Return of Abandoned son Vol.9

Chapter 601 - Joint visit

Seeing Ye Mo being so polite to him, Luo Yujian felt surprised and overwhelmed. But he immediately realized it was because he casually helped his family before.

Before, it was just a spontaneous idea to help. Realizing this, Luo Yujian regretted not helping them more. He just admired that Ye Mo was able to get into the 36th domain, so he helped Su Jingwen.

Although he got Ye Mo’s good impression, he didn’t feel he could say someone like Ye Mo’s name, so he saluted with his fists. “In that case, I’ll call you brother Ye. Brother Ye, because we in West Cultivator City have the least number of truth realisation state cultivators in the West Extreme State, please have mercy on palace lord Yu.”

Ye Mo knew what he meant. Truth realisation state cultivator meant power, if human cultivators fought with other powers, truth realisation state cultivators were a decisive power. If he killed two truth realisation state cultivators here, he would be weakening the power of the West Cultivator City.

If Yu Zhongtong still didn’t know that now was his chance, he would have lived so long for nothing.

He quickly took out a storage ring and gave it to Ye Mo. “Ye qian bei, this is 600 million extreme grade spirit stones and one extreme grade segmented earth. If qian bei think it’s not enough, wan bei will go get more spirit stones.”

Although he knew that his things were enough for 1 billion spirit stones, the most powerful people in the West Cultivator City weren’t here. If Ye Mo wanted to kill him, there was really nothing he could do.

That extreme grade segmented earth was just what Ye Mo needed, it was used for setting up long distance teleportation formations.

Ye Mo took the things and said, “That will be fine, on account of city lord Luo, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I will pull out the spirit range under your palace next time.”

Hearing this, Yu Zhongtong shivered thinking this sort of qian bei did weird things indeed, pulling out even spirit ranges.

“Martial uncle Ye, these are the proofs for the three bets. One is for Jingwen sister, one is for me and one is for sister Yan Yan.” Yue Chan quickly gave the three jade slips to Ye Mo. Ye Mo scanned them. How could he not know what Yue Chan was thinking? He gave the jade slips to Yu Zhongtong and took out two storage rings, one for Yue Chan and one for Yan Yan.

Yue Chan did all this for the spirit stones and happily took it. She even pretended to not see the signal her master was giving her. She had never imagined to get 100 million spirit stones but now she got it. Even her master wasn’t as rich as her.

“Brother Ye, would you have the time to come to the city lord estate for a chat?” Luo Yujian saluted with his fists.

Ye Mo quickly said, “Thank you brother Luo, I still have other things to do. I will be still staying here for another month, if you need anything you can come find me at West Moon Hotel.”

Luo Yujian helped Su Jingwen and them casually but it was just a small help. He didn’t truly care if Su Jingwen and them died. So he would go help Luo Yujian if he needed but he didn’t want to waste time to go chat with him in the city lord estate.

Ye Mo was planning to go to God Beast Mountain Range to see if that third God Lord got the Ice Carrot. Either way he was about to leave West Extreme State.

Luo Yujian saw this and felt pity. He really wanted to connect with Ye Mo but Ye Mo didn’t seem interested in staying in West Cultivator City for long. It seems he would have to go visit him personally at the West Moon Hotel.

Just when Luo Yujian wanted to leave, a flaming red messenger flying sword flew into his hands. Luo Yujian looked at it and his face changed drastically. He took a step and left quicker than Ye Mo.

Seeing this, Ye Mo didn’t care. He was going to take them to annihilate Xi Zhong Merchant Association, but when he arrived there, he realized that the merchant association dispersed as soon as Meng Sha was dead.

No one wanted to stay in Xi Zhong Merchant Association.

...

When Ye Mo and them got back to the Xi Yue hotel, news that the cultivator who went to the 36th domain didn’t die spread throughout the entire city.

The stories got more and more absurd that eventually, it became that Ye Mo used a cultivation essence giant hand and easily crushed Meng Sha.

No matter what, two things were real – Meng Sha was killed and that absurd cultivator was in West Moon Hotel.

In terms of fame, no place was more famous than West Moon Hotel. The owner of the hotel couldn’t stop smiling.

There were countless cultivators flocking to West Moon Hotel but they were all rejected by the owner of the hotel. The reason was simple, the qian bei’s cultivation must not be disturbed. The West Moon Hotel was scared that Ye Mo would go another place after seeing so many people.

This wasn’t it, a cauldron filling state cultivator was sent to watch nearby for ruckus. He was there to stop any people from disturbing the powerful qian bei inside.

Countless people roamed outside the hotel but it was impossible to go in.

However today, the owner was troubled. The people who came to visit Ye Mo together were too powerful, one was the second city lord Yue Ming, 5th vice city lord Luo Yujian, one of the two association leaders of Xing Cultivator Association Wang Xie, and the number one merchant association of West Cultivator City West Cultivator Merchant Association’s number one paid guest Niu Ruyang were all here.

With them here, the owner didn’t have the power to stop them all outside. He could only ask them to wait outside while he reported.

Just when he didn’t know how to explain to Ye Mo he heard Ye Mo’s voice. “Since they’re all here, let them come.”

These words were like heavenly music for the owner.

Usually, these four people would be furious if anyone dared to tell them to wait but they weren’t angry at all now.

Luckily, the owner told them Ye Mo would see them.

...

Ye Mo guess why they came to see him but he was still a little surprised to see them all come together.

Luo Yujian introduced the other people to Ye Mo.

Yue Ming was the only female cultivator, she was pretty and spoke softly. Ye Mo didn’t expect a woman like her to be the number two city lord here. She was much more powerful than Luo Yujian, she was truth realisation state level seven.

Wang Xie was the person who invited Ye Mo to join Xing Cultivator Association. His age was indistinguishable but he didn’t seem old. He was the strongest of the four, truth realisation state level nine.

Niu Ruyang seemed very honest but he was truth realisation state level eight.

Ye Mo greeted them and the first thing Wang Xie did was take out a blue wooden box to Ye Mo. “Brother Ye, this is a small gift from the Xing Cultivator Alliance to connect with brother Ye. Please take it.”

Ye Mo felt strange – why Wang Xie would give him a gift the first time he saw him? Did he still want him to join the Xing Cultivator Association?

Wang Xie still wanted to invite Ye Mo to join them when he first came out of the 28th domain, but now he knew that a powerful being like Ye Mo wasn’t going to join them.

Seeing this, Yue Ming and Niu Ruyang each took out a jade box for Ye Mo and spoke the same words as Wang Xie.

They each had spirit sense restrictions but they were very simplistic. Ye Mo’s spirit sense blade easily swiped through and saw what was inside.

Wang Xie’s jade box contained a green blade, it was a low grade immortal artifact. Ye Mo was shook and thought about why Wang Xie gave him such precious gift.

However, low grade immortal artifact was far from as precious as his Zi Xu so he didn’t get truly moved.

Yue Ming’s gift represented the city lord estate. Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense in, it was a Mei Sha Flame. It was ranked 13th in the cultivation realm. However, he just glanced at it and lost interest.

Niu Ruyang’s jade box had about 10 drops of ten thousand year stalagmite marrow. It was extremely precious to other people, but to him it was nothing.

Ye Mo lost interest in all three boxes and frowned. “What do you guys mean? I’m just passing by the city but you guys give me such precious gifts, I don’t think I can take them.”

The four were dazed, Ye Mo didn’t even open these jade boxes and said he couldn’t take these gifts. What did he mean? They wouldn’t dare to believe Ye Mo’s spirit sense could pierce the spirit sense restrictions.

Wang Xie seemed surprised. If Ye Mo saw the things, it would be much easier for them to talk.

But Ye Mo didn’t even open them and rejected them.

Seeing this, he got up and saluted with his fists. “Brother Ye, it’s this, we Xing Cultivator Alliance took out this gift wanting to invite brother Ye to be our grand paid elder....”

Wang XIe paused here but Ye Mo knew what he meant. Ye Mo waved his hand. “I’m going to leave the West Cultivator City soon, I’m not too interested in your association’s grand paid elder position.”

Wang Xie continued, “I know brother Ye can’t stay at our association but this time, we brought a low grade immortal artifact just to connect with brother Ye. Please, don’t think it’s too low of a gift.”

Then Wang Xie looked at Ye Mo’s face. He said this because no cultivator, not even truth realisation state peak stage, would be able to hear the words ‘immortal artifact’ and sit calmly. But he was disappointed to find that Ye Mo’s face was very calm, as though he could buy the likes of low grade immortal artifacts on the streets any time.

Yue Ming and them were more shocked, the Xing Cultivator Association was even willing to bring out the low grade immortal artifact, were their gifts too shabby?

Ye Mo sneered, he knew that this Wang Xie wasn’t that generous. A generous cultivator wouldn’t create a bloody place like the Xing Cultivator Alliance. Plus, he knew the reason that taking someone’s things meant he had to go help him.

Seeing Yue Ming about to speak, Ye Mo stopped her and said, “Just tell me the purpose of coming here, if I can help I will help but if not, then please leave.”

If he wasn’t going to leave Su Jingwen and them here for a while when he went to the God Beast Mountain Range, he would’ve rejected them straight away.

Yue Ming’s eyes flashed with a sliver of helplessness and he could only say, “Brother Ye, you probably know of the West Extreme Sand River right?”

Ye Mo nodded, he heard from Yan Yan that other than the demon lands, the sand river was the largest. It was also a very dangerous place.

Yue Ming said immediately, “There has been no one able to ascend into the immortal realm for a few thousand years here. I heard that it’s the same with the other states. Even if you reach truth realisation state peak stage, you can’t feel the immortal ascension divine damnation.”

Ye Mo heard about this and immediately began to take notice. With enough cultivation resources, it wouldn’t take long for him to reach truth realisation state.

