World of Cultivation - Volume 05 - Charge Out of the Ancient Battlefield

by Fang Xiang

  Some old businesses had a good reputation in this field.

  What Hong was hired to collect was this kind of seed soul.

  The little girl was a daring one. In the beginning, she had been scared to due Zuo Mo’s reputation but she quickly became excited. When she saw the endless stream of people registering, she became even more excited.

  Cang Ze looked at the packed mass of registrants. His vision blackened and he almost fainted. When he saw the major yao channels with their logos, his scalp prickled and his consciousness almost shattered. No, he hopelessly shouted in silence from the bottom of his heart!

  Looking over it all, all the yao channels that he had heard of were present and there were even many he had not heard of.

  “There is a bit too many!” the black smoke yao said weakly. He swallowed. The amount of registrants far surpassed his expectations. A hint of regret formed. They had played it too big this time … …

  The orange-haired yao wasn’t nervous at all. He was very motivated, laughing with his hands on his hips. “Ha ha ha ha, this is fated to be the day that I become famous! I will quickly surpass you, Brother, feel the great pressure! Do not be nervous, I’m very loyal, but I won’t let you off!”

  Zuo Mo did not hear the orange-haired yao’s words at all. There was only a jingshi ocean in his eyes, vast and rippling with an attractive light.

  Ooh ooh ooh, it was enchanting!

  By Zuo Mo’s side, Nan Yue was slightly excited. She balled her fists, and made a resolution. She had to make money for Daren!

  ———

  “Who could have thought of it? Who could have thought of it? Just after Feng Xin Zi reconstructed the third prison, just as everyone is maintaining their silence due to their previous scorn of the Genius Alliance, Xiao Mo Ge made a move no one expected. This matter has been deflected dramatically into a new direction.”

  “No matter how powerful the Genius Alliance is, Miss Ji Li Yu, and Mister Qinghua Zang Shui have all tripped when facing Xiao Mo Ge, and this blemish cannot be erased. At this time, people finally remember that the Genius Alliance has their eyes at the top of their heads did not get their face back from Xiao Mo Ge! Of course, maybe Miss Ji Li Yu and Mister Qinghua Zang Shui cannot represent the Genius Alliance.”

  “If the two sides are facing off, then Xiao Mo Ge’s move this time is shockingly sharp!”

  ———

  Wearing a deep blue mask was covered with silver flower patterns and filled with a strange presence. At this moment, the eyes behind the mask were filled with coldness. Murderous intent flashed across the eyes, sharp as a blade’s edge, but that pair of amber eyes quickly became calm like a deep lake.

  “Xiao Mo Ge … …”

  A slow and light sigh sounded behind the mask like tendrils of smoke and did not dissipate for a long time.

  Her steps were slow, her upper body not moving at all as though she was sliding on ice. Her appearance was unspeakably elegant and ethereal.

  She glanced at the registration area that was tightly packed before turning to look at the completely transformed prison battlefield.

  “Hm!” A light sound came from behind the mask. There was a thread of surprise in her eyes. Formations! Xiao Mo Ge was actually skilled in formations. She noted it down inside. After studying outside the prison battlefield for a few moment, she turned and walked towards the registration spot.

  Wherever she passed, the crowd seemed to be moved aside by an invisible hand and created a passageway.

  Some yao with fiery tempers turned and prepared to swear. When they saw the dark blue mask, their expressions changed, and the words that had reached their mouths were swallowed back down. Anything that could be brought into the Ten Finger Prison were treasures! On this yao’s face was a soul mask. It was an extremely rare treasure. Those that possessed such a great treasure, if they were not rich, they were powerful!

  And when they saw the streaming figure of the masked female yao, their hearts jumped! They recognized power!

  Just like this, the masked female yao did not encounter any resistance and walked directly in front of Hong.

  “You want to register?” Hong also noticed this unusual female yao and raised her head to ask.

  “Yes.” It was possible to hear from the voice coming from behind the mask, that this was a female yao. She threw out a seed soul.

  Hong took it and was slightly surprised. “Two hundred thousand! You want to make a direct challenge?”

  “Is it not possible?” the masked female yao asked.

