Chapter 661: Strange Cultivator

After Ye Mo went inside, the temperature rose up drastically. He was shook. Inside the hidden formation there was a heating formation! No wonder it was so much colder at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Mo couldn't lay out either of the two formations. The reason he had come inside was to find an opportunity to get stronger; moreover, he also believed that the person living there wouldn't be strong.

Ye Mo was in a rocky tunnel that moment and it was very dry due to the heating formation. On the tunnel's ceiling, there was a luminous pearl every few meters.

He knew that these probably weren't luminous pearls, but some kind of radiant ore.

Ye Mo didn't continue venturing the mountain, he just scanned his spirit sense in. There were many stone rooms, and it didn't look messy. There were all sorts of food inside, including dried meet. The last stone house had a spirit sense blocking formation.

It was a cultivator's home indeed. Ye Mo was excited. He wondered if the person had come from somewhere else like him, or from Earth.

Since he was already there, he needed to meet this person. Furthermore, he knew it was too late to leave now. Entering the hidden formation meant that the person inside could see him.

But Ye Mo wasn't as nervous as before. There weren't any offensive or defensive formations in there.

From this, he could tell that the person wasn't a master. A master's cultivation home would definitely have defensive formations.

Ye Mo walked to the spirit sense blocked room and said, "I'm Ye Mo, I happened to walk by this place. Could I know this dao friend's name?"

After a long silence, a hoarse voice spoke, "Come in." It was Chinese.

Ye Mo locked his flying sword with his spirit sense and entered the room. There was a man sitting in the middle of the room with a huge sea lion next to him. It was long dead, but there was still blood in the man's mouth.

It was obvious that the man was injured because his chi wave was very unstable. It might have been caused by not cultivating properly. When Ye Mo checked the man's power, his heart sunk. He couldn't tell how powerful the man was. The only explanation was that the man was much stronger than him.

"Did you also walked in accidentally?" the man asked.

Ye Mo was dazed. Since this person was a cultivator and stronger than him, there's no way he wouldn't know that this place was a hidden formation. It seemed that he had also walked in there accidentally.

Was he testing him or something? Ye Mo looked confusedly at the man. Suddenly he realized that he might really not know that it was a hidden formation, because he might have never scanned his power with his spirit sense. Perhaps the man had come in there by accident, found a cultivation method and started cultivating there.

Thinking about this, Ye Mo could rest assured. He immediately nodded, "That's right. I came to Antarctica for a holiday and I accidentally walked in here. I didn't expect to find this."

"You're lying," the man suddenly looked at Ye Mo coldly, "You're definitely not here for a holiday."

Ye Mo was shook. Had he been testing him before? But after hearing this, Ye Mo understood at once that it was because he didn't have a backpack.

No matter whether the man had randomly found this place or had been taken there by his master, Ye Mo no longer wanted to know. Other than a few formations, he hadn't seen anything else.

There was no point staying there. He hadn't found anything that could help him in there. Instead, he had encountered someone stronger than him. Even though this person was injured, he didn't want to mess with him.

"My things are outside. I'm leaving, goodbye," Ye Mo immediately started retreating.

But just as Ye Mo moved, the man suddenly punched him. He couldn't even dodge it and was smashed into the wall. He spat out blood - his organs were burning.

'Is he at chi gathering tertiary stage?' Ye Mo was shook. He was only at chi gathering middle stage, while the man was almost at peak stage. It was just a step away from foundation establishment. Ye Mo suspected that the man didn't know how to reach foundation establishment, so that's why he had failed ascending.

Ye Mo's heart sunk. He had no way to get out alive against someone of this caliber.

Ye Mo covered his mouth and swallowed a lotus life pill.

"Mmmm- you didn't die?" the man said when he saw that Ye Mo was fine after just spitting some blood. He was dazed.

"You also cultivate ancient martial arts, are you at earth level?" the man asked.