Seeing Ye Mo’s interest, Yue Ming said, “The Xing Cultivator Association has been searching all the big ruins and ancient cultivation homes in West Extreme State. Even in the sand river, there are many people from the Xing Cultivator Association, so they know the most amount of ancient cultivation ruins. A year ago, they found a sealing ground in the sand river.”

Wang Xie continued, “Yes, a disaster transformation state peak stage cultivator from our association found it, he’s called Chong Yu. He’s also a level seven formation grand master. He said that the seal was a dimension seal. Such seals are very rare in the cultivation world.”

Ye Mo glanced at Wang Xie. “Since it’s a dimension seal, how do you guys know about it?”

With Ye Mo’s formation skills he knew what it was. Dimension seals weren’t something ordinary cultivators could notice. Even if you walked past it, you wouldn’t be able to see it. Even he might not be able to see it.

Wang Xie quickly explained, “It was a coincidence that Chong Yu was able to see it. He stayed in the sand river for too long and saw hallucinations. He attacked the hallucination with his magic artifact. The two cultivators with him quickly stopped him. Chong Yu woke up soon and said he felt other spirit power in the dimension.”

Ye Mo frowned. Usually, there wouldn’t be other spirit power waves if you attacked an empty place with your own cultivation essence as there were no obstructions.

Seeing Ye Mo’s suspicion, Wang Xie quickly said, “The other two with Chong Yu didn’t believe it either but Chong Yu kept attacking with his magic artifact, and indeed, a dimension seal was revealed sometime after under the attacks. When news got back, association leader Zhuo and I felt this wasn’t simple, so association leader Zhuo went to check it personally. It was indeed a dimension seal and it was only tip of the iceberg.

After association leader Zhuo checked the seal, he came to the conclusion that this seal sealed us West Extreme State from going to other dimensions. This meant that as long as this seal was present, we West Extreme State cultivators would be forever unable to ascend to another dimension, the immortal realm.”

Ye Mo fell silent, it was too absurd that someone could stop the cultivators of this realm from immortal ascension. Just how much power was needed to do that? Even if he reached truth realisation state peak stage, he wouldn’t be able to seal the tip of the iceberg of a realm. This had nothing to do with formation skills.

Seeing Ye Mo fall silent, Yue Ming said, “Due to this, we’ve sent five truth realisation state cultivators and even the God Beast Mountain Range and Heartless Forest sent five truth realisation state each just to break this seal.”

Ye Mo thought that the big and second God Lord weren’t at the God Beast mountain ranges, it seemed they went to the sand river.

Wang Xie said, “Brother Ye might not believe it, but once a sliver of the seal was opened, the inside was filled with immortal crystals. The city lord of West Cultivator City even suspects that there’s an immortal range below supplying the power to this seal...”

“Immortal crystals? Immortal range?” Ye Mo couldn’t keep calm anymore and got up abruptly.

He wanted to help with the seal but that wasn’t enough to attract him to go. He wasn’t some savior, he was thinking if there was the same seal in South Peace State.

He only needed one immortal crystal to break through one level. If he got so many immortal crystals and even one immortal range, everyone around him would be able to cultivate very fast.

Wang Xie quickly said, “That’s right, immortal crystals. As for an immortal range, it’s city lord Xie’s guess.”

At this moment, the owner of the hotel notified anxiously, “The third God Lord of God Beast Mountain Range came to visit, saying he has what master Ye needs.”

Hearing this, Ye Mo rejoiced and said, “Invite him in, quick.... No, I’ll go myself.”

Then Ye Mo went out desperately.

Chapter 602 - Battle of domain

“Hahaha...” before Ye Mo walked out of the door, third God Lord Jiao Huanzheng’s laughter sounded. He quickly came up and saluted with his fists. “Brother Ye, I finally got what you needed. Brother Ye have a look, is this it.”

Then, Jiao Huanzheng took out an icy cold jade box to Ye Mo. Ye Mo took it and immediately knew it was an Ice Carrot. He scanned his spirit sense in and immediately knew that it was only picked a few days ago.

In his joy, Ye Mo quickly took it and said with extreme gratitude, “Brother Jiao, you’ve really helped me out a great deal. If you need anything for me to do, just ask me, I will do it to the best of my ability.”

Ye Mo was truly grateful. This third God Lord didn’t seem to have a good temper but he did things quickly. Before he even went to God Beast Mountain Range, he brought the things over. Ye Mo knew that someone like third God Lord wouldn’t be beaten here, but the West Cultivator City and God Beast Mountain Range didn’t have a very harmonious relationship.

The Ice Carrot was too important to him, now that he had a few more extreme grade spirit ranges, he would be able to barely reach disaster transformation state peak stage. Once he was disaster transformation state peak stage, he would need pills to reach truth realisation state. Jiao Huanzheng giving him the Ice Carrot was like giving him truth realisation state.

Jiao Huanzheng felt Ye Mo’s hospitality and was surprised but he quickly said, “It was my fortune that I could connect with someone like brother Ye. I came here firstly to bring the present over, but secondly to ask brother Ye to help concoct a few Truth Marrow pills.”

Jiao Huanzheng was straightforward too and spoke of his desire before he even sat down.

Wang Xie and them were already very shocked seeing that the third God Lord came here personally but now that they heard him ask Ye Mo to concoct the Truth Marrow Pill, they all got up in shock.

“Brother Ye can really concoct the Truth Marrow Pill?” Wang Xie sucked in a cold breath.

Third God Lord then saluted to Wang Xie and them. “Jiao greets you guys. In order to see brother Ye quickly I came here without notice, please forgive me.”

Yue Ming saluted back. “It’s fine, it’s fine...” She looked at Ye Mo in more shock.

Truth Marrow Pill was an extreme grade pill for truth realisation state cultivators to recover cultivation essence and injuries. Truth realisation state cultivators were the most powerful beings in the cultivation realm but they had an extreme weakness. If they were injured or depleted in power, it would cost a huge amount of spirit stones and time to recover their cultivation essence, but Truth Marrow Pill made up for this. However, it was a level nine heaven grade pill.

Yue Ming and them were shocked because if Ye Mo could concoct it, then he was a level nine pill king.

“Brother Ye, you’re a level nine pill king...” Niu Ruyang didn’t speak much but even he was shocked now. a level nine pill king sat before him. This was more shocking than him passing the 36th domain.

Jiao Huanzheng just realized that the people here didn’t know Ye Mo was a level eight pill king so he said with satisfaction, “Brother Ye is now at level eight pill king peak, it will just be a moment for him to reach level nine pill king. It’s fine, we have a lot of spirit herbs for Truth Marrow pills. Brother Ye, you can try all you want, we’ll come again if it didn’t work.”

Ye Mo’s mouth spasmed upon hearing these words. Only he would be able to say that he had plenty of materials for the Truth Marrow Pill.

Now that Ye Mo got Ice Carrot, he was feeling extremely well. He had never felt so good before. He let Jiao Huanzheng sit down before saluting to the rest of the people. “That’s right, I’m not a level nine pill king yet, I’m only a level eight pill king, but I should be fine concocting Truth Marrow Pill for brother Jiao.”

Ye Mo wasn’t bluffing. He had wasted nearly 20 level nine spirit herbs in the hotel, it would only be a short time for him to reach level nine pill king.

Ye Mo was really a level nine pill king? Wang Xie and them took a cold breath in. They didn’t know it at all but the dimwitted third God Lord knew instead.

They immediately became excited. Level nine pill king – if they connected well with Ye Mo, only one cauldron of pills would be enough for them.

It was very hard for truth realisation state cultivators to cultivate. Other than the lack of resources, it was due to the lack of level nine heaven pills.

Although there were four or five truth realisation state cultivators here, only one used pills to reach truth realisation state and that was Wang Xie. The rest of them used powerful spirit herbs – but how many of those spirit herbs were there? It was also very dangerous to use just spirit herbs to reach truth realisation state. The potency of the herbs might be too strong and it was very easy to die.

The West Extreme State had an abundance of spirit herbs. There were ample high level spirit herbs – otherwise, there would only be a few truth realisation state here.

Suddenly, Yue Ming thought of something and asked, “Third God Lord, do you suddenly need brother Ye to concoct Truth Marrow pills to go to sand river?”

Third God Lord’s eyes turned sad. “That’s right, our big God Lord was heavily injured at the sealing grounds and his cultivation essence hasn’t recovered. I need to ask brother Ye to concoct Truth Marrow pills so I can go there.”

Luo Yujian also said to Ye Mo, “Brother Ye, it’s indeed so. Not long ago, we also got a messenger flying sword saying that the third city lord of West Cultivator City is also heavily injured. So, we came to invite you.”

“Brother Ye is going to sand river too?” Third God Lord looked at Ye Mo in confusion, he wasn’t a West Extreme State cultivator, why would he intervene in such thing?

Before Ye Mo could reply, a crisp female cultivator’s voice sounded, “Jiao Huanzheng, if you don’t come out in three seconds I will tear this shabby hotel down.”

Hearing this voice, Jiao Huanzheng’s face changed and he charged out without even telling Ye Mo.

Ye Mo and them followed out too. Yue Ming and them came too. Who dared to say such a thing here?

...

Two pretty women stood outside the hotel. They didn’t seem old but Ye Mo knew that the red robed woman couldn’t be young. She was truth realisation state level seven peak.

The woman behind her wore a blue dress and Ye Mo felt she was only 20 years old, but her power was hollow spirit state level one. Her talent was on the same level as Jing Yingli.

Other than absurd talent, her beauty was on par with Su Jingwen. Her long hair laid behind her back and she stood there perfectly behind the red robed woman. She didn’t say anything and had a frigid chi.

“Sister Feihuan...” Jian Huanzheng’s face was very bad.

The red robed woman said in contempt, “Jiao Huanzheng don’t try to get close to me, give me my Ice Carrot and tie yourself up and apologize at my Snow Forest Pond or I will slice your dragon head off today.”

Then, she released two snow white magic artifacts, each with a ice flower on it.

