Chapter 672: Suspicion and Trust

Facing Feng Huang’s Blood Energy Blade Aura, Ye Mo displayed the Shapeshifting Illusion, shooting away like a sharp blade, dodging the blade aura attack.

Seeing the technique that Ye Mo had displayed, Feng Huang, who had wanted to attack again, stopped immediately. His expression was filled with disbelief.

“Is that Bloodsaber’s Shapeshifting Illusion?”

Feng Huang immediately identified the technique. It was a technique that only the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber could display.

“That’s right. This is the Shapeshifting Illusion that my master taught me.” Ye Mo nodded. “But at the moment, I’m only capable of mastering the First Tier Illusion.”

“You really are Bloodsaber’s disciple?”

Feng Huang started to believe what Ye Mo was saying.

“Door Master, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I am completely uninterested in whatever key you have,” Ye Mo said candidly. “I only want to escape.”

“What’s your name?” Feng Huang asked calmly.

“I’m called Ye Mo.” Ye Mo bowed and paid his respects. “Master, the Young Master is currently shut off in his own mystical space to train. The moment he returns and reaches the Profound Heaven Realm, he’ll suppress the Ancient Poison Curse of his body and combine with the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies, enabling him to control the Ancient Poison Curse Power. When that happens, he’ll be invincible, and the Zone of Desolation being taken over by the First Heaven Society would just be a matter of time. We have to stop him.”

“You? Given your level, you think you’ll be able to stop Feng Chu?” Feng Huang said coldly. “Based on your current strength, you’re at most in the Half Profound Realm. Your realm level should be suppressed, am I right? The Transcendence Aura in your body has already reached the Fifth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, but your actual realm is stuck at the Third Tier. Based on your current strength, you must be someone special for the First Heaven Society people to treat you like this. But, even if you were a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm, opposing the First Heaven Society is suicide.”

He continued, “Your words have made me even more suspicious, even though you know Bloodsaber’s Shapeshifting Illusion.”

“Master, I’m no hero,” Ye Mo said truthfully. “The only reason I want to stop the First Heaven Society is that one of the Four Main Poison Curse Bodies is my beloved. If not for that, why would I want to oppose them?”

Seeing Ye Mo’s expression, Feng Huang could tell from his eyes that he was telling the truth – such levels of genuineness couldn’t be faked.

“Alright, I believe you,” Feng Huang said calmly. “But you have to know that your training has already taken the evil route – if you keep training, your body will likely explode and die.”

“Evil route?” Ye Mo asked, startled. “Explode and die?”

“At the moment, your realm level is being suppressed, meaning your Heart can’t absorb the Transcendence Aura in your body. As time goes by, that aura will start to accumulate, and your body’s defenses won’t be able to keep up with the building up of Transcendence Aura. Sooner or later, the accumulated aura will pour out like violent waves, bursting your body right open,” Feng Huang said calmly, “If you can’t advance through the realm levels in time, you’ll be in trouble sooner or later. I don’t know why you would intentionally curb your realm level – maybe it’s to hide your identity. After all, a Transcendence Realm Third Tier fighter defeating a Profound World Realm fighter would naturally make others think that you’re a generational talent. But you’ll end up harming yourself.”

“Master, to tell you the truth, the technique that I am mastering in is no normal martial technique, which is why I am unable to advance up the realms in the space of the Zone of Desolation.”

“Oh? Unable to advance while you’re in the Xone of Desolation? How is that possible?” Feng Huang was caught by surprise. “That type of martial technique wouldn’t a “martial technique”, but a deity technique. The deity technique is too strong for the natural environment. I didn’t expect you to be so strong. Perhaps even Feng Chu doesn’t have this kind of talent. You’re destined for greatness. At the moment, the most important thing for you is to find a space to advance up the realm levels.”

“Master, I’d like to try to help you unlock the Soul Steadying Lock Formation.”

Ye Mo had some experience in unlocking formations. But this formation wasn’t generated by energy, but the indignant souls of the dead in the prison. The stronger the power of those souls, the stronger the seal formation’s strength would be.

“Oh? You want to borrow the strength of that strong soul being inside your body to help?” Feng Huang looked delighted. If the soul inside Ye Mo’s body was really that strong, it might be able to unlock the formation.

Ye Mo shook his head. “I can’t control the soul inside my body.”

Walking towards Feng Huang and opening up his palm, Ye Mo felt a wave of energy washing over him. He started to awaken the Rising Dragon Pillars and started absorbing it, only to realize that he couldn’t absorb the soul energy.

“Brother Ye Mo, try using the Light of the Glorious Sun!” Ling’er said.

The Glorious Sun could shine on some indignant souls – perhaps it could counter the Soul Steadying Lock Formation.

Ye Mo reached his hand out, unleashing the Light of the Glorious Sun. Shining down, Feng Huang felt a wave of gentle energy flowing through his body. The Soul Steadying Lock Formation started cracking

That feeling was a huge comfort for Feng Huang.

Ah, ah, ah!

The screams of the vicious indignant souls echoed around the cave.

“Quickly, stop!” Feng Huang shouted, stopping Ye Mo.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Mo asked, surprised, as he retracted the Light Of the Glorious Sun. “What’s the problem?”

“I didn’t expect for you to combine the powers of the Golden Bird and the Light of the Glorious Sun,” Feng Huang said. “While that Light of the Glorious Sun could unlock the formation, your strength is too weak, and ended up causing the seal’s range to shrink even further. The final result will be my soul exploding.”

“Then what do we do?” Ye Mo said anxiously. He could feel the wave of energy nearing Feng Huang once again. Previously, Feng Huang was perhaps still able to walk a few steps. Now, he could only move up and down.

“Don’t worry about saving me.” Feng Huang waved his hand. “I’ve been trapped here for a hundred years. I trust you now. The most important thing is to find a way to get you out. In his cave, besides the entrance that you came in from, there is another opening. But, with your current strength, you’ll never be able to open it.”

“Where is it?” Ye Mo said. “Let me try!”

“Where we are now is actually the deep end of a giant mountain,” Feng Huang said. “Observe carefully. Behind me, to the left, you’ll see a gigantic rock blocking the cave opening. But, over time, it’s weathered away, and the giant rock has become one with the cave. The giant rock is an Ancient Profound Heaven Rock. For you to destroy it, you’ll need strength in the Profound World Realm. But, without any natural energy and aura in here, it’s impossible to train at all.”

“That’s right. Without any natural auras here, if I use up all of the True Energy inside my body, it will be difficult to restore my powers.” Ye Mo nodded his head in agreement.

Even if he had the power to break through the stone door made of Ancient Profound Heaven Rock, he had to do it in a single hit. Otherwise, if he failed, with his energy all expended, he wouldn’t get a second chance.
