World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

by Fang Xiang

  Zuo Mo now felt that it wasn't plausible to use Sin Battalion to capture Princess Xia. To say of nothing else, if twenty general level individuals decided to charge at once, there were definitely no battalions that would be able to withstand it.

  This was a terrifying power.

  Zuo Mo finally saw the power of Great Peace City. When the number of experts reached a certain level, the amount of strength it represented exponentially increased.

  Zuo Mo's expression changed. In the past, he had been confident, but now he found that the matter was more troublesome than he had imagined.

  Right now, he had to plan one step at a time.

  ———

  "This is the Ice Mist Mo Embryo, a kind of mo embryo produced in our Cloud Sea Jie. We found this through the mist people." Master Ji Wei pointed at something that looked like a ball of cotton. It was faintly blue and slowly moved on the table.

  "The greatest use of the mo embryo is to help mo cultivate their mo physique." Master Jie Wei said slowly and the other people listened to him with concentration.

  "The Ice Mist mo embryo is very suited to the mo that can cultivate the Ice Mist mo physique. We have discovered that once a person achieves the mo physique, their strength would multiply. The reason is that the mo embryos have complete mo matrixes. These mo matrixes are transferred to the mo through consumption; the mo matrixes of the mo embryos are absorbed and refined. They would grow alongside the mo matrixes of the user, and form a new set of complete mo matrixes."

  "During this time, through the efforts of everyone, we have continuously analyzed the mo matrix of the mo embryos. We have finally gained some understanding of the mo embryo and mo physique. Mo matrixes are good things, but very rare. Up until now, the ice mist clan has only found three mo matrixes.

  "The goal of our next stage is to create objects similar to mo embryos. We do not need them to be as complex as true mo embryos, they only need a few mo matrixes as the core. Also, we needto find mo matrixes which can be outlines for the growth of the mo embryo."

  "Form teams of three ! Every three days, we will have a collective discussion session! All raw materials are available for use and we will try to find any materials you require. You can freely test any ideas you have."

  Everyone's eyes grew brighter. They felt excited about this goal!

  They were not the ignorant country bumpkins of the past. Every person present here was skilled in mo matrixes and seal formations. In any other place, they would be talents that all the factions would fight over.

  Of all the camps on Turtle Island, Golden Crow Camp grew in size the slowest. The two masters had strict tests for every xiuzhe that applied to enter Golden Crow Camp. However, Golden Crow Camp's good atmosphere and the benefits that were unimaginably good earned the favor of all production xiuzhe in Cloud Sea Jie.

  For them, this was a difficult and enormous challenge.

  But here, no one disliked challenges!

  Everyone seated here all knew that if they completed this mission, it would be a great upheaval for the entire world!

  ———

  "Daren! This subordinate is willing to guard Orchid Home Jie!"

  Ma Fan ran to Orchid Home Jie and asked.

  "Not possible!" Gongsun Cha shook his head without even thinking. If this chaos rift was lost, the consequences were unimaginable. While Black Turtle Camp had performed well in their last battle, Gongsun Cha was still not reassured.

  "Daren! Today, Gu Liang Dao has taken another jie!" Ma Fan's words caused Gongsun Cha's expression to immediately darken. No one had expected that Gu Liang Dao, who only days before had been an unknown name, was so ferocious!

  "Daren, this subordinate will guard this place and will not attack. Even though Black Turtle Camp is not as strong as Vermillion Bird Camp, with the formations as defense it will not be easy for others to take this place if we do not leave the formation. Also, with Middle Granary Jie at our back, Black Turtle Camp can receive reinforcements at any time. This subordinate has confidence in fighting a defensive battle!"

  Ma Fan's words streamed and he did not retreat. "Also, there is Guard Camp! Even though Shu Long and the strongest members are not present, but there is a significant number of people left. No matter if it is Black Turtle Camp or Guard Camp, they are both battalions skilled in defense. This subordinate does not believe that with these two battalions and the formation defenses, we cannot hold this place!"

  Gongsun Cha was slightly persuaded. Ma Fan was right, Shu Long was not here but Guard Camp should not have a problem fighting a defensive battle. With Cloud Sea Jie's present wealth, they might be able to afford a battle of attrition.

