54: Chapter 54 The Ancestor Agreed? SSS-Level Cultivation Technique!
Li Mo had long heard of this mental cultivation technique.
The person who created this technique lived in the same era as the New Calendar's first marshal, Marshal Yue Wuyun.
His name is Zhang Shizong!
This person is also the strongest among the few ancestors currently at Starry Sky University.
His strength has reached the peak of the Martial God realm!
He hasn't appeared in the world for nearly a hundred years, nor has he made a move in a hundred years.
Yet, no living Martial God expert dares to underestimate him.
The Chaos Star Art is his masterpiece.
This technique can comprehensively strengthen all of one's attributes and significantly increase one's cultivation speed.
These two features alone are powerful enough, but if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to qualify as an SSS-grade mental cultivation technique.
Its truly important feature is its ability to absorb the Starry Sky Meditation Chart!
For example, anyone who possesses this mental cultivation technique would not need to use the Starry Sky Meditation Chart for meditative practice when cultivating any other technique in the future.
Instead, they could directly enter a state of meditative cultivation.
Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like a particularly powerful effect.
However, according to what Li Mo has heard, after possessing the Chaos Star Art, one can achieve rapid success in cultivating any technique, and there is no upper limit to cultivating mental techniques!
What's most impressive is that the existence of the Chaos Star Art can also enhance the effects of any other mental cultivation technique.
For instance, if the Xuanwu True Art could hone Li Mo's physical body until it was as hard as steel, then after possessing the Chaos Star Art, it would be like adding a layer of the hardest diamond over that steel skin!
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shizong is known as the number one person in mental cultivation techniques in the three hundred years of the New Calendar!
To this day, no one has created a mental cultivation technique that surpasses the Chaos Star Art.
This mental cultivation technique is also the one that students entering Starry Sky University dream of obtaining.
Unfortunately, as the school's supreme treasure, Li Mo heard that very few people have ever practiced this technique.
On one hand, practicing this technique requires extremely high comprehension; anyone with even slightly inferior comprehension is prone to suffering from Qi deviation.
On the other hand, even the peerless geniuses within Starry Sky University might not be able to obtain this technique. For example, Lu Jin, as the number one person at Starry Sky University in recent years, has not cultivated the Chaos Star Art.
Otherwise, Li Mo might not necessarily have been able to defeat him!
In short, Li Mo's request could be said to be demanding the most precious thing Starry Sky University possesses.
Even school leaders like Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu have never seen this item with their own eyes!
"Li Mo, what kind of joke are you making? Let alone the fact that you have already left the school, even if you were still in school, we might not necessarily have a way to get this mental cultivation technique for you!"
"That is the Chaos Star Art! Do you know that to cultivate this technique, one must at least be ranked first in the school all year round, and most importantly, obtain the personal approval of that ancestor!"
"To date, no one has been able to obtain this mental cultivation technique for nearly twenty years!"
The price Li Mo demanded was simply too high.
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu originally thought Li Mo would just want some financial compensation or cultivation resources like vitality potions.
The Chaos Star Art?
That is worth more than gold, impossible to trade for!
A family in the capital with a net worth of over 100 billion was once willing to donate all their wealth to Starry Sky University just to catch a glimpse of the Chaos Star Art, but they did not succeed!
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "Li Mo, this is no longer just asking for the moon; it's like you don't intend to let us off at all! That ancestor is in seclusion year-round; let alone asking for the Chaos Star Art, we might not even be able to see him!"
Li Mo didn't care how difficult this matter was for these school leaders. He spread his hands and then said: "If that's the case, then there's no need to talk. After more than three hundred years, it's time for Starry Sky University to close its doors."
Li Mo's words caused Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu's heart to sink to the bottom in an instant.
Among these school leaders, if Li Mo were to turn Starry Sky University upside down, the one who would suffer the most losses would definitely be Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu.
He might not even be able to keep his position as Deputy Mayor.
"Stop!"
Seeing Li Mo turn to leave, Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu immediately shouted anxiously.
"Li Mo, I know the school treated you unfairly in the past, but we have apologized, and the compensation you are due will not be lacking. How about I tie up Huang Zhongze and Teacher Cao Yun, who expelled you back then, and leave them for you to deal with?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhongze, who was beside Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu, turned pale with fright.
He had seen Teacher Cao Yun's fate these days; he had been tortured until he wished he were dead.
He did not want to be treated like that!
Suddenly, Li Mo sat back down in his seat and gave a playful smile: "Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu, I actually don't really care about these two people."
"To tell you the truth, these past few days, several of my brothers in the military were suddenly arrested by the authorities after coming into contact with people from Starry Sky University. It looks like they are about to be executed!"
"This Chaos Star Art is exactly what they asked me to get for them!"
"I don't know what they did to deserve being executed by the authorities, but since they risked their lives and, facing death, entrusted me to get a copy of the Chaos Star Art to look at, that's not too much to ask, right?"
The few brothers in the military that Li Mo mentioned were actually the internal traitors that General Qin Fei had captured.
At this moment, Li Mo's plan was finally fully revealed.
First, he caused a scene at Starry Sky University, deliberately acting extremely arrogant, just to numb everyone and make people think he was here for revenge.
Then, he negotiated with these high-level school leaders, portraying those internal traitors as his brothers, and directly demanded an exorbitant price like the Chaos Star Art.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't fear greed; one should fear a lack of greed.
Li Mo's behavior was tantamount to making the internal traitors at Starry Sky University believe even more that he and the group of traitors in the military were colluding, which would cause them to lower their guard against him.
After finishing speaking, Li Mo immediately scanned the crowd, observing their reactions.
The internal traitors at Starry Sky University were likely among these high-level leaders.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Mo finished speaking, these school leaders all displayed different expressions—some were terrified, some suspicious, and some fearful.
It was impossible to tell anything just from their expressions; these people were all sly old foxes and wouldn't reveal too much emotion.
Li Mo was luring the snake out of its hole, waiting for the internal traitor to come to him.
Only now did Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu understand the severity of the situation. If people in the military really died because of Starry Sky University, then Li Mo would essentially be at an impasse with Starry Sky University, fighting until the end.
If they didn't satisfy his exorbitant demand, Starry Sky University would undoubtedly be doomed!
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu gritted his teeth fiercely; at this point, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it meant treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
As the only leader of Starry Sky University to enter the political sphere, Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu was likely the only person who could contact Zhang Shizong.
"Li Mo, the Chaos Star Art is in the ancestor's hands. According to the rules, I can only get the Chaos Star Art from him to give to you after the ancestor's consent! If he doesn't agree, then there is nothing I can do!"
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu could not sit idly by and watch Li Mo destroy the school, so he immediately contacted Zhang Shizong via a dedicated line.
In reality, Li Mo never thought he could actually obtain the Chaos Star Art. He had no relationship with Zhang Shizong, and he had caused such a scene at Starry Sky University; how could a dignified Martial God at the peak of his power hand over the Chaos Star Art to him?
He was just following his plan to lure out the internal traitor—first setting an exorbitant price, then slowly lowering it, waiting for the traitor to take the initiative to contact him.
However, the development of events exceeded Li Mo's expectations.
After Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu finished his call with Zhang Shizong, he had an expression of disbelief.
"The ancestor... agreed!"
