Li Mo seemed like a wandering spirit or wild ghost in the ancient Cultivation World, unknown and enigmatic, yet traces of his presence were left everywhere.
Many sects realized that Luo Qiuzi's true identity was highly likely to be the Upper Immortal.

Unknowingly, a hundred years had passed.
Li Mo visited the Heavenly Sword Sect and witnessed the unfolding of its Sword Trial Tournament.
