Chapter 90: Advancement Is A Piece of Cake

Ye Mo washed himself off at the lake, put on a new set of clothes, and went back to Xiao mansion.

When a martial artist manages to advance to the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, they gain the ability to cover their body with an energy barrier to protect them from getting splattered with blood. Each and every realm of the Energy Shaping Realm endows the martial artist with different abilities. Advancing to the Energy Shaping Realm was the foundational level for every warrior.

As soon as Ye Mo returned to the Xiao mansion, Madame Xiao stopped him and asked, “Ye Mo! Why are you out this late? And where’s Xiao Yue?”

“Madame, I was just about to talk to you about it. The Phoenix Curse went rampant again!” Ye Mo said.

Madame Xiao’s face darkened and asked, “How is that possible? Where is she now?”

Ye Mo looked at Madamw Xiao’s worried face, and his heart sank. She reminded him of his own mother who would’ve been around Madame Xiao’s age. If she were alive, my mother would worry about me like how Madam Xiao is worried about her daughter, wouldn’t she?

“Please, let me explain,” Ye Mo said. “Yueyue couldn’t control the curse and wanted to release it far away from Limestone city, that’s why she left. I would never let her die alone, that’s why I went after her. We didn’t expect a saint from the Sky Bane Palace to appear before us and help Yueyue to control the curse. The saint wanted to take Yueyue back to the Sky Bane Palace and train her. She’s very strong, probably stronger than the True Energy Realm, and she seemed sincere about saving Yueyue, that’s why we agreed.”

“A saint from the Sky Bane Palace?” Madame Xiao said with excitement. It seemed like she’d heard about them before.

“Yes, the saint said that she can help Yueyue control the Phoenix Curse,” Ye Mo said and nodded.

“Finally! The gods have not abandoned Yueyue yet! Now that she’s gone to the Sky Bane Palace, her future should be bright. But I guess it will be hard for me to see her again…” Madame Xiao sighed.

“It’s alright, Madame Xiao,” Ye Mo comforted. “I’ve promised Yuyue to take care of you two. I’ll bring both of you to the Sky Bane Palace when I get stronger.”

Madame Xiao looked at Ye Mo and smiled at him for the first time. “Ye Mo, I’m sorry for mistreating you all this time. Even so, you’ve never abandoned Xiao Yue and kept protecting her. Please, accept my apologies.”

“Madame, I’ve never blamed you for worrying about your daughter.” Ye Mo saw that Madame Xiao was about to bow and quickly stopped her.

The next morning, Ye Mo trained with the Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao mansion’s garden shirtless. He swung the spear as the jet-black spearhead shone with the Dragon Energy. He gripped the spear firmly and threw it forward. The spear flew like an arrow, cutting down several bamboos along its way.

Ye Mo pulled with the energy in his hand, and the spear naturally flew back to him. He kicked off the ground, caught the spear mid-air, and thrust towards the ground. A seven-foot black dragon, formed from his energy, appeared and struck the ground.

The spear pierced through the solid ground and formed a huge pit. The remaining bamboo shook violently from the shockwave.

Energy Shaping Third Realm martial artist could summon an energy hand to grab onto stuff. In short, they could perform telekinesis.

Yet Ye Mo was still only a Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm martial artist and was not able to perform telekinesis. What he did was he infused Dragon Energy into the spear and moved the spear around by commanding that energy.

Ye Mo took the spear and was about to leave when he heard footsteps behind him.

“So you’re training here,” Leng Leng said as she walked towards him, followed by Leng Feng. “I’ve heard that you’ve advanced to the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm. You sure are insane, huh? You were able to defeat a Seventh Realm warrior in one hit when you’re just a Second Realm. An Eighth Realm should pose no threat to you now.”

“Leng Leng? Why are you here?” Ye Mo smiled. He hadn’t seen her since they parted after the fight for Mo Clan’s treasure.

“Because you won’t come and visit me!” Leng Leng smiled. “You gave us all of the Mo Clan’s treasures and my dad wanted to thank you. But you never left the Xiao mansion after the fight, so we thought that we should come and visit you instead.”

“You don’t have to thank me. Oh, right, since both of you are here, I have a huge gift for you two,” Ye Mo said and took out two refined grey pills. They were the two Energy Shaping Pills he took from the Barbarians.

“Energy Shaping Pills!” Leng Leng looked at the pills and shouted in awe.

“These are Energy Shaping Pills that were refined by yours truly,” Ye Mo said. “These should be able to get you into the Energy Shaping Realm easily once you two have reached the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm.”

The siblings stared at the pills excitedly. Ye Mo was giving both of them two high-grade Energy Shaping Pills without wanting anything back from them.

“Thank you, my friend…” Leng Feng said. “When you need our help in the future, just let us know. We’ll follow you even if we’re going to hell itself.”

“Same here!” Leng Leng smiled and joked. “But I guess you wouldn’t force me to go to hell, right?”

“Keep them, I’ve no use for them,” Ye Mo said. “Have a sit and meditate. I want to infuse some energies for both of you.”

Both of them sat down right away without hesitating. Ye Mo infused his Dragon Energy into their Energy Centers. The dragons turned into energy seeds and hovered in their Energy Centers. If they were able to completely absorb the seeds, their energy would become dense, and their cultivation speed will be increased by 10 fold.

This was the method that Ye Mo had used to help Qinyun Alliance’s Yan Shihan to advance into the Spirit Cultivating Eight Realm.

After two hours, Leng Leng and Leng Feng both opened their eyes as their energies became denser and denser.

“Congratulations, both of you are now in the Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm,” Ye Mo said. “Keep on training for a few days, and you two should be able to reach the Seventh Realm. By then, both of you should be able to stand toe-to-toe with Qin Tianmu.”

The siblings looked at each other in disbelief. They’d never thought that breaking through a level would be this easy. By the norm, it should have taken them around half a year to advance to the Fifth Realm, yet Ye Mo helped them to achieve that in two hours.

The surprises from Ye Mo just kept on coming.
