Zi Yi, stop teasing me.
Ye Mo shrugged helplessly and changed the topic,
I see you’re now in the late-stage Spirit Devour Realm, too. Are there any signs you’ll break through to the Transcendence Realm anytime soon?


How can a breakthrough be so easy?
Zi Yi curled her lips and replied.
Zi Yi had already reached late-stage Spirit Devour Realm, like Ye Mo, and her cultivation speed was truly very fast. One ought to know that Ye Mo had relied on a series of fortuitous encounters and the Rising Dragon Pillar in his body to reach his current height.
When Ye Mo first met Zi Yi, she was still at late-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. And, since she was an Icefire Taiji Sword user, she left a deep impression on him. A person like her shouldn’t have remained an unknown disciple of the Six Dao Palaces.

Ye Mo, why are you here?
Nangong Yurou walked out and asked with a pleasant surprise.



Lord Castellan sent me here to pass you a message,
Ye Mo said.
He wants you back.


I thought you were here to visit me,
Nangong Yurou said with a pout, somewhat displeased by his reply.
Ye Mo was thoroughly defeated by this young lady. After trying his best to persuade her, he was finally able to get her to return. He was even made to promise that he would return to the Desolate City with her.

What? You’re saying you are going to the Zone of Seals as a representative of the Nangong Clan?
Nangong Yurou cried out in alarm when she heard Ye Mo’s news.

Yeah,
Ye Mo nodded his head.

Even after crying and making a big scene, father has never agreed to let me go,
Nangong Yurou said.
But now he’s agreed to send you there instead. He’s so unfair. No, this won’t do. I’m going to see him now. He has to let me go as well.

She hastened her steps toward the Castellan’s Estate.
It would seem like Nangong Wudi had already expected Ye Mo to return with Nangong Yurou. An extra pair of chopsticks was already prepared for Ye Mo at the dinner table. It was also at the dinner table that Nangong Yurou started making a scene, demanding to go to the Zone of Seals as well. But Nangong Wudi still refused.
The trip to the Zone of Seals wasn’t a vacation. Even people like Ye Mo and the others were traveling disguised as ordinary merchants on their trading trip.
The Zone of Seals was even more powerful than the Zone of Desolation. There were countless geniuses there, and many people there were excellent sealing artists. Any random seal might have a world-shattering and heaven-defying power.


After the dinner, Ye Mo returned to the room Nangong Wudi had prepared for him. There, he started cultivating again. In terms of cultivation, Ye Mo would never rest.
Of course, Ye Mo would also read more books on cultivation to increase his knowledge.
In the past, he had thought that in cultivation, he only needed to rely on his own understanding and comprehension. But, after coming to the Door of Desolation, he’d found that books regarding cultivation that contained the insights of experts were very helpful in giving him a flash of insight.
As Ye Mo shut his eyes in meditative cultivation, his Heart Minion activated the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation as well. The Zhu Immortal Magical Formation already had a barrier of seals. But Ye Mo knew that it wasn’t the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation’s final form. He still needed to understand each of the seals before he could improve the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation.
When he did, the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation would truly be a realm of immortals. Ye Mo would even be able to sever the connection between the world within the formation and the outside world, causing the people trapped in the formation to be unable to maintain their Transcendence Golden Body, unable to be one with the world.
Of course, Ye Mo had yet to reach that level. To comprehend all the seals wouldn’t be simple. They were the seals of immortals, the language of immortals. How could a mere mortal easily comprehend them?
As Ye Mo’s mind wandered about, he started sinking into a state of comprehension and was only awakened when someone knocked on the door of his room.

Ye Mo, it’s me.

Ye Mo opened his eyes and opened the door with a wave of his hand. Curiously, he asked,
Yes, Yurou?


Early morning tomorrow, you’ll to set off,
Nangong Yurou said from outside the door.
I’m here to bring you a message from my father.



