Chapter 646: Ancient Poison Curse
“Junior Ye Mo, now that you’ve become a Saint, you don’t have to care about the affairs of the Asura Dao Palace anymore,” Qiao Yidan said with a light smile.
“Oh? Why is that?” Ye Mo asked. “I’m from the Asura Dao Palace. If something happens to it, of course, I’ll lend a hand.”
“There’s a rule in the Desolate Mountain which doesn’t allow Saints to involve themselves in the Six Dao Palaces’ affairs,” Qiao Yidan explained. “What is of the utmost importance now is to reach the Profound World Realm. You can’t keep relying on seals.”
“I see.” Ye Mo was surprised to hear that. It appeared that he had wronged the senior before him. He asked, “Senior Qiao, then, what do the Saints do in the Desolate Mountain?”
“Besides training every day, there will be weekly lectures by Elder Tao Tie about the Profound World Realm,” Qiao Yidan said. “Every month, you will be able to collect relevant training resources. We can also accept missions to gain training resources. The higher your strength level, the greater training resources you have, and the faster your growth will be.”
“Many thanks, Senior Qiao. These are the four seals that I used at the tournament.” Ye Mo took out four seals from his Xu Mi Ring. The surrounding Saints looked on with envy.
“Dear Seniors, I no longer need these seals,” Ye Mo said. “But, if you would like to purchase them, all I need is four heartstones of wood, water, fire and earth elements respectively and a thousand Transcendence Pills. If any of you want them, you can make a reservation at my residence.”
Ye Mo smiled, not bothered about whether they would actually come and purchase the seals from him. He didn’t need the money anyway. But if they were to come, Ye Mo would be able to do some business and establish networking relations with them.
The promotion ceremony was about to end. After that, the Door of Desolation would notify all authorities about Ye Mo becoming a Saint, a piece of news that will send the whole Tianwu Kingdom into a frenzy.
As a Saint, each of them had their own training residence in the Desolate Mountain. Ye Mo walked to his residence as Ling’er jumped out from the Xu Mi World.
Just as they were prepared to start chatting, they felt a wave of energy outside. Ye Mo rubbed Ling’er’s head and she automatically went back into the Xu Mi World.
“Master?” Ye Mo walked out of his residence. Seeing who it was, his eyes brightened.
“Student. I’m here.” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber smiled. “Are you going to let me in to take a seat?”
“Master, please!” Ye Mo hurriedly led his master into his residence. “Respects to the master!” Ye Mo held his hands together.
“Hmm!” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber nodded her head and, in a flash, she was seated in one of the chairs. She said, “Student, I know all about your past. I didn’t expect you to be able to turn danger into opportunity. I’m truly surprised. The Sky Blood Spear on your back should be shattered, right?”
“Yes, the Sky Blood Spear is a middle-tier treasure weapon,” Ye Mo spoke truthfully.
“You’ve done extremely well by defeating Chu Tian and using your wits to earn your spot in the Saint Elect Tournament and successfully becoming a Saint,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber commended Ye Mo. “On your training journey, there will be plenty of talented people. Even I have been sabotaged by others before. You have to make sure you use your brain at all times. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you die.
“Ye Mo, your training level is still only in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm and your actual strength level is at the Ninth Tier,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “Against these Saints, you won’t have a chance. I have two missions for you. Complete them, and I’ll give you a significant reward which will help elevate your training. It’s likely that, before long, the Young Master will return from his unique space. Based on his personality, it’s unlikely that he’ll let you off. While I can temporarily ensure your safety, your own training is still of the utmost importance.
“How strong is the Young Master exactly?” Ye Mo asked curiously.
“Student, let me put it this way,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “If he manages to advance, if I didn’t have the Blood Energy Devil Blade, I wouldn’t be able to match up to him. I’ve already stagnated in the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm. It’s hard for me to advance any further. But the Young Master is young, and his talent is off the charts. Once he reaches the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, not many people will be able to defeat him. When that happens, maybe he’ll start to reveal his ambition of conquering the whole of the Zone of Desolation.”
“Does the City Master not care?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.
“While the City Master is also in the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, her strength is far below mine. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to handle him by the time he returns,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said calmly.
Hearing that, Ye Mo felt a huge amount of pressure.
“There’ve been some big movements in the First Heaven Society recently,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber continued. “They’re currently searching the cities for a woman with the Poison Curse Body in order to collect the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies. The Young Master has a huge Ancient Poison Curse Power inside his body that is far stronger than the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies. Since his strength level isn’t up to par yet, that Poison Curse Power is currently sealed away. If he advances to the Profound Heaven Realm, he’ll be able to unlock the seals and use the other Four Main Poison Curse Bodies to enhance his training. He’ll be able to completely control the Poison Curse Power and further advance his training.”
“The Four Main Poison Curse Bodies?”
“That’s right. I mention this because I have a mission for you. In the future, for every mission you complete, I’ll teach you a new skill.”
There was no meaning if she just taught him the techniques. Ye Mo’s strength had to rise through tough training.
“Master, what is my first mission then?” Ye Mo asked curiously. It went without saying that the mission would be related to the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies, or something that was related to Xiao Yue.
“The First Heaven Society has already captured the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse Body from the Po Luo Kingdom, and it is being sent to the Inner Peak,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said calmly. “In three days, their team will pass by the East Water Valley. That location is extremely secluded. Your mission is to steal the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse Body. If you can’t do that, then just kill it.”
“Kill it?” Ye Mo frowned.
“Yes. This time, the First Heaven Society is going to mobilize several elite fighters who are all either in the Eighth or Ninth Realm of the Transcendence Realm,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “And the leader of the team is a fighter in the Half Profound Realm. This mission is extremely risky – I don’t think you’ll be able to take the body away safely. But you should know that if the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse Body is taken to the Inner Peak, it will complete the Young Master’s collection of the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies.”
This lineup was extremely strong, even including a fighter in the Half Profound Realm. This mission would definitely be a challenge for Ye Mo.
“Leave it to me, Master. I’ll complete the mission.” Ye Mo nodded.
“Alright. Once you complete your mission, I’ll reward you!”
After that, the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber instantly disappeared.
Regarding the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s ability to moved without being detected, Ye Mo was extremely in awe of her. How strong were fighters in the Profound Heaven Realm exactly?
“Ye Mo, looks like this time, if you really want to complete the mission, if you cannot take the body, you’ll have to kill it,” Ling’er and Hong Lin said in unison.
“Why?”
“Because the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies are all females. Allowing the four bodies to help the Young Master with his training and completely control the Poison Curse Power was basically fighting poison with poison. The four of them will have to connect with the Young Master at the same time.”
