Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Seven – Screw Live and Die Together
Zuo Mo did not know about what was happening on Turtle Island .
He forgot himself in his cultivation . In the past, Zuo Mo had not chased after power . He did not have great ambitions, it was enough to have enough power to live well . But right now, he had an almost absurd desire for power . It was clear that both the matter of healing A Gui or investigating his birth, success would be based on one foundation, strength, great strength!
Everyday, he was immersed in cultivation as though he did not know exhaustion . He was waiting for Shu Long and the others to arrive . If his investigation was right, Nether Spring Jie wasn’t a place that he could go to alone .
Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus .
The physique ranked third in the general level and as expected, it had its unique traits . Wei was familiar with all kinds of mo physiques and this allowed Zuo Mo’s cultivation to be extremely focused . In a few short days, Zuo Mo’s strength had shot forward and he finally had a comprehensive understanding of the Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus .
The name Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus, alluded to the ten suns on different areas of his body . They looked more like carefully carved tattoos, and not mo matrixes .
The most eye-catching was the sun matrix at the center of Zuo Mo’s forehead . The perfect circle was made of complex and beautiful patterns . There was a jagged zig-zagging pattern on the circumference of each deep dark gold sun, representing rays of light .
Zuo Mo’s face was not handsome, but when the sun script symbol appeared there, it added a hint of mysteriousness and nobility .
Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus, each sun represented a source of power . He needed to accumulate power and activate each sun . Each sun contained a transformation . Ten suns, meant ten transformations .
According to Wei, mo that cultivated Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus were rare, and rarer were those that comprehended all ten transformations .
Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus, each transformation was extremely powerful and domineering . What was even more frightening was that the power of Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus would be used with finesse and technique, and was not just the application of brute force .
But what was most famous about the Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus was not the ten transformations, but that it had the title of best domain in general level, [Ten Crow Celestial Domain]!
Hearing this, Zuo Mo hungered for it . It was a pity that Wei didn’t know how to comprehend [Ten Crow Celestial Domain] .
[Domain] was a type of power that was accessible to only those yuanying xiuzhe, general mo, and Rahula yao . Ding Zhen’s [Lantern Fire Buddhist Domain] was an example, and Wei Sheng had been able to grasp the beginnings of [Domain] while he was in jindan . Wei Sheng’s talents were astounding .
Having seen Ding Zhen’s [Lantern Fire Buddhist Domain], Zuo Mo yearned for [Domain] .
However, Wei did not speak more about how to comprehend [Domain] . That was something far beyond where Zuo Mo was .
Even though Zuo Mo had obtained Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus due to having a precious treasure in his body, he still lacked comprehension . With his body now in a balanced state, having had a breakthrough in his mo physique, ling power, and consciousness . It was the two powers to first have breakthroughs that were now holding him back . Zuo Mo worked on processing the shen power in his right hand, and then turned it into ling power and spiritual consciousness . He used this method to also strengthen his Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus .
Zuo Mo had originally assumed that this stabilization would take a long time . Unexpectedly, he only needed ten days to raise his ling power to yuanying levels, and his consciousness to yao mansion .
One factor was the abundance of shen power . The increase in the power whirlpool in Zuo Mo’s right hand was still accelerating, and the amount of shen power he draw everyday increased . While overjoyed, Zuo Mo was also slightly worried . Based on this speed, the shen power being produced every day would soon surpass the amount he could process .
The other factor was that while his Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus was not very stable, it was at the general level, and higher than both jindan and yin spirit . But Zuo Mo had forcefully crossed the boundary between levels by relying on treasures and his understanding of the power was completely different than others at the level .
All paths of power led to the same destination . Even though the mo physique was different compared to ling power and spirit consciousness, there were many places Zuo Mo could study and copy .
Pu Yao and Wei were not shocked by Zuo Mo entering yuanying . In their eyes, this was natural . However, Pu Yao was slightly excited now that Zuo Mo’s consciousness formed the yao mansion .
Yao that formed their yao mansion were called Rahula yao and could be counted in the ranks of experts in the yao world .
Zuo Mo’s talent in yao arts was actually very good, but compared to the even more amazing mo physique, it was slightly lacking . Leaving Pu Yao to feel that although Zuo Mo was his student, Wei had taken the glory . Now that Zuo Mo had formed his yao mansion, it meant that he could pass more yao arts to Zuo Mo .
Also, Archaic Wasteland Sacrificial Art was more suited to Rahula yao!
However, Pu Yao did not say this . He was busy doing some other things .

Some strange messages appeared in the corners of Ten Finger Prison .
The messages were worded strangely and the sentences incomprehensible . They were also posted in remote places that were not attention-catching . But if those with intentions searched, they would find to their shock that there were similar messages at every level of Ten Finger Prison .
“Will this work?” Wei asked Pu Yao .
“Don’t know . ” Pu Yao’s bloody pupil was deep . “It has been too long . I don’t know if they still remember, let’s just try . ”
“I don’t know how many of Master’s supporters still remain,” Wei said calmly, “I have sent out the blood summons . ”
Pu Yao’s eyes flashed with a reckless light, a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth . “No matter how powerful time is, it will leave some remnants behind . ”
“You plan on having A Zuo inherit all of this?” Wei looked at Pu Yao .
Pu Yao shook his head . “He may not be willing to inherit . ”
“Our thoughts are the same . ” Wei nodded .
