Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Eight – Highest Priority Order

When Zuo Mo woke up, he felt unspeakably comfortable, refreshed and rid of all exhaustion.

"Daren!" Shu Long who had been waiting at the side had a joyous expression.

Zuo Mo smiled. When his gaze landed on A Gui sitting at the side, he showed surprise. He grabbed A Gui's hand and his brow furrowed. The shen power inside A Gui's body had multiplied!

What had happened?

An increase in shen power was good for other people, but for A Gui, it would only restrain her soul even more tightly! d.a.m.n it! What had happened? Zuo Mo's expression instantly became terrible. He wanted more than ever for the shen power inside A Gui's body to completely disappear in exchange for her soul's freedom. The iciness of being restrained was the cruelest torture in the world!

"What happened last night?" Zuo Mo asked in a deep voice.

Shu Long was preparing to speak when a serene voice came from behind him. "Shen power breathing."

It was Ceng Lian'er. Zuo Mo stilled. "Shen power breathing? What is that?"

"Every person's body is like a cup of water and shen power is like the salt in the water. When your shen power cultivation reaches a certain level, your body and your shen power would reach an equilibrium and then shen power breathing will occur. That means the your body's potential is unlocked. You achieved shen power breathing last night."

Zuo Mo was confused but he knew that Ceng Lian'er knew much more about shen power than he did. After pondering it for a while, he shook his head and said, "I do feel that I've recovered my energy, but I don't detect any change in my body."

"You just opened the lock, you still need to push open the door," Ceng Lian'er said serenely.

"What does this have to do with the shen power inside A Gui's body?" Zuo Mo asked.

A strange light flashed though Ceng Lian'er's eyes. She glanced at Zuo Mo and said, "I do not know, but I know that she definitely has a connection to you achieving shen power breathing last night."

Zuo Mo's brow creased even tighter. Suddenly, his hand was tightly gripped. It was A Gui that was holding his hand. Zuo Mo stilled and then showed joy. It had been very long since A Gui had made movements like this, since she had used her shen power outside the mist village. He turned around. A Gui's expression was still wooden but that hand was tightly gripping his hand.

Zuo Mo was instantly put in a good mood.

"Daren, there was a strange situation at the Mo Skill Steles last night, and the three princesses have also reached Great Peace City," Shu Long reported.

Zuo Mo was instantly distracted by the news of the three princesses and automatically dismissed the news about the Mo Skill Steles. He hurriedly asked, "They have already arrived? Remember to go ask where they are staying."

Shu Long was slightly puzzled but he still nodded and noted it down.

Zuo Mo then asked, "How is Ye Ling doing?"

Tao Xing's mo embryos had finally been delivered. He was fearful of being late. The transaction between Zuo Mo and Bie Han scared him half to death. As a result, Zuo Mo was put onto the list of people he would pay off for peace of mind.

Shu Long had a joyous expression again. "His mo embryo processing has been very smooth. He is cultivating. Should I call him over?"

"Do not disturb him." Zuo Mo asked another question "Where is A Wen?"

"He, the orange and black yao, Nan Yue, and the others are all at the Mo Skill Steles." Shu Long said, "Bie Han has been in seclusion as he and Sin Battalion are cultivating."

Zuo Mo nodded. When he had been studying the jinzhi on Sin Battalion, he discovered that Sin Battalion could cultivate. However, the cultivation method was very strange. After he engraved the mo matrices, Bie Han also needed to adjust. For a battle general, any tiny change in the battalion was something that could be crucial to victory.

"How are you processing the mo embryos?" Zuo Mo asked.

Of the mo embryos from Tao Xing, the Day mo embryo was given to Shu Long and the Nether Shadow mo embryo to A Wen.

The other people did not have enough talent and the effects of using mo embryos would not be very good.

"I have been guarding Daren, and A Wen has been at the Mo Skill Steles these days. We did not have the time to use them." Shu Long was slightly embarra.s.sed.

Zuo Mo was moved and said, "Hand the administrative matters to someone else for a few days and focus on processing the mo embryo. As for A Wen, do not disturb him." Even though processing the mo embryo could lead to a short term increase in strength, A Wen was currently enchanted with the Mo Skill Steles. Adding on the epiphanies he had, he should make great gains.

The content on the Mo Skill Steles was detailed and expansive. Once one started to study it, it would be beneficial for the rest of their life. In comparison, the mo embryo boost came fast, but it did not have long-lasting effects as studying the Mo Skill Steles.

Zuo Mo was slightly surprised that Nan Yue and the others also went to the Mo Skill Steles but he decided not to interfere in this. Stopping his thought, he also realized that while Pu Yao seemed strict with these people, he was also very attentive. He would not let them go down the wrong path.

If they were not yao, he probably would not be able to keep these mo embryos from Pu Yao.

Right now, Princess Xia had reached Great Peace City. He also had enough people. Zuo Mo's confidence grew!

He decided to go tonight to take a look. If he could directly save Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng, that would be the best.

———

Miao Jun was directing Tang Fei.

Without the Celestial Azure Essence, the possibility that he could break through to the next level was not high. Even though Azure Air Kill had allowed him to touch the doorway to understanding Domain, it had been many years Azure Air Kill was still stuck as the Azure Air Kill. He had not advanced from this level for many years.

Losing to Zuo Mo this time, he seemed to have let go of something on his mind and he became lighter. His days became easy and idle. He was the most relaxed and leisurely of all the people in the compound.

