Ye Mo’s first day in the Door of Desolation flew by.
Looking to the east, he could see a faint glimpse of sunlight. Ye Mo had barely opened his eyes when he was woken up by Miao Miao, with Mao Mao and Taiyi Qinglian behind her.
Ye Mo knew that it was time for his routine beatdown to begin.
The four of them arrived at the arena once, again.
“Hmm, Ye Mo, you’ve actually reached the advanced stage of the Heaven’s Strength Realm?” Mao Mao was taken by surprise by the change in Ye Mo’s aura.
“Indeed.” Ye Mo nodded his head.
“Looks like today’s beating session is no longer necessary.” Even Taiyi Qinglian was secretly shocked at how fast Ye Mo was growing, but she didn’t show her surprise on her face. She said, “On to the second part.”
“Second part?” Ye Mo was surprised. He said, “I don’t think that’s necessary. The purpose of you all training me is to make sure I’ll be able to cultivate the Asura Power in the future. But since I’ve consumed the Asura Deity Blood, I’ve already cultivated the Asura Power.”
“Cultivated the Asura Power?” Mao Mao and Taiyi Qinglian were both shocked as they looked at Ye Mo carefully, “Did you really consume the Asura Deity Blood?”
“Haha, the two of you must be scared now.” Miao Miao laughed at their expressions. “Our junior, Ye Mo, is definitely insanely strong, being able to cultivate the Asura Power this soon after joining our Asura Dao Palace.”
“That...” Mao Mao was too stunned for words. Hell was going to break loose if the other seniors found out about this.
“That’s normal,” Taiyi Qinglian. “Asura Dao Palace’s disciples are all insanely strong – that’s why we are given such high honor. Regardless of what happens, we must not lose. We have to carry the pride and authority of the Asura Deity.”
“That’s right.” Mao Mao nodded his head as well. “Ye Mo will definitely be able to win the most amount of resources for us during the trials next month. Really, the amount of resources doesn’t matter. What matters is that people from the five other palaces know there are no pushovers in the Asura Dao Palace.”
“Yes!” Ye Mo nodded. Unlike the other five palaces, the Asura Dao Palace didn’t have much in the way of rules and regulations. For instance, in the Beast Dao Palace, killing monsters was prohibited, and disciples were supposed to avoid lust and alcohol.
The Asura Dao Palace only had one rule – protect the honor of the palace with your life. Too many restrictions would only hinder the disciples’ training.
“If that’s the case, then you shall train regularly and try your best to make the breakthrough this month,” Taiyi Qinglian said. “You may start taking up missions on occasion. I heard that Miao Miao spent 18000 credits to redeem the Asura Deity Blood for you. Remember to return her the credits, understood?”
“Understood, senior.” Ye Mo nodded at the lolicon in front of him. Even though he had already made it to the advanced stage of the Heaven’s Strength Realm, and he was powerful enough to kill elites in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm, he was still afraid of Taiyi Qinglian.
As Qinglian Lianzi’s offspring – Ye Mo wanted to see how strong she was.
Mao Mao gave him a few more reminders before leaving as well.
“Brother Ye Mo, did you hear that? You have to return those 18000 credit points to me.” Miao Miao smiled proudly.
“I’ll definitely return them after I complete a mission,” Ye Mo said.
“You don’t have to.” Miao Miao patted his shoulder. “So long as you follow me back home and get rid of Lin Langya for me, I’ll consider your mission completed.”
Miao Miao wasn’t a human, but a member of the Spirit Foxes – a spirit beast similar to the Nine Tail Spirit Fox’s of City Master Cai Ling, though nowhere near as strong.
Miao Miao was the daughter of the head of the Spirit Foxes, and the Spirit Dogs’ young master, Lin Langya, was trying to marry her, or at least pretending to. Really, he wanted to use their marriage to take over the Spirit Foxe and steal their sacred treasure, the Devil Refining Gourd.
