[Attitude towards the host: Indifferent]
Looking at the system panel in front of him, Dong Mo's lips immediately curled into a smile.
Hmph, Gu Ziyue, is that it? Devouring Heaven True Blood, is that it?
If you dare to show me the strategy pop-up, I'll show you the strategy even if you're a god!
Dong Mo's plan was simple. Since the root cause of Gu Ziyue's berserk state was the Devouring Heaven True Blood within her body, wouldn't it be possible to control the Devouring Heaven True Blood to remove Gu Ziyue's berserk state once he subdued it?
As Dong Mo was lost in thought, Xiao Bai was already engaged in battle with the berserk Gu Ziyue in the distance.
Although Xiao Bai's strength was forcibly suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage by He Mingshan at this time.
But she was, after all, a genuine Golden Core cultivator! Xiao Bai, wielding the Purple Nether Sword, nimbly maneuvered it, dodging and weaving amidst Gu Ziyue's ferocious attacks.
The Purple Nether Sword in her hand transformed into streaks of purple light, continuously leaving wounds on Gu Ziyue's massive body.
Gu Ziyue roared in pain, launching an attack solely based on her remaining animalistic instincts. She charged at Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai easily dodged her by sidestepping.
With a loud "bang," the hard stone wall behind Xiao Bai's previous location was dented like a spider web by Gu Ziyue's impact.
As Gu Ziyue charged wildly, the maze-like mechanisms scattered around the battlefield were instantly triggered and activated by her violent actions.
In an instant, various colored magical light projectiles shot out from the array patterns on the wall, and various crossbows and poison spikes bounced up one after another from under the floor.
Faced with these dangerous maze-like traps, Gu Ziyue simply opened the giant mouth on her chest, activated her innate divine power, and swallowed all the attacks into her stomach.
Gu Ziyue's power after going berserk was indeed very strong. However, she ultimately lacked the rationality to control this power.
Therefore, she could only use brute force to cause destruction everywhere, and was repeatedly toyed with by the sword energy released by Xiao Bai.
However, Xiao Bai's situation was not very optimistic either. She had to protect Dong Mo, hold off Gu Ziyue, and constantly dodge the traps triggered by Gu Ziyue.
At the same time, she must constantly restrain her own strength to ensure that she does not unleash power beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, lest she be ejected from the secret realm by the rules of Heming Mountain.
After several rounds of fighting, she was already showing signs of fatigue.
Meanwhile, Dong Mo was staring intently at the system panel in front of him, worrying about the strategy requirements for obtaining the Devouring Heaven True Blood.
"So... what does 'infusing Daoist principles' mean? Is there such a thing as Daoist principles in the game?"
"Alright, let's try channeling some spiritual energy into it first!"
Dong Mo summoned the system panel and tried to remotely infuse spiritual power into the Devouring Heaven True Blood.
However, the progress of the strategy remained completely unchanged...
The dormant Devouring Heaven True Blood has accepted your spiritual power.
After tasting your spiritual power, the Devouring Heaven True Blood smacked its lips and felt that your spiritual power was somewhat interesting, but the amount was too small to even fill a gap between its teeth...
The Devouring Heaven True Blood rolled over and slept even more soundly.
Seeing this, Dong Mo frowned even more deeply.
Damn it, what exactly is Daoist Rhyme?
As Dong Mo was scratching his head in thought, Gu Ziyue suddenly raised her head in the distance.
It exhaled a terrifying, dark blue breath in the direction of Dong Mo.
"Young master! Be careful..."
Xiao Bai immediately stepped in front of Dong Mo, and his Purple Nether Sword trembled violently.
"The Ninth Form of the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique: Nothingness Arises!"
With a wave of her hand, Xiao Baisu's Purple Nether Sword instantly conjured countless sword shadows around her.
Following the layers of sword energy, an impenetrable shield formed in front of Dong Mo and Xiao Bai.
The azure breath struck the sword and shield, unleashing a deafening roar.
A moment later, his breath completely dissipated, and Xiao Bai, leaning on his sword, panted with a hint of fatigue on his face.
Clearly, the breath that had just been released, containing the forbidden power of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie, had made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Young Master, how long will it take for your method to be completed?"
"Don't rush, I'm thinking about it!"
Damn it... Think, think quickly! What on earth is this Daoist rhyme?!
Just then, Gu Ziyue launched another attack, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.
Xiao Bai took a deep breath, and his sword stance suddenly changed.
"The First Form of the Tranquil Sword Technique: A Mind as Pure as Ice!"
Xiao Bai unleashed a sword strike, the chilling icy sword energy drawing an arc in the air, forcefully knocking the berserk Gu Ziyue back several feet.
Looking at Xiao Bai's "Heart Like Ice" move, Dong Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Hiss... wait a minute.
Last night, when I was working on the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique and using my Double Pupil Divine Power to improve the first move...
The system reward set, the "Tranquil Mind True Understanding: Breaking Sword Style" description, doesn't it say that this move contains the essence of the sword's way?