He did not have any ambitions about cultivation so his other great love started to show. After teaching Shu Long, he quickly found a new target, Tang Fei.

In his eyes, this young female with the ponytail was a piece of raw jade. When Tang Fei learned that Miao Jun was a gold battle general, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for guidance. One was willing to teach and the other was willing to learn, the compound quickly became busy.

Miao Jun frequently used the Celestial Plant Guard and the Guard Camp as subjects for demonstrations. Guard Camp was alright with this. Their strict regulations and their persistent att.i.tudes did not make them resistant to training and they learned with all of their attention. On the other hand, Shou Ping's Celestial Planet Guard was worse off. These people that were usually provided with good food and drink were so exhausted by the training that they felt their bones would come apart.

Many people ran over to Shou Ping to complain. Shou Ping could only go to Ceng Lian'er in search of help. But Ceng Lian'er said lightly, "Other people can manage it, but you cannot? How can my father's Celestial Planet Guard be so useless?"

Shou Ping's face flushed red and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. He was one of Ceng Yi's closest confidants. When had he been spoken to with such a demeaning tone? Without a sound, he turned and left. Returning to the campsite, he grabbed all the ones that were complaining and beat them up. Instantly, all of Celestial Planet Guard was silenced.

Shou Ping was like a lion released from the cage. He would lead the troops personally in cultivation. Anything that Guard Camp could do, he had to do it as well.

Tang Fei's battalion was not willing to be left behind and also worked hard.

Miao Jun did not feel anything regarding this. He did not consider Celestial Planet Guard was Zuo Mo's troop. There were not many people from Guard Camp and their combat style had already formed. Shu Long was more suited to lead them than he was. Sin Battalion was Bie Han's group. Coming from Xuan Kong Temple, he had the qualifications to lead this famous Sin Battalion. With their compatibility, under Bie Han's command Sin Battalion's strength would be stronger than under Miao Jun. Tang Fei's battalion was the weakest of all the battalions. Even though Tang Fei was willing to give the battalion to Miao Jun to train, Miao Jun was not willing.

This battalion was one that Tang Fei could use to realize her own ideals.

"Teacher, they all say that Xiao Mo Ge is a gold battle general, is it true?" Tang Fei's eyes were wide and filled with curiosity.

Miao Jun thought for a moment and then shook his head in helplessness. "Even now, Daren is someone I cannot understand clearly. I would not find it strange for anything to occur to him."

He looked at Tang Fei's doubtful expression and said with a smile, "I know that you have objections about Daren, but in reality, he is a very good person. Look at the people in the compound, especially his subordinates, they all trust him greatly and are very loyal! Also, have you noticed that his battalion is different than other battalions?"

"Different?" Tang Fei stilled and sank into thought.

"His battalion has a very unique att.i.tude, they are persistent, and will always pursue becoming stronger." Miao Jun's expression started to turn serious. "You are also a battle general and you should know how difficult it is to influence a battalion to be like this. You should also know just how terrifying a battalion like this will be."

Tang Fei pondered Miao Jun's words.

"You cannot just look at the surface of a person," Miao Jun said meaningfully.

———

"Haha! Did you hear? Tian Huan lost in front of our formations? So what if it is Tian Huan? Competing against our Golden Crow Camp in formations, they don't want to live!"

"Che, you are celebrating over such a small matter? So useless! It is a pity that the yao battalion did not charge. I wanted to see the power of the formations I set up."

"I'm really not used to being relaxed recently! I wonder how Daren is doing?"

Recently there were fewer and fewer mo that needed to have mo matrices inscribed. Other than the fact they needed to meet the threshold percentage of a bloodline, there was also the problem of loyalty. Shi Dong had only taken over Little Savage Jie recently and his control was not firm.

"Daren is so strong, there definitely isn't a problem! Shu Long and the others have reached Daren, don't worry."

"Ah, I really hope that Daren can come back soon."

"Yes … …"

Suddenly, Master Ji Wei and Sun Bao appeared in front of everyone. They all stopped talking and some people's eyes started to turn bright.

The last time the two masters had appeared like this, they had led them in the study of the mo matrices, it had been like a battle. Even though it was unusually hard, it still excited them when they thought back.

It was also this last time that they finally realized the power they possessed!

As the number of mo matrices that needed to be engrave had decreased, they felt restless from the relaxation after the tense times. Many people were dispirited and lazy.

So when the two masters appeared together, their excitement was woken up again. Everyone quieted down and looked at the two masters.

Ji Wei's expression was stern. He did not waste and directly said, "Just now, we received an emergency order from Gongsun Daren!"

Rumbles of noise sounded. People had nervous expressions. Had the state of affairs changed again?

Sun Bao did not stop the discussion below and said in a deep voice, "Please note, this is the highest priority order!"

The crowd instantly quieted and everyone's faces became grave. There was only one circ.u.mstance where a highest priority order would be sent out, when the situation was extremely dangerous!

Everyone understood something had happened!

In the silent lecture hall, Sun Bao's deep yet unusually determined voice echoed.

"We need to think of all ways in the shortest amount of time to help Guard Camp increase their combat abilities! All methods are to be considered!"

Master Sun Bao looked around and met each pair of eyes.

"This is not a request, this is an order!"