“Sister Miao Miao, why don’t you find someone else? Mao Mao’s strong, he could do it for you,” Ye Mo said.
“Lin Langya has seen Brother Mao Mao before – he’s a disciple from the Beast Dao, so he knows all nine of us,” Miao Miao explained. “If he recognizes us, everything will be exposed. He’s been training behind closed doors recently, so I’m guessing that no one in the Spirit Fox Clan knows of your existence.
“Alright then. How strong in Lin Langya?” Ye Mo asked.
“He was in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm before his closed-door training, and I don’t know how much he has improved since then,” Miao Miao said. “We’ll head to the North Desolation Mountain first and accept a mission there. My Spirit Fox Clan resides in the Lingyun Cave inside the mountain.”
With Miao Miao treating Ye Mo with such honor, Ye Mo was definitely going to help out.
Ye Mo followed Miao Miao to the credits hall and got himself a credit point card before collecting a mission to the North Desolation Mountain.
The two of them agreed to get going the next morning.
Regarding the Xiao Yue issue, Ye Mo decided he had no choice but to put it aside, for now. He had to believe that one day he would get to see her again.
Late that night, Ye Mo hid in his room and started to train. A golden glow exploded from somewhere far away. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0velFire.ɴet
Ye Mo opened his eyes and saw Xiao Jing standing before him.
“Xiao Jing? Are you alright?” Ye Mo asked.
Xiao Jing shook her head, looking unconcerned.
While Xiao Jing couldn’t speak, she could understand what Ye Mo was saying.
“Then, did you see that sister from before?” Ye Mo asked anxiously.
Xiao Jing shook her head disappointedly, before letting out a few words of gibberish, a furious expression on her face.
“What do you mean by this?” Ye Mo was extremely anxious as he embraced Xiao Jing in his arms. He assumed that while entering the Inner Peak was easy for Xiao Jing, there were a bunch of ancient monsters inside the peak, making it rather difficult to follow Xiao Yue and remain unseen.
“If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to take matters into my own hands,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll settle Sister Miao Miao’s issue first before heading to the Desolate Ancient World. If I perform well and get noticed by those ancient monsters, I may have the chance to be invited into the Inner Peak.”
That plan in mind, there was nothing else Ye Mo could do at the moment.
The next day, Ye Mo and Miao Miao left the Door of Desolation under the intention of executing a mission at the North Desolate Mountain.
Flying across thousands of mountains and seas, Ye Mo could see that the Desolation City was extremely huge.
After three sleepless days of traveling, the two of them arrived at the North Desolate Mountain.
“This is the North Desolate Mountain?” Ye Mo made a noise with his mouth. He couldn’t quite believe his eyes. The weaving and fluctuating mountain range resembled the back of a giant dragon.
“Brother Ye Mo, remember our mission,” Miao Miao said. “There’s been a huge spike in the number of monsters along the outskirts of the North Desolate Mountain. I’m afraid that they’ll attack the Spirit Fox Clan and hurt my family. Our mission is to remove these monsters for good. A heartstone of a monster in the True Energy Realm can be exchanged for one credit point, while the heartstone of a monster in the Spirit Devour Realm goes for 10,000 credit points.”
“There is a huge group of monsters over there!” Ye Mo spotted a group of monsters circling the border of the North Desolate Mountain. “By the looks of it, they’re sealing the mountain.”
“Sealing the mountain?” Miao Miao looked at the monsters below, half-confused as she said, “The mission details said these monsters appeared out of nowhere. There’s supposed to be an agreement between the Door of Desolation and the Demon City Ambassador that no monsters are allowed to appear anywhere besides the Desolate Demon Valley, or the Door of Desolation disciples would kill off any that they saw.”
“Maybe they’re hiding something,” Ye Mo said.”Let’s test out their strength first!”
He got out his Sky Blood Spear, flapped his Hell Dragon Wings and flew over to the monsters.
Miao Miao followed him silently.