With this, the space around there froze. Moments later, there were even cracking sounds in the air. The cultivators watching on the side quickly retreated. Ye Mo immediately knew that this domain was in great completion, this was a frozen domain. Jiao Huanzheng was no match for her.

Ye Mo was going to watch and help Jiao Huanzheng later, but now he had to stand out as it involved the Ice Carrot.

He walked out and said politely, “Sister, if there’s anything, please come have a talk inside. If brother Jiao offended you, I will apologize to you for him.”

Then Ye Mo saluted with his fists.

The red robed woman sneered. “What thing are you, how dare you call me sister? Pfft.”

Then, her frost domain swept at Ye Mo. Ye Mo was such a young cultivator, at most hollow spirit state. Clearly he was no good guy to be with Jiao Huanzheng – so what if she killed him?

Ye Mo felt this domain’s force and his face changed. This woman was so cruel! If it was some ordinary person, how could they survive? Even if they were to survive, they would be heavily injured and their cultivation life would be over.

Ye Mo’s fury rose and so did his power. His domain expanded out and at the same time he released Zi Xu. This was the first time he fought with a truth realisation state tertiary stage.

Seeing Ye Mo dare to release his magic artifact, the red robed woman looked contemptuous. The killing intent in her eyes grew. Just when she wanted to tear Ye Mo apart with her domain, there were light cracking sounds.

---

The cracking sound was small but those stronger cultivators nearby could all hear it. Those truth realisation state cultivators were shocked, this was the sound of domain shattering.

Only domains that were near great completion would have this cracking sound. Everyone saw the power of the red robed woman’s domain. It was dominating, but they didn’t see Ye Mo do anything at all and that red robed woman’s domain shattered.

The only explanation was that Ye Mo used his own domain to shatter it. Using one’s own domain to shatter another’s domain – how great was the mastery in domain? Great completion or even better? The red robed woman’s domain couldn’t resist Ye Mo’s domain at all.

Ye Mo’s power was too astonishing – but then they remembered that Ye Mo was the absurd cultivator who passed the Heaven 36 Domains and realized it didn’t seem all that absurd.

Seeing this, the red robed woman’s face changed. Even a truth realisation state peak stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to break her domain without even moving.

Immediately, she felt a confinement of dimension, it grew bigger and bigger. She even had the feeling that eventually, she might not even be able to move.

She didn’t dare to hesitate and sliced out her dual blades with full power.

Howling sounds flew in the air, it was like the coldest winter, when blizzards howled. Two mist-like beams sliced across the space between them looming over Ye Mo.

Ye Mo also heard the cracking sound. He knew his domain that hadn’t formed yet cracked under this attack.

He knew that his domain was still too weak against truth realisation state tertiary stage cultivators. He used Zi Xu immediately too.

An extremely vibrant purple ray sliced across the air towards the red robed woman.

Illusion Cloud Hua Mountain Strike, the killing intent she had for Ye Mo made Ye Mo also have killing intent. Ye Mo was never going to show mercy to those who wanted to kill him.

The cultivators nearby saw the extremely vibrant purple ray and were mesmerized. But those truth realisation state cultivators saw clearly that this purple ray had the determination to kill.

*Rumble*

The two clashed together. White mist and purple sword rays splashed everywhere. Those cultivators nearby immediately felt very cold and all used their defense magic artifacts without hesitation.

*Crack*

Zi Xu was slowed down but the dual blades were hacked away.

In her shock, the woman barely used a middle grade cultivation artifact shield in time.

*Crack*

Another thud and the shield was hacked apart due to lack of cultivation essence. Finally, Zi Xu’s momentum stopped.

The woman immediately spat blood and flew out a few hundred meters before stopping. That cold blue dressed woman finally began to worry and charged up, asking, “Master are you okay?”

Zi Xu came back to Ye Mo’s hands with the woman’s blood but Ye Mo didn’t stop there. He took a step forward and his power rose drastically.

The cultivators watching were all shook. A truth realisation state level seven cultivator, couldn’t even last seven minutes and was injured.

The blue robed girl had a terrified look seeing that Ye Mo was going to keep attacking but before she said anything, third God Lord came up to Ye Mo. “Thank you brother Ye for helping, but please have mercy.”

Ye Mo looked at him in confusion. “This person wanted to kill you but you still want to give her mercy?”

Third God Lord smiled bitterly, “I did steal the Ice Carrot from her. I thought she wouldn’t notice so early. By the time I would have come back from sand river, even if she knew big brother and second brother would help me. However, I didn’t expect her to follow me right here.”

“And she’s the owner of the Snow Forest Pond, she can’t be killed. I won’t’ explain the reason, it’s too complicated.”

Ye Mo nodded and put away Zi Xu.

Seeing this, third God Lord rejoiced and said to Ye Mo quickly, “Brother Ye you’re really a good friend, thank you.”

“Ruofei, move aside.” The red robed woman called back her weapon and said coldly, “If I wasn’t careless, how could I be injured so easily? If you want to fight again, very well – let’s fight again.”

Ye Mo ignored her. If she dared to fight again he wasn’t going to show mercy. He took her Ice Carrot but she tried to take his life.

The blue robed girl changed the topic. “Master, let’s go greet paid elder Niu.”

The red robed woman nodded. “Go!”

However Niu Ruyang already walked over and greeted the red robed woman politely. “Goddess Mu, long time no see, you’re still as beautiful as ever.”

The red robed woman grunted but didn’t say anything.

The blue robed girl quickly said, “Ruo Fei greets uncle Niu.”

Ye Mo looked at the girl in confusion.

Seeing this, third God Lord thought Ye Mo was interested in her. After all, when he came to the God Beast Mountain Range he had quite a lot of pretty women next to him. So, he explainly quietly to Ye Mo, “Brother Ye, that girl is called Len Ruofei, she’s the personal disciple of Mu Feihuan. Her talent is extremely good, she’s also the daughter of the West Cultivator Merchant Association leader’s daughter.”

Then he said, “It’s not impossible if brother Ye wants her, but she’s the fiancée of our younger master, if you want...”

Although he kept his voice low, almost everyone heard this.

Ye Mo smiled bitterly, did this third God Lord not know about sound transmissions? Would he be interested in that blue robed girl? Was he crazy?

“Jiao Huanzheng, shut your mouth! If you dare to say bullshit again I will rip your mouth!” the red robed woman roared.

Jian Huanzheng heard this and looked at the very embarrassed but helpless Len Ruofei and realized he went over the line, but he didn’t mind. He said to Mu Feihuan, “Sister Feihuan, let me introduce you. This is brother Ye Mo, a level nine pill king. As for power, you saw it just then.”

Mu Huanfei was going to curse more but hearing that Ye Mo was level nine pill king she ate her words. She looked at Ye Mo in shock. “Level nine pill king, how is this possible?”

Not just her but all the cultivators watching the show were all very shaken. Level nine pill king was a being that only existed in legends, but now they saw it right before their eyes.

“He’s really level nine pill king?” Mu Feihuan eased her tone.

Jiao Huanzheng said contently, “Of course, would I lie? The extreme grade Snow Sang pills were concocted by brother Ye. So this time I took your Ice Carrot so brother Ye can help me concoct some Truth Marrow pills. Now you understand?”

But then, Mu Feihuan immediately got reminded of why she came and she roared, “Jiao Huanzheng, give me my Ice Carrot!”

Jiao Huanzheng cursed his mouth. He brought it up again and angered her. He quickly explained, “Sister Feihuan, you know big brother is heavily injured at sand river and I need the pills to save his life. I can only ask brother Ye for help.”

However, Mu Feihuan instead looked calmly at Ye Mo. “Is the Ice Carrot on you?”

---

Chapter 603 - Being Respectful Everywhere

Ye Mo said calmly, “Of course it’s on me but it has nothing to do with you because I didn’t get it from you.”

But suddenly Mu Feihuan laughed. “You’re right, you didn’t get it from me but Jiao Huanzheng stole it from me. If I’m going to ask it back from Jiao Huanzheng, are you not planning to give it back?”

Ye Mo was scared of this the most. Now that she said it, he felt unhappy but he had no way to argue. If she came a day later, he might’ve left West Extreme State already, but now he faced the danger of losing the Ice Carrot again.

Giving that up was the same as giving up reaching truth realisation state. He had copious amounts of enemies and if he gave up reaching truth realisation state in a short time, it would not only be dangerous for him but also for those around him.

“Sister Feihuan...” Jiao Zhenhuang saw Ye Mo get closer and had to speak. If Ye Mo was forced to give up the Ice Carrot, not only would he lose face but he would also lose the right to ask Ye Mo to concoct pills.

Mu Feihuan glared coldly at third God Lord and he was stopped in his tracks.

Just when Ye Mo was thinking of a way to keep the Ice Carrot, Mu Feihuan suddenly asked, “Are you a level nine pill king?

“Yes.” Ye Mo said this without hesitation. He felt she asked this with a purpose and he might get to keep the Ice Carrot that way.

“Then can you concoct Wen Blood Pill?” Mu Feihuan asked.

“If you have Blood Qian Fruit I can concoct it in five days time,” Ye Mo said coldly. Wen Blood Pill was a level nine heaven pill. If a cultivator’s cultivation went wrong and the contorted meridians couldn’t create blood, then his body would be ruined. Only the Wen Blood Pill could solve this problem.

Those cultivators above hollow spirit state could rebuild their body but those below hollow spirit state didn’t have essence spirit so they could only use the Wen Blood Pill.

“Can you really concoct the Wen Blood Pill?” There was surprise and joy in Mu Feihuan’s eyes. She immediately took out a jade box and said, “There’re two Blood Qian fruits here, if you can concoct the Wen Blood Pill, I’ll give that Ice Carrot to you.”

Ye Mo took the jade box calmly but his heart wasn’t so calm. This Ice Carrot was finally his. Ye Mo breathed easy, with Ice Carrot, he felt completely assured. He also exclaimed that there were too many high level spirit herbs in West Extreme State. The Blood Qian Fruit was very rare even in the South Peace State, yet she took it out casually.