Nangong Yurou entered the room, shut the door, and spoke,
Eight people are traveling in the trading fleet this time. From the Nangong Clan, you and my uncle, Nangong Wushang, the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion master will be the representatives.

Ye Mo nodded his head and listened on.
Nangong Wushang was the leader of the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion. He was naturally worthy of such an important task, being in charge of trade for the clan.
Nangong Yurou cleared her throat and kept speaking,
As for the Wenren Clan, I heard their young lady, Wenren Yixiang and their elder, Wenren Dashan will be the representatives. Dongfang Clan’s representatives will be the young master, Dongfang Xu, and their elder, Dongfang Hong. The Shangguan Clan’s elite guard won’t be someone from their clan. It’s someone called Li Tianqiong, a disciple of Human Dao Palace.


What did you just say?
Ye Mo cried out in astonishment.
Li Tianqiong?

How had Li Tianqiong become an elite guard of the Shangguan Clan?

Why?
Nangong Yurou asked.
Do you know him?


We’ve fought before,
Ye Mo answered with a frown.
It’s nothing important.

This time, Li Tianqiong had assumed the identity of the Shangguan Clan’s elite guard. His goal was most likely to kill Ye Mo. In the Door of Desolation, Li Tianqiong didn’t dare to touch Ye Mo, but in the Zone of Seals, if Ye Mo was to die, nobody would be able to find out anything. It was quite a sinister scheme.

Since that’s the case, you should rest well,
Nangong Yurou advised.
Take a break from cultivation today.



Nangong Yurou smiled gently and, while Ye Mo was in deep thought, she ambushed Ye Mo by planting a kiss on his lips before running away with a blush.

That girl…
Ye Mo rubbed his lips and shook his head.

Hong Ling, looks like this Li Tianqiong is planning something sinister. Isn’t it obvious he is trying to kill me?
Ye Mo started discussing with Hong Ling.

When you last met him, I saw that his aura had become stronger. It looks like he’s confident he can kill you. But you have nothing to fear. You have Xiao Jing with you,
Hong Ling said indifferently. With Xiao Jing, nobody below the Transcendence Realm could hope to kill Ye Mo. Xiao Jing was terrifyingly fast.

Xiao Jing?
Ye Mo willed in his heart and released Xiao Jing from the Xu Mi Ring. As usual, Xiao Jing was lying on the ground, snoring loudly.
Ye Mo approached Xiao Jing and woke him up. Ever since Xiao Jing’s evolution, he hadn’t gotten a chance to get a clear look at him.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
The moment Xiao Jing woke up, he started pulling at Ye Mo’s cloth and shook his head repeatedly. It confused Ye Mo greatly.

Xiao Jing, what are you trying to say?
Ye Mo asked while rubbing Xiao Jing’s head. Xiao Jing was able to understand his words, but Ye Mo couldn’t understand what Xiao Jing was trying to say.
Xiao Jing kept shaking his head with a terrified expression on his face. Ye Mo was astonished to see it. What could make Xiao Jing so afraid?



Ye Mo, I can understand him, a little,
Hong Ling said.
He’s begging you to not bring him to the Zone of Seals.

After hearing Hong Ling’s words, Ye Mo asked Xiao Jing,
You don’t want to go to the Zone of Seals?

Xiao Jing nodded his head repeatedly.

Perhaps there’s an expert Xiao Jing is afraid of at the Zone of Seals,
Hong Ling said.
He’s still not powerful enough. It’s better to not risk it by bringing him there. Just let him stay behind.

When Ye Mo heard that, he frowned and nodded. From how afraid Xiao Jing looked, there must be an expert in the Zone of Seals that he was truly terrified of.

We have no other choice,
Ye Mo said.
Even though dealing with Li Tianqiong will be troublesome without Xiao Jing, Li Tianqiong wouldn’t dare to make a move against me openly anyway. And, if I’m able to advance into the Transcendence Realm at the Zone of Seals, I’ll be able to kill him with a single pinch.