Oh! Right... How could I have forgotten about that!
But how exactly is he going to feed this technique into Gu Ziyue's Devouring Heaven True Blood?
As Dong Mo was thinking this, he suddenly looked up and saw the gaping maw on Gu Ziyue's chest. A bold idea instantly formed in his mind.
"Xiao Bai!" Dong Mo shouted, "Can you find a way to restrict that thing's movements?"
"Movement restricted? Okay!"
Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened, and his left hand swiftly reached into his storage bag, pulling out a handful of emerald green talismans.
Then she raised her hand, and seven or eight talismans instantly transformed into streams of light, falling around Gu Ziyue and taking root on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, thick vines surged wildly from the talisman, wrapping around Gu Ziyue's limbs and torso like living creatures, binding her firmly to the spot.
Gu Ziyue struggled violently, her huge mouth opening wide as she tried to bite off the vines.
But Xiao Bai... how could he possibly let her have her way?
"Tranquil Sword Technique, Ninth Form: Eternal Icy Cold!"
Xiao Bai unleashed a barrage of icy light from his Purple Nether Sword, layers upon layers of frosty sword energy instantly freezing Gu Ziyue and the surrounding vines, turning her into an ice sculpture.
"Young Master!" Xiao Bai's voice was a little weak, "My move only has the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, it can't hold her off for too long."
"What do you want to do? Hurry up..."
Dong Mo nodded, strode forward, and habitually extended his right hand to Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai! Lend me the Purple Nether Sword."
Without hesitation, Xiao Bai handed the spirit sword to Dong Mo.
[Purple Nether Sword: Aww... Great! I'm finally back in my master's hands...]
Dong Mo ignored the pop-up window below the Purple Nether Sword and directly assumed the starting stance of the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique.
[Purple Nether Sword: Master~ Why did you have to use me to perform that arrogant and tsundere sword move, the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique?!]
[Tranquil Sword Technique: You think I'd willingly get involved with you two, you shameless swordswoman?!]
"Shut up! All of you, stop arguing!"
Dong Mo transmitted his voice sternly, "If you two don't want Xiao Bai and me to die here, you'd better cooperate with me!"
The pop-up window in front of me instantly went silent.
Dong Mo took a deep breath, and his double pupils suddenly lit up.
Everything around him seemed to slow down.
Then he recalled the true meaning of tranquility and the broken sword style that the system had instilled in him.
Then he gripped the sword hilt tightly, calmed his mind, and poured all his energy and spirit into this one sword strike.
The Purple Nether Sword emitted a deep hum in his hand.
The sword intent of the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique flowed within him, creating a subtle resonance with the sword legacy left by Sword Saint Wenxue.
With a gentle swing of his spirit sword, Dong Mo, in perfect harmony with the Purple Nether Sword and the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique, unleashed what appeared to be a casual strike that actually contained a profound understanding of the Dao of the Sword.
Although it is very superficial, it does contain the essence of Tao.
Upon witnessing Dong Mo's sword strike, Xiao Bai's heart was filled with turbulent emotions!
Because she could clearly see that the sword strike her young master had just unleashed was the complete form of the sword strike he had used to defeat Song Qiuyu on the deck yesterday.
Xiao Bai racked his brains all night but still couldn't figure out the sword strike that Dong Mo used to defeat Song Qiuyu.
But in just one night, the young master has already deduced the sword strike from yesterday to such a high level. The young master's talent and comprehension in swordsmanship are simply terrifying!
Just as Dong Mo unleashed his sword energy, Gu Ziyue, sensing the danger, broke through the ice seal, opened her massive maw, and forcefully swallowed the sword energy Dong Mo had unleashed, intending to activate the Taotie's Devouring Divine Power to completely digest it.
But Dong Mo's sword strike contained the essence of the Dao!
Even though it was devoured by Gu Ziyue, this sword still managed to harm her.
"roar……"
Gu Ziyue let out a painful roar, her massive body swayed, and she charged towards Dong Mo like a madwoman.
"Young Master!"
Xiao Bai leaped over, picked up Dong Mo, and carried her out of Gu Ziyue's attack range.
Almost at the same time, a system notification sounded in Dong Mo's mind.
[The Devouring Heaven True Blood absorbed the essence of the Sword Dao and awoke from its long slumber.]
[The affinity with the Devouring Heaven True Blood has increased!]
Current progress: 15%
Current favorability rating: Slightly surprised
Dong Mo was overjoyed. The strategy was complete!
However, the system's next response froze his smile on his face.
[Influenced by the imprinting effect of the demon beast race, the awakened Devouring True Blood mistook you for its mother upon first sight.]
[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Mother!]
Looking at the pop-up window in front of him, Dong Mo's lips twitched violently.
"Pfft... What the hell is going on?"
"System, didn't you tell me before that this Devouring Heaven True Blood has a very aloof personality? Why is it calling her 'Mom' like Junior Brother Wa?"