Seeing Ye Mo look so calm, she was a little worried and said, “Brother Ye, this Wen Blood Pill is extremely important to me, you must concoct for me carefully...”

Then she seemed to want to think of something to threaten Ye Mo with but she realized there was nothing so she said, “If you really concoct it, even if you like my disciple, it’s not impossible.”

Hearing this, the blue robed girl blushed even more and gritted her teeth but she didn’t dare to say anything.

Ye Mo said calmly, “there’s no need to call me brother Ye, I don’t dare to be related to you. I also have a wife, so I don’t need your disciple.”

Then, Ye Mo scorned, “No wonder your disciple’s fiancé is like a frying pan, it’s because she has a master like you. It would be strange if she didn’t have a fiancé like that. You really just go find a fiancé for your disciple at any time, I admire you.”

Mu Feihuan heard this and her face went green but she didn’t dare to rebuke Ye Mo. She was afraid that if she said that Ye Mo would throw the jade box back at her. She was begging for Ye Mo to help and she couldn’t beat him, so she could only take it.

Jian Huanzheng saw that his gift for Ye Mo was gone and didn’t know how to get Ye Mo to concoct pills for him. Hearing this, he immediately went along with Ye Mo. “That’s right, the young God Lord isn’t some good thing. Even I don’t like him as well.”

Mu Feihuan looked at Jiao Huanzheng and asked, “Jiao Huanzehng, Ye... pill king has some conflicts with young God Lord?”

Jiao Huanzheng sneered. “Brother Ye was my guest and as soon as young God Lord appeared he told someone to fight brother Ye and even tried to kill him on the spot. However, Ye Mo easily beat his henchman. If it wasn’t on my account, brother Ye would’ve killed that Yu Ze already.”

Thinking about this, Mu Feihuan said, “Pill king Ye, if you don’t like that Liang Wulan, I can cancel the marriage between him and Ruofei at anytime.”

Ye Mo sneered. “That’s your business, it has nothing to do with me.”

At this moment the young girl suddenly said something to Niu Ruyang. Niu Ruyang walked up to Ye Mo and said, “Brother Ye, my niece doesn’t like that Liang Wulan indeed, please...”

Ye Mo immediately knew what he meant, he loved easy favors like this so he looked at Mu Feihuan and said, “I don’t like that Liang Wulan indeed, as for your Wen Blood Pill...”

Ye Mo paused intentionally.

Mu Feihuan wasn’t dumb, how could she not know why Ye Mo paused here? So she said, “I actually don’t really like this marriage too, when this is over, I will cancel it...”

Seeing that she was going to keep talking, Ye Mo felt disgusted. He waved his hand and said, “Okay then, five days later, come here and get your Wen Blood Pill.”

Mu Feihuan felt very unhappy but she didn’t dare to make Ye Mo annoyed of her so she could only nod.

But the blue robed girl bowed to Mu Feihuan and said, “Ruofei thanks master.” Then she bowed to Ye Mo, “Thank you martial uncle Ye.”

Mu Feihuan just wanted to comfort her when she heard the discussion. “Ye qian bei passed the Heaven 36 Domains, so what if truth realisation state peak stage came, much less truth realisation state cultivators? That Meng Sha was so cocky but was killed in one move.”

“I really didn’t expect Ye qian bei was a level nine pill king too...”

“Many years later, I can say I once stood with a level nine pill king.”

...

Mu Feihuan heard this and was dazed, staring at Ye Mo. “You passed the Heaven 36 Domains? This – how is this possible?”

Ye Mo wanted to go back but suddenly Su Jingwen came out and stood by him.

Jiao Huanzheng saw this opportunity and quickly fawnishly walked up and took out a storage ring. “Last time brother Ye left quickly and I didn’t bring any gifts for sister in law, there’re a few spirit herbs in here. Please take them sister in law.”

Su Jingwen was much smaller than him but Jiao Huanzheng couldn’t care anymore.

Su Jingwen smiled. She knew Ye Mo liked spirit herbs so she took the storage ring and gave it to Ye Mo before saying, “Thank you brother Jiao.”

Jiao Huanzheng felt very happy hearing this. “No need, no need, these few spirit herbs are nothing.”

Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense inside and his mouth spasmed again. There were nearly 500 level eight spirit herbs and more than 40 level nine spirit herbs. Most importantly, Ye Mo sw three truth spirit herbs in here too.

Ye Mo looked at him speechlessly thinking, ‘If you gave me this earlier, would I even need to deal with a woman like Mu Feihuan?’

Seeing Ye Mo look at him again, Jiao Huanzheng thought he was telling him to take out the materials for Truth Marrow Pill so he quickly took out more than ten jade boxes and said, “There are all marrow essence mushrooms inside, see if there are enough brother Ye. I only need a few Truth Marrow pills.”

This many mushrooms for just a few Truth Marrow pills? Were his pill concoction skills that bad? This third God Lord underestimated him too much.

---

Ye Mo patted Jiao Huanzheng’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry brother Jiao, leave the Truth Marrow Pill to me.”

Jiao Huanzheng had a short fuse temper but Ye Mo felt he was a good person and a worthy friend.

Ye Mo took the jade box and said to Yue Ming and them, “Let’s go up and have a chat. Later, I will go into solitary cultivation for pill concoction.”

The reason Ye Mo called them up was because he was really interested in the immortal crystals. He didn’t need much, just ten were enough for him to reach truth realisation state middle stage.

They had some things they hadn’t said yet and hearing Ye Mo was going into five day pill concoction, they were more worried. Now that Ye Mo invited them to go up, they quickly followed Ye Mo into the guest hall. Mu Feihuan didn’t get Ye Mo’s invitation but she needed Ye Mo to concoct pills for her so she followed too.

This time Wang Xie didn’t hesitate and was straightforward.

“Brother Ye, you know about the sand river seal already. Now it’s not just our truth realisation state master but also the God Beast Mountain Range and Heartless Forest who went to Sand River. According to the latest news, there were problems at the seal and six truth realisation state masters have died, with many heavily injured.”

Ye Mo fell silent. He invited them up not to talk about the seal but because he wanted to ask about the seal.

Seeing that Ye Mo didn’t talk, Yue Ming suddenly took out a crystal ball and passed it to Ye Mo. “Brother Ye, this is a recording of the seal, have a look.”

Ye Mo immediately took the crystal ball and scanned his spirit sense inside.

The first image he saw was a white light pillar, there seemed to be an eight trigram seal inside. There were countless crystals arranged around the eight trigrams. Ye Mo counted there were more than a few thousand.

Ye Mo took a cold breath in, he was certain they were pure immortal crystals. They seemed higher level than the immortal crystals he got before.

He felt his heart throbbing. No one here used immortal crystals for cultivation, but he did.

They were more potent than pills, immortal chi wasn’t something that spirit chi could compare with.

As long as he got one percent of the immortal crystals, he could quickly reach truth realisation state peak stage.

Ye Mo now believed that this might really be the seal to this realm. Otherwise, how could there be so many immortal crystals?

To be honest, Ye Mo was really interested. He was planning to leave West Extreme State after getting the Ice Carrot, but now he wanted to go the Sand River. If he could get all these immortal crystals, how could he be scared of cultivation time?

Seeing Ye Mo fall silent for a long while, Wang Xie asked carefully, “Brother Ye, no matter what you think, we respect your decision.”

Su Jingwen also didn’t want Ye Mo to go, but she knew Ye Mo would go for sure. She knew the use of immortal crystals to Ye Mo as well as to them.

Cultivation was a process of constantly searching for good fortune through danger. You may die during this process, but if you were scared of that, you wouldn’t get your fortune and your mental state would break apart.

“If brother Ye goes to Sand River, Yue Ming is willing to stay with sister Jingwen, I definitely won’t allow trash like Meng Sha to affect her cultivation. If I go against this oath, let the heavens and earth destroy me,” Yue Ming said.

Ye Mo nodded.

Knowing that Ye Mo was going to go, Su Jingwen whispered to him, “Don’t worry, I will stay here for cultivation. I won’t leave. With city lord Yue’s promise, I will be fine.”

“Brother Ye, we from West Cultivator City chose a few truth realisation state cultivators to go with you, you will lead them,” Wang Xie quickly said.

“I will go, after brother Ye finishes with the Truth Marrow Pill, I will go back to the God Beast Mountain Range and bring a few truth realisation state beast cultivators to go there together,” Jiao Huanzheng quickly said.

Ye Mo waved his hand. “I’ve decided to go Sand River and will leave after three days, you just need to give me the map. I will go myself. As for the people the city sends, they can go another way, they need not follow me.”

Ye Mo had a half-immortal artifact, plus he was only a disaster transformation state level seven. He didn’t want to bring five truth realisation state cultivators with him. Who knew what would happen on the way? He was very powerful in their eyes but in fact he wasn’t as powerful as they thought. If Wang Xie and Yue Ming joined forces, he would be no match. Even if Wang Xie fought with him he might not be a match.

It was because he knew his power was too weak that he was desperate to reach truth realisation state.

It was good that Su Jingwen and them stayed at the hotel. He would set up a top grade level nine kill and trap formation. He would also leave behind a messenger flying sword so that he would know at first notice if something happened. But Ye Mo believed with his current prestige, no one would dare to do anything to Su Jingwen and them.

“Then my pill?” Mu Huanfei asked.

Ye Mo said calmly, “Two days later, I will be done with brother Jiao and your pills.”

Seeing this, Wang Xie and them quickly pushed the gifts to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo didn’t really care about them but they were free so why not take them? He then said to Wang Xie and Yue Ming, “I will concoct one cauldron of pills each.”

Wang Xie and Yue Ming rejoiced but Niu Ruyang looked at Ye Mo awkwardly as his gift wasn’t taken.

Ye Mo wasn’t going to take it, he still had half a jug of 10000 year stalagmite marrow left.