Translator Ramblings: Thanks for answering my question last chapter … … I never really had a strong opinion on Ceng Lian'er so it was really interesting to read what everyone thought. Training, training, experimenting.What does Gongsun Cha want to do?

Chapter Four Hundred and Fourteen – Fiend Corpse

Reality proved at the worries Zuo Mo and the others had were well founded. The first two days of the journey went smoothly, but they encountered trouble on the third day.

The vicious being they encountered had a human-shaped figure. It looked like a zombie. It had a human-shaped primate facing them had a vicious pair of eyes that glimmered with red light. Its entire body, including its face, was covered in fur. What was strangest was that the color of its fur was not uniform. Instead the multicolored fur created a complex and exquisite pattern that was like an unknown formation.

There was a skull hanging from its waist. It seemed to be made of jade or porcelain. There seemed to be a ball of black mist that floated it the empty eye sockets.

“Careful, this is a fiend corpse!”

From the tone of Pu Yao’s warning, Zuo Mo instantly understood this thing called a fiend corpse was posed an extraordinary danger.

He had just watched as at least three flying swords chopped at the fiend corpse’s body. Other than causing a few sparks, the attacks didn’t leave behind any mark and the rebound had almost caused the attackers harm instead. Everyone, including Zuo Mo, leapt forward. Wei Sheng, Xie Shan, and the others hurried forward to help.

The fiend corpse instantly retreated as his initial attack had not succeeded. Its right hand was pressed against the skull on its waist. Its eyes flashed with red light and its gaze was tightly locked onto Wei Sheng. It seemed to understand that Wei Sheng was the greatest threat to it. When its gaze landed on the broken sword in Wei Sheng hands, the red light grew, and the fiendish mist roiled.

The fiend corpse’s presence shocked Zuo Mo. He hurriedly asked Pu Yao. “What is a fiend corpse?”

“Corpses left in areas of dense fiendish energy do not easily rot. The fiendish energy enters the corpse and forms a fiend corpse. You have to be careful, this fiendish corpse isn’t simple.” Pu Yao’s tone was grave. “Along the way here, there were no traces of corpses. Over time even the bones had turned to dust. The formation of black fiendish energy takes time, at least hundreds of years. Meaning corpse was able to stay preserved for hundreds of years. Either it has the help of a treasure, or the corpse itself is strange.”

Treasure?

Zuo Mo’s gaze floated instantly to the skull on the fiend corpse’s waist. Was this skull a treasure? When he looked at the fur on the fiend corpse’s body that was like a formation, he felt Pu Yao’s other speculation was also possible.

Facing the fiend corpse, Wei Sheng’s expression was serious. The pressure he sensed from the fiend corpse was beyond anything he had previously experienced. Ever since he had stepped into the stage of jindan, his power had multiplied. This increase wasn’t just in cultivation, it included growth in sword essence and his mentality. He had to spend large amounts of time to stabilize his cultivation. This increase in power had caused the fiend soul beasts to become less pressuring to him.

But the fiend corpse in front of him … …

Wei Sheng could not feel even a thread of its presence. If he wasn’t staring at it with his eyes, it would seem there was nothing where the fiend corpse was standing. This shocked him. The only thing that he knew that could do this were fifth-grade ling beasts. Fifth-grade ling beasts could form void covers and hide their presences.

This fiend corpse wasn’t a ling beast, not even a yao beast, but definitely was above fifth-grade!

Vicious beings above fifth-grade could only be faced by xiuzhe in jindan or above. Zuo Mo had killed a b.l.o.o.d.y Horned Great Serpent before but that one had been forced to form. It only just touched the boundary of fifth-grade.

The fiend corpse in front of them was definitely not a normal fifth-grade vicious being. It could possibly be sixth-grade. In the world, other than xiuzhe, yao, and mo there were all kinds of beings. For these living beings, grades were used to categorize their power.

The s.p.a.ce shield of fifth-grade, the s.p.a.ce boundary of sixth-grade, the s.p.a.ce source of seventh-grade, and the scape spirit of eighth-grade. The ninth and tenth-grades were existences that almost were undefeatable and immortal.

Each grade had upper, intermediate, and lower divisions. With fifth-grade as an example, the lower level could just form the s.p.a.ce shield, the s.p.a.ce shield that formed was also very unstable. Intermediate fifth-grade had a basic and complete s.p.a.ce shield, and started to form new transformations. When it came to upper fifth-grade, the s.p.a.ce shield was almost perfect, and many transformation could be comprehended.

“Intermediate fifth-grade … …” Yi Zheng exclaimed. His face instantly became pale white. Being from a great sect, Yi Zheng’s knowledge was much broader than a country b.u.mpkin like Zuo Mo. He instantly recognize the power of the fiend corpse.

When he spoke, he frightened everyone. It had to be said that in all the major xiuzhe jie, the danger any ling beasts or vicious being posed was clear. Fourth-grade vicious beings were very rare, much less intermediate fifth-grade vicious beings. Even Yi Zheng, who was from Great Buddha Temple, was frightened. Large sects like Great Buddha Temple naturally did not lack ling beasts. Not just fifth-grade, the temple even raised a few sixth-grade ling beasts. But the fifth and sixth-grade ling beasts raised in the temple were harmless babies when compared to this fiend corpse that had formed over tens of thousands of years.

With one look at the fiend corpse, a bone-aching coldness jumped into Yi Zheng’s heart.

