World of Cultivation - Chapter 687

Chapter 687
Chapter Six Hundred and Eighty Seven – The Hero and the Beauty

After the string of events, the Mo Shen Temple quieted down but the effects of its appearance on the world had not stopped at all . The present state of affairs became even more unpredictable . Even those that studied the situation did not dare to guarantee they could grasp the direction matters would develop .

However, this did not have too much to do with Zuo Mo .

He was heading towards Nether Spring Jie . Since he already learned that A Gui’s soul was being restrained by the Undying Shen Punishment, Zuo Mo still hoped that the Reverse Shadow Spirit Silkgrass would provide some him some clues .

However, this time, Zuo Mo planned for Gongsun Cha and Bie Han to return to Cloud Sea Jie .

In the past, Zuo Mo’s individual strength was not enough so he had to get the aid of the battalions . But now his shen power had developed, he also had A Gui and Ceng Lian’er who were also strong . Even if they were facing marshals, they had the ability to fight and it was not a problem to flee .

Also, the collapse of Xuan Kong Temple and the appearance of the Mo Shen Temple caused Zuo Mo to have a feeling they were at a turning point of the era .

This was a chance for Cloud Sea Jie .

Xuan Kong Temple, one of the four greats, had been defeated at the front lines and lost its experts . Its decline could not be stopped . However, its enormous body was the richest banquet and caused countless factions to drool .

For a very long time, the xiuzhe world would be in a turbulent state . The old equilibrium had been broken, and a new equilibrium will only start forming from fighting and rivers of blood . Zuo Mo hoped that Cloud Sea Jie would be able to get a share of this great banquet .

The present Cloud Sea Jie possessed two powerful battalions and the [Pu Wei Library] . What it lacked was resources .

This was not apparent because Cloud Sea Jie was always on the defensive and it was hidden . But there would be a day that Cloud Sea Jie would come to prominence and the enemies they would face then would be titans like Kun Lun . The resources the two sides would be able to move would not be on the same level .

Their enmity with Kun Lun could not be resolved .

Other than this, Cloud Sea Jie needed to establish deeper foundations .

This meant that Cloud Sea Jie needed to expand its territory . Only by expansion could it possess more resources and establish itself .

In Zuo Mo’s view, this was the best opportunity for an expansion .

Once the new equilibrium was formed, expansion would antagonize all of the surrounding factions . The best way was to take advantage of the chaos . If they missed such a great opportunity, it would never come again . With a terrifying enemy like Kun Lun, if they did not strengthen themselves early, then they might not even qualify for a final battle .

In Zuo Mo’s view, resolving the Undying Shen power for A Gui, and solving the riddle of his origins were his personal matters .

As the leader of Cloud Sea Jie, he could not allow his personal matters to affect the future of Cloud Sea Jie and lose the best chance to develop . The present him had enough strength to reach Nether Springs Jie .

So he ordered Gongsun Cha and Bie Han to return to Cloud Sea Jie .

Gongsun Cha and Bie Han had strongly opposed this but Zuo Mo did not waver at all . Out of helplessness, Gongsun Cha and Bie Han could only lead their battalions back to Cloud Sea Jie and prepare for the expansion .

However, Gongsun Cha told Zuo Mo before he returned that Wei Sheng had entered the mo territories with only his sword in order to help Zuo Mo . He was going to use battle to refine his sword essence . Before this moment, Gongsun Cha and the others had concealed this matter from Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo was dumbstruck upon hearing this .

His chest was filled with warmth, but more was the worry for Eldest Shixiong . The danger of a sword xiu moving in the mo territories alone was scalp-numbing to think about .

Zuo Mo immediately listened for word about a sword xiu that was in the mo territories .

He hadn’t expected that he would obtain the information without any effort . Wei Sheng’s name had been spread far and wide . There were details about each of his fights . Zuo Mo was overjoyed . He hadn’t thought that Eldest Shixiong would have made such a great reputation for himself in the mo territories . He wasn’t just undefeated, he had won the respect of the mo . When he had been searching for news, he found that all the mo spoke with reverence and respect when they talked about Wei Sheng . The declarations the major personages gave also showed this .

Zuo Mo immediately stopped worrying .

He had absolute confidence in Wei Sheng . Unless a marshal came, no one would be able to defeat Eldest Shixiong in a fight unless they did something underhanded .

But then the report of Eldest Shixiong killing a Kun Lun assassin caused murderousness to boil inside Zuo Mo’s chest .

Kun Lun!

Zuo Mo quickly calmed down . Xuan Kong Temple was about to crumble . Kun Lun would not let such a chance past . At this time, Kun Lun definitely would not focus their attention on Eldest Shixiong .

Thinking about this, Zuo Mo took out a snowy piece of paper . This was fifth-grade natural snow paper . It was one of the top types of paper . Zuo Mo carefully drew out seal formations on this paper . The seal formation that he was drawing was completely different and more complex than the normal seal formations on messenger paper cranes . A while later, Zuo Mo put down the brush . His fingers moved and spells shot into the paper crane .

Only now did Zuo Mo show a satisfied expression . He blew at the paper crane . The paper crane seemed to be folded by an invisible hand and took form .

Once the paper crane formed, it disappeared .