“Brother Niu, I won’t take that, but if you can help me get some top grade forgery materials, I will also held you concoct a cauldron of pills when I come back.”

Hearing this, Niu Ruyang felt assured. He was scared Ye Mo wasn’t interested in his things.

As soon as Ye Mo said this, he patted his chest. “Brother Ye, don’t worry – I will get it done for sure!”

Len Ruofei also bowed to Ye Mo and said, “Martial uncle Ye, if you see my father please take care of him a little.”

Ye Mo nodded but felt it was funny. He knew Len Ruofei’s father was West Cultivator Merchant Association’s leader, truth realisation state level nine peak. Would he need a disaster transformation state level seven to take care of him? What a joke!

Things were settled and so Ye Mo and Su Jingwen went inside for pill concoction, but the rest of the people didn’t dare to leave.

Ye Mo didn’t plan to go into Golden Page World for pill concoction, but he needed to go Sand River now so he could only go in and use the time formation disk. One month’s time would use up some extreme grade spirit ranges, but it didn’t matter to him too much.

In the 20 days in the time formation disk, Ye Mo used just 16 days to concoct level nine heaven grade pills. But due to the rush of time, he used almost all the level nine spirit herbs for practice.

Two days later, Ye Mo finished four cauldrons of Truth Marrow pills. He used seven of the mushrooms and still had 9 left. Ye Mo just reached level nine pill king and his skills weren’t stable yet. The pity was that he only concocted middle grade and top grade pills, no special grade.

As for the Blood Wen Pill, Ye Mo concocted it last. He only got two Blood Qian fruits. If he failed, it was hard to bring it up to her.

Even so, Ye Mo failed once. Luckily, the second time he concocted six Wen Blood pills.

When Ye Mo came out, it had only been a day. Mu Feihuan got her four Wen Blood pills and was overjoyed. She bid farewell immediately and left with her disciple.

Jiao Huanzheng was overjoyed upon getting two bottles of top grade Truth Marrow pills. Ye Mo knew he needed to go back too and thus didn’t keep him.

In the next day, Ye Mo spent the day setting up level nine defense and kill formations before finally leaving for Sand River.

...

For others, the fastest would be three months for them to arrive here but Ye Mo arrived here in half a month.

Before he went in, the sand in his spirit sense seemed boundless. It reminded him of the Heartless Sea, endless and boundless. You would feel how small you were when you were inside.

Ye Mo settled his mind and stepped foot in. As soon as he did, he felt this pitiful whimper in the desert. Even with his mind, he felt a little sad as though seeing endless bones and souls in the desert.

Such a terrifying sand river!

---

Chapter 604 - The Scary Sand River Shadow

Ye Mo put away Blue Moon and went on Zi Xu into the Sand River. The deeper he went, the more Ye Mo felt there was a whimpering sound around. It was like a despairing tourist crying in this sea of desert.

Ye Mo flew in here for half a day and completely realized why so many people were lost. If you stayed in here a little longer, the helplessness and loneliness would take over your heart. The longer time went, the longer you spent here, the deeper this feeling was felt. If you couldn’t resolve it, no matter how strong hearted you were, you would lose yourself in this Sand River.

Ye Mo was sure that those cultivators who could go in had a way to stop this, but he didn’t know the method. Ye Mo didn’t mind that Wang Xie and Yue Ming didn’t tell him about this. They probably thought he was almighty and wouldn’t lose his mind in the desert.

In fact, if Ye Mo didn’t have Bitter Bamboo it might really be hard for him to keep conscious in this place.

But now, he wasn’t scared of this at all.

With a long howl and the use of the Three Birth Chant, his mind cleared and that whimpering sound disappeared.

Ye Mo took Zi Xu in a purple beam and dashed across the Sand River.

He had the map Wang Xie gave him. It didn’t cover the entire place but it could point a direction for him.

The whimpering sands calmed down and it was though Ye Mo was flying over an ordinary boundless desert.

He really enjoyed the feeling of flying above the sand. It had this wild but ecstatic feeling. He wasn’t a poet but even he wanted to compose a poem now.

“Attack!”

A painful howl sounded and Ye Mo suddenly stopped Zi Xu. A white-robed cultivator appeared in his spirit sense. His clothes were very dirty now and he waved a flying sword, charging as though there were countless demons ahead of him, but in fact there was just endless sand.

The rolling sand turned into a long ravine under that slashed but moments later it recovered.

“I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you....” The man roared nonstop and his flying sword shot out beams of cultivation essence sword rays, but there was nothing around him.

Just when Ye Mo wanted to give him a clear mind spell, he saw the man suddenly fall down.

Ye Mo landed not far from this man, he scanned over his spirit sense and found this man was dead. He was a truth realisation state level four cultivator, yet he lost his mind in here and fought a delusional battle until he dried up his cultivation essence. This was a pity.

It was unknown how long he had been fighting for and how many times he used his magic artifact to attack.

The Sand River was still the same and soon, the man was buried under the sand. Only then did his flying sword fall down, piercing into the sand like a tombstone. But it also disappeared soon under this ravaging sand.

Ye Mo stood there and fell silent for a long time and didn’t move. He didn’t take any of the man’s belongings nor his storage ring. He just saw the words ‘Shi Zhongque’ on the hilt of the sword.

A truth realisation state level four cultivator died strangely like this, perhaps he was very famous and dominated a region when he was alive. Perhaps there were people waiting for him to go back, but today he died in this endless desert. If Ye Mo didn’t see it, perhaps no one would know of his death.

Just when Ye Mo was about to leave, he suddenly had a bad feeling. It was as though there was something staring at him. If he moved, that thing would charge up.

Ye Mo’s skin crawled, he trusted his senses too much. Even if his spirit sense couldn’t see it, he believed his sixth sense. Without hesitation, he waved blue flames over.

Heaven Flame Nine Suns was only at level one, he didn’t even completely master level one, but Ye Mo had a feeling that only Heaven Flame Nine Suns would be able to save him in this situation.

The instant the blue flame flashed over, a faint red sun rose up as though it was dawn above Ye Mo’s head.

It emitted countless pale red beams as though a star exploding.

It was under this sun that he saw a faint shadow near him. He sweated cold immediately, he was disaster transformation state tertiary stage and yet he couldn’t see this figure with his spirit sense.

The faint shadow neared Ye Mo and even reached out its faceless head. But when Ye Mo used Heaven Flame Nine Suns, the shadow showed a terrified face.

Ye Mo felt very strange. He clearly didn’t see any face on this figure but under the Heaven Flame Nine Suns it showed a terrified face.

In that instant, Heaven Flame Nine Suns exploded red rays that seemed to be flaming needles. They all shot into the shadow.

After a sharp shriek, that shadow melted like the snow under the Heaven Flame Nine Suns.

Ye Mo felt easier and the tense feeling was gone.

Ye Mo put away the Mist Lotus Heart Fire and had a bad feeling. This Sand River was more scary than he had thought.

The shadow wasn’t a ghost cultivator nor a spirit cultivator. It was something he had never heard of.

Was it this shadow that the truth realisation state was trying to kill?

Ye Mo took out the compass and map and checked before scanned with spirit sense. He was going to keep moving but his spirit sense scanned another cultivator. Like the cultivator before, he was waving his magic artifact frantically.

Without hesitation, Ye Mo flew over and used Heaven Flame Nine Suns.

The red sun rose up and loomed over this terrified cultivator.

Under the sun, a figure was latched onto this cultivator, its head stuck closely to this cultivator’s neck as though it was sucking blood.

The shadow immediately shrieked and instantly faded into a mist under the Heaven Flame Nine Suns.

This was another truth realisation state, a beast cultivator truth realisation state level five.

After the shadow was gone, the beast cultivator immediately stopped and before he could even thank Ye Mo, he sat down to eat a pill and recover.

15 minutes later, the beast cultivator got up and saluted with his fists with a sliver of shock. “Thank you friend for saving me, I’m God Beast Mountain Range’s Cha Qizhao.”

Ye Mo asked, “Do you know Shi Zhongque? Or do you know big God Lord or second God Lord and West Cultivator City’s city lord Xie Zhengshi?”

Cha Qizhao was shook. “You’re the cultivator coming here for the seal? You must not go, that seal is a demon, you must not go....”

“There’s no one there now, people are dead, injured, and running for their lives. That is too scary, too scary, it’s over, West Extreme State is done for.”

Ye Mo frowned, a truth realisation state cultivator was scared to this degree, this was too absurd. He waved his hand and gave him a clear mind spell before asking, “Brother Cha, what is going on? Can you be more specific?”

The beast cultivator shook and completely woke up. He looked at Ye Mo in shock. “What were the things chasing us? How come I couldn’t see them, how come you could? You killed them?”

---

Ye Mo thought and said, “That thing isn’t too powerful, the only scary thing is you can’t scan it with spirit sense nor see it with your eyes. You don’t even know where it’s attacking you. I think if you could see it, you could easily kill it with your power.”

“What is it?” Cha Qizhao subconsciously asked.

“It’s a shadow, I have a heaven flame and it has nowhere to hide under it. I don’t know if other people can see it with heaven flame.”

Ye Mo then looked at him. “You guys often come to Sand River, you probably should know there are such things right? Is this the first time you’ve seen it?”

Cha Qizhao’s face changed and nodded. “Yes, if I’m not wrong, this shadow might’ve been released by us. When we attacked the seal, the concussion force was very powerful. The moment we were about to break one corner of the seal, there was suddenly a terrifying explosion. A few cultivators near it instantly died. Our big God Lord was injured and the city lord Xie and third city lord of West Cultivator City were injured. So we sent out messenger flying swords asking for help.”

Then, Cha Qizhao seemed to have thought of something and took out a red flying sword. “I’m going to send a messenger flying sword back, we can’t let more truth realisation state cultivators come to Sand River.”

He was very fast and the flying sword shot off into the sky but it only flew out a few hundred meters before it exploded.

