Chapter Eight Hundred and Seventy Three – Forming Beads In The Death Eye

The Yin Tomb Five Ghosts were dumbstruck .

While it was not the King’s Horn, it was still stunning . The first king of the mo . Just this name was enough to cause them to wet themselves .

“Is it really true?” Si Du stammered out .

The other four locked closely at Zuo Mo as though there was a flower growing off his face .

“Of course it’s true . ” Zuo Mo smiled . He looked at Mo Ru and held the horn in front of her . “If you regret it, I will pick something else . ”

Mo Ru furiously waved her hand . “This thing is a hot potato, only Grandmaster can possess it!”

The other four nodded . Mo Ru’s words were not flattery . The Yin Tomb Guards were about to start fighting with Eastern Nether Mansion . No matter which side won, none of them would dare to offend Grandmaster . In Nether Realm where forgers were rare and valuable, one’s head would definitely be wrong if they went to offend a grandmaster that could forge shen devices . In their view, the four nether lords would not do something so stupid .

If Grandmaster wanted the horn, the four nether lords would not hesitate even if it was the true King’s Horn, and not just the long horn of the first king .

And this long horn had an astounding history but it seemed as though only Grandmaster would have the ability to forge it into a true [King’s Horn] .

In these days, people believed in the power of battalions and experts . The Yin Tomb Five Ghost would not believe that one horn would be enough to conquer the world .

The Nether King didn’t have the horn and he still united the Nether Realm!

In other words, it still depended on who had the stronger fist . But Mo Ru and the others did not want to be involved with something as troublesome as this . While they listened with great attention, they had no intentions of taking it for themselves .

If this was in the past, they might get a reward if they gave it as tribute to Nether King . But the king had not been seen for a long time . It was unknown whether he was dead or alive . Having it in their possessing would bring a calamity .

Zuo Mo put away the long horn . He had great interest in it . The [King’s Horn] of legend seemed wondrous . This long horn most likely was extraordinary . He was god-level and he lacked treasures he could use . While the talismans and shen devices he forged before were not bad, they were still lacking for him at present .

The shen power of a god-level expert was not something that normal talismans could withstand .

Lin Qian had the Immemorial Shen Sword, Eldest Shixiong had the God-Killing Blood Sword but he did not have an appropriate shen device . While Zuo Mo had pit Eldest Shixiong against Lin Qian in his mind, he did not have any assurances of when Eldest Shixiong would wake up . If Lin Qian came out of seclusion and Eldest Shixiong had not woken up, he was the only one that was a match .

Zuo Mo noted down this matter and his gaze swept across Si Du’s collection .

Si Du had pulled out a few more things after trading for the black sand . Things that this person kept to the end were good things . Zuo Mo’s gaze swept across a stone figure, and his head jumped . This stone was about the size of his fist, and there were countless black and white rings moved around the surface of the stone . These rings were of various sizes that gathered and spread apart .

Yinyang Ring Stone!

Zuo Mo unhesitatingly chose it .

Si Du felt slight pain but he sighed in relief . The Yinyang Ring Stone was unique, but for Si Du that was primarily focused on poisons, it was not as useful as the other items .

Everyone took what they needed .

“How long will Grandmaster take to forge shen equipment?” Si Du couldn’t resist asking .

Zuo Mo thought . “You five are all different, and the time will be different, but it will be no later than a month . ”

Hearing Zuo Mo give the deadline of a month, the five were satisfied . Eastern Nether Mansion would need time to gather the troops to attack the Ten Thousand Tombs of the Underworld . The Yin Tomb Guards were on the defensive and these five did not need to worry about the initial clashes .

“Then we will bid you farewell . ” Si Du bid farewell to Zuo Mo . He desperately needed to find a place to refine the nether sand he just obtained . Recovering from his wounds was the right choice at this time .

The others also bid farewell . With a great battle coming, they needed to prepare many things . They each lead a battalion and they were busy .

Zuo Mo did not keep them . He also had many matters to attend to .

He decided to forge pseudo-shen devices for the five that were like the Angel Device Raiment . With his present cultivation, forging pseudo-shen devices were not difficult for him .

His success rate at the Weapon Layering Craftsmanship was astounding high . This was an advantage of his cultivation .

The three hundred items of shen equipment could not satisfy the Ghost Lord’s need . The problem now was that the material supply could not keep up with Zuo Mo’s forging speed . Almost all the warehouses were furiously transporting materials to the Fire Cemetery .

Zuo Mo planned to go to the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools .

This time, he went alone without notifying anyone else .

The Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools were astounding . Zuo Mo sneaked in and followed the direction from last time and walked towards the death eye .

He noticed the three hundred articles of shen equipment had been placed into the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools to be nourished . Each piece of shen equipment was absorbing death energy . Little whirlpools appeared over the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools . Each shen equipment was being heavily guarded .

Zuo Mo carefully avoided the crowds and moved silently in the grey death energy .

He soon was able to feel clearly that the death energy ahead was much thicker . He became alert . He was about to reach the death eye soon . After moving forward for about fifteen minutes, Zuo Mo felt the surrounding death energy was eight times as dense as before .

