After hearing Ye Mo’s words, this slim middle-aged man immediately stared at Ye Mo in amazement and said, “You are really smart and perceptive, to think that I am here to guard the same thing.”
Although his guess was correct, Ye Mo still asked with some confusion, “You know that I killed those Sand Soul Beasts, but what are you doing here guarding things and raising those Sand Soul Beasts? Could it be that you will not ascend to the Immortal Realm after completing your mission in the future and still want to dominate the Luo Yue Continent?”
The middle-aged man seemed to know that Ye Mo couldn’t escape from his hands and said after just a moment of silence, “I didn’t breed those Sand Soul Beasts and Evil Spirits, my mission is just to stay here and guard the stone platform, everything else has nothing to do with me.”
Ye Mo also knew that those Sand Soul Beasts should not have been raised by this cultivator in front of him, if he had raised them, when he was frantically killing and destroying Sand Soul Beasts before, even if this person was unable to leave, he would not have let those Sand Soul Beasts foolishly send them to their death.
“You think you need that many Sand Soul Beasts to dominate the Luo Yue Continent?” Seeing that Ye Mo seemed to start pondering, the man added with a cold smile.
This was a point Ye Mo agreed with, so many Sand Soul Beasts would do more than dominate the Luo Yue Continent? Once those Sand Soul Beasts broke out of the Demon Prison Forbidden Land, even if they turned the Luo Yue Continent upside down several times, it would be enough.
Destroying all the cultivators in the Luo Yue Continent? Ye Mo was startled by his crazy idea, and then he knew that his idea was definitely not unwarranted, nor was it impossible. Once so many Sand Soul Beasts came out of the Forbidden Land, would the cultivators of the Luo Yue Continent not be killed off?
Thinking about this, Ye Mo’s mind suddenly became clear. A great power from the Immortal Realm had sealed a Chaos Supreme Treasure here, as to why he didn’t bring it to the Immortal Realm? Ye Mo reckoned that it should be because he was afraid of people knowing about it.
And this heartless great power also knew that once this Chaos Supreme Treasure was leaked, everyone would go crazy and grab it. So he sealed this thing in the Cultivation Realm, and then sealed the ascension pa*sage as well, just in case the Chaos Breath was revealed. As for those Sand Soul Beasts, it was estimated that they were really strangling the cultivators of the entire Luo Yue Continent.
After all, once that spatial seal disappeared, the cultivators of the Luo Yue Continent would ascend to the Immortal Realm. Then it would take them to the fact that the Luo Yue Continent had been unable to ascend before to go. There was a good chance that someone from the Immortal Realm would then come down to check it out. In the end, they might check into this Chaos Supreme Treasure.
So after this great power took the item away, he would also have to exterminate the entire Luo Yue Continent. Ye Mo was shocked by his crazy idea, it was a little too outrageous and completely impossible.
“You have ruined part of the lord’s plan, stay and help the lord with the rest, or you can still save a life.” The middle-aged man continued.
Ye Mo sneered, allowing himself to stay and help seal it. Letting the cultivators of the Luo Yue Continent never be able to fly, this was simply a dream.
“The cultivators here can’t ascend should be the work of the person behind you, right? You asked me to reseal those seal flags didn’t you? Those Sand Soul Beasts are trying to exterminate the cultivators of the entire Luo Yue Continent aren’t they?” The more Ye Mo thought about it, the more likely it was that the Sand Soul Beasts were inside this Devil’s Prison Forbidden Land, and if the Tongmu River really led to the Eastern Xuan Continent and the Northern Watch Continent. That meant that the Sand Soul Beast inside the Devil’s Prison Forbidden Land could quickly travel to all four continents at the same time and exterminate the cultivators of all four continents at the same time.
The middle-aged male cultivator looked at Ye Mo in amazement and said: ”No wonder you were able to cultivate to the seventh level of Transformation Truth at such a young age, you are so much smarter than ordinary people. But what I want to tell you is this. My lord did not do this, the seal flag my lord set up only prevented the cultivators of the Luo Yue Continent from feeling the call to ascend. If you destroy the seal flag, the cultivator will be able to feel the summoning message of ascension.”
Seeing that Ye Mo seemed a bit skeptical, the middle-aged male cultivator said again, “Besides, the cultivation realm that cannot ascend is not the only one in the Luo Yue Continent, several surrounding cultivation realms are just as unable to ascend.”
Ye Mo thought of the cultivators from the Fang Billion Clan and Black Stone City, who did not come from the Luo Yue Continent, and it seemed that they were also unable to ascend.
“Then since it’s not a seal flag that seals ascension. Why is it that after I broke the seal flag. Then someone can ascend?” Ye Mo asked in a cold voice. He was absolutely not convinced that those seal flags were just sealing the ascension summons, he was a rank nine formation master. It was already clear and unmistakable that those seal flags were stopping cultivators from ascending.
The middle-aged male cultivator also frowned for a moment before saying, “It should be that the channel of ascension happened to have been opened by someone else, and you broke the seal flags to let the cultivator feel the ascension, that’s all.”
It seemed that this middle-aged male cultivator hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long time, and he was surprisingly patient when Ye Mo asked questions.
Only when all these questions were explained did this slim middle-aged male cultivator say in a deep voice, “I’ve said everything I should let you know, now you open your divine soul and let me make an imprint. Then you follow my instructions and go and seal those seal flags in. I think that as long as you can do that, the lord will let you go.”
