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

by Fang Xiang

  “That’s reasonable!”

  ———

  “The young master of the Cloud Pavilion and Xu Zheng Wei went to Turtle Island.” Tian Heng Bo ran in excitedly.

  “Oh.” Tian Yong Qing did not stop what he was doing and said without raising his head, “That is very normal, didn’t they say that the Cloud Pavilion stopkeep looked down on those people. Of course Liao Qi Chang would visit to explain, he is a businessman.”

  “Should we go find him and ask?” Tian Heng Bo said.

  “Ask what?”

  “We don’t know anything. If they went onto the island, they definitely have learned a lot,” Tian Heng Bo said certainly.

  “They went onto the island but they may not know anything.” Tian Yong Qing stopped what he was doing and his expression was stern. “Also, do not offend Liao Qi Chang!”

  “He is just a businessperson, do you need to be this nervous?” Tian Heng Bo’s expression was rebellious.

  Tian Yong Qing was not affected. “If you do not want to cause trouble for our Tian Family, do not provoke him!”

  Tian Heng Bo finally could not suppress it. “Don’t allow this, don’t allow that, will information just drop down from the sky while we sit here at home?”

  Tian Yong Qing thought for a moment and said, “Tell Gu Xiang Tian about this event.”

  Tian Heng Bo’s eyes lit up, “Good idea!”

  ———

  Yi Zheng’s mood was slightly low.

  Even though they had left that damned place, he felt the present state was akin to house arrest. He had tried to ask Daren if it was possible to release him back to Great Buddha Temple. As expected, Daren had refused.

  He did not think that Daren would really release him. He knew too many things that he should not know, like the destruction of a battalion belonging to Kun Lun. If there was nothing wrong with Daren’s mind, just this one event was enough that he wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

  In reality, he already thanked the heavens and earth the other hadn’t killed him yet.

  Compared to Kun Lun, Great Buddha Temple wasn’t anything. The other didn’t even blink when they killed thousands of Kun Lun people in one go. It wouldn’t be any hardship, to them, to slice him up.

  Yi Zheng had a good estimation of himself and had no unrealistic delusions. Due to this, his mood was increasingly bad.

  He had thought about escaping, but this idea only spun once in his mind before it intelligently disappeared. This group of people seemed cheerful and rambunctious while they were not working hard on their cultivation but the entire island was strictly managed behind the scenes. Any change in the wind and grass, these people would definitely kill without any questions asked.

  He might be from Great Buddha Temple which could be considered a famed sect, but meeting this group of lawless brutes, he did not presume he would have an advantage relying on his background.

  When he thought about the jindan on the island and a dhayana xiu who had wish power beside him … …

  He obediently did not move.

  But when could he get all the ling dan for Eldest Shixiong?

  He suddenly stopped. Yes, why had he left the mountain? Wasn’t it so he could make ling dan for Eldest Shixiong?

  Was he unable to make medicine right now?

  No, Daren would not stop him from making medicine. He had been with this group for a while and his understanding of Daren had formed. Truthfully, Daren was very easygoing and emphasized emotions. If he told Daren he wanted to make medicine for his Eldest Shixiong, Daren definitely would not forbid him.

  And those medicine?

  That wasn’t hard to make!

  He thought about the point system of the camp. With enough points, he could trade for the things he wanted with Bao Yi. If Bao Yi did not have them, the other would think of ways to buy them. The prerequisite was that you had enough points.

  Then he could start earning points!

  Yi Zheng’s eyes became brighter.

  He came from Great Buddha Temple. Even though his cultivation was not as deep as Zong Ru, but the dhyana methods he knew might not be any less valued, like how he had recently helped heal Xie Shan.

  If he could make ling dan, even if he could not leave, he could ask someone to deliver the pills to Eldest Shixiong so Eldest Shixiong could still be healed!

  Yi Zheng’s mind was suddenly opened!

  ———

  The island affairs gradually progressed, but Zuo Mo was concerned about the fifteen thousand mu of ling fields.