“What’s going on?” Cha Qizhao looked at Ye Mo in confusion.

Ye Mo’s face changed. He took out a messenger flying sword but it exploded mid-air as well.

Cha Qizhao tried again and his face looked very bad. “Messenger flying swords aren’t working, it’s probably due to us opening that seal.”

Ye Mo asked heavily, “How did it happen, how did you let the shadows out?”

Cha Qizhao said with regret, “We all attacked the seal and we thought it would be fine to open it, but when we did, there was an explosion. A few truth realisation states died and a few were heavily injured. City lord Xie suggested that we stop attacking the seal and ask for help. We thought that with more people the seal would be opened eventually.

Ye Mo frowned. That was a good way if there was no systematic way of unlocking the seal, but he had never heard that attacking a seal by force would kill a few truth realisation state cultivators. This was too absurd.

Cha Qizhao continued, “We didn’t keep attacking it and set up a defense formation around instead. But at this moment, a black mist seeped out of the seal. It was very eerie and our spirit sense felt very bad scanning it. If we didn’t scan it though, it was fine.”

Cha Qizhao sighed, “We didn’t care about the black mist at first but a few days later, a friend from the Heartless Forest suddenly went crazy, thinking there were countless things attacking him. He released his magic artifact attacking nonstop, there was no use in persuading him. We were trying to subjugate him at first, but more and more people went crazy. A few truth realisation state cultivators even fought on the spot.

When we knew things weren’t good, we already fell victim to it ourselves. Shi Zhongque is a truth realisation state cultivator of West Cultivator City. ”

“Friend, if it wasn’t for you, I would’ve died just now. Thank you for saving my life. You can come to our God Beast Mountain Range, I will always treat you as a VIP. I don’t know your name yet, friend.”

Ye Mo saluted with his fists too. “I’m Ye Mo, I’m friends with third God Lord, it’s no big deal don’t worry. I came here this time on the request of West Cultivator City to come help.”

Cha Qizhao rejoiced. “That’s great, so you’re third God Lord’s friend!”

But then he said worriedly, “Brother Ye, the sealing grounds are too dangerous. I suspect that the seal isn’t to seal the West Extreme State from ascending to the immortal realm but sealing the demon realm. The black mist probably seeped out from the demon realm and combined with something from the Sand River to form that invisible being.”

Ye Mo also suspected that the black mist underwent some mutation to become that thing.

Ye Mo fell silent for a while and suddenly asked, “Brother Zhuo, did you see the immortal crystals inside the seal?”

This was what Ye Mo cared about the most.

Hearing this, Cha Qizhao immediately knew why Ye Mo came here. He thought Ye Mo would be much more powerful than him so it was natural he asked about the immortal crystals. Cha Qizhao nodded. “That’s right, there’s an extremely big 8 trigram disk at the light pillar and around it are countless immortal crystals.”

Ye Mo nodded. “Brother Chao probably guessed it, I came for the immortal crystals. Although the sealing grounds is dangerous, I still want to go. If brother Chao wants to go then come with me. If not, then go back first. I feel that the shadow is just invisible, but if you are attacked and you can maintain your sanity and burn it with a rare flame cultivation essence flame, then there would be some hope.”

Cha Qizhao nodded. “Brother Ye, you’re right – but not every truth realisation state cultivator is as firm minded as you. If they lose their mind they won’t know how to attack. As you said, if it was a head on battle, we wouldn’t be scared of it at all, but it can make truth realisation state cultivators lose their minds.”

Then he looked at Ye Mo and said, “Brother Ye, if I go back alone I will probably die, so I’m going to go with you as only you aren’t scared of the shadow.”

Ye Mo nodded. “Then let’s go.”

Then, he took out Blue Moon and let Cha Qizhao get on and lead the way.

...

Blue Moon disappeared in a blur. Even Cha Qizhao had never seen a half-immortal artifact flying and was shaken by Blue Moon’s speed. He felt that with Blue Moon, Ye Mo would be able to send him out of here in half a day.

But he didn’t say such a thing. If Ye Mo could take on those shadows, then he also wanted one or two immortal crystals.

Cha Qizhao explained some basic knowledge of Sand River to Ye Mo and Ye Mo realized that all cultivators who came in must have Clear Benefit Pill. It was a level nine spirit pill but it was a necessity. Only after consuming it would you be able to resist the hallucinations – but it wasn’t foolproof. Many cultivators still fell into hallucinations despite using it.

Cha Qizhao didn’t know how long he had been running for but he felt his cultivation essence dry up and calculated that he spent at least 10 days running in the Sand River.

However, Blue Moon arrived at the seal in just half a day.

Ye Mo put away Blue Moon and landed on the sand with Cha Qizhao. He looked around and this place was like everywhere else. There was no seal nor explosion.

Just when Cha Qizhao wanted to speak, Ye Mo waved his hand and Cha Qizhao felt a scorching heat. He saw a red sun rise into the sky. Despite not targeting him, he still felt the terrifying heat.

Cha Qizhao felt shook – such a powerful spell! If Ye Mo used this red sun against him, he had no way around it but to use a defense magic artifact.

The next moment, Cha Qizhao saw two faint shadows under the sun. Ye Mo didn’t use the heaven flame to attack it, so Cha Qizhao saw two shadows hiding in the corner showing a terrified face.

Cha Qizhao asked dazedly, “That was what attacked me just then?”

Ye Mo nodded. “That’s right.”

Cha Qizhao was furious and flung out a few red beams.

---

Chapter 605 - Xie Zhengshi’s Killing Intent

Ye Mo saw clearly that the red beams Cha Qizhao used was truth realisation state domain flame.

“Argh...” Two howls of pain sounded and the shadows were crippled. It was slow and after the flame passed, it seemed to be gathering again.

Before Cha Qizhao could use his domain flame again, Ye Mo flung his heaven flame over and those two figures instantly melted. Cha Qizhao felt a little awkward. The difference in flames were too great.

Just when Cha Qizhao wanted to say something in self mockery, he saw Ye Mo wave his hand to him and hack down with Zi Xu in a place not far away.

A vibrant purple ray flashed across and a ten meter long sand wall was raised.

*Thud*

A ravine tens of meters deep was revealed.

Before Cha Qizhao could realize why Ye Mo did this, a dark blue figure darted out from the ravine like lightning.

It was very fast but even Cha Qizhao felt it pause for a moment.

The next moment, Cha Qizhao saw the figure outside. He called out in shock, “City lord Xie, it’s you? What are you doing here?”

Ye Mo was going to attack this figure, but hearing this he stopped.

The blue figure landed on the sand, it was an extremely handsome middle-aged man. He seemed a little shabby and a crack stretched across his chest on the armor.

The middle aged man saluted with his fists to Cha Qizhao. “Brother Cha it’s me, congratulations on getting away.”

Then he looked at Ye Mo and said, “Friend, you’re so powerful, such a powerful domain! I was almost injured.”

Ye Mo stared at this man and asked heavily, “You’re West Cultivator City’s city lord, Xie Zhengshi?”

Before he could reply, Cha Qizhao quickly said, “Yes, he’s Xie Zhengshi, city lord Xie.”

Then Cha Qizhao said to the middle-aged man, “City lord Xie this is Ye Mo, he came from your West Cultivator City to help us release the seal. I survived because brother Ye helped me. Otherwise, I would be dead.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed surprised and then saluted with his fists. “So it’s brother Ye, I’m Xie Zhengshi. Brother Ye’s sword art is so powerful, but as the city lord, I’ve never seen brother Ye.”

Ye Mo put away Zi Xu and said, “It’s because I’m passing by and city lord Yue, city lord Luo, and Wang Xie as well as Niu Ruyang asked a favor of me, so I came here to help. But I happened to meet brother Cha before so I helped him.”

Xie Zhengshi breathed easy and saluted with his fists. “Thank you brother Ye, I didn’t expect brother Ye to not fear the shadow at all and to also be able to notice me hiding in the sands. Your power is something I’ve never seen before.”

Ye Mo smiled but didn’t speak, but Cha Qizhao asked, “City lord Xie, how did you kill that shadow?”

Xie Zhengshi looked scared. “The instant I woke up, I used my heaven flame Li Ming Flame to burn all of my body to kill that shadow. That shadow is indeed as brother Ye said, it fears rare flames, especially heaven flames.”

Ye Mo approved, no wonder this Xie Zhengshi was city lord of West Cultivator City. He even had the ninth ranked heaven flame of the cultivation realm.

“There were more than ten of us this time, how many can survive?” Cha Qizhao sighed.

Xie Zhengshi showed pity in his eyes and said, “Although we lost a lot, your Mi Le God Lord and Heartless Forest’s brother Ji should be fine. Those things are scary, but if the cultivator can keep their consciousness, then it’s easy to annihilate.”

Xie Zhengshi looked at Ye Mo and asked, “Brother Ye, did you notice me because I was a little shocked when I saw you easily annihilate the two shadows and thus leaked a little cultivation essence wave?”

Ye Mo smiled but didn’t reply. He didn’t notice Xie Zhengshi at all, he just felt there was danger there.

Only those who had killing intent towards him would make him feel danger, so Ye Mo didn’t even trust Xie Zhengshi’s words that much. No matter how well Xie Zhengshi hid his killing intent, Ye Mo felt it.

He didn’t know why Xie Zhengshi had killing intent towards him. He was here to help, Xie Zhengshi shouldn’t have that killing intent.

“City lord Xie, since you’ve escaped the shadow why are you still staying here?” Cha Qizhao asked in confusion.

Xie Zhengshi’s face was calm but Ye Mo felt there was some change. Ye Mo asked again, “City lord Xie, do you already know what this shadow is?”

Xie Zhengshi was shook but he immediately nodded. “That’s right, I already know what it is. When we opened a corner of the seal, the black mist that seeped out was probably demonic chi from the demon realm. Over the countless years, many people have died in the Sand River and so there is such hate filled qi in here. Those who died here were pretty much all powerful cultivators and this hateful qi is different from ordinary hateful qi.

