The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1420 - 1421: Rapid Progress

The news shocked everyone. They couldn’t believe that Ye Mo and his two companions could complete an epic-level mission. Even though the Elder of Merits confirmed it, countless doubts and suspicions fell on them momentarily.

Even when Ye Mo was moving within the Wraith Clan, he caught many people’s attention, both questioning and envious.

With so many Ascending Soul Pills, advancing required no pressure, only enough soul origin absorption.

The hundred thousand Ascending Soul Pills, distributed by Zang Lian and Qin Yong, left Ye Mo with forty thousand. Ye Mo ignored the people’s doubts, planning to use his strength to slap them in the face during the Heavenly Rankings Competition.

With forty thousand Ascending Soul Pills, Ye Mo secluded himself once again.

Ye Mo entered the third layer of the Genius Badge and did not hesitate to consume two thousand Ascending Soul Pills.

As the medicinal power of the Ascending Soul Pills permeated, Ye Mo could also sense the growing strength within the Soul Sea, making the space within his Brain Domain vaster and more magnificent.

With the continuous absorption of the Ascending Soul Pills’ power, the vast spiritual energy rushed out from the Soul Sea in surging waves that shook the heavens.

It’s as if a mere wisp of soul power drawn at random is immensely potent.

Now, Ye Mo had already broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Soul Realm with the help of two thousand Ascending Soul Pills.

Ye Mo did not stop for a moment and began absorbing soul origin. Upon reaching the Fourth Layer of the Soul Realm, his spiritual energy rose to a new level.

This Soul Realm, like a container, needs the Ascending Soul Pills for expansion. Once expanded, it can absorb more soul origin. When fully absorbed and able to bear more, expansion is necessary again.

So, what Ye Mo needed to do now was expand this container.

Soul origin continued to be injected into the Soul Sea endlessly, and Ye Mo’s spiritual energy grew increasingly strong, almost reaching a bottleneck again. To break through, he could only expand the container, needing four thousand Ascending Soul Pills this time.

When Ye Mo took four thousand Ascending Soul Pills, he unsurprisingly broke through to the Fifth Layer of the Soul Realm.

Ye Mo became extremely excited and began another breakthrough attempt.

Three full days went by, and Ye Mo consumed thirty thousand Ascending Soul Pills, finally reaching the Seventh Layer of the Soul Realm. If he had more Ascending Soul Pills, he would certainly have charged forward and directly advanced to the Ninth Layer.

"Finally broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Soul Realm. That old Jin Tianzun’s Soul Cultivation is only at the Eighth Layer now. If I encounter him again, I surely won’t flee like last time!"

Ye Mo sneered. Although he couldn’t outmatch him in material attacks, he wouldn’t need to flee directly; at worst, he’d sustain severe injuries, and the other party couldn’t kill him.

Moreover, Ye Mo, with youthful vigor, although inferior in strength, would put Jin Tianzun at a disadvantage in a prolonged fight.

If he encountered Jin Tianzun again, Ye Mo was fully confident in engaging him in battle.

As Ye Mo successfully broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Soul Realm, Zang Lian rushed over anxiously, saying, "Junior Brother Ye Xiao, help me check on Taishi Qing. I’ve refined the Myriad Demon’s Fire and used it to dispel the Soul Silkworm Poison in Taishi Qing, but he hasn’t woken up."

"Take me to see him!"

Ye Mo frowned slightly; if he guessed correctly, Taishi Qing’s condition might be similar to Li Mengli’s, requiring a Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill for restoration.

"Alright!"

Zang Lian nodded and led Ye Mo to the Tantai Family.

The Tantai Family is arguably a branch family of the Wraith Clan and also supports Mengxin. Thus, when Elder Wu Chen saw Zang Lian breaking into the Mountain of Wraith, he contemplated crippling her.

Following behind Zang Lian, Ye Mo traversed mountain ranges and then saw a mansion in the distance, presumably the Tantai Family.

"Junior Brother Ye Xiao, we are here!"

Zang Lian and Ye Mo landed simultaneously and entered the mansion, meeting many disciples of the Tantai Family on the way, none of whom had very strong cultivation, with even Martial Artists of the Qiankun Mirror realm present.

These martial artists could only cultivate within the Tantai Family; only upon reaching the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm could they qualify to train with the Wraith Clan.

This is the disadvantage of branch families compared to direct lineages. Direct lineage family disciples could train with the Wraith Clan from birth, enjoying abundant resources.

"Junior Brother Ye Xiao!"

Zang Lian led Ye Mo to a room, opened it, and gestured for him to enter.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded and entered the room, which revealed a beautiful woman looking to be in her thirties.

"Zang Lian, who is he?"

Upon seeing Zang Lian bringing Ye Mo in, the beautiful woman frowned unhappily.

"Aunt Lan, this is Ye Xiao. I asked him to check on Taishi Qing."

Zang Lian explained.

"Ye Xiao?"

The woman, called Aunt Lan, scrutinized Ye Mo and saw he was quite handsome and seemingly young, and said, "What are your intentions in approaching my daughter-in-law?"

"What are you saying?"

Ye Mo almost couldn’t comprehend the woman’s words. Daughter-in-law? Could it be she’s Taishi Qing’s mother?

"Let me tell you, Zang Lian is my daughter-in-law. You had better not pursue her. Though my son is in a coma, he will wake eventually, and then they will marry."

The woman said coldly.

Her son being in a coma left her constantly in fear that her daughter-in-law Zang Lian, a genius even within the Wraith Clan, would abandon him.

"Aunt Lan, what are you saying? He’s here to help Taishi Qing."

Zang Lian grew anxious, as Aunt Lan was perpetually paranoid about her abandoning Taishi Qing.

"Help Taishi Qing? That is even more unacceptable."

The woman hastily blocked Ye Mo and said, "What if he secretly uses some tricks and my son never wakes up? Would you be a widow for my son then?"

Ye Mo shook his head and flashed his body, appearing beside the bed where someone remarkably handsome lay – Taishi Qing was notably more handsome than Ye Mo.

"What are you doing? Don’t touch my son."

The woman tried to move but found herself immobile, despite being a Divine Venerable One Soul martial artist. How was this Ye Xiao so formidable?

Ye Mo ignored the woman, used spiritual energy to probe, and then said, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, Taishi Qing is fine now; as long as he takes a Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, he can fully recover."

"What? My son is fine?"

The woman said in surprise.

"If not for Senior Sister Zang Lian using Myriad Demon’s Fire to dispel your son’s Soul Silkworm Curse, even the Clan Leader might not have saved him, yet you always suspect her. Do you know Senior Sister Zang Lian nearly lost her life saving Taishi Qing?"

Ye Mo laughed coldly.

"This!"

The woman was suddenly speechless as if turned into a tree stump.
