Omnipotent Overlord

Li Mo sat cross-legged as his body kept popping for three hours. When he stood, his body looked chiseled, and even his height grew by three inches.

Bone refining, complete.

Li Mo punched and the gale shifted the coffee table three meters from him by one inch. 

A feat purely based on body strength.

Li Mo took other ingredients from the Star Ring and refined them.

Just like Celestial Eye, the refining of bones was complete. Next was to strengthen his hearing and his organs. 

Li Mo put the refined pills the size of pigeon eggs in his ears and activated the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art.

Two hours later, he removed the pills, which were now a third smaller.

But his hearing improved tremendously.

Be it the mosquito coming in through the window upstais or the ants in the basement, he could hear them loud and clear. And his sharp hearing had a hundred-meter range.

This was only the basic ability of Earth Listening.

Once he finished cultivating Earth Listening, Li Mo stopped. 

In the vast universe, there were thousands of ways to proceed with ‘body refining’. But most of them treated it as simply strengthening the body as a whole.

Among the countless cultivation methods the past Li Mo got, only Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art was the most comprehensive when it came to body refining. Every single body part could be strengthened individually. 

Such a process was bound to be slow, but it was not without benefits. Once completed, every aspect of the body would surpass any refining made by common cultivation methods.

Of Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art’s body refining process, the inner organ step was the hardest. They were the weakest parts of one’s body and strengthening them had to be done slowly and carefully. 

Li Mo had enough ingredients to make a preliminary refining of his organs. But he did not start. He had to first wait for the refined blood to course through his organs and improve them to a certain level first.

The shortest would be a three months wait.

Li Mo went to the golem planet. Du Fei’s progress pleased him. Du Fei could now face them alone. Brilliant Fist usage became more proficient and could unleash it even in mid-air. 

The way Li Mo saw it, this was only normal for a Sacred Light Physique.

One should know that ever since he started cultivating, Du Fei actually surpassed Li Mo. He had long completed the Body Tempering Stage and was now in the Spirit Stage. The best proof was his natural use of Brilliant Fist.

It couldn’t be helped. Sacred Light Physique was one of the toughest out there and needn’t thorough refining. He could’ve just as well skipped that stage. Yet, even so, his body was strong enough to not lose to anyone.

“To use the Brilliant Fist so many times means he has the spiritual qi reserves of a 3rd layer of Spirit Stage cultivator.”

Du Fei left Li Mo pleased, but the panda and Su Qingyi left him speechless.

He’d been gone for a day and the panda’s butt was now smooth as a baby’s skin. Though compared to other wild animals, it knew shame. It got itself a grass skirt (Su Qingyi most likely made it) to cover its shame. 

The terrifying Hundred Beast King Fist of the universe was wasted on a panda who couldn’t even use it. In the three-man team, it was tasked with pulling, and Du Fei with dps-ing. Li Mo watched for a while but not once saw it attack. 

Su Qingyi left him even more dumbfounded. If not for her body, she’d only be able to use a very frail Spirit Strike. But even in her body, each time she launched a Spirit Strike, her soul would get kicked out. 

Launching one Spirit Strike then thrown out. Su Qingyi was so busy that Li Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘No even able to control her own body, her talent must be dirt poor…’

As he compared Su Qingyi with Ye Xiaolu, Li Mo sighed. It would be perfect if the two were switched. 

Li Mo left Ye Xiaolu under a rock in the Stellar Orientation Array, but the kind and naive Su Qingyi rescued her, now following Su Qingyi.

“Stop. That’s it for today. Rest.” Li Mo walked over.

Ye Xiaolu dashed the moment she saw him, launching in for a bite but got catapulted by Li Mo’s kick instead.

Du Fei’s team gathered.

“I will now teach you how to set up the Stellar Orientation Array. This is a must-know ability.”

When war engulfed the whole universe, only one person knowing of Stellar Orientation Array would be far from enough. If all his friends knew it, the danger would lessen considerably.

Stellar Orientation Array wasn’t hard to set up. It was important to have the earth qi jade to make it.

After Li Mo taught them, the panda grabbed a pile of earth qi jades and set a preliminary Stellar Orientation Array in an hour.

Of the three of them, the panda had the highest capacity for understanding.

Su Qingyi wasn’t slow either, finishing shortly after the panda. Du Fei, however, got halfway then ran to Li Mo to question him about the next step.

Li Mo was very patient in running Du Fei through the whole process again.

From afar, the dalmatian plushie remained stuck under a rock and did the only thing it could, flipping Li Mo the birdie. 

Li Mo taught Du Fei five times till the later finally remembered.

Whether the Stellar Orientation Array was set up correctly or not, the used earth qi jades were irrecoverable. So only on a planet like this, where earth qi jades were aplenty, could the trio ‘practice’ to their heart’s content.

“Brother Mo, please take the seal from sister Lu. She is so pitiful.”

While resting, Du Fei was practicing Stellar Orientation Array, the panda was reading, and Su Qingyi floated around Li Mo, pleading Ye Xiaolu’s case.

“When she doesn’t attack me, I will release her.”

“Uh, alright. I will tell her now.” Su Qingyi skipped over in glee.

But then flew back downcast.

Ye Xiaolu was far from relenting.

Li Mo took out enough food to last ten days.

“I will be gone for a few days. You all be careful.”

“Bro Mo, where you going?” Du Fei walked over.

“To my clan, to my grandfather’s birthday celebration.”

Li Mo went to the dalmatian plushie, grabbed it, and entered the Stellar Orientation Array.

Whoosh~

Li Mo’s figure vanished.

Li Mo was back in his yard and went with a struggling plushie in the living room. He went to the core of the eight-sided Spiritual Gathering Array (in the coffee table’s drawer) then threw Ye Xiaolu inside. 

He also left a paper slip on the table.