  It would really be a pity if they could not use such a large area of ling fields, and Zuo Mo noticed that much of the ling fields were degrading due to being left unused and uncared for. Even though the degradation was not significant yet, the situation was not good.

  Zuo Mo had examined all the ling plant farmers on the island, and had not found any outstanding people.

  What was needed most urgently were ling plant farmers. Only by recruiting more ling plant farmers would make it so that the ling fields on the island would not be wasted.

  Thinking about the wasted ling fields on the island, Zuo Mo seemed to see countless jingshi slip through his fingers. He felt great pain and hurriedly called Shang Wei Ming, taking the group together to fly towards Xu Ling City.

  ———

  As the biggest city in this area, Xu Ling City possessed all the necessary licensing offices, the Institute of Ling Plants among them.

  Under Shang Wei Ming’s guidance, he quickly reached the Institute of Ling Plants in the city.

  The Institute of Ling Plants was not large, and the most unique attribute of the institute was the ling flowers and grasses that could be seen everywhere. Compared to other institutes, the Institute of Ling Plants was like a flower bouquet.

  Walking into the Institute of Ling Plants, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but think about the first time he walked into an Institute of Ling Plants, His joy at receiving the ling plant farmer jade medal. Those normal and average days seemed like they were just yesterday.

  The green carpet under their feet suddenly moved, and spread out like a hand, it lifted everyone up.

  It was the first time Ma Fan and Lei Peng came to an Institute of Ling Plants. They instantly jumped in fright as though they were facing a great enemy. Zuo Mo hurriedly explained what this carpet vine was. At the side, Nian Lu fell back in laughter, pointing at the two and calling them country bumpkins. Ma Fan and Lei Peng were very embarrassed.

  Shang Wei Ming felt it was hard to believe. There were people that had never been to an Institute of Ling Plants?

  Just as he was thinking, the carpet vine under their feet suddenly floated up and flew into the building.

  “This is pretty interesting!” Lei Peng bent down and brushed the leaves of the carpet vine with curiosity.

  Ma Fan did not have as thick of a face as Lei Peng. He once again resumed his usual calmness, and pretended to be scanning the surroundings. Today, Zong Ru was in meditation, and Xie Shan was wounded from the previous battle. Even though he had gone through Yi Zheng’s healing, he still needed rest. Wei Sheng was teaching the sword xiu of Vermillion Bird Camp. Zuo Mo hadn’t wanted to disturb him so he had called Ma Fan’s trio to accompany them.

  The trio was only a step away from jindan and their combat capabilities were significant. With the three at his side, Zuo Mo felt very safe.

  Compared to the people that were sight-seeing, Zuo Mo looked much more closely at the surroundings. There were many ling plants and grasses that he had never seen before. It seemed that this Institute of Ling Plant was strong.

  There were differences in the strength of different institutes. Of course, the exams for jade medals would generally be standardized. This was one of the reasons that all kinds of jade medals were used widely. But the licensing offices would also have other businesses other than the exams. For example, the Institute of Ling Plants would sell seeds of ling grasses and flowers, and would sometimes buy the mature ling grasses and flowers th
at other ling plant farmers grew.

  Of course, the opportunities to find a job was a free service.

  Zuo Mo had come this time to see if he could recruit ling plant farmers.

  Thinking about those ling fields that were being wasted, Zuo Mo felt his heart was burning. Even if he could not get enough to utilize it all, recruiting one more person would mean a bit less of the ling fields were wasted.

  The carpet vine’s speed was not fast but very steady. What was ahead of them was a wall that was covered in all kinds of creepers.

  When everyone flew close, the flower vines on the wall retreated like the tide towards the side.

  In front of them stood a middle-aged person.

  “You are Zuo Mo?” the middle-aged person asked coldly.

  “Who are you?” Zuo Mo instantly became wary, and the faces of the people beside him also changed.

  “That’s good!” The middle-aged person was expressionless. At this time, a clear shout came from Zuo Mo’s head, “Fall!”

  There was an ambush!

  Zuo Mo was shocked. Before he could reach out, a seven-colored rainbow light fell from the sky and covered them!