Wei Sheng’s expression did not change. He did not blink, and the broken sword in his hand did not waver even a sliver.

The fiend corpse stared at Wei Sheng, baring his teeth and displaying a vicious expression. Its right hand was still pressed against the skull on its waist.

The xiuzhe around Wei rapidly retreated backwards. Xie Shan, Zong Ru, Su Long, and the others came forward, and loosely surrounded the fiend corpse.

The mood became increasingly more tense.

Zuo Mo’s heart suddenly jumped, and his eyes lit up. He urgently shouted, “Xie Shan, Zong Ru, Shu Long, guard the other directions. Be wary of other vicious beings!”

The trio’s hearts shook. They rapidly retreated but were still late.

“Careful! Enemy attack!”

Chaotic shouts came from the rear and flanks. At this moment everyone’s expression changed, including Zuo Mo! Diverting attention to the front to attack the back! This fiend corpse understood misdirection!

At this moment, the eyes of the fiend corpse facing off with Wei Sheng flashed with red light, and its figure suddenly disappeared.

Clang!

A crisp sound of a metallic collision rang out so the whole camp could hear!

Wei Sheng had raised the broken sword and as he firmly parried the other’s claw! At some unknown time, the fiend souls’ ten fingers had grown into sharp white bone claws!

Clang clang clang!

The collisions were as rapid as raindrops. Some xiuzhe who had not been prepared felt their ears ring. The fiend corpse and Wei Sheng turned to two b.a.l.l.s of shadow that chased about in the air. Everyone was unable to track their shadows.

The fiend corpse’s bone claws and Wei Sheng’s broken sword crossed and matched!

At this time, Zuo Mo’s expression changed slightly. d.a.m.n it!

There wasn’t just one vicious being that was attacking them from behind! Looking at Wei Sheng who was in fierce combat against the fiend corpse, Zuo Mo gritted his teeth, turned and charged towards the back.

He believed that with Eldest Shixiong’s power, even if he could not defeat the fiend corpse, he could slow down the other! If the vicious being that was ambushing form the back was fifth-grade as well, then it was a calamity for the others. Other than the few that had their core formations, everyone else was ningmai. Ningmai xiuzhe in front of fifth-grade yao beasts were as weak as lettuce.

This wasn’t something that numbers could change. The difference in power was too great!

If one fifth-grade yao beast charged in, blood would flow in rivers. Thinking about it, Zuo Mo’s eyes instantly became red. In name, everyone in this group were his subordinates, but in his heart, they were fellows he could give his life too.

One, two … … five … … six!

d.a.m.n it! There were six!

The d.a.m.ned group!

Halfway in the air, Zuo Mo suddenly bellowed. The furious howl was like thunder that suddenly spread!

The golden yellow and fiery red flame seal armor quickly wrapped around Zuo Mo at a rate visible to the naked eye. The half-transparent and gossamer thin golden wings formed silently behind him like they were drawn by an invisible pen.

Hiss!

Zuo Mo’s figure disappeared from the air.

———

An enormous shadow covered A Wen. Within the fiendish mist, there seemed to be a small mountain moving towards him. The ground was rumbling, and pebbles were furiously bouncing.

A Wen tightly gripped his black spear. His young face was expressionless like the most practiced hunter. Having survived the dueling stadium, A Wen might be young, but he had gone through hundreds of fights, and was one that truly climbed out of piles of corpses.

But this unknown monster had pressured him to the point he almost couldn’t breathe!

Even though the other had not attacked yet, A Wen was clear this feeling would occur when the enemy’s strength was far greater than his. However, he did not retreat because this big guy had wounded several of his brothers.

Shu Long was not present, and he was the strongest one present out of Guard Camp. If he ran now, the other people would directly face this big guy. Then only death awaited them.

What should he do?

His mind moved quickly. Use his speed to slow down this big guy?

At this time, the enormous shadow within the fiendish mist revealed its true face. A Wen’s pupils suddenly shrank!

An ugly sand puppet with the body of a small mountain that was at least twenty zhang. In front of it, A Wen was like an ant. It seemed to move very slowly, but it was able to move over a large distance with each step. Many small flows of sand surrounded it like mist.

So ugly!

A Wei twisted his mouth. He knew his plan of using speed to slow down the other was no longer viable.

However … …

A cold light suddenly flashed through A Wen’s eyes. He suddenly raised the black spear in his hand.

“Hardship Guard!”

A Wen’s angry shout jolted the confused and disorganized Guard Camp and quickly calmed them down. They were well trained. After the initial confusion, they quickly organized themselves. When they saw the youngest among them, A Wen, standing at the front, these men felt their blood rise up, their necks turned red, and tendons bulging.

Without any orders, just like normal, they quickly formed the Crow Fiend Mo Killing Formation!

The spear that A Wen had raised was now tilted downwards towards his side. With both his hands grasping the spear, he pointed the tip of the spear straight at the enormous sand puppet that was approaching .

All of the hardship guards understood A Wen’s meaning instantly!

These men that had felt shame at their panic furiously channeled into the formation.

Immediately, the fiendish mist was like water that furiously flooded the formation. The fiendish mist that was absorbed into the Crow Fiend Mo Killing Formation only left behind small threads of black mist.

The slender black mist swam and gathered in one direction

—towards the very front of the formation, the individual standing with his spear, A Wen.