People who stay in here for a long time lose their minds, and after that hateful qi combines with the demonic chi, it forms an evil spirit with consciousness.”

Ye Mo nodded, he felt Xie Zhengshi was right.

Cha Qizhao wasn’t dumb, he felt Xie Zhengshi was a little strange too but hearing this, he breathed easy. “So that’s it, as long as we know about it, it’s no big deal. If you can see it, it is easy to deal with.”

Xie Zhengshi shook his head. “No, these evil spirits are just in the formatory stage. Once they mature, they will become very scary.”

Ye Mo looked at Xie Zhengshi and asked, “Is city lord Xie staying here to observe the growth of these evil spirits?”

Xie Zhengshi’s face froze as he felt that Ye Mo had noticed something was wrong and even noticed his killing intent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask something like this. He couldn’t see Ye Mo’s power level at all but seeing how easily Ye Mo killed that shadow and his terrifying domain, Xie Zhengshi knew that Ye Mo’s power could only be above his.

Thinking about this, Xie Zhengshi immediately answered, “Although I can kill those evil spirits, I can’t do so as easily as brother Ye. There’s half a months distance between here and the exit, so I’m not sure if I can make it out. Thus, I hid here.”

Ye Mo knew this was a lie but he didn’t say anything, he just looked at Cha Qizhao. “Are the sealing grounds here?”

Xie Zhengshi saw this and immediately knew Ye Mo was suspicious of him, however he wasn’t worried and didn’t say anything.

Cha Qizhao nodded. “Yes, that seal is here.”

Then, Cha Qizhao released a tower and smashed at an empty space. It was a top grade cultivation artifact.

There was a wail and a huge tower landed from the air, the space nearby was cracking under its pressure.

Only halfway to the ground, the space rattled showing a huge light pillar.

It was a seal indeed. Ye Mo hacked out with Zi Xu and with a rumble, the light pillar was more visible.

Inside was the 8 trigram disk, around it were thousands of immortal crystals. Ye Mo had used these before and he knew they were higher grade than the ones he got.

“The disk is spinning!” Cha Qizhao called out in shock. “The disk never spun before. Why is it spinning faster and faster?”

Ye Mo was a level nine formation grandmaster, and seeing this, he knew why the disk was spinning and why Xie Zhengshi would have killing intent towards him.

---

The seal already cracked under their attack before, but it could self repair. However, that took a long time.

Ye Mo could tell that in a few days, this seal would reveal a periodic entrance. Cultivators from outside would be able to enter from the light pillar. This opening wouldn’t be open for long, but cultivators could go in and out quickly.

Xie Zhengshi must’ve realized this. To be able to do this, it meant he was a formation grand master.

However, he didn’t say this and instead tried to ambush him. The only reason was to take all the immortal crystals for himself.

Although everyone loved immortal crystals, Ye Mo felt contempt towards Xie Zhengshi’s plans.

Cha Qizhao quickly said, “Brother Ye you must not attack that seal anymore – if you do, it would explode again.”

Ye Mo didn’t plan to do so. He instead turned around and looked at Xie Zhengshi asking, “City lord Xie, you’re a formation grand master?”

Xie Zhengshi heard this and his heart skipped. He wasn’t dumb, Ye Mo asking this meant that he could see there was a periodic opening to this seal. This also meant that Ye Mo was a formation grand master.

He knew there was no point in hiding here so he nodded. “Yes, I’m indeed a level eight formation grand master. I stayed here for another reason, there’s a crack in the seal here and according to my estimation, in four days there will be an opening.”

Hearing this, Cha Qizhao realized that Xie Zhengshi stayed here for the immortal crystals.

Clearly he wasn’t happy about Xie Zhengshi not telling the truth before, but thinking again, if it was him, perhaps he wouldn’t tell either. He didn’t think much of it from there.

Seeing that Ye Mo didn’t speak, Xie Zhengshi coughed and continued, “I calculated the duration of the opening. It’s about ten seconds, meaning that we can go in during this time to get the immortal crystals. If brother Ye and brother Cha are fine with it, we can go in together and get as much as we can.”

“I don’t mind.” Ye Mo nodded.

“Same,” Cha Qizhao said.

Xie Zhengshi breathed easy. He was scared that Ye Mo would insist that he didn’t speak the truth. He felt Ye Mo was at least a truth realisation state peak stage cultivator.

Ye Mo ignored Xie Zhengshi and checked this seal carefully. The more he looked the more he was shocked. The means here were too great.

After a study, Ye Mo didn’t feel that Xie Zhengshi and them saw wrongly before. This was indeed a dimension seal to seal a realm. It might even be the seal to prevent cultivators from ascending to other realms.

But this light pillar really was only the tip of the iceberg. This was one of countless pillars. There was no use in trying to break this seal by force.

This huge pillar was called the seal flag in such seals. Even if you broke this flag, it would activate the backup flags. You could be lucky to encounter one flag, but could you be lucky enough to encounter another? One needed to destroy at least seven seal flags to break this sort of seal.

The only way was to calculate the position of the second flag once you went in and then continue from there. If seven flags were destroyed, then this realm seal would cripple itself.

“Brother Ye, do you feel this is a dimension seal?” Cha Qizhao admired Ye Mo greatly and asked.

Ye Mo nodded. “I feel you guys are right, but this isn’t a seal to the demon realm, it’s a seal to seal the entire cultivation realm. This light pillar is called the seal flag, you can only break this seal if you break seven seal flags. And I believe this seal is the seal restricting West Extreme State’s cultivators from ascending to the immortal realm.”

“Huh...” Cha Qizhao and Xie Zhengshi exclaimed at the same time.

“Brother Ye, although I know you’re a formation grandmaster, I don’t know what level formation grand master you are?” Xie Zhengshi asked.

Ye Mo said calmly, “It’s not important what level formation grandmaster I am – what’s important is whether you want the immortal crystals or to break the seal?”

“I want to break the seal, brother Ye if you can help us break this seal and let West Extreme State’s cultivators be able to immortal ascend normally, I would rather not have a single immortal crystal and give them all to you,” Xie Zhengshi said without hesitation.

Ye Mo nodded, this Xie Zhengshi was greedy but he wasn’t clueless on big matters. He knew that only after breaking this seal could he ascend to the immortal realm. Otherwise, no matter how many immortal crystals he got, he still couldn’t ascend.

Cha Qizhao was dazed and asked, “Brother Ye, how do you explain the black mist seeping out before?”

Ye Mo shook his head. “I don’t know either, perhaps it was something sealed inside here intentionally. If the seal was attacked, the black mist would seep out to attack those people breaking the formation.”

Cha QIzhao said seriously to Ye Mo too “brother Ye as long as you can break the seal, I can do whatever you want me to go. As for those immortal crystals, you can have them all.”

Ye Mo nodded, from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to open the seal. This seal might not just be the seal for West Extreme State but the entire Luo Yue continent. After he broke the seal here, perhaps cultivators from the South Peace State could also immortal ascend. Even if they can’t, they can come here.

Four days flew past and the instant the crack opened, Ye Mo dashed in, the other two followed.

Ye Mo wasn’t scared of being shut inside but it was best to go out before the seal closed.

So he didn’t have time to rob the immortal crystals, even if Xie Zhengshi and Cha Qizhao didn’t give him any immortal crystals he can rob it back.

After Ye Mo came in, he immediately began to calculate the position of the next flag.

When he came in here, he didn’t even stay for 5 seconds and he felt dizzy. The 8 trigam spun like crazy and moments later, the three were pushed out by the huge light pillar.

“what’s going on?” Cha Qizhao asked.

Xie Zhengshi’s face looked bad and said “the seal flag probably felt it when we went to grab the immortal crystals and pushed us out.”

Cha Qizhao didn’t believe it and looked at Ye Mo for an answer.

Ye Mo’s face wasn’t too good but he nodded “city lord Xie is right, we can’t touch the immortal crystals in the seal flag. If we touch it, the seal flag would disappear and the backup seal flag would be used.”

Cha QIzhao’s face changed “brother Ye, this means this seal flag has disappeared?”

Ye Mo nodded “if I’m not wrong yes.”

Cha Qizhao said no more and smashed with his tower at the same place again.

This time, a huge hole appeared in the ground but there was nothing else.

“it really disappeared.” Cha Qizhao’s face went bad. If they didn’t find the next seal flag, then this seal would never be broken and they would never be able to ascend into the immortal realm.

But soon he thought of what Ye Mo said before and looked at Ye Mo “brother Ye did you calculate the position of the enxt flag?”

Ye Mo thought for a long time and said “yes, but I only calculated the approximate location. We need to go west one million miles, it should be around there.”

“Sand River death grounds?” Xie Zhengshi and Cha Qizhao called out at the same time?

“what’s that?” Ye Mo asked.

Cha Qizhao immediately explained “there’s three places you can’t go in the Sand River, one is the demon realm entrance, the second is the blue sand ditch, the third is sand sinkhole. These three places are the Sand River death grounds, you will die for sure if you go. The place you said is sand sinkhole.”

Chapter 606 - Seal flag inside the sand sinkhole

Cha Qizhao continued explaining, “The demon realm entrance is the furthest from here. Even with an extreme grade flying cultivation artifact, it would take half a year to reach it. No one has said to be able to return from the demon realm entrance. The blue sand ditch is at the north of the Sand River. It’s an area of about a few hundred square kilometers. The sand there is all blue, even the sky there is blue, no one can go near there. The temperature there is like a furnace. Those cultivators who near there are all burned to death, even truth realisation states can’t get near there.”

Ye Mo was shook, the blue sand place was this terrifying! Even truth realisation state cultivators couldn’t go in.

Cha Qizhao continued, “The sand near there has been baked to stone, it’s very tough and it’s said that the stones can be used as magic artifacts, with its toughness on the same level with cultivation artifacts.”