  Everyone looked at Gongsun Cha. Everyone knew that Gongsun Cha's next orders were crucial for all of Cloud Sea Jie!

  Gongsun Cha's gaze landed on the jie map. On the jie map, the jie that Gu Liang Dao had just taken was dyed red.

  There were several red jie that had formed a shape. The shape's outline was like the edge of a blade dyed in blood that pointed directly at the faint blue path as though it would cut the path at any moment!

  Gu Liang Dao who had come out of nowhere now rivaled Jiang Zhe in reputation. The title of Xi Xuan Tiger General rang over the entire world!

  Lil' Miss' gaze suddenly calmed down.

  For him, there was nothing more important than Zuo Mo's safety. If the situation was so extreme that it required using the lives of all the people under his command to exchange for Zuo Mo, Gongsun Cha would not hesitate at all.

  This was Gongsun Cha: crazy, obsessive, and at times unreasonable! Maybe his actions would be understood by other people or maybe not, he did not care. He only cared about two things: Zuo Mo and victory!

  When Zuo Mo was present, Lil' Miss' decisions always looked gentle and harmless.

  But when Zuo Mo was not present, Lil' Miss' harsh and intolerant style was reflected in every one of his decisions.

  Everyone knew that Lil' Miss had made a decision. They stopped breathing and waited for Lil' Miss' decision.

  "Orders!"

  Woosh, everyone suddenly stood up.

  In their eyes, Lil' Miss had a calm expression. His tone was calm but it was one that could not be disobeyed. He said with a decisiveness that was as sharp as a blade.

  "Black Turtle Camp and Guard Camp will hold Orchid Home Jie together, Ma Fan has command. Green Dragon Camp will guard Middle Granary Jie and listen to Ma Fan's orders!"

  Ma Fan bowed solemnly to Gongsun Cha and said with a rare expression of graveness, "I will not fail!"

  Lil' Miss nodded and did not speak. He turned and looked at the other people.

  "Vermillion Bird Camp and A Zha Ge Battalion, immediately gather. We will depart in three days!"

  The cold order was full of fighting spirit.

  "Yes!" The commanders accepted. Everyone's faces flashed with excitement. Vermillion Bird Camp was a group of battle maniacs to start with and Gongsun Cha's style was deeply imprinted on this battalion. They were like caged beasts after fighting defensively in the past while. The blood inside them had been restless.

  Now that they received the order to depart, the fighting spirit could not be suppressed any longer.

  Gongsun Cha suddenly smiled like a blooming flower. The light of his eyes were so bright that no one could look at it directly. The smile at the corner of his mouth was as bashful as ever but the words that came out softly caused everyone's blood to boil!

  "We are going to meet Xi Xuan's Tiger General."

  Translator Ramblings: Time is of essence.

  Chapter 602: The Drunken Little Mo Ge

  Inside Great Peace Palace, laughter and conversations could be heard, beauties were plentiful and people filled all the seats! The servants weaved between the crowds of people offering food and drink as they occasionally stopped and paid their respects.

  Zuo Mo gazed at the scene in front of him with a dazed face.

  The streams of people caused him to feel overwhelmed. A pleasing tune,
a tempting fragrance of wine, and a delicious smell of food floated through the air.

  He had not expected the busy scene in front of him at all. In his imagination, Shi Yue Yi's banquet should be dignified and elegant, and even slightly solemn. Who had expected it would be like this?

  In the eyes of Zuo Mo, this was chaos! Little Mo Ge who could kill his way through the battlefield didn't know how to react when faced with this scene.

  "Hey, Brother Xiao Mo Ge!" A familiar voice came from behind him.

  Zuo Mo turned to look and instantly had an expression of joy. "Haha, Brother Lan!" The one that had greeted him was Lan Tian Long and his brother Lan Rong was beside him.

  "Brother, you didn't come find me to drink! Since we have met today, I won't spare you! We won't leave until we are drunk!" Lan Tian Long laughed vigorously.

  Zuo Mo had a pretty good impression of Lan Tian Long. At this time, Lan Tian Long's appearance was a life saver. He said, "Then I will follow Brother Lan around!"

  "No problem! In this Great Peace City, this little brother is at least familiar with the people!" Lan Tian Long easily agreed. He then introduced Lan Rong beside him. "This is my younger brother Lan Rong."

