Starting with The Eagle Shooting Heroes: I gain a year's worth of skill every day.

Zhongnan Mountain.

One month ago.

Shen Mo's figure reappeared on this familiar mountain road.

The bloodshed and clamor of Zhongdu were completely dispelled by the mountain breeze.

The pines rustle in the breeze, and the clouds and mist swirl around.

He found a secluded cliff, sat cross-legged, and faced the sky.

The murderous aura that had slaughtered thousands of people slowly subsided with each breath, transforming into a deep, mysterious look in the depths of his eyes.

Shen Mo closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his thoughts.

The ripples on the ancient mirror had long since subsided, and a clear line of numbers floated silently in the air.

Good/Evil Points: 53270

The 10,000 points from killing Ouyang Feng, plus the 43,270 points from slaughtering Jin soldiers.

This is an unprecedented sum of money.

Shen Mo's thoughts landed precisely on the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" in the list of cultivation techniques.

The eleventh level is the limit of ordinary martial arts.

One step further up, and you enter a completely different world.

【Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Eleventh Level)】

[To advance to the twelfth level, 50000 Good/Evil Points are required]

Without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Mo's mind stirred.

"promote."

Good/Evil Points - 50000

boom!

In an instant, a torrent far more powerful and intense than ever before burst forth from the depths of the ancient mirror!

Click! Click-click!

Within Shen Mo's body, every bone was groaning in agony from the unbearable strain.

That violent force swept over in an instant, shattering bones into powder, only to be forcibly reshaped in the next moment!

The newly formed bones exhibited a faint jade-like color, their density and toughness surpassing the realm of the ordinary. Each bone seemed to have been forged and tempered like fine steel, its hardness exceeding that of an ordinary person by more than ten times.

The meridians were brutally torn apart and widened.

What was originally a trickle of water has been forcibly expanded into a roaring, surging Yangtze River. The resilience and carrying capacity of those meridians have reached an unbelievable level, enough to accommodate several times more innate true energy than before.

Beneath the skin, muscle fibers snapped one by one, only to frantically coalesce in a denser, more explosive structure. Each muscle fiber became as tough as dragon tendons and tiger bones, containing terrifying explosive power.

Shenmo's breathing became heavy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This pain far exceeded any previous improvement.

But he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

If the eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill granted him superhuman strength...

The twelfth level would allow his life form to undergo a fundamental leap towards a "non-human" level.

His body is being transformed into a "humanoid treasure" that can truly bear the power of the dragon and elephant.

This process lasted for a full hour.

When the torrent finally subsided and completely merged into every corner of his body, Shen Mo slowly opened his eyes.

He simply clenched his fist casually.

Boo!

The air in front of the fist was compressed by pure physical force, producing a muffled explosion.

This is not true qi, but the power of the muscles, bones, and flesh themselves.

Shen Mo felt the unprecedentedly terrifying power within his body and silently estimated its magnitude.

20,000 jin.

No, at least 25,000 jin!

It might even be close to 30,000 jin!

This is no longer a power that humans should possess.

This is the true power of a dragon and an elephant!

The innate true energy river within his body, formed from a century's worth of internal energy, still flows, but now it's more like the core that fuels this terrifying physical body.

And this physical body itself has become an indestructible and unbreakable divine weapon.

Shen Mo stood up and stretched his limbs.

The friction between the bones produced a series of subtle popping sounds, a sign that the power had reached its peak.

He looked down at his hands, and with a slight exertion of his fingers, he felt the surrounding air being compressed and distorted.

"Is this the power of the twelfth floor...?"

He muttered to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and picked up a stone the size of a millstone beside him, and gently squeezed it.

Click!

Hard rocks crumbled like tofu in his palm, turning into dust that fell silently from between his fingers.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Shen Mo's heart.

This power has completely transcended the realm of martial arts masters.

Five Wonders?

Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong... these legendary figures in the martial arts world would probably be unable to withstand even a single punch from this power.

If it really comes down to a fight, one punch will take down one kid.

Even if the patriarch Wang Chongyang were alive, with his cultivation at the Innate Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few of my punches.

It's not that Wang Chongyang wasn't strong enough.

Rather, the power brought by the twelfth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill has transcended the scope of martial arts and entered another level.

Pure, overwhelming power.

As a time traveler, he was well aware that he was different from everyone else in this world.

There is no innate Dao embryo, no extraordinary talent.

He is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has gotten to where he is today step by step with the help of the system.

In the Battle of Zhongdu, thousands of Jin soldiers were slaughtered.

If this were in my previous life, it would have been an absolutely horrific massacre.

But in this world, in this chaotic era of Jurchen invasion and widespread suffering, every Jurchen soldier was a heinous villain.

The good and evil points given by the system are the best proof.

"I am neither a saint nor a demon."

Shen Mo's voice was calm, yet carried a firm tone.

"I'm just a person of principle."

He thought of Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and the others he had escorted away from outside Zhongdu City.

I recalled the expressions of relief on the faces of Yang Tiexin and his wife.

He remembered the bag of gold ingots he had given to Guo Jing.

That's his principle.

Stop killing with killing, control violence with violence.

But we will never indiscriminately kill innocent people.

"With great power comes great responsibility... This was an empty saying in my past life, but in this world, it is a true truth."

Shen Mo looked up at the distant sky, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Now that I have this power, those wicked people who commit numerous evils will not be able to escape my eyes."

