Three months passed in a flash.

For cultivators, the higher the realm, the longer the cultivation time. It’s rumored that world-level experts possess incredibly long lifespans and sometimes take tens of thousands of years to comprehend a set of martial arts.

"Turns out not every statue is without breakthroughs."

Lin Mo faced the third statue, withdrew his spiritual power, and his eyes regained clarity.

This Hive Star has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, with hundreds of thousands of cultivators coming here to accept the inheritance. Lin Mo was not the first, nor the first to pass the trial on the first attempt; there were others who succeeded on their first try in front of the statues studied later, so he did not receive any additional rewards.

Yet, as with the first time, as long as the Netherworld Power perception defeated the Netherworld Beast, he would receive a strange Nether Power Map.

As long as he could successfully delineate the complete Nether Power diagram, the realm of Netherworld Pattern Master could be enhanced, and these statues were the inheritance left by the Netherworld King.

"The third Nether Power Map, if successful, I can step into the ranks of Three Seal Nether Pattern Master." There was a touch of joy in Lin Mo’s eyes.

During this time, those two old men were ignoring him, each studying a statue and beginning to observe and comprehend.

"Begin!"

Lin Mo’s palm gathered Netherworld Power, then, according to the third Nether Power Map he comprehended, his palm contained purple Netherworld Power as he began to wave his palm in the void, inscribing the third Nether Power image in his mind.

Because he was a Second Seal Nether Pattern Master, the two previous Nether Power diagrams were delineated in the void without any obstacles, but the third image obviously presented a slight pressure.

As his palm moved, inscribing the diagram based on the image in the Divine Sea, the hidden Netherworld Power within him seemed to boil over, even his skin had a burning sensation, that feeling was as if a fire was ignited inside his body, burning his flesh and bones from the inside out, causing unbearable pain.

"Ah, this is killing me." Lin Mo opened his mouth, his facial muscles twitching.

Even with his determination, confronting such burning pain of meridians, bones, and muscles, he couldn’t help but reveal an extremely painful expression.

Yet, in the face of such pain, Lin Mo did not give up. Instead, his black eyes revealed an even more resolute gleam, and the trajectory of his palm movement did not stop but continued to inscribe that extraordinarily mysterious and unique diagram in the void according to the Netherworld Map in the Divine Sea.

On his back, around the Black Snake Totem, there were already two dark purple flame imprints, and now on the other side, a slightly lighter flame imprint slowly emerged, transforming from vague to clear.

"I am not willing to give up like this." Lin Mo clenched his teeth, his gaze firm, his palm continuing to delineate that exquisite diagram.

Afterward, he finally completed the last stroke, forming the complete Nether Power image.

At the same time, Lin Mo sensed the newly born flame imprint on his back solidifying completely.

This marked his entry into the ranks of Three Seal Nether Pattern Master!

"Did I succeed?" Lin Mo felt a leap in his control over Netherworld Power.

Sitting nearby, the two elders with black and white hair suddenly opened their eyes, then swiftly appeared in front of Lin Mo, their eyes wide, staring at him like he was a monster.

"Two seniors, what’s the matter?" Lin Mo asked suspiciously.

The White-haired Elder said, "Did you comprehend the third image in just three months?"

"It’s infuriating, it took me three full years to barely manage to delineate the third Nether Power diagram." The Black-haired Elder exclaimed, widening his eyes.

Originally, the two elders thought Lin Mo would need at least one or two years to breakthrough, but unexpectedly, he broke through the confines of Three Seal Nether Pattern Master in just three months.

"I was just lucky." Lin Mo responded awkwardly to the two elders’ predatory gaze with a smile.

"Strange, strange," the Black-haired Elder shook his head.

"Curious, curious," the White-haired Elder sighed.

The two elders exchanged a glance, then, with the speed of a thunderbolt, each extended a palm to press on Lin Mo’s shoulders, a swirl of spiritual power surged into Lin Mo’s body.

Being held by the two, Lin Mo couldn’t move, and his expression turned extremely odd. Did these old guys plan to harm him?

Yet now, faced with the exploration of spiritual power by these two elders, Lin Mo felt like he was exposed naked, all his secrets laid bare before their eyes, and when their spiritual power reached his Dantian.

Suddenly, the Star Power within his Dantian automatically formed the second Star Wheel Universe Map, bursting forth with brilliant light, directly repelling their spiritual power.

The two elders withdrew their spiritual power, then exchanged glances, seeing deep shock in each other’s eyes.

"Young brother, excuse me for before, please don’t hold it against us. Here, I have a thousand Netherworld Pills for your cultivation." The Black-haired Elder’s expression changed, showing a hint of fawning, he quickly produced a Space Ring.

"I have them too, I have them too." Not to be outdone, the White-haired Elder directly produced a Space Ring, "I also have a thousand Netherworld Pills, young brother, take them, take them, don’t be modest with us two old fellows."

Lin Mo was momentarily stunned, unaware of why the two suddenly changed their attitude, and from their eyes, he saw a hint of flattery.

"Thank you, seniors." Lin Mo cupped his fist and accepted the two Space Rings without reservation.

A thousand Netherworld Pills are equivalent to ten million Netherworld Stones!

He had a feeling that if it came to a fight, he wouldn’t even be able to defeat one of those elders. Did they discover some secret in his body? Making them so respectful? Yes, with a touch of flattering respect.

"Forget the senior title, young brother, since we are destined, why not recognize each other as brothers?" The White-haired Elder promptly suggested.

"Great, great, we two are brothers, adding you, young brother, we’re three brothers." The Black-haired Elder excitedly agreed. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Before Lin Mo understood what was happening, he was pulled by the two, and then they offered a drop of Essence Blood, the trio’s Essence Blood fused together, and the White-haired Elder directly cast magic, allowing the three drops of blood to combine into one, "I am Shi’er."

"I am Shisan," said the Black-haired Elder.

"I am Lin Tanyu," Lin Mo said helplessly.

"Be brothers, never betray each other," proclaimed the White-haired Elder, as the fused Essence Blood automatically burned, turning into nothingness.

Cultivators, once making an oath, if violated, would face backlash from Heart Demons at best, and at worst, would encounter Heavenly Tribulation, turning into ashes and perishing, no chance of reincarnation.

"Alright, I am the eldest, I am called Shi’er, he is Shisan, you are Fourteen." The White-haired Elder said excitedly, looking at Lin Mo.

"Fourteen?" Lin Mo murmured, a wry smile appearing on his face, at least he knew these two elders bore him no ill will.

Wonderful, continued tomorrow.