  Zuo Mo and Lan Rong exchanged greetings. Lan Rong's presence was completely different compared to Lan Tian Long, appearing delicate and serene.

  Lan Rong was filled with curiosity about Zuo Mo. He had been observing Zuo Mo in secret all this time.

  With someone leading the way, Zuo Mo felt assured he would not embarrass himself. He followed Lan Tian Long as they chatted about random things. Lan Tian Long was holding a jar of wine in his hand that was about the height of his knee. When he met someone, he would raise the jar of wine, and toss his head back to drink. He did not care about the liquid that wetted his clothing and it seemed full of bravado.

  Zuo Mo was charmed when he saw this. He copied Lan Tian Long and held a wine jar as well. He did not refuse anyone that came to him and allowed the alcohol to spill over his body. He felt that this was an unspeakably free and pleasurable manner to enjoy himself.

  Lan Tian Long's way of drinking was very unique and it was rare that he encountered someone that drank like him. His interest was stirred and he and Zuo Mo roamed around to find people to drink with!

  Lan Rong followed the two with a grimace and occasionally apologized to the people in the surroundings for the two of them.

  "I'm telling you, Old Man Shi's wine … … it is all good wine." Lan Tian Long's tongue was starting to twist and slur his words, his eyes were unfocused. One of his hands was on Zuo Mo's shoulder, the other holding the wine jar, as he said indistinctly, "You have to drink more … … if you drink more, then it is profitable … … good wine … …"

  "You are … … too right!" Zuo Mo's face was flushed. He pointed a finger and waved it. His head waved along with his finger as he said, "If one does not take the bargain … …then they are a bastard."

  "Hahahaha! Good! Come, drink!" Lan Tian Long grabbed the wine jar and gulped down with his head back.

  Zuo Mo also grabbed a wine jar and copied Lan Tian Long to drink in large mouthfuls.

  When the wine entered his throat, it turned to a wave of heat that rolled through his chest. He did not know what this wine was made from. Inside Zuo Mo's body, it was like a ball of hot fire that moved restlessly. The Sun Crystal Seed in Zuo Mo's body seemed to be stimulated and furiously spun.

  Zuo Mo felt the burning ball of flame in his chest grow and his throat burned with thirst. He wanted to drink more. Uncontrollably, he raised the wine jar and poured into his mouth.

  The moment it entered his throat, the liquid was a wave of coolness, but immediately afterward the ball of fire in his body seemed to grow hotter.

  Lan Rong looked helplessly at the duo. In the past, it had only been Lan Tian Long that would drink like this, and he had cleaned up the messes countless times. Today, it was two drunkards. The two were drinking so recklessly like this and he could only shake his head.

  Shi Yue Yi's Granny Meng Ghost Wine was famous as one of the strongest spirits in the mo world. Looking at the surroundings, everyone only sipped it. Only the two dumbasses in front of him were drinking so violently. Lan Rong knew what his brother was like. But he had not expected that Xiao Mo Ge, who did not look very ferocious, to be so vicious when he drank.

  As expected, one could not judge a book by its cover! Lan Rong shook his head.

  "Brother Tian Long, after so many years you are still like this?"

  A clear voice came.

  Lan Rong's face instantly cooled. Without needing to look, he knew who it was. He couldn't help but smile coldly, "Compared to Brother Shen, my brother has enough to be proud of. I heard that last night, under the eyes of everyone, Brother Shen was tricked by a very ugly and very gentle brother? Princess Xia probably saw it? I'm very curious. What did Princess Xia think about it all?"

  Lan Rong's retaliation directly hit Shen Yu's weak point. What had occurred last night was a great humiliation for Shen Yu. Everyone had watched him, and he had allowed the other to escape. This was like using his face to sweep the floor.

  Lan Rong did not hesitate in poking at his wound. A hint of murderousness flashed through Shen Yu's eyes.

  Shen Yu smiled coldly. "Little Brother Lan Rong's tongue is still as fast and sharp as in the past. But are Brother Lan's moves half as quick?"

  Shen Yu suddenly increased his volume. "It is such a good occasion today, how can there be no battle to arouse the spirits? What do you think, Little Brother Lan Rong, should we go up on stage and have a round?"

