Ye Mo, you’re crazy! We’ll die if we go there,
Nangong Yurou shouted.

I’m in a hurry,
Ye Mo said.
My injuries will get worse, and my speed will slow down. Sooner or later, Du Long will catch up to us. It’s better to go to that thing, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
He knew that it was their only hope of survival. If he had not brought Nangong Yurou with him, then he could have easily escaped. But Nangong Yurou was Nangong Qingxue’s sister, he couldn’t have just left her to die.
Ye Mo held Nangong Yurou tightly and flew toward the dense place within the black trees. They looked extremely thick and strong. It would take at least three or four people to wrap around one tree. But that’s where the trees were shaking the most violently. Above the dense area, flames were falling to the ground. a cloud of Spirit Devour Realm demonic beasts poured out of that area of the forest. It looked like they were either coming out of a nest to attack Ye Mo or fleeing in his direction.
The raging demonic beasts didn’t seem to notice Ye Mo, as they rushed away. They were only in the early Spirit Devour Realm, and some were even in the Energy Burst Realm. Ye Mo waved a few shots in front of him to kill a few of them, clearing a line of sight.
Afterward, a huge golden scorpion crawled toward Ye Mo. It was three feet tall, its entire body glowed with a golden light, and the thorns on its tail dragged across the ground, cutting a deep furrow in the dirt. On its head was a devilish face, and on both sides of its body, it had 10-meter wings that were opened like a Dapeng Golden Statue. Its sharp wings were like harvesters, cutting through all the trees on both sides of its body. What was most striking was the person standing on the scorpion’s head, holding the scorpion’s tail. It wasn’t a condensed energy body, but a real physical body.



A Transcendence Realm demonic beast can condense a human body. The combination of the original body and the human body is even more powerful.
Nangong Yurou explained.
Generally, a True Energy Realm demonic beast could condense Diving Energy to help its attacks. But once it reached the Transcendence Realm, it could condense flesh. Its cultivation would be even stronger, and it could abandon its original body to become human.
The Dapeng Demon Scorpion saw Ye Mo instantly, and it felt a vague familiarity toward him. Xiao Jing jumped out from Ye Mo’s chest, walking on golden light, and flew towards the Dapeng Demon Scorpion.
When the Dapeng Devil Scorpion saw Xiao Jing, both the human and scorpion bodies looked afraid. It wasn’t that it feared Xiao Jing. Rather, Xiao Jing projected fear onto it, a kind of bloodline suppression.

You’re the Green-eyed Gold Crystal Beast?
The Dapeng Demon Scorpion said.

Ao ao ao!
Xiao Jing yelled out.
Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou couldn’t understand what Xiao Jing said, but the Dapeng Demon Scorpion could. He asked,
Then why are you following that human?


Ao ao ao!
Xiao Jing yelled out again, then turned into a stream of golden light and went back into Ye Mo’s chest.

Human, leave. Because of the Green-eyed Gold Crystal Beast, I won’t kill you today,
the Dapeng Demon Scorpion said.
Ye Mo didn’t hesitate. He immediately leaped over the Dapeng Demon Scorpion. Ye Mo relaxed his tightened nerves as they had dodged a bullet. The Dapeng Demon Scorpion had let him go. It was probably to look good in front of Xiao Jing. But it wouldn’t do the same for Du Long. Du Long was about to be very unlucky. Maybe the Dapeng Demon Scorpion would tear him to bits.


Ye Mo flew for a few hours before finally leaving the black forest and arriving above a mountain range. Ye Mo took Nangong Yurou to a cliff. Ye Mo knew that the higher the altitude, the stronger the Spirit Qi of the world would be.

Guard me. I’m going to meditate and heal,
Ye Mo said. He sat down and started running his Five-Elements Cultivation without paying any more attention to Nangong Yurou.
Nangong Yurou sat to one side and stared at Ye Mo. She couldn’t help but feel curious and asked,
Ye Mo, how do you know my sister? I’ve never seen my sister slap someone for an outsider.


It’s none of your business,
Ye Mo said with his eyes closed. The Five-Elements Cultivation turned as the Light of Glorious Sun started to heal the wounds on his body. Du Long’s punch had heavily injured him.

If you tell me your story with my sister, I’ll tell you where I found the Desolate Ancient Pearl. How about it?
Nangong Yurou batted her eyes.

Will you tell me the truth?
Ye Mo asked. Nangong Yurou should be able to guess where to find the Desolate Ancient Pearls as she had already found one. This was excellent news for Ye Mo.

Of course I will. I’m Nangong Clan’s second young lady,
Nangong Yurou said.

I met your sister at the Desolate Demon Valley. I saved her life,
Ye Mo said quietly.

How could you have saved my sister with your power at the time?
Nangong Yurou asked doubtfully.
It was probably my sister who saved you right? Besides, even if you did save my sister, she still wouldn’t be so friendly toward you.


If you don’t believe me then forget about it,
Ye Mo said.
I’ve already fulfilled my end of the bargain. Tell me where to find the Desolate Ancient Pearls.



Nangong Yurou stared at Ye Mo. He didn’t look like he was lying, but she really couldn’t imagine how Ye Mo had saved her sister. It made her even more curious about Ye Mo. When Ye Mo got hit by Du Long’s punch while trying to save her life, she was slightly touched.

I found the Desolate Ancient Pearl in a cave. Some demonic beasts love to collect them,
Nangong Yurou said.
Ye Mo nodded and then went back to ignoring her. He began to turn the Cosmos Energy Gathering Formation. A Cosmos Energy Gathering Formation shadow covered Ye Mo’s body.

What’s that?
Nangong Yurou asked with surprise when she saw Ye Mo’s Cosmos Energy Gathering Formation shadow. Her beautiful big eyes were very curious as they stared at Ye Mo.
As the Gathering Formation opened, the Spirit Qi of the world was sucked into Ye Mo’s body at a terrifying speed. It was at least five times faster than Nangong Yurou’s speed.

It seems he’s got a lot of secrets,
Nongong Yurou said to herself.
No wonder his cultivation speed’s so fast. It must be because of that Gathering Formation shadow. But this speed is just too ridiculous.

It took three hours of effort before all of Ye Mo’s injuries fully recovered. His strength was also restored to its peak. Nangong Yurou had been helping Ye Mo guard the place. While Ye Mo was healing his injuries, a few demonic beasts had attacked her. But they were all repelled by Nangong Yurou’s Zen Sound Technique.

All of my injuries are fully healed,
Ye Mo said.
You don’t have to come with me anymore. I want to do this alone.


You want to go alone?
Nangong Yu said with surprise.
Wouldn’t it be better for the two of us to act together? Don’t think that I’ll drag you down. I have the map of the Desolate Ancient World with me.
She took out a map made from sheepskin.

This map has all of the locations of the Desolate Ancient World marked. There are some pretty dangerous places,
Nangong Yurou said proudly.



It seems you came prepared.
Ye Mo shook his head helplessly as he said,
you lead the way then. I’ll cover any attacks that we encounter while we travel.