The death energy here was astounding thick . Zuo Mo’s heart trembled .

If he was not god-level, a normal expert would see all kinds of illusions in such thick death energy . The death energy would corrode their bodies . No wonder no one dared to come to the death eye . Even Zuo Mo felt that the death energy was bone-chillingly cold .

Zuo Mo’s speed slowed . After moving about ten li further, the surrounding death energy was so thick it was tangible .

With every step, he felt his vision seemed to shake . Countless evil ghosts and thoughts came at him, and illusions sprouted out .

Zuo Mo’s expression became stern . He felt a great pressure .

Woosh!

The sun shen fire erupted out of his body . The evil ghosts immediately wailed when they touched the sun shen fire . However, the sticky death energy seemed to be enraged by the sun shen fire . They roared and roiled as waves of death energy moved towards Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo’s expression changed slightly . What kind of place was the death eye that it would have such a great concentration of death energy?

He had never heard of a place with such a great concentration of death energy .

Feeling the great power coming through the roiling death energy, Zuo Mo shook his head . This place was not one he could come to at present . Unless his body completely recovered, and his shen power was replenished, he would not be able to advance .

It seemed that he could only come back after recovering .

However, Zuo Mo did not plan on leaving empty handed . The thick sticky death energy here was a very good material by themselves .

Zuo Mo’s hands grabbed at the air .

Moments later, more than fifty beads formed from death energy appeared in his hands . The beads were grey . If one looked at the surface, they would be unconsciously sucked in .

These death energy beads were of rare quality .

After forming fifty death energy beads in succession, a hint of exhaustion flashed across Zuo Mo’s face . He was startled . The death energy here was so thick it was incomprehensible! Forming the fifty death energy beads took more effort than forging three hundred articles of shen equipment!

It really was a strange place!

Zuo Mo noted it down and put the death energy beads back in his ring . Then he went back along the way he came . This time, he still gained something . The fifty high quality death energy beads were a considerable profit .

Coming out the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools, Zuo Mo returned to his residence .

He sat for a whole day before recovering . Opening his eyes, he played with the death energy beads in his hands . He remembered the thought he had before and stood up to walk towards the back of the yard .

Arriving in front of the five shen wood coffins . As expected, the death energy in five death energy pools were halved .

Zuo Mo thought and then took out a death energy bead to throw into one of the death energy pools .

Boom!

Surging death energy erupted .

The shen wood coffins suddenly lit up and started to absorb the death energy that had come out . Zuo Mo touched a shen wood coffin and closed his eyes . The death energy was quickly permeating inside the coffin . Because the death energy was in high concentration, after it met the vitality of the shen wood coffin, the base shen power produced was three times stronger than before .

Zuo Mo became excited .

The conclusion he made after repeated consideration in these past days was that enough base shen power would allow everyone to wake up . The base shen power was unique . It could permeate all things and nourish people from the root .

Everything was developing in a good direction . The future was filled with hope .

Zuo Mo pulled out what he had gained today . The marked poison stone could only be given to the flower yao after he returned to Mo Cloud Sea . The dragon heart was for Eldest Shixiong . The jade skeleton for Lan .

The ghost fire flickered in his hand . He was silent . When he obtained the ghost fire, he just had the beginnings of a thought, but the idea was still unclear .

At this time, the female within the ghost fire suddenly appeared . She bowed when she saw Zuo Mo . “Grandmaster!”

Zuo Mo stilled and then his thoughts were pulled back . “What is it?”

“Could Grandmaster bestow a death energy bead to this servant?” the female shadow said honestly . “If Grandmaster could bestow a death energy bead, this servant will be able to stabilize my body, and grow stronger . This servant is willing to be controlled by Grandmaster!”

“Oh!” A look flashed through Zuo Mo’s eyes . After a moment of silence, he threw over a death energy bead . “Here!’

The ghost fire female was overjoyed . The ghost fire flickered and wrapped around the death energy bead .

The green ghost fire immediately had a faint tinge of grey .

“This servant needs multiple days to absorb the death energy . Grandmaster, please forgive me . ” The female figure wavered .

“Go,” Zuo Mo said .

The female figure bowed again and then disappeared .

Zuo Mo thought to himself and then put the ghost fire back in the ring . He took out something else . The Yinyang Ring Stone! When Zuo Mo saw this item, the first person he thought of was Luo Li . Yin and yang coexisted on this stone . If this stone was forged into a flying sword, the best form would be two swords chained together, and would be most suitable for Luo Li and Wo Li .

As Zuo Mo’s understanding of life and death increased, he saw the connection between Wo Li and Luo Li more clearly . If Wo Li did not die, then Luo Li would not perish . The two were truly a pair that would live and die together . If this stone could be forged into a Yinyang Paired Chain Swords, when the two woke up, their power would go up another level .

Carefully putting the Yinyang Ring Stone away, Zuo Mo picked up his biggest gain of the day . The long horn, the horn of the first mo king .

Zuo Mo’s hand caressed the patterns on the surface of the first mo king’s horn . He took a deep breath and his mind slowly sank into it .