  Pausing, Hong nodded hurriedly. “Possible, possible.” Then she shouted towards the inside of the formation, “Daren, there is a person who is challenging you directly.”

  After shouting, she said to the female yao, “You can go in. Don’t worry, the formation will not attack you.”

  The masked female yao walked steadily inside the prison battlefield. She did not seem to fear those strangely changing formations at all.

  ———

  “Formations! Xiao Mo Ge actually knows formations?” Su Wei turned his face with astonishment. “This guy does have some skills. I remember you’ve always had an interest in formations. You didn’t come to such a low-level place like the first prison just for this? And pulling me along as well. Bro, I’m very busy.”

  Ming Jue Zi shook his head. “I have only found out today that he knows formations. This guy is very strange.” He said with deep meaning, “He can control this prison.”

  “What?” Su Wei’s eyes widened suddenly. “That’s impossible!”

  He knew what controlling a prison meant.

  “Look at the prison battlefield.” Ming Jue Zi pointed at the completely transformed prison battlefield. “This place has completely changed.”

  “That doesn’t mean anything.” Su Wei did not believe it. His head shook like a rattle drum. “He reconstructed this prison and naturally has the home advantage. This degree of transformation does not prove anything.”

  Ming Jue Zi did not argue. “You’ll understand later.”

  He thought back to the recording yao arts that he had been studying in recent days. He had bought them for a high price from a little yao called Jin Zhen. Jin Zhen had been involved in attacking Xiao Mo Ge that day, and the recording yao art recorded everything he had encountered that day.

  The deep and cryptic yao art problems on each pillar of the dazzling cage of light astonished him.

  He knew that Su Wei and the others didn’t even have any attentions to look at a little yao that was muddling through the first prison. Previously, Su Wei had mocked him for wasting time on such a little personage, but as he studied more, the shock and puzzlement in Ming Jue Zi’s heart accumulated.

  There were too many places that he could not understand and think through.

  He had read through a large amount of information to find something similar to the high-level yao arts that the two followers of Xiao Mo Ge had used that day. This discovery instantly attracted his attention, because these high level yao arts that were possibly a match were both lost a long time ago.

  He also researched the background of Xiao Mo Ge’s two followers. What was worth celebrating was that while Xiao Mo Ge’s origins were unknown, it was not hard to find the origins of the two followers.

  The male yao was from the Grey Clan, a clan that had declined. The female yao came from the South Sky Wisteria Clan, a yao clan that was almost extinct. The intelligent Ming Jue Zi quickly found something worthy of deep thought.

  Both the Grey Clan and the South Sky Arrow Clan were yao clans that could be traced back to three thousand years ago. The reason that the high level yao arts of the two clans were lost were strangely the same, they were lost in the great war three thousand years ago.

  The formations in front of him … … looked like a xiuzhe’s seal formations.

  These unusual traces caused Xiao Mo Ge to become even more mysterious.

  But he did not tell any of this to Su Wei. There was too much spec
ulations. He also believed that Xiao Mo Ge would shock Su Wei greatly.

  Su Wei was also wondering inside. Even though Ming Jue Zi did not focus on what he should be doing some of the time, but his intuition far surpassed normal yao. Did this Xiao Mo Ge really have something strange about him?

  Just at this time, he saw a familiar figure walking towards the prison battlefield from the corner of his eyes. His expression instantly became strange.

  “Yu Zi Zhou has come as well! Is this person going to go up?”

  Ming Jue Zi saw that figure and stilled.

  ———

  “Big Sis, you really aren’t going to send someone?” Ji Cheng suppressed the impulse to laugh and asked Ji Li Yu seriously.

  Ji Li Yu lightly snorted. “Such a small person, is he worthy of my attention?”

  “He besmirched our Ji Family’s reputation. How can we let him off?” Ji Cheng pretended to be indignant as he said.

  “Let him off?” Ji Li Yu giggled. “He will quickly get a taste of trouble.”

  Ji Cheng hurriedly asked. “Does Sis have some insider information?”

  “You want to know?” Ji Li Yu raised her eyelids.