Translator Ramblings: Fang Xiang’s foreshadowing at the end of last chapter was very clumsy.

About Gongsun Cha winning over Yu Heng … … there are two major factors in my mind: 1) he is a talented person and he had a very good teacher. If you look at chess, there are some who become grandmasters at a very young age and some who might play for years but never reach the highest level. 2) This was a “virtual” match. Essentially, both Yu Heng and Gongsun Cha started out with approximately the same amount of strength. That doesn’t happen in real battles where the strength of the battalion, the battlefield and other factors come into play. This is like the different between building a nation in Civilization and actually founding a nation in real life.  So Gongsun Cha won in a “fair” game which his own skill was all that mattered. But if Heavy Earth Corps met Vermillion Bird Camp in real life, that would be a whole other matter.

Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Three – Spread

Wei Sheng progressed with difficulty. Each step required a great deal of concentration from him.

His clothing was in tatters and covered in dust, his entire person looked very fragile. Only that pair of black eyes showed a sharp light that seemed to penetrate the thick fiendish mist.

The dangers of this journey was hundreds of times greater compared to this trip in the sword cave.

Those soul beasts that could take form were especially vicious and cunning. They seemed to be one with the fiend mist, would silently approach to ambush and were hard to defend against. They also had an endless supply of illusory techniques that enchanted a person’s mind. If it wasn’t for the strength of Wei Sheng’s resolve, he would have fallen a long time go. They came like the wind, their speed was lightning fast, their attacks vicious. If he was the slightest bit careless, he would land in a precarious situation.

In the most dangerous incident, he had encountered three fiend soul beasts. What surprised him was that these three fiend soul beasts knew to cooperate among themselves. In that battle, he had been wounded in a dozen places. The most serious wound was so deep his rib bones could be seen.

If he did not have healing lingdan in his dimension ring, he would have died from the wound alone.

However, Wei Sheng was still Wei Sheng. Having left the sect to come to such an unfamiliar and dangerous place, it was as though he had been released from a heavy burden. The chains on his heart were shattered. He was like a bird that had escaped the cage and was unspeakably relaxed. He did not feel uncomfortable at the dangers in front of him.

He continuously experienced the ambush of all kinds of fiend soul beasts, the illusory techniques that ensnared a person’s mind. These dangers did not made him want to retreat, but tempered his sword heart even making it more refined and pure.

His talent in cultivating the sword was very exceptional in the beginning. The worldly apparition when he entered zhuji had caused everyone to feel antic.i.p.ation about his future. Even Lin Qian of mysterious origins treated his talent slightly favorably. It was possible to see just how talented he was.

Having rediscovered the calm of his sword heart, and adding on the honing from the dangerous situation, he was like a treasure sword uncovered from the dust, and gradually showed his sharpened edges!

There wasn’t much ling power left.

He thought inside as his gaze looked towards the depths of the fiendish mist. Previously, sword essence had exploded suddenly in the direction he had been travelling. This gave him hope. He had a strong feeling that he was not far from his target.

But right now, he needed to think of everything he could do and control the consumption of ling power.

He was like the most frugal miser. If he could use one thread of ling power, he would not use two threads. He also tried to absorb ling power from the jingshi in the dimensional ring, and tried to purify it of impurities. He did everything he could do.

Even so, he was a sorry figure.

Caressing the black sword in his hands, he raised his head again and walked forward with determination.

He trusted the sword in his hands.

“Shixiong fainted again?” Gongsun Cha gazed curiously at the unconscious Zuo Mo. He reached out to poke and see if Shixiong was really unconscious.

The “again” of Gongsun Cha’s words made the other people’s features twitch.

“Ehm, Daren must be cultivating a special technique.” Xie Shan found a shoddy excuse. Zuo Mo was his boss. He had to help disguise it.

Shu Long’s mouth imperceptibly curved up but he quickly became stern again.

Gongsun Cha’s face was regretful as he muttered, “I had been hoping he could help me fish today … …”

“Hm, Daren will rest. He probably will wake up soon,” Xie Shan could only say.

He had checked. There were no problems with Daren’s body.

Shu Long had been planning on reporting to Zuo Mo. He could only leave now. He was the leader of the Hardship Guards. There was a pile of matters waiting for him everyday.

The camp of the Hardship Guard was always set up separately. Walking into the camp, it was very busy.

For other people, the abundant black fiendish energy was akin to poison, but for them, it was nothing less than the best nutrients.

“Head, when will Daren come to the camp?” When A Wen saw Shu Long, his eyes lit up, and he ran over with his black spear. The other Hardship Guards also crowded over.

Shu Long felt a head but still said expressionlessly, “Daren is cultivating now. When Daren finishes, I will report at the first moment.”

“Oh.” Everyone’s sounds carried slight disappointment.

In this period of time, the Hardship Guard had all improved greatly. There were many people that had finished forming their weapons. Almost half of the Guard Camp had finished forming their weapons. Compared to before, their combat capabilities were much stronger. Some more accomplished, like A Wen, rocketed in their improvement.

In this short amount of time, he had become the second strongest in Guard Camp after Shu Long. He had just woken up from his meditation, and had gained greatly. He was very innocent and he desired Daren’s praise. Everyone in the camp had improved greatly. Every one of the flower slaves had comprehended a few spells.

Shu Long also hoped that Daren could come to the camp. That would greatly increase morale.

He hadn’t expected that Daren was unconscious again.

