Chapter 1174: Trouble in Pill City
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: mjn0898
Hu Jiming was scared shitless, he had heard of Ye Mo’s purple ray and even sneered at Tie Baifei of Infinity Sect. No matter how powerful it was, it was just a sword technique and Tie Baifei was many levels higher than Ye Mo. Yet he couldn’t even dodge a strike, how useless was he?
But now, he fully understood how powerful Ye Mo’s strike was. This strike almost carried his mind away. Luckily, his power was much higher than Ye Mo and despite being injured by the lightning arcs, he wasn’t completely immersed in that purple ray. He reacted and hurriedly tried to release his flying sword to block it.
But that instant, he wasn’t just disappointed, he felt despair. He felt his flying sword was slow – very slow.
This was a domain, this was definitely a domain! Hu Jiming came from a 9-star sect and he had knowledge. Domain was a high level cultivator’s power, it definitely wasn’t something a body condensation state cultivator could control. Even prodigies could barely sense domains after cauldron filling state.
Usually, it was truth realisation state cultivators who mastered domains, there were a few disaster transformation state cultivators who understood domain much greater than people of the same state.
This strike made him feel that he had stepped foot in Ye Mo’s domain, in this domain he couldn’t control anything. The fear of death spread and he knew that if this continued, he would die for sure. Hu Jiming didn’t dare to hold back anymore, he spat a few mouthfuls of essence blood and used a rune. His flying sword sped up instantly and barely blocked the purple ray.
With a clank, Hu Jiming spat blood again and found his hand had disappeared.
He didn’t dare to stay anymore and turned to run.
When almost everyone thought Ye Mo would chase out and kill him, Ye Mo stopped and even closed his eyes.
Xu Tong was watching Ye Mo constantly. When he exerted his dominance, Xu Tong finally felt assured. But in that most crucial moment, he let Hu Jiming run and instead closed his eyes.
Xu Tong immediately knew what was going on. Ye Mo probably gained sudden enlightenment in the fight and so she released her flying sword without hesitation and attacked Hu Jiming.
Hu Jiming was like a dog without home right now, he had never seen someone have a domain in body condensation state so he just wanted to run as far away as possible.
He finally woke up again when Xu Tong’s flying sword caught up to his head, but then his mind sunk into an eternal void. His essence spirit was also killed by Xu Tong’s flying sword.
The hall was very silent and only Ye Mo stood there with his eyes closed.
Ye Mo indeed felt this extremely abstruse thing, and so despite knowing Hu Jiming was running away, he still didn’t move. He was scared that feeling would immediately disappear.
When he used that strike, he felt he was the ruler of the heavens and earth. It was as though the surrounding space became his as he used Zi Xu. In this region of space he could do whatever he wanted – he was the ruler, he was the controller.
He didn’t understand domains but in that instant, he felt if his strike was perfected it would become very significant.
After a long while, he nodded to Xu Tong. He felt pity that there was no powerful opponent here, if there was he would be able to unleash himself in battle and further strengthen that enlightenment.
“Xiaoma.... Pill king Ye...” Qing Han walked over, she wanted to call martial brother Xiaoma but his power and status was far from what she could compare.
Ye Mo smiled. “Martial sister Qing Han, just call me martial brother Xiaoma, friendship won’t change due to time and power. Xiaoma will always be that Xiaoma, not someone else.”
“Qing Han don’t be rude.” A martial sister from Clear Dream Mosque reproached and bowed to Ye Mo. “We didn’t expect to see pill king Ye here, congratulations on powering up.”
Ye Mo nodded and didn’t say anything, he turned to Qing Han and said, “There’re nine spirit marrow ponds here, you guys can take two, please send one to martial sister Ling Xiaoshuang for me.”
“Martial brother Xiaoma, you and martial sister Xiaoshuang....” Qing Han said. Martial sister Xiaoshuang didn’t seem to be happy with martial brother Xiaoma at the Truth Fall Palace.
Ye Mo shook his head. “I’m not close with her but I’m close to her master Shan qian bei.”
Ye Mo didn’t explain it. He had agreed to give Ling Xiaoshuang some spirit marrow. He knew that Shan Bingfeng didn’t mean the top grade spirit marrow here, but he found this due to her suggestion.
“Sister Xu Tong. Collect the spirit marrow ponds you and Brother Lin cultivated in.” Then Ye Mo turned to the eight cultivators who retreated and said, “Since you’ve encountered this place, everyone has an opportunity. You guys can have one spirit marrow pond, you eight can split it.”
No one would dare to say anything even if Ye Mo didn’t give any away, but now that Ye Mo said this, they all charged at the spirit marrow pond Ye Mo gave them.
Ye Mo took the remaining four spirit marrow ponds.
Then, Ye Mo asked, “I set up a level seven formation here, how did you break it?”
He realized how those people got through before. It was probably due to him taking away the extreme grade spirit range and thus the formation didn’t have a spirit source to power it.
The Spirit Devouring Bugs wouldn’t be able to survive without the spirit chi supporting it. From that perspective, he saved these people.
But the defense formation he set up used spirit stones, why was it broken too?
Yi Jing heard this and shivered but he still walked out and saluted with his fists. “Pill king Ye, it’s my fault. I didn’t know this was your defense formation so I told them how to break it.”
“You know formations?” Ye Mo asked.
Yi Jing nodded. “Yes, I’m Heaven Yan Sect’s level seven formation grand master.”
Ye Mo nodded.
At this moment, a rumbling sounded as though something was going to collapse. Ye Mo thought this place was going to collapse and quickly said, “Everyone leave, this place is going to collapse.”
Everyone retreated and flew out of this place back on the surface.
There was still rumbling but no signs of collapse. However, no one wanted to go back down again and all got on their flying magic artifacts, bidding Ye Mo farewell.
When Ye Mo saw their magic artifacts, he was dazed. Extreme grade spirit artifacts could come in here? He was using an extreme grade cultivation artifact.
But he immediately realized each one had a cold resistance bead and formation attached to it.
That worked as well.
Ye Mo saw the Clear Dream Mosque people didn’t go so he asked, “Martial sister Qing Han, how did you guys know about this place?”
Before Qing Han could reply, her martial sister said, “A few months ago, a few cultivators who came here found that there was very dense spirit chi so they sent out messenger flying swords before going down. My two martial sister and I were near the southern lands so we came together after hearing the news.”
Ye Mo nodded, so that was it. his location was exposed again, it wasn’t suitable to stay here.
Just when he was about to leave, a red messenger flying sword fell into his hands.
There were only a few who could send him messenger flying swords, but after reading the content, he said heavily, “Let’s go back to Mo Yue City immediately.”
“What’s going on?” Ning Qingxue asked.
“Pill City Shen Guanqing city lord is back, he sent me this. There is trouble at the Pill City, he’s not at Pill City and is waiting for me at Mo Yue City.” Ye Mo had a bad feeling.
“Pill City is in trouble? Who dares to touch it?” Xu Tong didn’t believe this.