Although the man's tone was calm, he was very shocked. Due to his injuries, his blood was running uncontrollably. Although he could finish up and kill Ye Mo, if he didn't calm his blood and chi down, he would suffer greatly - even if he killed this person. If it had been a week ago, he could have still killed Ye Mo. But now, his chi was attacking him more and more. He could barely go out to look for food.

Ye Mo had understood. The man really didn't understand cultivation, he didn't even know how to check power. Perhaps he didn't even have his own magic artefact or knew basic fireball arts. He was just fighting him with his chi.

Thinking about this, Ye Mo relaxed a bit, but said coldly, "It's none of your business you're too shameless. I've never met you, yet you try to kill me straight away. Is this the dao you cultivate?"

"En, of course I'm going to kill you. Do you think you can leave after finding out about this place? Keep dreaming. Moreover, I need your blood to cultivate, how could I let you go? But if you answer my questions, I can leave your body intact," the man said calmly while slowing down his chi.

Ye Mo was angry. But still, even if the man didn't know magic, his stage was far higher than his. Despite him being injured, Ye Mo might not be able to kill him with his flying sword. He could easily block it. Ye Mo only had one chance and he needed to use it well.

Ye Mo didn't understand how someone who didn't understand cultivation at all could reach chi gathering peak. Even with a good cultivation method and an absurd talent, he shouldn't be able to do that without spirit chi.

"Okay, I will answer your questions and give you a treasure map, but you need to answer a few of mine first," Ye Mo said.

The man sneered, "Since you're giving me new blood and you're an ancient martial artist, I can answer a few questions. Shoot."

"First of all, which cultivation method are you using? How is it this strong? Second, why are you drinking blood? Don't worry, I will still give you a treasure map," Ye Mo put emphasis on the treasure map.

The man looked coldly at Ye Mo and said, "Do you think I want a treasure map? Even if you give me all the things in the world, you wouldn't understand my purpose. As for what I'm cultivating, you wouldn't understand it even if you died. It's the dao of long life. Your ancient martial arts are just trash in front of mine. If I hadn't failed at achieving foundation establishment, I could have crushed you with one finger."

Ye Mo was shook. This guy had failed at reaching foundation establishment indeed. But at the same time, Ye Mo felt at ease. There really weren't many people who knew dao cultivation, this guy out of luck had found a cultivation method in that blessed land. He didn't even know what cultivation was, or any magic technique. Otherwise, he would be dead for sure.

Ye Mo asked again, "That means you're the only one cultivating this dao of long life?"

The man fell silent for a moment and then shook his head, "No, my Martial Brother and I found a book together. We memorized the content and cultivated together. But he attacked me for those pills, so I escaped the pocket real-"

Suddenly, the man seemed to remember something and said, "You don't need to know about that. Prepare to die."

Chapter 662: Do you know this

Seeing the man about to attack, Ye Mo was worried. He knew that even though his opponent didn't know any magic, nor did he have a magic artefact, Ye Mo still wouldn't be able to beat him. The difference was too great.

Thankfully, he paused after one punch. If he hadn't, Ye Mo would have been heavily injured if not dead. Ye Mo didn't know that the guy couldn't attack too many times.

"Slow down, see if this is a treasure or not." Ye Mo gave his flying sword to the man. He knew that if he shot it at him, the man would be able to grab it before it even damaged him.

"Hmph." The man grabbed the flying sword, and it gave him a very strange feeling.

What sword was this? He had seen a couple of the top ten legendary swords of China but never something like this. He tried piercing the ground with it, and it sliced at the ground like it was cutting tofu.

"Good sword!" He could feel that this sword was different. He sent some of his chi into the flying sword, and the flying sword hummed.

The man's face changed, and he got up excitedly. This thing seemed to be made just for him!

"This is a top grade magic artefact, where did you get it?" the man suddenly asked.

When Ye Mo gave the flying sword to the man, he was very anxious. If this man could figure out that it was his flying sword and wiped his spirit sense off it, Ye Mo would be a goat waiting to be slaughtered.

