Chapter 60: Returning to the city

Once reaching the Energy Shaping First Realm, according to the principle of “first shaping, second shocking, third telekinesis,” a martial artist could shape Yuanli into different items, such as blades, swords, spears, and shields. “Second shocking” referred to the ability of a martial artist of the Energy Shaping Second Realm where the force of shock was infused into Yuanli. As for those who had reached the Energy Shaping Third Realm, they could grab an object and release Yuanli from a long distance away.


Even though an Energy Shaping Realm ace could easily shatter the internal organs of his opponents into pieces with the force of shock, such force was useless against the Yin Poison Snake after it absorbed the toxins, which strengthened its skin and protected its body.


“No wonder Uncle Xiao asked me to get the Yin Poison Grass for him.”


The Yin Poison Snake was not strong, but it would be difficult to be defeat.


“The Yin Poison Grass is a scarce toxic herb. If any clan practicing the refinement of toxic gas had known about it, the herb would have been taken already a long time ago. Do you really want that herb?” Ling’Er asked.


Ye Mo nodded. “Of course! One of my friends need that Yin Poison Grass.”


“Brother Ye Mo, Ling’Er recommends you to give up. Please think about it. Although the herb is guarded by the Yin Poison Snake, it is far from being a strong enemy. If there are also several tricks to bypass the snake with ease–but then how has the Yin Poison Grass stayed intact there for so long?”


Ling’Er’s advice made Ye Mo think. He had just punched the snake away, indicating others could have done the same as well.


“The Yin Poison Grass is a type of beast. If you get too close to it, it will awake and release a highly dangerous toxin or even engulf you directly. With your current strength, picking that herb is an impossible task.”


“Is there really no alternative solution?” Ye Mo asked.


“If I had not been absorbed into your Energy Center, I would have easily sealed the herb and it could no longer release the toxin,” Ling’Er sadly replied, seemingly complaining about Ye Mo.


“Stop talking about ‘if’. If I had not absorbed you into my Energy Center, I would have be dead right now,” Ye Mo replied with a contemptuous look.


Ling’Er shook her hands and heads, implying she was unable to help with the current problem.


After having a final glimpse of the Yin Poison Grass, Ye Mo had no choice but to give up and start leaving the Spirit Valley. But right when Ye Mo was about to leave the Yin Poison River, the river water suddenly rumbled behind him.


It took Ye Mo ten days to return to Limestone City. During the journey, he slayed numerous beasts, including those of the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm and those of the Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm.


Throughout the journey, Ye Mo was surprised to find that his training enabled a great breakthrough, and his strength had reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm. The Five Elements Energy Core in his Energy Centre increased in size, and his Mortal Gates could now withstand eight streams of Dragon Power.


There were 36 streams of Dragon Power in total within Ye Mo’s body. Each Mortal Gate could use seven streams of Dragon Power, an excess stream of Dragon Power could even be used on one of the Mortal Gates.


“With my current practice, I can fight any opponent of Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm!”


After everything that had happened in the Spirit Valley, Ye Mo’s strength skyrocketed, and the Dragon Power began to show its true strength.


Ye Mo seemed to have the strength of the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm. But having the full Dragon Force, he could counter a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm.


But in public, Ye Mo would not dare to show his full strength. Afterall, it was too unbelievable for a Spirit Cultivating Second Realm martial artist to win against an ace of Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm. Without anyone noticing in the wild, Ye Mo could kill any enemy he spotted and the Rising Dragon Pillar could remain a secret.


But after entering Limestone City, Ye Mo could not kill without a second thought. If his true power was noticed, he might be put to test like a lab rat.


A martial artist of Energy Shaping Realm could direct Yuanli into his opponent to investigate his body. If anyone discovered the Rising Dragon Pillar in Ye Mo, he would face so much trouble.


“Once arriving in Limestone City, my Mortal Gate shall only use three streams of Dragon Power, so I will not seem to be too strong.”


Ye Mo returned to Limestone City and hid his dimensional bracelet in his cuff. Ye Mo’s first thought upon arrival was to head to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. Upon arrival, the Pavilion was as crowded as ever. Ye Mo looked around and tried to search for somebody he knew.


“Excuse me. Are you Ye Mo?” A light voice rang beside Ye Mo’s ear.


Ye Mo turned and saw a face he had seen before. She looked beautiful, even though her face was much larger than that of Qi Ying’s.


“Yes, I am Ye Mo.”


The lady smiled and said, “Before Miss Qi Ying left, she asked me to tell you, she took Xiao Cao away with her.”


“So she had left already and took Xiao Cao with her!” Ye Mo nodded and left the pavilion. He was relieved that Xiao Cao was staying with Qi Ying, but still felt a bit unhappy about her departure. “It is not the time to think about love. Becoming stronger is more important.”


Ye Mo sorted out his emotions. There was only half a month before the competition for the Limestone Champion List. Within half a month, he had to activate more Dragon Power. Although it was easy for Ye Mo to win the championship with his current strength, who wouldn’t mind becoming even stronger?


Ye Mo returned to the Xiao Mansion and was welcomed by Xiao Feng. When Xiao Feng saw Ye Mo, he was surprised by the slight changes in Ye Mo within half a month. Furthermore, Ye Mo’s strength had surged from the Corporeal Strengthening Realm to the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, which was a terrifying speed of progress.


“Ye Mo, congratulations on coming back safely from the Spirit Valley and having a breakthrough in strength to the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm. It seems like your journey in the Spirit Valley was rewarding.” Xiao Feng laughed.


“My efforts were certainly fruitful. Where is Xiao Yue?” Ye Mo asked


“Miss Xiao has just returned from her family in Tianyong City and is now talking to Xiao Yue. I think you should practice for a while in Martial Pavilion first. Even though you have reached Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, Leng Fung and Leng Leng have also reached the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm. It will still be challenging for you to become the representative of the Xiao family in the competition.”


“I can’t believe Leng Fung and Leng Leng have reached the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm. I would love to see to what extent they have progressed.”


Ye Mo headed straight to Martial Pavilion. When Leng Leng saw Ye Mo, a surprise grin appeared on her beautiful face. She ran to Ye Mo, held his arm, and said, “Brother Ye Mo, you have finally returned from Spirit Valley. I miss you so much! Look! I have reached the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm. Oh? Have you reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm as well?”


“Leng Leng has made a great progress.” Ye Mo laughed.


“Of course! My brother has also reached the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm. There is only half a month before the competition, so don’t you lose to him,” Leng Leng said.


“Are you really looking down on me now? During my journey to the Spirit Valley, I found a High Grade Magic Weapon,” Ye Mo replied with disapproval and took out that High Grade Magic Weapon, a precious sword, from his Dimensional Bracelet. The sword was about three feet long and was emitting a faint purple glow.


“Wow! A High Grade Magic Weapon!” Leng Leng stared at the sword, her eyes sparkling.


“You can have this weapon, Leng Leng. In a few days, I will offer you and Leng Fung some Stabilizing Pills, which will assist you in reaching the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm. Let’s join the Limestone City competition together and become part of the first five on the Limestone Champion List.”