Ye Mo looked at the slim male cultivator with a pitiful look and said, “To be honest, I am not afraid of you. The reason why I am saying these words to you is that I really just feel sorry for you. I am sure to tell you that those seal flags are not just summoning messages that seal ascension, but also seal flags that stop cultivators from ascending believe it or not. Your lord can stop the ascension of cultivators in the Luo Yue Continent at all costs, even using killing all the cultivators in the Luo Yao Continent to stop the leakage of this thing, you think he will let you go in the future? You are simply naive like a fool.”
Ye Mo’s words were heartfelt, this Chaos Treasure was so precious that the great power behind this middle-aged cultivator even planned to exterminate the entire Luo Yue Continent in order to prevent people from the Immortal Realm from knowing about it. When the time came, after he obtained this item, would he let this middle-aged man in front of him go? It would be strange to let go of that. A person with such a ruthless heart would never be believed by Ye Mo if he didn’t kill and exterminate him.
After hearing Ye Mo’s words, this slim middle-aged male cultivator froze, and after a while, he muttered, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. He swore an oath to me, cultivators definitely don’t swear casually.”
“He swore?” Ye Mo was also a bit puzzled, a cultivator swearing wasn’t something that was just said, unless it was a cultivator who was against the odds to the extreme. Normal cultivators who swore would create heart demons if they didn’t abide by it, if that person behind this cultivator in front of him really swore, then there was really a possibility that he wouldn’t kill this watchman cultivator.
Seeing Ye Mo frozen, this slim middle-aged male cultivator suddenly snorted coldly and said, “You just tried to deliberately provoke me to betray the lord.”
Ye Mo sneered and said, “I am free to provoke you, don’t take yourself so seriously.”
The middle-aged male cultivator suddenly raised his hand and grabbed at Ye Mo. “Since you are not willing to open your divine soul. Then let me forcefully brand it.”
The middle-aged cultivator was clearly just reaching out casually, but Ye Mo felt all the space around him squeezing towards him. It made him breathless, and he even had nowhere to retreat.
This was not a domain, Ye Mo’s heart and soul was greatly alarmed, what this cultivator drove with a wave of his hand was not spatial bondage, but heaven and earth Yuan Qi, a Void Immortal cultivator so powerful?
Ye Mo didn’t have time to think about it. The ‘Purple Sandal’ had already split out, the ‘Illusory Cloud Huashan Blade’ that was executed at full power.
“Boom!”
There was a dull loud sound, and the surrounding space stirred up and even became unstable amidst this clash of swords and palms. Some of the shattered purple mansard blade qi even cut a black crack.
As soon as Ye Mo’s Huashan Blade struck this hand shadow, he felt a powerful force crashing in. He tried very hard to steady himself, but he was still cleaved backwards and flew out, directly hitting the Grade 9 Water Purging Formation.
With a surge in his dantian, Ye Mo forced himself to stabilise himself and almost spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood. The next moment, Ye Mo immediately flew up, knowing that he was no match for the man in front of him.
However, Ye Mo immediately felt a strong pressure coming from him, and he was actually sealed inside this space as well. This Water Purging Formation was still set up by him. Yet he couldn’t get out. Ye Mo had already understood. He was already under the other party’s control when he entered the Tongmu River. No wonder he wasn’t afraid of his escape.
It was that Water Dissipation Formation that he had deliberately allowed himself to set up, otherwise he would not have been able to set up the formation here. Ye Mo knew that a Void Immortal was definitely a great grade higher than a True Transformation cultivator, but he didn’t expect the gap to be so great.
There was no way to escape, so Ye Mo simply fell down. Even if he fought to the death, he wouldn’t necessarily lose to this guy. It was good that he was a Void Immortal, but he also had too many tricks that he hadn’t unleashed.
At this moment, however, this Void Immortal was even more shocked than Ye Mo, he knew that Ye Mo was powerful, otherwise he wouldn’t have killed and destroyed hundreds of millions of Sand Soul Beasts. Moreover, he knew that the chopper in Ye Mo’s hand was extraordinary, but he could not imagine that the other party would be able to injure him.
He was staring at his bloody hand and seemed to have forgotten to use his energy to stop the bleeding. After being struck by Ye Mo, he surprisingly felt a lot more awake. At the bottom of this Tongxian River, he had stayed for countless years, unable to cultivate and could only sit in a daze, which was why he had not killed Ye Mo.
The last thing he wanted to think about was the reason for staying here, as the thought of it made him feel annoyed.
When Ye Mo saw that this Void God cultivator was only looking at his injured palm and didn’t seem to have any intention of continuing to fight, he simply stopped as well. There was no way to escape here, he would have to fight this Void Immortal sooner or later, and he was also thinking about what method he should use to kill this Void Immortal.
This injured Void Immortal cultivator suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Mo and said, “Do you know my cultivation level?”
“Yes, you are a Void Immortal cultivator.” Ye Mo didn’t understand why this guy didn’t continue to strike, but instead asked such an irrelevant question.
The slim middle-aged cultivator nodded and said, “That’s right, I am a Void Immortal cultivator, but I am not an ordinary Void Immortal cultivator. I have rarely met an opponent in the same cla*s, and you were able to injure me with a single slash, which means that with your cultivation, even an ordinary Void Immortal can be killed. So, I know there is no need for you to provoke me.”
After a pause, he said again, “At that time, the lord said to me, ‘If Bing Shen can keep his promise and stay in the Cultivation World for 12,000 years to guard everything on the Stone Terrace of the Tongmu River, I, Lu Zhengqun, will never harm Bing Shen by half, if I violate this oath, I, Lu Zhengqun, will be punished by Heaven and my soul will be destroyed under the thunder tribulation, and I will never be able to turn back. ‘”
After saying that he stared at Ye Mo and asked, “Do you think there is something wrong with this oath?”