Ye Mo asked in confusion, “If the temperature there is this high, what is causing it?”

Cha Qizhao shook his head. “I don’t know, but it’s said that the number one flame of the cultivation realm Blue Like Morning Sky is there, but no one has been inside so no one is certain if the flame there is Blue Like Morning Sky. But I don’t think it is, when the Blue Like Morning Sky appears, then entire realm’s sky would be azure. How can it appear in a sand ditch only a few hundred kilometers long? Plus, even if the Blue Like Morning Sky appeared, there wouldn’t be such a terrifying temperature.”

Ye Mo didn’t speak but he didn’t think so. When the Blue Like Morning Sky appeared, the entire realm turning azure was only a legend. He didn’t believe a flame that wasn’t in great completion could cause an entire realm to be azure. That was too absurd. The blue sand ditch’s phenomena sounded to be the Blue Like Morning Sky. But since other people couldn’t go in, it was very hard for him to go in too. He had decided to check it out after he dealt with the seal.

Blue Like Morning Sky was the number ranked flame in the cultivation realm and the number three ranked flame in the universe.

The reason it was ranked third was not because it was weaker than the first and second, but because there was no number one flame. From the second to tenth of heaven flames, no matter which flame devoured Astral Flame Marrow, it could immediately become the number one heaven flame. The heaven flame’s name was named according to the user.

Many names were already chosen. If Blue Like Morning Sky devoured Astral Flame Marrow, usually it would be called Astral Blue Flame.

If two top ten heaven flames both devoured the Astral Flame Marrow and encountered each other, they would devour each other. The victorious one would be the number one flame in the universe.

The Astral Flame Marrow was even rarer to get than the heaven flame. It usually appeared in space fissures or the void.

Ye Mo saw Xie Zhengshi’s face wasn’t too natural when Cha Qizhao spoke of the blue sand ditch.

“What’s that sand sinkhole?” Ye Mo asked.

Cha Qizhao nodded. “It’s much better than blue sand ditch, it’s much smaller too. It’s only a few kilometers across. This place is always a sand sinkhole. The sand there formed an eddy, any cultivators who nears there is swept away.”

Ye Mo frowned, if the seal flag was in the eddy then it would really be troublesome.

He knew there was no way but he had to go see, immortal ascension also concerned him.

...

They didn’t fly slow nor fast as Ye Mo wasn’t sure of the exact location of the second flag.

Five days later Ye Mo saw the sand sinkhole. He hoped the seal flag wasn’t here, but the final conclusion he got was that the second seal flag was in the sand sinkhole.

Although they were still a few kilometers from the sand sinkhole, they could see the huge whirlpool. It seemed very spectacular but lethal at the same time.

The eddy made a whimpering sound that was very ear blasting even a few kilometers away. This wasn’t it but Ye Mo felt a powerful suction force sweeping around his body. It was as though if he loosened his mind a little and the powerful suction would take him into the sand.

“Brother Ye, what should we do if that seal flag is really in the sand sinkhole? We can’t get close to it at all.” Cha Qizhao said worriedly.

Ye Mo looked at Xie Zhengshi and asked, “City lord Xie, what do you think we should do?”

Xie Zhengshi looked at the sinkhole and frowned. “I don’t have a good idea either, but it’s not impossible for us to get close to the sinkhole. We can set up a counter rotating formation and reduce the spin of this sinkhole to the lowest, then we can near it. But that’s only getting near it, it’s not practical to go in and search for the seal flag. And we still need more people to set up this rotation formation.”

Cha Qizhao asked in confusion, “City lord Xie, aren’t you and brother Ye both formation grandmasters? How come you need more people? Do you not have spirit source? If not, I have a lot of top grade spirit stones and some extreme grade spirit stones.”

Xie Zhengshi shook his head. “Brother Cha, that’s not the problem. The rotation formation won’t be able to run on top grade spirit stones, extreme grade spirit stones are good but you probably don’t have that much. The reason it’s hard to set up is because there is no level nine formation grandmaster. This formation is a level nine peak formation. I have an extreme grade spirit range for spirit source but I have no way to set up the level nine peak formation.”

“What? You need a level nine formation?” Cha Qizhao took in a cold breath. There was only one level nine formation grandmaster in West Extreme State and that was the old mountain lord of the Snow Forest Pond, but he had been in solitary cultivation for more than 100 years.

Ye Mo smiled. “I agree to city lord Xie’s idea, it’s perfect that city lord Xie has spirit source, but I can set up this counter rotating formation. When it’s ready I will go into the formation, just help me guard it city lord.”

The other two were dazed for a while before saying at the same time, “You’re a level nine formation grandmaster?”

Ye Mo nodded. “That’s right, I’m a level nine formation grandmaster.”

Xie Zhengshi took a cold breath in and then bowed to Ye Mo. “I thought brother Ye was at most a level eight formation grandmaster like me. Sorry for any offense before, please don’t mind.”

It was quite hard for him to say this as truth realisation state peak stage and city lord of West Cultivator City. One could see how important immortal crystals were to him.

Cha Qizhao didn’t understand why Xie Zhengshi said this, but Ye Mo knew that Xie Zhengshi was apologizing for trying to ambush him before.

Ye Mo waved his hand. “Immortal ascension is very important to me as well. But I don’t have enough materials, would you have some materials city lord Xie? I need to make formation flags.”

He had more than enough for the flags, but if he could use this opportunity to collect materials from Xie Zhengshi, why not?

Cha Qizhao also took out large sums of materials.

Ye Mo sighed, the West Extreme State cultivators were really wealthy. He took all the materials and then set up a restriction a little further away to make formation flags.

Two days later, Ye Mo came out and saw the two waiting for him.

Ye Mo gave a part of the formation flags to Xie Zhengshi and said, “I’m going to set up the counter rotation formation, release the spirit range first. When I’m done with the formation, I will go into the sinkhole immediately and you can help me control the formation, I will go break the seal flag.”

Xie Zhengshi nodded, he didn’t have the ability to go in so he had no choice.

He waved and a huge spirit range appeared. Even Ye Mo was a little tempted. This was a perfect extreme grade spirit range, he wondered where Xie Zhengshi got this from. As soon as it landed, the spirit chi around here became abundant.

---

The extreme grade spirit range landed on the sand and Xie Zhengshi threw out tens of formation flags, pinning it down.

Ye Mo set up a spirit providing formation on the spirit range first and then rapidly flew around the huge sand sinkhole, setting up formation flags.

When Xie Zhengshi saw that Ye Mo placed all the formation flags in the void, his eyes began to flicker. Of course he had heard of void formation flags, they were an extremely difficult means of setting up formations that he couldn’t use yet.

It was already very shocking to know that Ye Mo was a level nine formation grandmaster, but he didn’t expect Ye Mo to be able to set up void formation flags so smoothly. This formation skill was clearly near level nine peak. He really didn’t understand how Ye Mo learned. He even wanted to ask how old Ye Mo was – was he an old monster who had lived millenniums?

Cha Qizhao was dumbfounded. In his eyes, Ye Mo was now almighty. He could easily kill the shadows that he couldn’t do anything about and set up level nine formations so casually.

Ye Mo darted above the sand sinkhole and threw out formation flags. Each formation flag seemed to have powerful dimension waves. Although the formation hadn’t formed yet, Xie Zhengshi and Cha Qizhao could feel that the space around here changed greatly.

One day passed quickly and the two who were watching Ye Mo set up the formation suddenly felt the earth below them shiver. The two heard a heavy rumble and the extreme grade spirit range exploded a milky white stream of spirit chi out into the sand sinkhole.

Moments later, another crack sounded and a counter rotation formation was formed. The spinning sands slowed.

The two rejoiced seeing the formation was set up. Cha Qizhao was left outside to guard the formation while Xie Zhengshi went inside the formation to guard it for Ye Mo.

At the same time, Ye Mo scanned with spirit sense into the sand sinkhole. It was still spinning rapidly and had a pull on him, but it was far weaker than before. However, he still couldn’t scan his spirit sense in. It disappeared immediately.

Xie Zhengshi could see the huge sinkhole, but Ye Mo was gone. He admired Ye Mo, even he didn’t dare to go in such a sinkhole. Ye Mo’s power was higher than his, but he was at most truth realisation state peak stage – could he be an immortal?

...

When Ye Mo came in, he felt the powerful pulling force trying to pull him away as though taking him to the depths of the earth. There seemed to be a sinkhole within a sinkhole, there were countless layers.

Ye Mo felt an extreme sense of dizziness. In this extreme dizziness, he couldn’t even stand properly, much less break the seal flag.

But he wasn’t worried now, he wasn’t a Mr. Nood Guy. Although he was sure that Xie Zhengshi wouldn’t impede him, he still took some precautions.

Ye Mo didn’t fully use the power of the counter rotation formation, he spirit treasured up tens of hidden formation flags. He learned these from the Ice God Forbidden Grounds.

The main purpose of this was to set up a counter rotation formation inside the sinkhole. It would use the same spirit source as the formation outside but Xie Zhengshi wouldn’t be able to see it. If Xie Zhengshi wanted to see inside the small counter rotation formation inside the sinkhole, he would have to go inside the sinkhole. Ye Mo didn’t believe Xie Zhengshi had the guts to do so.

Ye Mo also knew that he needed to set up this counter rotation formation rapidly or he might be swept away by the sinkhole.

In fact, he didn’t even need to move and the sinkhole spun him around a few times, faster and faster. It was as though the next moment, Ye Mo would disappear into the ground.

With Ye Mo’s power, he could only barely keep his consciousness, but in that time, Ye Mo had already set up the formation. As he threw out the controlling formation flags, the formation would close.

The next moment, Ye Mo slowed down and the spinning sand didn’t have much effect on him. He stopped and saw clearly what was around him

This was a huge sand ditch, inside the ditch was sand as well.

There was nothing at the sand in the botto