He looked at the ancient mirror again.

【Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Twelfth Level)】

[To advance to the thirteenth level, 100000 Good/Evil Points are required]

Current Good/Evil Points: 3270

One hundred thousand points.

As expected, the final level, which no one had ever mastered before, had a much higher barrier to entry than any of the previous levels.

However, the trip has already been fruitful enough.

Shen Mo considered it briefly in his mind.

One hundred thousand points means that at least another twenty thousand Jin soldiers must be slaughtered, or ten more masters of the Five Greats level must be killed.

The former is not difficult, but it is too bloody and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

The latter suited his taste better, but there were only a handful of villains at the level of the Five Greats.

"It seems we'll have to wait a little longer."

Shen Mo muttered to himself, patted his Taoist robe, and walked towards the mountain gate of the Quanzhen Sect.

"But it's good, this time is a good opportunity to get used to the power of the twelfth level."

"and……"

He remembered the little girl he had taken as his disciple.

Li Mochou.

In the original story, the Red Serpent Fairy turned from love to hatred and eventually became a female demon.

But in this world, under her own guidance, she will embark on a completely different path.

"It's time to go back and see that child."

Shen Mo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

This is one of the few genuine smiles he has shown in the past eighteen years.

Quanzhen Sect, Chongyang Palace.

When the Seven Masters of Quanzhen saw Shen Mo again after two months, everyone's eyes froze.

For no other reason than that.

They simply couldn't sense any aura emanating from Shen Mo.

It's not that it's too profound to fathom, but rather... it simply doesn't exist.

Like a stubborn rock, a withered blade of grass, an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts for a single day.

But they knew better than anyone else that this was absolutely impossible!

Two months ago, when Shen Mo left the mountain, the profound and pure internal energy he exuded was still deeply etched in their memories.

How could it have changed like this in just two months?

unless……

Ma Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes suddenly erupted with uncontrollable ecstasy.

The two words, carrying immense force, struck his mind with tremendous force.

innate!

This is the highest realm that the patriarch Wang Chongyang once reached!

They may seem like ordinary people, but once they unleash their power, the heavens and the earth will tremble!

"Junior Brother... Junior Brother..."

Ma Yu's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and a flush rose on her face. "But... have you already... stepped into the Innate Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the other six people all changed color, and then their faces lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy.

The Innate Realm!

That was the pinnacle of martial arts that Grandmaster Wang Chongyang reached after a lifetime of cultivation!

That's the true meaning of being number one in the world!

Tan Chuduan's hands trembled slightly with excitement, his voice filled with joy: "If Junior Brother truly enters the Innate Realm, wouldn't that mean..."

"He has joined the ranks of our late master!" Hao Datong chimed in, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement. "Our Quanzhen Sect has produced another Innate Grandmaster!"

Liu Chuxuan murmured to himself, his eyes reddening slightly: "Two months... just two months... my junior brother has such good fortune, it's truly... truly a blessing from heaven for our Quanzhen Sect!"

Qiu Chuji took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, but his voice still trembled: "If Junior Brother truly reaches the Innate Realm, our Quanzhen Sect will have a second Innate Grandmaster! This is a blessing for our sect, and even more so for the entire martial arts world! In the future, when we launch our Northern Expedition against the Jin and recover lost territories, our Quanzhen Sect will surely become a pillar of strength!"

Wang Chuyi was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears: "If our patriarch in heaven knew of this, he would surely smile in his grave! Our Quanzhen Sect has a worthy successor, a worthy successor indeed!"

A complex and gratified look flashed in Sun Bu'er's eyes.

She recalled the splendor of her master when he was alive.

That unpretentious and genuine demeanor, that unfathomable majesty.

And now, this young junior brother in front of me is also emanating the same aura.

No, not even...

Sun Bu'er's heart skipped a beat.

She vaguely sensed that the ethereal aura emanating from her junior brother seemed to be more profound and unfathomable than the aura of her patriarch in her memory.

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she shook her head.

Perhaps it's because my junior brother has just broken through and his aura hasn't fully stabilized yet.

Regardless, this is a wonderful event!

Shen Mo bowed slightly, performing a perfectly standard Taoist salute.

"Junior brother is safe and sound and has returned."

The six simple words clearly reached the ears of each of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

The joy on everyone's faces deepened.

This composure and calmness, this tranquility, is the demeanor of a master of innate cultivation!

Several senior brothers also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, their eyes filled with genuine joy.

They were not only happy for Shen Mo's breakthrough, but also overjoyed that the Quanzhen Sect had a second Innate Grandmaster.

This means that the Quanzhen Sect will rise again and become a significant force in the martial arts world!

Amidst this joyful atmosphere, Shen Mo raised his head, his calm and unwavering eyes sweeping over the delighted faces of his seven senior brothers, and spoke up.

"Brothers, during my time away from the mountain, has our newly initiated junior disciple, Li Mochou, been behaving quite well?"

This seemingly trivial question added a touch of warmth to everyone's joy.

Look at this! Even though Junior Brother has broken through to the Innate Realm, he still cares about the disciples of the sect. This kind of character is truly rare!

"Ah, Mochou!" Ma Yu replied with a smile, her tone full of affection. "She is very well-behaved and sensible. She practices diligently every day and never slacks off."

"It's more than just good!" Qiu Chuji laughed heartily. "This child has excellent potential and a fine character."