He could only go tomorrow, Shu Long thought.

Nan Yue rubbed her forehead as her head ached. Being forcibly ejected from the Ten Finger Prison meant that her consciousness had been wounded slightly. But at this time, she did not put any attention on her lightly wounded consciousness.

She only wanted to know one thing now—had Daren finished the prison-breaking battle!

She wanted to enter Vast Water Clear Skies again, but before her consciousness recovered, she had no way of entering Vast Water Clear Skies.

Tightly biting her lips, her heart was in the air. What would Vast Water Clear Skies look like now?

But she could only be impatient. She comforted herself, tomorrow, by tomorrow, she would know the result. No matter if Daren had completed the prison-breaking battle or not, this matter would spread tomorrow, and the result would naturally float to the surface.

Daren had accidentally activated the prison-breaking battle. Due to this, other than the first and second prison, no one had managed to rush over in time. Right now, the news had not spread, but she dared to guarantee that by tomorrow, this matter would shake all of the yao world.

This was a prison-breaking battle!

She suddenly became excited. To be able to follow such a daren, what honor this was!

In the yao word, powerful yao would usually have many followers. Many of them would become their daren’s students, but most of them would only have the ident.i.ty of a follower. However, this did not mean that they were lower than others. The guidance of a master, even if it was just a tiny bit, would greatly benefit them.

Even more, Daren had promised to pa.s.s her [South Sky Arrow Art]!

Thinking about this, she unconsciously tightened her fisted hands.

Nan Yue, you have to work hard, and cannot disappoint Daren!

She repeatedly motivated herself, her little face filled with determination. She understood her responsibilities. South Sky Wisteria Clan had already declined and was tiny. She did not think about recovering the past prosperity of the Wisteria Clan of the South Sky. Her only hope was to use her efforts to help the clansmen leave behind their situation of poverty. At least, they would have better lives.

Nan Yue, you can do it!

She told herself.

The vast ocean seemed borderless.

Water shifted at a part of the ocean, and in a moment, a terrifying whirlpool over two hundred li in diameter formed. The whirlpool spun with astonishing speed, the strong force pulling the center of the whirlpool to collapse into itself.

A deep pa.s.sage appeared in the center of the whirlpool.

A handsome male flew out of the pa.s.sage. His features were soft in its lines, a warm and elegant smile on his face that would create positive feelings, and had a transparent crystal on his forehead.

“He broke Vast Water Clear Skies, and swallowed my water breath bead as well,” the male shook his head and smiled. “Looks like a pretty talented young little yao.”

Just as he was talking to himself, a dash of fire landed from the sky.

“Ha ha! Little Qian Qian, your Vast Water Clear Skies was broken!”

A face appeared in the mountain-sized ball of fire. He was roaring with amused laughter.

Hearing the other’s appellation of him, Qian Liu’s forehead twitched. But he knew if he argued with this unreasonable guy, that was definitely going up against a wall. He could only smile and say, “Three hundred years have pa.s.sed, it’s time for it to be broken.”

The fire-faced person that had been laughing at his misfortune a moment ago couldn’t help but snort. “Hmph! Three hundreds years and no one came out. That group of old guys talk that whole set every day, there’s no use.”

Qian Liu hurriedly urged, “That can’t be said. Even though there are no experts, but their methods at nurturing intermediate level yao is very effective.”

The temper of the fire-faced person was very explosive. He swore, “Effective my a.s.s! No experts, there won’t be one to be able to be seen in public.”

“They have it hard.” Qian Liu sighed. “Supposedly, a few good seedlings have come from the yao art houses. They can be considered to have set up a path.”

The fire-face person’s temper lowered slightly, but he still growled, “It’s too late. We’ve already started the battle with the xiuzhe. If they came a few years earlier, then that would have worked.”

Qian Liu said with a smile, “It may not be a bad matter for them to arrive in time for this great battle. Without the tempering of true battle, it is hard for these people gain strength.”

“In any case, you always have excuses!” The fire-faced person clearly was impatient and did not want to stay on this topic. He changed direction. “What, don’t you want to know what the new first prison looks like?”

Qian Liu blinked. “There is still one day until the new first prison will form.”

The flames around the body of the fire-faced person stilled. He had forgotten this. He hurriedly glossed over. “What do you think this boy’s origins are?”

“How can I guess? I’ll know when I see tomorrow.”

“Hee hee, I can’t wait.”

Vast Water Clear Skies had been broken.

The news quickly spread through all of the large yao jies like it had wings, and instantly created waves. Right now, the yao army was winning on the front lines. This news was a boost in morale for the troops. All of the yao felt excited.

Was a new era about to come?

The prison-breaking battle that had not been activated for three hundred years once again entered everyone’s view. Some old yao were so excited they started to reminiscence about the prosperity of the yao before the thousand year war.

However, no one knew the origins of the mysterious guy.

All kinds of recording yao arts appeared, but people quickly found that all the recording yao arts did not have an ending, lacking the most important and crucial part.

Speculation and discussion filled every corner of the yao world. Each yao was waiting for the arrival of the second day, waiting for the new first prison to take form! Each yao desired to know—

——What would the new first prison be like?

Translator Ramblings: Wei Sheng keeps going and becomes a miser to survive. Zuo Mo is unconscious and Xie Shan is such a good subordinate to make excuses for him.

Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty One – Crazy Zuo Mo

Even a person as unconcerned with worldly affairs as Chun Yu Cheng had heard the news.

“Is there really nothing wrong with Shixiong?” Looking at a half-naked Zuo Mo that appeared like a maniac, he asked with worry and uncertainty.

Gongsun Cha shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“I heard that he’s going to build the city by himself?” Chun Yu Cheng carefully asked. He looked with slight sympathy at Zuo Mo. Shixiong was normally a fanatic, but had the pressure recently been too much , and caused him to become abnormal?

“Yes,” Gongsun Cha also responded carefully in a small voice as well, “I even asked Shixiong a few days ago if we should sweep some more xiuzhe over. Shixiong said he was going to build the city by himself.”

“So the news is true!” Chun Yu Cheng gave a long sigh, and looked again. He sighed, “As expected. I just knew that Shixiong isn’t the average person!” He looked in sympathy at Zuo Mo, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

“Shixiong isn’t normal, as expected!” Gongsun Cha gave the same exclamation as before, also turning and leaving.

Yuan Jiang’s heart trembled as he forced himself to say, “Boss, this … … this foundation, it needs to be dug deeper to work.”

Zuo Mo turned around his face, his eyes gleaming like that of a wolf.

Yuan Jiang’s face paled. Luckily, Zuo Mo only glanced at him before turning back to furiously start to dig the foundations. He jumped into the pit, his hands dancing as the soil flew. The earth hole quickly increased in depth and size with a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yuan Jiang furiously swallowed from the side, his face filled with fear. To be in the position of supervisor like this, he was to be pitied. Every time he saw Boss’ twisted features, it was as though there was an ancient wasteland beast in front of him that could open its jaws and swallow him at any moment.

He would be so frightened by Boss’ gleaming gaze to the point of forgetting to breathe whenever he pointed out areas where Boss had not met the specifications.

This world was crazy!

The frightened Yuan Jiang felt everyday was full of darkness, so black that there was no light. He could not understand what sickness Boss had that he would suddenly want to construct a city by himself.

Yes, this city was really quite small. A new city that could hold ten thousand people, the smallest of small cities, but it was still a city! As grown-up as he was, oh, please forgive him for incoherence, it was slightly dubious for Yuan Jiang who was over eighty years old to say this. However, in his eighty years of life, he had never seen, nor heard of a xiuzhe who built a city by themselves.

What made him feel helpless was that Boss was serious!

As a supervisor, Yuan Jiang thought that Boss was a very exceptional constructor. Look at that blinding speed. If someone had such a good worker under them, any supervisor would laugh. However, if the situation was changed and there was only this one good worker, then they would cry.

With Boss’ present speed, Yuan Jiang felt hopelessness about building the city.

What made him feel the greatest lack of hope was that the other was his boss!

Zuo Mo felt every piece of muscle in his body was trembling uncontrollably. He seemed to have lost control over his body. He opened his mouth like a fish that was thrown onto land, his body motionless. This body cultivation was really through. Zuo Mo felt even the insides of his head were trembling. All of his power, no matter if it was physical power, ling power or spiritual power had been completely consumed in this extreme labor.

In the plans for the city, the foundation was to be twenty zhang deep!

Zuo Mo had to use his bare hands to dig out the entire foundation!

Pu Yao was very devious … …

Zuo Mo weakly cursed Pu Yao inside. After resting for a moment, the lingdan he had shoved into his mouth earlier started to release their medicinal power. The Black Processing Meditation mat under his body continuously guided ling energy into Zuo Mo’s body. At this moment, Zuo Mo’s body was like a parched desert that was greedily sucking in any drop of medicinal and ling power.

After a while, Zuo Mo recovered some energy and struggled up. The sun above his head was slightly blinding. He turned to glance at the half completed ditch.

Taking in a deep breath, he jumped back into the ditch.

The abnormal state of Boss had long ago pa.s.sed through the entire camp. Everyone had been discussing it in secret. They couldn’t understand what Boss intended to do.

Zuo Mo mechanically waved his arms. His speed was very fast. His consciousness was continuously released and reflected every detail of the dirt around him.

Pu Yao had been right. If he could build up this city by himself, his strength definitely could breakthrough to a whole new level. But this was such a perverse plan!

Zuo Mo tightly pressed together his dry lips, pushed his head down and dug crazily.

He started to learn how to use his consciousness to inspect the surrounding dirt, how to use the structure already present in the soil to save energy. He started to understand how to frugally use ling power. Before this, he had never thought there would be a day where he would use ling power so stingily. He started to understand how to move his hands as he absorbed earth energy at the same time … …

Three days later, a square shaped hole twenty zhang deep appeared on Sky Star Peak.

Zuo Mo looked like a mud person. Only his eyes were revealed. After laughing soundlessly, he sat down and crossed his legs.

Yuan Jiang was at the side, gaping as he looked at the twenty zhang deep foundation, a foundation that had completely met the specifications. It was not just him that was gaping. The entire camp was shocked.

Those xiuzhe that had had slightly mocking att.i.tudes were so shocked they could not speak when they saw this twenty zhang deep ditch. Who could believe this was something a xiuzhe had dug with his bare hands? However, they had seen the entire process with their own eyes. Those people that had watched in order to laugh at the joke now only felt admiration.

In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao stared at the gravestone and said, “I now understand why you chose him.”

“You,” he paused after each word, “are similarly stubborn.”

