Chapter 369 The Book of Light
The sky was bright, but the sun did not come out. A hazy atmosphere hung over the city, and a light drizzle began to fall.
Heatherine loosened her hair, restoring the strange hairstyle Qin Mo had given her to its original state. A snow-white gauze dress covered her hair, and a white veil concealed her face. She was no longer the gentle woman by the sea last night, but had returned to being a fearsome and respected saint.
"I'm going back to Rome. Where are you going next?" Heather smoothed out the wrinkles on Qin Mo's chest, which she had pressed against the floor the night before.
“I’m going back to the Temple too! The three of us made such great contributions in the White Sea, I’m certainly qualified to study the Book of Light!” Qin Mo said matter-of-factly.
The Book of Light is the highest-level scripture available for study in the inner sanctum of the temple. It is said to contain a perfect explanation of the power between heaven and earth. By studying the Book of Light, one can "find" the way for practitioners to control and communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
Although Qin Mo had already advanced to the Earth Realm and achieved control over the surrounding energy, the process of achieving this was too miraculous, so she was still very interested in the original book.
"Didn't you already have the ability to control the energy of heaven and earth? That day... I clearly felt your resonance with the power of heaven and earth." Saintess Heatherine paused for a moment, then asked with some confusion.
"But I don't understand why I suddenly learned how to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth! I only know that I received a lot of power from you that day, which made my dantian turn into crystal, but I know nothing else."
When Qin Mo had intimate relationships with Kai and Shia, their primordial yin energy greatly benefited his cultivation. However, their cultivation levels were much lower than Qin Mo's at the time, so Qin Mo's strength did not undergo a qualitative change.
But Heatherine was different. As the most special woman in the temple, her cultivation level was far higher than Qin Mo's at the time. So Qin Mo spent an entire night absorbing and digesting her primordial yin, and the benefits she gained in terms of cultivation were immeasurable.
Of course, Qin Mo, who possesses the power of stars and the body of Nirvana Flame, gave Heather even more.
“Actually… you no longer need to study the Book of Light!” Heather’s white robe covered her entire body, so Qin Mo couldn’t see her face, but the skin around her eyes had turned pink, showing her embarrassment and annoyance.
Moved by her own will, Qin Mo mobilized the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), and the soothing energy slowly swirled around the two of them.
"I do indeed know how to manipulate the power of heaven and earth, but... how did I do it?" Qin Mo stared intently into Heather's eyes, a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes.
Heather lowered her head and said softly, "Back then... when we were together, I... guided you, allowing you to feel the existence of those powers between heaven and earth through my... body!"
Heatherine's eye sockets began to bleed. "Back then... I also felt a wider world through your star vortex... and understood the essence of 'light,' so I benefited from you."
After a long pause, Qin Mo finally asked, "You mean... you are a living 'Book of Light'?"
The redness on Heather's skin faded somewhat, and she said confidently, "I have studied the Book of Light countless times, and I have some insights that are not found in the book. Do you understand? It's no use for you to study the Book of Light again, but if you insist, I will help you apply for the qualification!"
Qin Mo looked at Heather with burning eyes, as if she could see her own path to the Heavenly Realm.
"Your Highness Heatherine, I have a few very serious questions to ask you!"
Qin Mo's sudden serious expression startled Heatherine, who nodded involuntarily and straightened her posture.
"I fought valiantly for the Temple in the White Sea, resulting in the deaths of two orcish high priests. Did I study the Book of Light for this achievement?"
Heatherine sighed and said, "Alright! Since you don't believe me, I'll help you get the qualification to participate in the research of the Book of Light."
“No, no, no, Your Highness Heatherine, what I mean is... I am qualified to study the Book of Light, am I?”
"Yes, Your Highness Qin Mo, your merits are more than enough to qualify you for that!" Heather saw the cunning in Qin Mo's eyes, but how could the pure-hearted girl have imagined Qin Mo's wicked thoughts?
Qin Mo reached out and put his arm around her waist. She didn't resist, but she was a little confused as to why Qin Mo, who had just been asking her a very serious question, was now being so tender.
"My skills are still too low! Right!"
"Your strength is indeed somewhat lacking!"
"Then let me study the Book of Light more!" Qin Mo wrapped her arms around Heather's slender waist.
Heather suddenly understood Qin Mo's meaning: he wanted to study her, the living "Book of Light"!
"Bang!"
"Ouch!...It hurts!"
With a loud thud as flesh collided, Qin Mo flew through a beautiful arc for over a thousand meters before plunging into the clear waters of the Baltic Sea.
"call!"
Qin Mo surfaced, took a deep breath as usual, and looked around blankly, but there was no sign of Heatherine!
Instead of using his energy to float ashore, he started dog paddling, muttering to himself as he did so.
"Ouch! It's so cold! This feels like I've been sucked dry!"
"I've had so much blood sucked! That Prince Isabella is so scary! Is she still hiding around here?!"