  Chapter 450: Black Gold Seal Soldier

  Zuo Mo felt the surroundings suddenly change.

  The middle-aged person in front of him was still coldly staring at him, but Ma Fan and the others who were beside him had disappeared.

  What was going on?

  Zuo Mo’s eyes instinctively narrowed.

  “You don’t need to search.” The middle-aged person’s tone was icy. “Sixth-grade Thousand Gem Illusory Disk, if you are not in yuanying there’s no way you can escape! Do not make meaningless efforts.”

  Idiot! Zuo Mo thought inside. His body suddenly disappeared from its current location and appeared behind the middle-aged person. His right hand inserted into the other’s back like a poison snake darting out of its nest!

  Instantly it penetrated through!

  The same moment as when he struck, Zuo Mo’s expression changed slightly.

  Not good!

  The figure in front of him rippled, and with a pop, had disappeared.

  Illusion!

  “Haha!” The middle-aged person’s smug smile sounded from all directions and echoed. “Just as vicious as expected! However, aren’t you first going to ask why I am attacking you?”

  Zuo Mo’s thoughts flashed, and he followed the other’s lead to ask, “Who are you? Why are you attacking me?”

  “Hmph! Even if you did not ask, I would have said it! Letting you you understand why you are dying! This one is Gu Xiang Tian. I owe much to the Ren Family, and they died by your hands. I do not want to ask what happened between you, but I repay what I owe. They died, so I cannot repay them normally. Instead, I will take your head in sacrifice to them and finish this cycle of karma between me and them!”

  “Really?” Zuo Mo was not affected. He furiously searched for a trace of the other using his perception yet there was a strange power filling the surroundings. When Zuo Mo’s perception extended three zhang away from him, it would become chaotic.

  This Thousand Gem Illusory Disk was as strange as expected! The formations within it could confuse the consciousness, and it was the first time Zuo Mo had ever encountered such a thing. Zuo Mo became alert. It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to easily escape today.

  However, he was not afraid. He had come through so many bloody battles and wouldn’t be afraid such a battle.

  At this time, a voice rumbled as though it was coming out of the ground.

  “Born to Battle!”

  The sound echoed in his ears!

  “Born to battle … … born to battle … …”

  Zuo Mo’s expression suddenly changed!

  A seal soldier!

  A figure slowly appeared at a place about ten zhang from him.

  Zuo Mo inhaled sharply!

  As expected, a seal soldier!

  Compared to the seal soldier that Zuo Mo had used before, the seal soldier in front of him was much smaller. It was about the same size as a real person and appeared extremely realistic. He had a cold expression, his body seemed to be made from steel, and its muscles were clearly defined and had a metallic sheen. There was no armor and the balanced figure was beautiful.

  His feet were bare, the empty eyes had no emotion as though he was dead.

  He looked coldly at Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo’s hairs suddenly stood on end. The seal soldier in front of him gave him unprecedented pressure. He felt as though he was being targeted by a vicious beast and didn’t dare to move at all!

  “Haha! To die by a sixth-grade black gold seal soldier, to die inside the sixth-grade Thousand Gem Illusory Disk, your death is worthy!”

  Sixth-grade?

  Zuo Mo jumped in fright and his pupils suddenly contracted!

  The black gold seal soldier in front of him disappeared!

  Not good!

  The blurry outline of a leg suddenly appeared in front of him!

  The arm Zuo Mo hurriedly held up in defense was like a fragile wooden shelf that instantly collapsed!

  Bam!

  Zuo Mo felt as if he was just hit head-on by a charging rhinoceros mo. He could not control his body. Like a sandbag, he flew backwards into the air!

  Such terrifying power!

  Zuo Mo was shocked. He was at a disadvantage in physical strength!

  How was this possible?

  Even since he had cultivated the mo physique, his physical strength had grown, and when he cultivated into the Great Day mo physique, he had never met an opponent that could rival him in physical force!

  Now he had been defeated based on his strongest area, physical strength. Zuo Mo found it hard to digest!

