Chapter 681
Chapter Six Hundred and Eighty One – Zuo Mo’s Transformation

Sitting on the rock, Zuo Mo’s was expressionless and his eyes were vacant . He stared off into the distance as A Gui sat silently by his side .

Ceng Lian’er did not know what had happened, but she had once shared those fragmented memories with Zuo Mo, but she could guess after watching Zuo Mo feed A Gui the Nether Decay Reincarnation Lotus .

She did not make a sound .

Zuo Mo had been like this for three days .

Over these three days, he did not move . It was as though he a wooden statue .

———

In his sea of consciousness .

“How can I rescue A Gui?” Zuo Mo looked expressionlessly at Pu Yao and Wei .

“I don’t know . The Undying Shen Punishment was the cruelest punishment in the ancient era . I have not heard of anyone ever breaking the shen punishment . ” Wei sighed . At the side, Pu Yao was silent as well .

Zuo Mo became silent again . However, this time, he did not remain silent for long . He raised his face and a light flickered in his eyes, like a candle in raging winds but refused to succumb .

He murmured hoarsely to himself and the words echoed in his sea of consciousness .

“At its core, the Undying Shen Punishment is a kind of shen power . ”

“Since it is shen power, there definitely is a solution! If I cannot unlock it now, it is because I understand too little about it . My understanding of shen power is too weak . As long as I continue to grow stronger, become strong enough; as long as my understanding of shen power deepens, I can search for clues . I won’t give up; I will never give up; I will definitely find the solution . ”

“Even if no one has broken it before, I will . ”

The hoarse voice was not fierce, not spirited, not angry . Zuo Mo’s tone was indifferent as though he was talking about something unimportant . But within the calm, each word was as stern and determined as it was being engraved into steel .

The flames on Pu Yao’s body suddenly exploded . The eerie flames reflected on his eerie face . His thin blade-like lips curved in an eerie smile . “Such a difficult matter really makes one’s blood boil . Oh, it is great to use this to pay rent . ”

Wei’s expression was solemn but his eyes were as bright as stars . “The truth of the gravestone armor is to protect! Wei cannot stand idly by and watch A Gui’s sacrifice!”

Zuo Mo looked at the duo . A warmth hard to voice flowed inside .

The hundred and thousands of words he felt turned into one word when they reached his mouth .

———

A dot of light appeared in Zuo Mo’s unfocused eyes . His statue-like body suddenly shook . At the side, Ceng Lian’er noticed immediately . The worry in her eyes decreased greatly and she unconsciously showed slight joy .

Having refocused, Zuo Mo noticed the worry and concern in Ceng Lian’er’s eyes . He said, “I’m fine, do not worry . ”

“That’s good . ” Ceng Lian’er sighed in relief .

The intelligent Ceng Lian’er perceptively detected the change in Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo turned his face and looked at A Gui beside him . His eyes became even more determined .

A Gui, I will definitely rescue you!

No matter what!

Over the next few days Ceng Lian’er saw the rapid changes in Zuo Mo’s habits .

Cultivation! Furious cultivation!

Zuo Mo seemed to be possessed as he cultivated fanatically . He wasn’t willing to waste even a speck of time . Ceng Lian’er had never seen someone cultivate like this . Every time she wanted to urge him to rest, she swallowed her words when she met Zuo Mo’s steely gaze .

Every bit of time was so valuable in Zuo Mo’s eyes .

Every bit of waste time meant that A Gui had to endure more of that great torture . Zuo Mo’s heart hurt .

Pu Yao seemed to have become a completely different person . He brought out all the yao arts, spells and mo skills he collected . Wei also brought out all kinds of ancient sacrificial methods .

Most of the shen power inheritances had been lost over time and it was hard to see the connections . However, the three major systems originated from shen power . While each focused on different aspects, they were developed from the same source .

Pu Yao and Wei thought of a method –reconstruction!

Reconstruct shen power from the three powers!

This was a crude and stupid method but it was a very plausible method, especially since Zuo Mo now had a large part of that Great Peace Mo Stele text which was one of the key points .

Zuo Mo’s sun shen power cultivation was not low, but there were many details that were still unclear . This reconstruction process had clarified many of the details .

But Zuo Mo felt that this wasn’t enough .

There were too many parts missing to this ancient power that made it hard to understand . What he studied wasn’t limited to just sun shen power, but included even greenvine shen power . But the writing was from too long ago, and there was a great barrier between the people now and those ancient records .

Zuo Mo was not skilled in the ancient writing .

Fortunately, Wei was from an ancient tribe . Wei had been from final years of that era, as those ancient tribes declined, but he was still of great help to Zuo Mo .

As the three of them worked together, some of the basic patterns of shen power were clarified .

The division of cultivation levels for shen power was not as complex as the three powers and was much simpler .

Celestial, Earth, Morthal, they represented the three levels of shen power . In ancient times, all of the totem warriors were celestial level . They could move mountains, overturn seas, and destroy stars with their movements . For example, the Sun Crystal Seed inside Zuo Mo’s body was something only those heaven level totem warriors could seal .

But as they organized, Zuo Mo and the others also found some interesting things .