  “Want to know, want to know!” Ji Cheng nodded rapidly. He was very curious. He had originally thought that Old Sis’ was going to send an expert to teach this guy a lesson. The Ji Family did not lack for experts. Who would have expected that Old Sis’ had ordered the clansmen not to go make trouble for Xiao Mo Ge.

  If he hadn’t seen Old Sis’ look as though she wanted to eat Xiao Mo Ge raw, he would have thought that Old Sis’ was interested in Xiao Mo Ge.

  “I’m thirsty. Get me some Heart Moistening Fruits,” Ji Li Yu casually said.

  “I knew it. It’s like this every time,” Ji Cheng muttered. He obediently went to get the Heart Moistening Fruits and put them in front of Old Sis.

  Ji Li Yu opened a Heart Moistening Fruit. The glistening and tender flesh of the fruit and her long and white fingers formed a beautiful picture.

  “Yu Ji Zhou has pursued me for so many years. How can he let go of such a chance as this?” Taking a small bite of the Heart Moistening Fruit, Ji Li Yu’s expression was like a child eating candy in secret. “Even though I do not like him, he is a good subordinate.”

  Chapter 380: The Blue Flowers of Qinghua Xue

  Zuo Mo was waiting for the first person to directly challenge him.

  Even though he did not know how much two hundred thousand in the yao world was in terms of jingshi, but from the responses of Nan Yue and the others, he could see it wasn’t a small sum.

  He really could not understand it. If it was him, would he spend such a considerable sum of jingshi to have a fight with someone else? Didn’t they have anything else they could do? But there were so many registrants. For the bounty? Or for One Mole?

  Zuo Mo was very surprised by the reach of One Mole’s influence. He thought back to the interaction that day. Other than using an illusory art the moment they met, he did not feel there was anything special about One Mole.

  When Zuo Mo saw the challenger clearly, he paused and then asked Pu Yao, “Pu, how can there be masks in the Ten Finger Prison?”

  “What is strange about that?” Pu Yao was discontent at being interrupted while teaching the Guard Camp. He said impatiently, “Golden Souls can be brought in, it’s natural other things can also be brought in. Right, I’m very busy, don’t bother me!”

  Burning the bridge after crossing the river … … Zuo Mo muttered inside. Before he got the Golden Soul, this guy’s attitude was great. The moment he got it, he instantly made a one hundred and eighty degree turn. Zuo Mo expressed deep disdain at Pu Yao’s horrid conduct.

  His gaze landed on the blue mask of the other person, and felt this object was very useful. He hadn’t come to the Ten Finger Prison to make money. He needed to think of a way to find information on the Battle of Sealed Extinction.

  Thinking about his present situation, the joy in Zuo Mo’s heart at making money faded greatly.

  “Start.” Zuo Mo focused. It was not fun to divide one’s attention during a fight.

  Qinghua Xue carefully examined Xiao Mo Ge in front of her. The other’s eyes were peaceful and was not arrogant like the Xiao Mo Ge of the rumors.

  She remained silent and threw this question to the back of her mind. Since she had already entered the battlefield, why think of all these details?

  She stepped forward, and the silent pupils suddenly lit up with a pressuring light.

  The female yao that had been peaceful and serene like a lady was like a longsword that was unsheathed from its scabbard. The cold icy presence was like an visible wave that rushed towards Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo’s heart wavered. His eyes became serious and he also stepped forward with his right foot.

  The presence around him also changed. It was like the wind that blew from the desert, carrying a heart-shaking viciousness that rushed up without fear.

  Pia pia pia!

  Countless sparks formed like popcorn between the two.

  The light in Qinghua Xue’s eyes grew, so bright that one could not stare directly at it. From since she was very little, she had started to practice [Blue Flower]. This had become a routine of her life and she had never stopped. She didn’t even know what level she had reached with her [Blue Flower]. Was it high or low?

  This was the first time she fought, and it was the first time she channeled [Blue Flower] without holding back.

  An unprecedented feeling flooded out of her body. The familiar power of [Blue Flower] seemed slightly strange to her. Under the stimulation of this domineering yet unfamiliar power, a strong yet unfamiliar feeling formed as though something was moving inside her heart.

