Chapter 653: Two Million Rays of Caged Dragon Power
When Ye Mo awoke, he found himself in a familiar room – the room in the wine tower at the Desolation City.
He sat up, feeling that his body had recovered its energy. In particular, the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse inside his body had completely disappeared, leaving all of his internal organs undamaged.
What was going on?
While his injuries had yet to heal, the Profound Silkworm Curse Poison had been completely removed.
“Yue Yue?” Ye Mo looked around. Failing to see anyone, he asked Ling’er, “Did Yue Yue save me?”
“Yes. You’ve been unconscious for three days.”
Ling’er jumped out from the Xu Mi Ring. Standing before Ye Mo, her cheeks were slightly reddened.
“Where did Yue Yue go?” Ye Mo asked. “How was my Profound Silkworm Poison Curse removed?”
“She left after removing the poison curse,” Ling’er said. “As for how she did it, I suggest you ask her yourself.”
Seeing that Ling’er was refusing to tell him, Ye Mo could guess that Yue Yue had paid a huge price in order to remove the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse for him. That just made him want to see her more.
“Xiao Can, that woman… If I ever see her again, I’ll kill her,” Ye Mo said viciously. This was the first time that a woman had taken advantage of him.
After meditating for an hour and letting his body fully recover, Ye Mo returned to the Desolate Mountain.
That night:
A dark shadow flashed by like a spirit.
Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber appeared outside Ye Mo’s residence. The silhouette flashed again and disappeared from where it was standing.
“Master, you’re here?” Ye Mo awoke from his meditation state and looked at the shadow before him.
“While there was an accident during this mission, you’re not to blame,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said gently. She seemed to already know what had happened.
“I almost died.” Ye Mo shook his head. “That Profound Silkworm Poison Curse almost killed me.”
“Hmph!” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber grunted and said, “Just a few days ago I praised you for having a sharp mind. Who would’ve thought that you’d end up falling into the hands of a woman?”
“Master, it won’t happen again,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“That Sky Phoenix Poison Curse lady is pretty loyal to you, taking such a huge risk to save you,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said with a calm tone.
“Is that so?” Ye Mo was surprised.
“Don’t worry, she was very discrete. Almost undetectable,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “Now, the most important thing is for you to increase your strength. At the moment, your realm level is still too weak.”
She held out three blood-colored fruits in her hand, each glowing red.
“Is that the Bodhi Fruit?” Hong Ling, Ling’er and Ye Mo all asked in unison.
Ye Mo looked at the three Bodhi Fruits hungrily.
The three Bodhi Treasures were the Bodhi Fruit, the Bodhi Tree and the realization of the Will of the Bodhi Tree.
The Bodhi Fruit were top-tier Saint Fruits with that could increase one’s training.
“Eating one Bodhi Fruit will increase one’s strength incredibly,” Ye Mo said. “Now, there’s three of them.”
“Student, I attained these three Bodhi Fruits when I was in the Ancient Cave Residence,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “Now that I’ve no use for them, you eat them and see what kind of breakthrough you’re able to achieve.”
“Alright. I’ll give them a try and see their effects.” Ye Mo sat down cross-legged in front of Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber.
Since Xiao Can had stolen the Mountain and River Diagram, Ye Mo couldn’t make a breakthrough. So, he wouldn’t cause any big commotions.
Gulp!
He consumed the first fruit and felt a gentle burning sensation flowing through his body.
The energy level of a Bodhi Seed wasn’t on the same level as a normal pill. Back then, Ye Mo was able to forcefully advance to the True Energy Realm using the Bodhi Seed, such was the power of the Bodhi Energy.
With the energy pouring into the Rising Dragon Pillar, wild dragon roars erupted as the Caged Dragon Powers awoke.
100,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
200,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
300,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
Feeling the manic awakening of the Caged Dragon Powers, Ye Mo swallowed the other two Bodhi Fruits as well. A frightening amount of energy poured into his body, and the speed of his energy growth skyrocketed again.
400,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
500,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
600,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
700,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers!
By the time the Rising Dragon Pillars had absorbed all of the energy of the Bodhi Fruits, Ye Mo had awakened 700,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers. Adding on to his initial amount of Caged Dragon Powers, Ye Mo now had 2 million rays of Caged Dragon Powers.
That frightening amount of energy was as wide as the ocean. Channeling all of it onto his body, Ye Mo felt as if he was about to explode. That much energy was too much to handle, and he needed an outlet for it.
Ye Mo rushed out from his residence and let out a loud roar. The whole mountain peak started to rumble.
“This doesn’t make sense. Disciple, I can feel your strength increasing, but why haven’t you advanced to the next tier yet?”
The Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber was confused – advancement and strength increase were two different concepts.
Advancing tiers meant that one’s control of their Transcendence Aura became greater and their Transcendence Golden Body became stronger. But strength increase was just an increase in one’s strength level.
“Master, I can’t advance because the natural elemental cycle of the space of the Zone of Desolation is too weak,” Ye Mo explained. “It can’t be compared to the frequency of my True Energy Cycle. That is why I am unable to make the breakthrough.”
Ye Mo knew that the moment he entered a space with stronger powers, he would immediately attract the Five Rows Tribulation and advance to the Fourth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.
He would awaken another power of the Five Row Dragon Apes.
The Five Rows Battle Gear, Five Rows Door – each was stronger than the last. What was next? Ye Mo was very excited.
While he didn’t advance a tier, with two million Caged Dragon Powers, he could destroy a Ninth Tier Transcendence Fighter – he was completely confident in defeating Li Huo and Nian Bing.
“What did you say?” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaver looked surprised. “The frequency of your True Energy Wave is even faster than the Natural Cycle? That is to say, that your natural surroundings are unable to keep up with you. What a prodigy. I’ve yet to come across anyone like you in all my years in the Zone of Desolation. Even the Young Master can’t compare. You’ll have to be in a stronger plane of space in order to advance… but how did you manage to reach the Third Tier?”
“I advanced inside the Mountain and River Diagram,” Ye Mo said. But, in the Eastern Water Valley, in order to stay alive, I handed the painting over to the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse Body.”
“You did it in the Mountain and River Diagram, I see.” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber shook her head. “If the Young Master gets his hands on the Mountain and River Diagram, things are going to get troublesome.”
Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber continued, “I’ll give you another mission. Go to the Fragrant Pavilion in the Desolation City and kill the First Heaven Society generals Li Huo and Nian Bing. They’re both prodigies. Even though they’re not as strong, they have a lot of potential. If they continue to grow, they will most likely pose a threat to you. Kill them off.”
“Kill the two of them?” Ye Mo was filled with delight. He would do that with or without a reward.
“Don’t be too complacent,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber reminded him. “With your current strength, you are definitely capable of killing them off with a single hit. But you can’t reveal your identity. If you do, I’ll be found out as well.”
“Can’t believe those two like to patronize the brothels, too.” Ye Mo laughed before flying to the Desolate City. “They’re dead for sure!”