“However, he needs power . ” Pu Yao’s robes moved despite the lack of wind, his voice became deep . “He doesn’t understand himself, and we cannot truly understand him . His enemies most likely are far more powerful than even he imagines, he only has one path . ”
Wei suddenly gave a small smile . “Very similar to how we were . ”
Pu Yao’s memories were stirred by this, a reminiscing expression in his bloody pupil . He quickly calmed down . “Also, it will not be unprofitable for them to follow him . Families that stood guard for thousands of years and did not give up should return to glory!”
Wei sighed . “I do not know how many still remain . ”
Pu Yao also became silent . He also did not know .
———
Zuo Mo suddenly stopped his cultivation . He detected someone was approaching . His body turned towards the people approaching and stood between them and A Gui, shielding A Gui behind him .
Two figures appeared like ghosts nearby .
“It’s you!” Zuo Mo’s gaze focused and he was shocked inside .
In the night, Ceng Lian’er’s exquisite and beautiful features looked more mysterious . Her black opal like eyes held an indescribable light . There was also a woman standing next to her . Looking at her attire, it should be Ceng Lian’er’s maid .
She stopped at a distance of five zhang from Zuo Mo .
“You are going to Nether Spring Jie?” the serene voice drifted over with the wind .
Zuo Mo who had not lowered his guard suddenly focused his gaze . He asked in a deep voice, “How do you know?”
“This is Shattered Stone Jie . ” Ceng Lian’er did not pay attention to Zuo Mo’s wariness .
Zuo Mo understood . Most likely, his search for Reverse Shadow Spirit Silkgrass had caught Ceng Yi’s attention . This outrageously beautiful woman in front of him gave him a great sense of danger . Even though a part of his breakthrough was owed to this person, and the other’s silver shen power had been one of the main causes of his breakthrough .
But he could not get the measure of this woman’s power or intentions .
“I cultivate moon shen power . ” Ceng Lian’er’s seductive face became slightly dazed . She raised her face, and the moon above her head brightened slightly . A ray of moonlight fell on her face, illuminating her delicate features .
The long eyelashes, the warm lips, the flawless face, under the illumination of the moon, it seemed to shake the soul .
“Moon shen power?” Zuo Mo finally understood why the other’s shen power would have power resonance with his shen power .
“I will go with you to Nether Spring Jie,” Ceng Lian’er said serenely .
“You’ll go with me to Nether Spring Jie?” Zuo Mo heard this and stopped for a long time before he reacted . He felt it was humorous . “Haha, what are you saying? You are going with me to Nether Spring JIe? Haha . ”
“Yes,” Ceng Lian’er looked at Zuo Mo with her calm eyes .
Zuo Mo heard the determination in the other’s voice and his humor receded . He frowned . “This joke isn’t funny, I’m not familiar with you . ”
Ceng Lian’er’s voice was extremely pleasing to hear . “Because you cultivate sun shen power, and I cultivate moon shen power . ”
“Don’t understand . ” Zuo Mo shook his head .
“If we cultivate together, our shen power will grow even more quickly,” Ceng Lian’er explained .
Zuo Mo finally understood . “You mean power resonance?”
“It is also called paired cultivation,” Ceng Lian’er said lightly, “it is very beneficial to you . ”
Zuo Mo was not persuaded . “I do not need it . ”
“Because of your right hand?” A hint of mirth rose in Ceng Lian’er’s pupils .
However, Zuo Mo did not find it funny . His heart shook . The other’s familiarity with his secrets surpassed his expectations… to even know about the whirlpool of shen power in his hand .
This woman … …
“I do not have any malicious intentions . The whirlpool in your right hand is growing, and you can only absorb a small amount . When it reaches a certain level, you will lose control of it . ”
She stared at Zuo Mo and said, “Paired cultivation can solve this problem . ”
Zuo Mo spread his hands . “Why should I believe you?”
“Because when your shen power awakened me, it left an imprint on my body . If you die, I cannot live,” Ceng Lian’er said as though it was nothing . “If I die, your shen power will also crumble . ”
“Ha! You are a good liar!” Zuo Mo laughed coldly .
“The paired cultivation… when it began it decided our fate . If I channel shen power, you will be able to feel it . ” As she spoke, the moonlight around Ceng Lian’er brightened .
Zuo Mo’s expression changed drastically . His shen power was moving against his will!
“This is the power resonance you speak of . If you channel shen power, my shen power would also resonate . ” Ceng Lian’ers words burrowed into Zuo Mo’s ear .
Damn it!
“I think that it is much safer to follow you, so that I do not die mysteriously one day without knowing the cause . ”
Ceng Lian’er didn’t look at Zuo Mo as she slowly walked to his side . She sat down, and her maid knelt down next to her . In a blink, a little wooden table appeared, an exquisite tea set, a small stove, and she started to boil tea .
Sea of consciousness .
Zuo Mo urgently asked Pu Yao and Wei, “This woman is truthful?”
The one that explained was Wei . “It is true, the paired cultivators in the ancient era usually lived and died together!”
“Screw live and die together!” Zuo Mo swore with a terrible expression .
“Actually, this isn’t a bad thing … …” Before Wei finished, Zuo Mo angrily turned and left the sea of consciousness .
“Moon shen power?” Pu Yao was thoughtful .
Translator Ramblings: I really want a prequel with Pu Yao and Wei . They have such interesting lives . Is Pu Yao from one of the major clans, which I don’t think he is, or was he a “commoner” that was seriously talented and made his own way up to become a sky yao and essentially the battle general of the yaomo? What was Wei’s clan like? How many masters did he go through with the gravestone?
Also, the chapter title is a nice pun . It can be interpreted two ways . One is ‘screw “live and die together” and the other would be “screw, live and die together . ”