  She had a strong sense she could do it! Under the stimulation of this emotion, she was filled with anticipation towards the upcoming battle. She felt like there was a monster hiding in her heart that revealed its great horns at this time.

  Anticipation, terror, and wonder all mixed together causing her to be briefly dazed. When she refocused, she found a familiar light in her hand.

  [Blue Flower]!

  When Zuo Mo saw that blue flower, his pupils suddenly shrunk! Damn it, a yao from the Blue Flower Family!

  He had almost tripped up on the [Blue Flower] that Qinghua Zang Shui had released. If it wasn’t that the orange-haired yao could naturally suppress the blue flower, it was uncertain what the outcome would have been.

  Zuo Mo’s figure suddenly retreated. Usual yao arts were of no use against the blue flower.

  As he retreated, his eyes were tightly locked onto this blue flower. A strong feeling of danger formed. The hairs on his body stood up on end.

  This blue flower was even more beautiful and complete than the one Qinghua Zang Shui had released, and even more dangerous!

  The mask wearing female yao was more powerful than Qinghua Zang Shui!

  When Zuo Mo noticed a second blue flower forming on Qinghua Xue’s hand, his eyelids couldn’t help but jump. If he kept on retreating, as the number of blue flowers increased, his situation would become increasingly dangerous!

  Thinking about this, Zuo Mo gritted his teeth. A gold light flashed at his feet and he suddenly charged forward.

  With such urgency, he did not hold anything back. The gold light flashed on his feet and his figure moved like lightning!

  To capture the group, capture the leader first!

  Experienced in combat, Zuo Mo instantly made a decision. Since the blue flower was hard to defeat, then he would directly attack the true body!

  Zuo Mo’s figure disappeared from where he stood and appeared like a ghost in front of Qinghua Xue.

  The hard lightning covering his hand crackled and long arcing streaks of electricity danced as his fist chopped towards Qinghua Xue’s head like an axe of lightning!

  The domineering presence of the hard lightning caused terror to form in Qinghua Xue’s heart. But this bit of terror was washed away by the excitement that came
after. She elegantly let go of the blue flower in her hand.

  The blue flower floated in front of her and suddenly gave a dazzling light.

  Zuo Mo felt as though his blow was stopped by a flexible yet soft invisible wall. The domineering and savage yang fiend hard lightning was forcibly stopped. Zuo Mo knew the situation was not good and he quickly reacted. His open palm shifting to a crane strike and the rampaging yang fiend hard lightning steamed out of Zuo Mo’s fingertips.

  Boom!

  The blinding silver and blue lights exploded between the two people. The flooding power suddenly lost control and swept in all directions.

  The two figures were separated.

  The blue flower in front of Qinghua Xue had disappeared, and Zuo Mo looked to be in a sorry state with many dots of blue on his body. His hanging right arm was continuously trembling. He looked at the other. The yang fiend hard lightning he had just used was the strongest he could create but it still was unable to harm the other. In this short round, he was able to judge that the female yao was much stronger than Qinghua Zang Shui. The two were not on the same level.

  Such a powerful yao art!

  However, he had not been defeated!

  Seeing another blue flower flying at him out of the corner of his eye, Zuo Mo’s figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood again.

  The Blue Flower was powerful, but it was not without its weak spots.

  Zuo Mo’s mind was clear, he did not rest as he moved at high speeds, and released twelve yang fiend hard lightning blows in succession! The twelve yang fiend hard lightning charged at Qinghua Xue from all directions. It was a pity that he could not cultivate [South Sky Arrow Art]. The vine arrows that Nan Yue shot were faster than yang fiend hard lightning.

  It was the first time Qinghua Xue had ever fought but she displayed extraordinary talent at combat. In a moment she was surrounded, but Qinghua Xue did not panic at all. She took a deep breath and a clear shout came from under the mask, “Blue Flower Clothes!”

  Before her shout was complete, tendrils of blue vines of light appeared on her body. The blue vines of light spread and wrapped around her legs, then her waist, and then her arms. In a blink, the blue vines covered her entire body like a blue flower closing its bud.
