Omnipotent Overlord

Taiji(Supreme) gave birth to Duality(yin and yang). Duality gave birth to the Four Phases. The Four Phases gave birth to the Eight Trigrams, which were heaven, thunder, water, mountain, earth, wood, fire, swamp.(T/N: Chinese’s myth on how the world came to be.

Li Mo’s eight-sided Spiritual Gathering Array was placed taking into account the directions, the location of the array’s core, and refining the items needed. It took him three full days to complete it and finished in the evening. 

The spiritual qi started pouring in from the eight directions, making it certain that this place would one day become a natural immortal’s paradise.

Not only now but even in antiquity, such places were beyond rare and most of them artificial. A true natural immortal paradise was exceedingly rare. 

What was an immortal’s paradise? Not only a place teeming with spiritual qi, but also of much purer quality. A place fit for all cultivators. There existed many places where spiritual qi mixed despite being dense and instead of helping the cultivator it worked against him.

The eight-sided Spiritual Gathering Array would gather, purify and even provided the one type of spiritual qi one needed the most. So placing this array would definitely turn this area into a place no less than a natural immortal’s paradise.

Within the limits of the environment of course. If he found a natural immortal’s paradise and placed a ten-sided Spiritual Gathering Array, the effect would be higher than the eight-sided one by hundreds of times.

Li Mo stood in his garden, feeling the rushing spiritual qi. His hand lifted, his fist brandished and the earth shook

Inside the array, Li Mo could transfer all its spiritual qi for his use. Under these circumstances, his powers were greatly boosted.

“I don’t need to fear even a Divine Sea Stage expert with this array.”

Li Mo withdrew his control and the spiritual qi scattered.

The past Li Mo held the Human’s race ancestral artifact and was hounded by the races of the universe for a full three centuries. Without some measure of protection, he would’ve long since died. 

Living room.

Su Qingyi was practicing the Corpse Controlling Art by standing on one leg and lifting the other above her head, one hand was in front and the other in the back. She was thus seen jumping around the place.

Li Mo watched speechless.

‘This girl can do anything but cultivate. So many days passed but not one bit of progress went into the Corpse Controlling Art.’

Li Mo took out the big panda from the drawing.

The panda looked around the living room and watched Su Qingyi puzzled.

Over the past few days it had always mulled over Li Mo’s memories. But a human’s knowledge was too complicated and it barely understood anything.

It lived all its life on Daliang Mountains and of all the humans it encountered none of them acted like the one in front of it.

“Panda? Where did it come from, brother Mo?”

Su Qingyi jumped over and scared the panda into hiding behind him. It was both fat and bulky, making him twice as large as Li Mo. It was quite the funny sight seeing it hide behind him.

“Daliang Mountains.”

“T-that’s a crime!” Su Qingyi jumped in fright, literally.

“Not really. I didn’t force it.”

“She is Qingyi. When I’m not here, make sure to listen to her. As for him…

“Why don’t I just call you Lardy?”

The panda scratched its head confused, and pointed at itself.

“Lardy is your name. Just how my name is Li Mo, and my Daoist name is Arcane(T/N: Xuanqing= arcane). She is Su Qingyi. “

The panda began to count on its claws. After a good while, it scratched its head with both of them.

‘Li Mo Arcane Li, Su Qingyi Qingyi? Why were human names so queer…’

“Brother Mo, Lardy isn’t a nice name. I think Plumpy is better.”

“Plumpy? Not bad.” Li Mo nodded.

‘Lardy, Plumpy?’ The panda was counting again.

“I just awoke his mind. It will take some time to reach a human’s level through slow teaching. Qingyi I will leave teaching him to you.”

“En, I felt like he listened to me. 

Su Qingyi jumped next to the panda and used the other leg to rub his head, but her skill was so poor, she could only tap him a few times.

“Ah.” Su Qingyi suddenly collapsed. Her time was up.

The panda jumped in fright.

“Plumpy, you will have to listen to me from now on, understand?” Su Qingyi’s soul floated before it.

“Wu~” The panda’s eyes rolled into its head and collapsed from fear.

Li Mo gave him the memories of a common human. And any common human would take the same stance when seeing a ghost.

‘So that’s why it faked death. It’s heart is that of a chicken.’ Li Mo suddenly realized.

Su Qingyi worked hard on controlling her body next to an unconscious panda. Li Mo pondered a bit then went to his bedroom.

He took out the yellow seal and released Ye Xiaolu.

The warding animal disappointed him so much he could only put his hopes on Ye Xiaolu.

Just as Ye Xiaolu appeared, the entire bedroom was flooded with a bloody red color.

“Rotten man, I will kill you!”

Li Mo pointed and she froze in mid air.

Inside the eight-sided array, Ye Xiaolu no longer had the power to resist him.

“I want to kick your balls, to snap your cucumber. I won’t let you hurt anyone else. Kill~, I will kill all of you bastards!”

Ye Xiaolu wailed as it rushed at Li Mo, but the only thing she could do was scream.

“How peculiar. If her awareness wasn’t intact, then her memories shouldn’t have been preserved. But she did keep her awareness, so why is she so insane?” Li Mo frowned.

“Brother Mo, Plumpy locked himself in the bedroom on the second floor. It won’t come out no matter what I say. If I go in, it might faint again. What do I do?”

As Li Mo was racking his brains over Ye Xiaolu’s matter, Su Qingyi pushed the door with her leg and skipped inside.

“Ah, what is this?” Su Qingyi’s body crumbled like a sack of potatoes.

“You’re a bastard just like Zhang Ding! I must kill you!”

Ye Xiaolu saw Su Qingyi’s soul and the bloody aura around her grew. With a wail, she broke out of Li Mo’s control and jumped at him.

Li Mo pointed two fingers and froze her again.

Li Mo was stunned by Ye Xiaolu’s ravings all over the place.

‘Just what level is this wraith? Not even Soul Subduing Art can hold it?’

‘Eh?’

Her words were quite clear and it was obvious she was anything but insane.

Li Mo’s eyes shined.

Li Mo asked, “Ye Xiaolu, what is it between you and Zhang Ding?”

“I want to crush your balls, snap your cucumber. I want to make you so that you can’t hurt anyone else…”

“Ye Xiaolu, I heard you were a superstar?”

“I want to crush your balls, snap your cucumber. I want to make you so that you can’t hurt anyone else…”

“I want to crush your balls, snap your cucumber. I want to make you so that you can’t hurt anyone else…”

Li Mo was silent.

‘I can’t get through to her.’

Su Qingyi floated over, “Sister Ye, brother Mo is not a bad man. He is good, he saved me.”

“B*******! No man is good! Step aside and watch as I crush his balls, twist his cucumber.”

‘Eh? She talks with Su Qingyi?’

Just as Li Mo thought he got a break, Ye Xiaolu’s bloody aura burst stronger and broke out of his Soul Subduing Art.

She lifted her heel and kicked the balls.

Li Mo didn’t move and Ye Xiaolu’s kick passed right through him.

She reached for the cucumber to twist it but came out empty.

Ye Xiaolu was a soul, and even if she could become real, it was still useless. Li Mo’s power far exceeded hers.

“Ah~”

Ye Xiaolu was enraged, kicking for a good while and out of desperation, she entered Su Qingyi’s body.

Su Qingyi stood up and her eyes turned red as it jumped at Li Mo. 

She reached, she grabbed, she snapped the cucumber!

“Ha!”