  The noisy hall instantly quieted. Everyone looked over, many of the people had interested expressions on their faces. The Shen Family had always been at odds with the Lan Family. How could Shen Yu miss a chance to damage the other's reputation?

  Lan Rong's expression changed slightly. If he showed weakness in public, his and the Lan Family's reputation would be damaged. But Lan Rong knew his own abilities. His strength was not bad, but compared to Shen Yu, he was much weaker. Even Lan Tian Long was slightly weaker than Shen Yu.

  But at this time, he could not retreat … …

  Just as he was going to reply, an indistinct voice came from beside him, "Hey, you are that 'very ugly and very gentle'?"

  It was Zuo Mo that spoke, he swayed as he stood up. His mind was a complete mess at this point but he felt that Shen Yu seemed slightly familiar, yet being drunk he did not know why he felt displeasure when he saw this person. Just now, he felt that the phrase "very ugly and very gentle" sounded familiar. Dizzy from the drinks, Zuo Mo pushed the label onto someone else. He completely forgot the connection he had to the matter.

  The hall that had become completely silent because Shen Yu had challenged Lan Rong, now roared with laughter.

  The ones seated where either noble or wealthy and all had methods of gathering intelligence. The phrase "very ugly and very gentle" from last night had spread through all of Great Peace City. So when they heard Zuo Mo ask Shen Yu this, they laughed without exception.

  Shen Yu's expression became the color of a beet. Zuo Mo was exposing his scars in public.

  The young masters urged on and whistled. They were happy to see anything that made Shen Yu look bad. Shouts came from the crowd, "Wow, so ugly, so gentle!" "So ugly! So gentle!"

  When had Shen Yu been embarrassed like this. His face turned from red to back, viciousness appearing in his brows. Light flashed through his eyes and his tone was icy.

  "Sir is?"

  Still in a daze, when Zuo Mo heard that the other did not recognize him, he instantly became discontent as he said loudly, "You don't even know me? You still want to live in Great Peace City?" He pulled over Lan Rong and then muttered. "Didn't you say that the drinking party this time is supposed to be very high-end? How can a person like him come in?"

  Roars of laughter rose up again. Zuo Mo seemed extremely charming at this time. Many beautiful matrons covered their mouths and laughed. The daring ones coquetti
shly oogled Zuo Mo's body. The people of Great Peace City recognized Zuo Mo because Shifting Stars Sand was too shocking of an event.

  Seeing Shen Yu's almost twisted face, Lan Rong had never found a person so charming before. He felt very good and so happy he almost shouted.

  Brother, drink a bit more … …

  He wanted to shove another jar of wine in Zuo Mo's hand.

  At this time, Shen Yu actually calmed down. He knew that he had been embarrassed greatly today but … …

  As long as these idiotic people saw his strength, they would naturally close their mouths and have fearful gazes again! What was something that could cause people to submit other than power?

  All of the mockery, in front of power, was so insignificant. With a light blow, it would disappear like bubbles.

  A smile came back onto his face. "This one is ignorant and really does not know. Please teach me."

  The smile on Lan Rong's face disappeared. He understood Shen Yu very well. Every time Shen Yu had this expression, it meant that he really felt murderousness. He would use any trick to kill the other!

  Xiao Mo Ge … …

  He turned and looked worriedly at Xiao Mo Ge.

  Zuo Mo's brow rose as he said humorously, "Teach?" He reached out his right hand with the palm up and open.

  Lan Rong's expression was puzzled. What did this hand gesture mean?

  Shen Yu also did not understand. He was unaffected and said, "This is?"

  "You aren't just ugly, you are also stupid." The drunkenness rising, Zuo Mo said impatiently, "Do you understand the rules of the word? If you ask for a lesson, don't you need to pay?"

  The hall was completely silent. Everyone present, including Lan Rong, was gaping. They were so shocked by Zuo Mo's unique move they were speechless.

  "Fifty mo bei, thank you."

  Shen Yu gaped with wide eyes in dumbstruckness. When he reacted, his face became flushed red again. Searching for a few moments, he could not produce anything. Shen Yu had such high status, when had he ever needed to personally bring mo bei along to attend a banquet?