According to this division of power, in Wei’s era, those powerful totem warriors were earth level . The degradation of shen power was evident in that era .

The ancient era was undoubtedly the era that shen power was strongest . Wei’s era was at the end of the shen power era . It was the time that shen power was gradually being destroyed and the three powers started to replace shen power as the mainstream .

Why did shen power degrade?

Zuo Mo suddenly thought of that suffocating Sealed Extinction Battlefield . Was it that too many totem warriors had fallen in that great battle leading to the degradation of shen power?

And that mysterious Shi . Only now did Zuo Mo start to understand the great power of the other . He probably had been a totem warrior .

However, Zuo Mo did not plan on wasting time on uncovering history .

His time was so precious . Any drop of time had to be invested in becoming stronger!

Zuo Mo felt he had never had such a clear goal in life!

Every drop of sweat would not fall for nothing .

Zuo Mo could clearly feel the shen power in his body becoming stronger, especially after he had organized the knowledge of the two shen techniques . His improvement with shen power was clear, but it was clear he had just entered the preliminary stages of mortal level .

The long and distant path did not scare Zuo Mo, who now had a clear goal .

Zuo Mo’s rapid improvement of shen power slowed . This was to be expected . He had only cultivated shen power for a short amount of time and he had not accumulated much . After organizing what he knew, he had understood many details and many of the places he had been stuck at had opened . His shen power had increased due to this, but after this burst of improvement the growth of his shen power could only improve through a process of accumulation .

But Zuo Mo was not satisfied .

“Fighting?” Pu Yao’s eyes flashed with surprise . Zuo Mo never feared fighting before, but he was not one that liked fighting . It was rare for him to have a desire to fight .

“En . ” Zuo Mo nodded . His expression was calm . “Fighting can cause my progress to become faster!”

Wei’s brow creased slightly . “It is very dangerous . ”

As they sorted out shen power and understood more, they knew that shen power in mortal level was not of great advantage against the three powers in the later stages . Only when one stepped into earth level could they completely suppress the three powers in the later stages .

In other words, with Zuo Mo’s present shen power skill, his chances of victory against a yuanying was high, but if he encountered a fanxu it would be dangerous .

A Gui’s shen power was slightly stronger than Zuo Mo and Ceng Lian’er was the weakest of the three .

“There will always be danger . ” Zuo Mo’s expression was calm but his expression was determined . “But fighting will allow me to grow more quickly . Also, even though it is difficult for us to comprehend shen power, why don’t we search for comprehension in battle?”

“Search for comprehension in battle?”

Pu Yao and Wei stilled .

“The three powers are different from shen power, but they are all derived from shen power at the core . That means then there must be patterns to the way the power is used . Rather than taking stabs in the dark like we are doing now, it would be better to search through battle . Since it is power, it would be more evident during battle . ”

Zuo Mo said seriously .

Pu Yao and Wei had thoughtful expressions .

Moments later, Wei nodded . “Theoretically it is true, but too dangerous . ”

Pu Yao smiled strangely . “This method is interesting! Are you planning on using Xuan Kong Temple?”

Zuo Mo did not find it strange that Pu Yao could guess his thoughts . Spirit burned in his eyes . “Of those two old thieving baldies, one is dead, the other is injured . Xuan Kong Temple will not give up . I speculate that they will definitely send more people and they aren’t far from here . Bie Han said that Xuan Kong Temple only has two fanxu now . So the people that they have sent this time would be primarily yuanying . We might have a chance . ”

Pu Yao snickered darkly . “They definitely will not expect that you dare to look for a fight . ”

“En, there is also an additional benefit . We can help relieve the pressure on Gongsun Shidi and Bie Han . ”

“That is a good idea . ” Even Wei was persuaded by Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo told his idea to Ceng Lian’er . His original intention was to urge Ceng Lian’er to leave . Escalating this war with more battle was a dangerous course of action . In his view, Ceng Lian’er did not have to accompany them in this .

Ceng Lian’er fluffed her hair . Her serene eyes did not avoid Zuo Mo’s gaze . “I stay with you both . ”

Zuo Mo was shocked . So he had talked so much for nothing .

“What you say is true, it will be dangerous . However, the world knows that I cultivate shen power . If I am alone, I will definitely be captured and forced to give up the shen power inheritance . Father’s power is not enough to protect me,” Ceng Lian’er looked at Zuo Mo calmly and said .

Zuo Mo was stunned .

Ceng Lian’er was right . The fact that she cultivated shen power was no longer a secret . There were countless pairs of eyes watching her . If she left, she most likely would immediately fall into the hands of someone else .

Her only hope of survival was to stay with them to the end .

Only by staying with Zuo Mo could she reduce the number of people scheming for her shen power inheritance .

No matter how dangerous it was, she had no other choice .

There wasn’t any terror in Ceng Lian’er’s eyes . Her eyes were a deep unfathomable black that made it hard for people to guess her thoughts .

“If that’s the case, then let’s fight together!”

Zuo Mo looked at her and said seriously .

A thread of a smile blossomed at the corner of Ceng Lian’er’s mouth . It was like a beautiful flowering blossoming in the darkness .