The gravestone was still silent, the black clouds slowly moving around it.

Gongsun Cha looked thoughtfully at the meditating Zuo Mo and turned back to return to the camp. He ordered the xiuzhe in a low voice, “Tell Ma Fan and the others to distract some more. They need to slow them down. We need more time.”

“Yes.” This xiuzhe took out a paper crane, wrote down a secret code on it, and lightly channeled ling power. The paper crane flapped into the sky and instantly disappeared. Before, Ma Fan and the others left, they had left behind their impressions. These paper cranes could follow the impressions and find Ma Fan and the others.

Little Mountain Jie was not large. It was convenient to use paper cranes.

“What about us?” Another xiuzhe couldn’t help but ask. Other than Ma Fan and the others had each taken a platoon with them, there were still many battle xiuzhe at the camp.

The figure of Shixiong completely covered in mud appeared in Gongsun Cha’s mind. His steps slightly paused before recovering. “Naturally, we can’t be idle as well.”

Ma Fan scanned the battlefield. More than a dozen corpses laid askew on the gra.s.s. Large holes could be seen everywhere. The plains that appeared to extend without end had been torn to pieces. The ling power was lingering in the air. It almost was possible to smell the viciousness of the battle moments ago.

The enemy had all been destroyed, but one of their own had also died.

The platoon leader ‘s expression was slightly sorrowful. This was the first time that a fatality had occurred under his command. The remaining xiuzhe were silently cleaning up the battlefield and gathering the spoils. The victory had turned melancholic due to one of their own dying.

Ma Fan looked at his slightly dejected fellows and was somewhat shocked but also proud. In any group that he had stayed in before, the morale would have never dropped after a victorious battle due to one of their own dying.

Maybe, these were true fellows. Ma Fan thought idly. Just at this time, he raised his head. A paper crane flew through the sky. He held out a hand, and the paper crane flew in.

Unfolding it and reading, he muttered, “Trouble!” He then handed the paper crane to the platoon leader behind him.

“What does Head mean?” The face of the platoon leader was filled with puzzlement. There was no explicit orders on the paper crane, just telling them to try their best to delay the enemy.

Ma Fan did not reply. Noticing the cleaning of the battlefield was almost done, he adjust his clothing, and lazily said, “Get everyone to prepare. We need to leave here. The enemy will probably quickly find this place.”

“Where should we go?” The platoon leader asked with curiosity.

“Let’s go south.”

The platoon leader jumped in fright, “Isn’t that Nan Sheng Village?”

“Yes,” Ma Fan said absentmindedly.

As his understanding of sword essence deepened, his original personality started to gradually show. After the reorganization, he did not need to act as the core, and his entire person seemed to instantly have relaxed, and resumed his lazy att.i.tude of the past.

“Why are we going there? To attack Nan Sheng Village?”

Ma Fan looked at the platoon leader like he was looking at an idiot. “We only have this tiny amount of people. Attack Nan Sheng Village? Do you want to die?”

“Then why are we going south?”

Ma Fan did not look at him. He plucked a stalk of green gra.s.s and held it in his mouth, mumbling, “Killing midway.”

The sound of the whistle was like knives!

Zuo Mo opened his eyes, the light in them bright. He had meditated for three whole days! How long had it been since he had such a long meditation? Zuo Mo thought back in his mind, his heart filled with joy.

He could feel the change in his body.

Jade Metal Head, ranked fifth of all captain physiques. As expected, it was extraordinary!

He didn’t seem to use strength, but his body seemed to be pulled up by an invisible rope, and he stood up. Metal skin and jade bones. He had not experienced the benefits of these jade bones, but the benefits of this metal skin had started to clearly show.

The muscles of his body had been as hard as metal in the beginning with astounding flexibility. When he dug the foundation, every piece of muscle in his body seemed to have been reforged again. The s.p.a.ce between the muscles decreased, and the muscles became tighter and more dense. These minuscule changes increased his strength by three-tenths.

He did not need to use ling power or earth energy to easily push his hand into the bluestone.

Looking at his body covered in mud, he wasn’t angry and snickered. The Little Art of Cloud and Rain instantly appeared above his head. The rain vented and in a short while, all the mud on Zuo Mo’s body had been washed away.

Zuo Mo discovered that his skin seemed to now show a strange black sheen that seemed slightly metallic.

As he marveled, Zuo Mo took his eyes away.

Yuan Jiang, who had fallen asleep as he stood guard, was awoken at this time, and opened his blurred eyes. When he saw Zuo Mo, he instantly shook, and the drowsiness disappeared. He seemed to jump off the ground and rapidly flew next to Zuo Mo. “Boss!”

“Let’s continue! What do we do next?”

Zuo Mo looked at the deep foundation. Bravado suddenly flooded into his heart!

Come on!

Translator Ramblings: So Zuo Mo starts on the foundation. Once again, twenty zhang is about 66 meters. Poor Yuan Jiang, your subordinate is also your boss.

Ma Fan is heading down to Nan Sheng Village… … and Gongsun Cha is also heading out.

The more relaxed a chapter is, the more I like to translate it. If it is a tense chapter, and especially when it’s a fight, I like to procrastinate. Pu Yao and Zuo Mo’s interactions are some of the easiest and most enjoyable parts to translate and then I would say it would be those chapters that describe Zuo Mo’s cultivating process and thinking.
