this Thunder Technique was guessed.

After witnessing Fei Yan use the Thunder Technique to enhance her Yin-Yang technique, she had indeed been longing to learn it as well.

But she had never brought it up with anyone.

She couldn’t bring herself to ask Fei Yan to teach her, nor had she ever mentioned it to Li Mo.

Last time, she was still contemplating whether to try and perform well to see if she could bring it up when he was in a good mood.

Yet today, he suddenly just gave it to her.

Li Mo smiled warmly and said, “A person’s eyes cannot lie. Although your eyes are hidden behind a veil, to me, it was as if they weren’t there.”

He had shown her the Thunder Technique a few times; Fei Yan must have demonstrated it as well.

The urgent desire in the Moon Goddess’s eyes back then was naturally impossible to hide from him.

He knew the Moon Goddess wanted to learn it too.

Li Mo had considered this issue before.

He had thought about it even after becoming intimate with the Moon Goddess.

But he ultimately decided against it.

When the Moon Goddess first offered herself, it was to compete with Fei Yan, motivated by personal gain.

To put it bluntly, her motivation was impure.

So when an opportunity presented itself, Li Mo certainly wouldn’t refuse.

But he also wasn’t a fool.

It was impossible for him to let down his guard after one intimate encounter.

Until this time, he felt the Moon Goddess’s change towards him, which led him to decide to change his mind.

The Moon Goddess’s willingness to deceive Donghuang Taiyi for him was enough to show her transformation.

Otherwise, if it were just to compete with Fei Yan, she should have handed the Illusion Sound Treasure Box over to Donghuang Taiyi to gain merit.

The Moon Goddess lowered her gaze to look at the letter.

After a moment’s hesitation, she slowly extended her fair hand.

“Thank you.”

Her lightly colored lips gently parted, and her voice was incredibly soft.

“I thought you would refuse.”

Li Mo returned to his seat, half-smiling as he spoke.

The Moon Goddess had already collected all her previous emotions, her ethereal and stunning face now wore an exceedingly calm expression.

“I truly want this item, so why pretend?”

There is always a return for the effort put in.

But this return came too suddenly.

Before sending the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, the Moon Goddess never thought Li Mo would teach her this technique.

Suddenly, she understood one thing.

That is, when dealing with Li Mo, only sincerity can exchange for sincerity.

“Although I’ve given you this technique, don’t think that mastering it will allow you to challenge your senior sister; your difference lies not in the technique.”

Li Mo certainly understood the Moon Goddess’s thoughts and character.

This annoying little sparrow in front of Fei Yan was constantly wishing to win against her.

It was needless to say that after learning, she would definitely seek out Fei Yan for a duel.

Barring any surprises, she would end up getting beaten by Fei Yan again.

“I know, my senior sister’s current realm is above mine.”

The Moon Goddess was not disheartened at all; instead, she felt a strong sense of competitiveness.

Now there was nothing left to hide in front of Li Mo.

She was completely aware of her own depth and understanding; what could possibly escape his notice?

Li Mo shook his head in disagreement: “It’s not just about realms.”

Fei Yan had indeed always overshadowed the Moon Goddess.

Be it realm or talent.

Even in the same level of strength, there are distinctions between early, mid, and late periods; even if they were both in the Free and Unfettered Realm, the Moon Goddess was not as skilled as Fei Yan.

Not to mention, she had already stepped onto the other shore and begun entering the Spirit Realm.

“Not in realms? Then why is that?”

The Moon Goddess finally revealed her confusion.

Li Mo blurted out: “Mentality.”

“Mentality?”

The Moon Goddess repeated in confusion.

“Indeed, Fei Yan’s mentality differs from yours.”

Li Mo’s expression turned serious as he slowly explained.

“You focus solely on winning, wanting to surpass Fei Yan, while your senior sister has never placed this matter on her mind.”

“She practices for herself, while you practice for her, to be able to surpass her.”

“The Yin-Yang School resonates with Taoist ideals, but it leans towards extremism.

“Taoism emphasizes the unity of heaven and man; you pursue the extreme of heaven and man.”

“However, this cannot escape the relationship between heaven and man.”

“Whether it is the realm of unity in Taoism or your extreme power, both exist within this realm of heaven and man.”

“Heaven and man speak to being natural, non-action, and non-contention.”

“This is nature!”

“But you contend for contention’s sake and practice just for practice.”

“From beginning to end, your mentality has been in contradiction to the essence of heaven and man, so how can you cultivate in the best state?”

“When your state in cultivation is not optimal, you will achieve only half the result for double the effort.”

“But your senior sister is different; her mentality is peaceful, resonating with the way of heaven and man.”

“Her state of cultivation for five days equals your seven days.”

“Over time, accumulating day by day, your gap with her will naturally grow wider.”

The Moon Goddess listened quietly to Li Mo’s teachings.

The more she listened, the more unsettled her heart became, her inner shock growing.

No wonder she always felt that her cultivation over the years was a bit beyond her reach.

She had always used Fei Yan as her target.

But the harder she tried to catch up, the greater the gap seemed.

If it weren’t for her diligent practice, Fei Yan—who trained even harder—would likely have left her far behind long ago!

Especially now that Fei Yan was on the verge of entering the Spirit Realm.

In this period, she seemed to be cultivating daily at the Astrology Tower.

But the reality was there was absolutely no progress!

Li Mo’s words suddenly enlightened her!

It turned out the problem lay right here.

Being overly obsessed with competing with Fei Yan has instead made her mentality unstable.

Cultivation emphasizes mentality and talent.

The Yin-Yang Technique has even stricter requirements in this regard.

Suddenly, the Moon Goddess’s heart became exceptionally bright and clear.

It was as if a thin veil that had covered her was lifted away by Li Mo.

However, a new problem arose.

After competing for so many years, how could she simply put it down and not contend?

How could she peacefully coexist with her senior sister?