  At this time, a feeling of danger formed. Zuo Mo could not attend to anything else and suddenly curled into a ball. Enormous pain passed over him him from his flank. Zuo Mo made a muffled grunt. The other’s kick was enough to make him feel as though his skeleton was going to come loose.

  The ground magnified in his eyes. Zuo Mo knew that the seal soldier’s attacks would not end so easily. Just as he was going to hit the ground, Zuo Mo gritted his teeth, his hands pushed out, with lightning speed, against the ground. His entire body suddenly changed direction, while in such a strange posture!

  Woosh!

  Zuo Mo could clearly feel the blade-like air flow right against his back.

  Escaping, Zuo Mo’s posture changed again. His body furiously flashed about, on tip-toes, and distanced himself from the enemy!

  The black gold seal soldier did not pursue but stopped at the previous position.

  Zuo Mo panted heavily as his gaze tightly followed the black gold seal soldier. Waves of pain came from his back and caused the corners of his mouth to twitch uncontrollably. If this was any other normal jindan xiuzhe, if they were not dhyana xiu, they would have lost half of their life after being hit twice like this.

  How long had it been since he was this disheveled?

  There seemed to be two fires burning in Zuo Mo’s eyes.

  “Oh, your life is pretty hardy!” Gu Xiang Tian was slightly shocked. “To be able to stop my black gold seal soldier twice and not die, are you a dhyana xiu?”

  The faint gold and transparent Light Void Wings appeared on his back, Zuo Mo’s presence also increased.

  The black gold seal soldier disappeared from his position again. At the same time, Zuo Mo also disappeared!

  Bam!

  The two figures crossed, and two fists smashed together without finesse!

  A twisted and transparent air ripple suddenly spread.

  Bam bam bam!

  The air seemed to ignite as these air ripples exploded everywhere.

  Just like the two had disappeared at the same time, the two reappeared together on their original spots as though they had not stepped away.

  A blood stream flowed down Zuo Mo’s arm, but Zuo Mo did not detect it. His eyes that were like of a wild beast as he star
ed at the black gold seal soldier opposite him!

  Thirteen punches!

  Thirteen punches with all his power!

  Even Zuo Mo’s Great Day mo physique could not avoid being wounded after thirteen fierce collisions. A gap three cun long had cracked open on his arm. This gap had formed due to the vibrations!

  However, he had not been wounded for nothing!

  Zuo Mo stared at the fists of the black gold seal soldier. Each of its fists had a golden Great Day script imprinted on it!

  Day Script Palm!

  Interlaced among the thirteen blows, Zuo Mo had used the Day Script Palm!

  “Hm, that’s strange!” Gu Xiang Tian could not maintain his calmness. “What is this?”

  The Great Day Script on the fists of the black gold seal soldier suddenly lit up, and the fists quickly melted at a visible rate into two irregularly shaped metal balls!

  The black gold seal soldier’s expression was indifferent as though he did not feel any pain at all.

  Suddenly, the two metal balls that were the hands of the black gold seal soldier once again became two new hands that were as perfect as in the beginning!

  Zuo Mo’s expression became ugly. This guy was not made from flesh and blood. When it had been him using the seal soldier to hit other people, that had been pleasurable; but now that it was him facing against seal soldier, the feeling was terrible.

  “Haha! Do not waste your efforts, stand for your death! Why struggle needlessly?” Gu Xiang Tian’s smug laughter sounded in the surroundings.

  Gu Xiang Tian’s voice was ethereal and his position was unable to be found.

  Without a doubt, it was the Thousand Gem Illusory Disk at work!

  It was the first time Zuo Mo had encountered a talisman that could take other people into it, it really was powerful! Did Ma Fan and the others know he was stuck in here? Did they too encounter danger?

  These thoughts flashed through his mind. He quickly put his attention on the black gold seal soldier in front of him.

  He found this very problematic!

  What he found problematic was not the black gold seal soldier’s power and speed. He had both of these, even though he was slightly weaker, they were on the same level. What he found problematic was the black gold seal soldier’s resilient body! To a person like him that only had ever used a third-grade seal soldier, an understanding of the sixth-grade seal soldier was something undoubtedly very distant to him.