It was as though a rock lifted off Zuo Mo’s chest . Zuo Mo naturally had an imprint from Eldest Shixiong . However, there was such a great distance that normal paper cranes could not reach him . Therefore, he forged this sixth-grade paper crane . The other reason was that the contents of the paper crane were extremely important . Zuo Mo had written down the shen methodology that he had been perfecting recently into the paper crane .

The shen power system was about to replace the three powers and become the newest and highest power system .

With Shixiong’s personality, he would not make a shen temple . Therefore, he could only walk the same path as Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo felt some anticipation about what Eldest Shixiong, that focused on the sword, would become when he cultivated shen power .

However, Zuo Mo had warned Eldest Shixiong not to expose the fact that he was cultivating shen power . The appearance of the Mo Shen Temple had made shen power the most attractive thing at the moment . If people knew that Eldest Shixiong had a shen methodology, those marshals would not continue to sit still .

When the paper carne disappeared, the last thread of worry in Zuo Mo’s mind disappeared with it .

He, with A Gui and Ceng Lian’er, changed their appearances . They departed for Nether Springs Jie .

Ji Li Yu’s expression was dejected . Her thoughts wandered as she looked at the sky .

Qing Hua Xue was sitting thoughtfully in the corner . She knew of Ji Li Yu’s unwillingness . This was not hard to understand . Ji Li Yu had become famous very early on, and the Ji Family was a powerful family . In these years, she had become the fantasy lover for countless youths . While Ming Yue Ye’s order could not be disobeyed, she still was unwilling .

However, Ji Li Yu cultivated the [Charm Clothing] and was the most suitable person .

The importance that Ming Yue Ye placed on this matter far surpassed other people’s expectations . Other than Ji Li Yu, there were more than thirty people that had come along . These beauties were of different kinds, seductive, dignified, elegant, friendly, it was enough to dazzle the eyes .

The Blue Flower Family had also been selected .

Qinghua Xue was from a branch family of the Blue Flower Family and had an outstanding appearance . She was extremely suitable . Her elder brother had opposed it strongly but she had agreed because she heard the target of this mission was Xiao Mo Ge .

These three words seemed to have an unusual attraction towards her and would always unconsciously attract her mind .

Of the group, Ji Li Yu was undoubtedly the brightest pearl . The other beauties lost color under her light . Qinghua Xue calmly stayed in the corner . She did not attract attention and secretly observed this group .

The creator of this plan was Ming Yue Ye, but without the support of the council of elders, the Ji Family would not have made such a great sacrifice as to send Ji Li Yu .

Qinghua Xue was intelligent and had great perception . She felt that the goal of this mission was not as simple as the rumors said .

The leader of the guards for this group was Feng Xin Zi . This man gave her great pressure . She needed to be very careful in order for him not to discover her actual strength . The other experts were only just slightly weaker than Feng Xin Zi .

What surprised Qinghua Xue was that the group did not disguise their journey . They made a fuss along the way . Ji Li Yu’s charisma worked on both yao and mo . Her natural seductiveness caused the [Charm Clothing] to be used to its limits . Seductiveness formed as she moved .

Ji Li Yu’s talent in music was extremely high and she immediately won over the hearts of countless mo .

There was great mixing between yao and mo . Ji Li Yu was one of the most famous beauties among the yao and her popularity in the mo territories was not low . When she appeared in the vision of the people, they found that she was even more beautiful than the rumors . Countless mo was enchanted by her . They accompanied and protected the group . Even the three princesses’ limelight could not compare .

Ji Li Yu unintentionally stated the goal of their mission in public . It was Xiao Mo Ge who was extremely well-known at this time . She seemed to be admiring and loving in her tone .

Xiao Mo Ge’s prison-breaking battle and his interactions with Ji Li Yu were quickly dug up . People found to their surprise that Xiao Mo Ge and Ji Li Yu had entanglements before .

Many people realized . So this was how it was!

In the past, with that astounding battle, Xiao Mo Ge had completely won over Miss Ji li Yu’s proud heart . In these years, Miss Ji Li Yu had thought of him day and night, unable to sleep, and tortured by love . She finally gathered her courage and came to the mo territories to search for Xiao Mo Ge … …

Rumors like this quickly spread through the mo territories and sounded extremely convincing .

The people who spread this had expressions of certainty and those that listened were interested .

Xiao Mo Ge was, expected, a good male mo!

Only a peerless beauty like Ji Li Yu could pair with such a heroic youth like Xiao Mo Ge .

The rumors spread wider and wider and convinced many people . Busybodies even started to search for Xiao Mo Ge’s tracks .

Naturally, no one found Zuo Mo that had changed his appearance .

But when he heard the rumors, he didn’t know to laugh or cry . He almost didn’t remember the name Ji Li Yu . When he finally thought of it, he shook his head .

He didn’t have any good impressions of that woman .

He quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind . Other than cultivating, what they did everyday was travel .

He only had one goal, Nether Springs Jie!

Translator Ramblings: As per your editor, Ji Li Yu is One Mole .

Also, in terms of shen power and how fast it appeared, they popped up before in the story . For example, that jade pendant Wei Sheng had and that transportation formation that moved him into the Sealed Extinction Battlefield, those were all ancient artifacts related to shen power . Wu Kong Sword Sect’s sword scripture and sword essence most likely originated from the presence of shen power . Shi Zi Ming also figured out a part or all of shen power a few hundred years ago but he couldn’t cultivate it himself .