But it was a calculated gamble. He was betting on the man not knowing of the flying swords in the cultivation realm.

It seemed he had gambled right. At least the guy hadn't wiped his spirit sense mark off it. That meant that he didn't know how to control weapons of the cultivation realm.

Ye Mo relaxed internally and said, "This treasure map points towards that place. It's a pity that I could only enter the outskirts and couldn't properly go inside, so I only got this sword."

Hearing this, the man's eyes started gleaming. Ye Mo knew that he was interested. There was no way he wouldn't be.

"Give me that treasure map, and I will let you live," the man demanded coldly.

Ye Mo said, "Of course I can give it to you, but you should trade something for it. How about you give me the location of where you got your things."

"Okay," the man replied, "I got everything from Xing Jia Mountain. My martial brother and I at the time-"

Before he finished, he suddenly pierced at Ye Mo with the sword. He thought that since the treasure map had to be on Ye Mo, if he killed Ye Mo he would easily get it.

Ye Mo didn't expect the guy to attack him without telling him anything, but luckily he was using his flying sword, so Ye Mo had sensed the attack through his flying sword and immediately evaded it.

Before the man could understand how Ye Mo managed to do that, the flying sword suddenly slipped out of his hand and sliced at his throat.

The man covered his throat in shock, staring at the flying sword as it flew behind Ye Mo. He couldn't say anything.

Ye Mo knew he was too lucky. The man had actually attacked him with his own flying sword. If he had used his fists again, Ye Mo wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

"This is a flying sword artefact of the cultivation realm. You dare spout that you cultivate the Dao of Longevity with that petty knowledge of yours?" Ye Mo sneered. Suddenly, a fireball amassed into his hand, "Do you know about this?"

The man's eyes were full of shock, confusion and realization, but all he could do was gurgle before dying.

Ye Mo wiped his sweat. He was too lucky today, but it was a pity that the man didn't tell him more about that Xing Jia Mountain. Ye Mo was sure that he and his martial brother had found a cultivation ruin.

Just when Ye Mo thought this guy had nothing of value on him and was about to burn him away with a fireball, he found that the platform the man had been sitting on was hollow.

Ye Mo grabbed it and ripped it apart, revealing a card and two books. There were a few jade bottles too, but those were all empty. Ye Mo opened one and smelled it, and his face changed immediately - it was the smell of the great chi increasing pill.

No wonder this guy could reach the peak of chi gathering! He had consumed so many of the pills, while the great chi increasing pill was a pill foundation establishment state cultivators used. Ye Mo put down the bottle thinking it was a pity and looked at the two books.

There were two books, one of which was the Black Ice Chant. Ye Mo opened it, and it was a dao cultivation method that was indeed suited for people with a water spirit root. This guy must've had a water spirit root. It wasn't of much use to Ye Mo, but it was the first real dao cultivation method he had seen on Earth.

Ye Mo looked at the second book, which was titled Taiyi True Understanding. This was a peak level ancient martial arts cultivation method, but Ye Mo wasn't interested. Ye Mo wondered if it was related to the Taiyi Sect.

Ye Mo then looked at the card. It had the words 'Taiyi', and was signed 'Elder'. So this guy was a Taiyi Sect Elder.

So this meant that the Taiyi True Understanding was the Taiyi Sect's cultivation method. Ye Mo immediately felt interested. He was going to get revenge on the Taiyi Sect sooner or later, and he knew that there were quite a lot of masters there, even great heaven masters. Hence, he wouldn't let this cultivation method go unstudied for sure.

Ye Mo started reading it and remembered some of the moves and secret techniques. When Ye Mo flipped to the last page, he saw a diagram.

"Seven Star Formation?" Ye Mo felt like he had already had enough surprises, but now there was one more surprising thing.

The diagram was a bit old, but it clearly showed how to come in and out of the formation. Other than the loosening of the gates every few decades, it also mentioned some other special means to go in and out.

Ye Mo was sure that the reason why the guy had been able to go in and out was because he had this diagram. This meant that that Xing Jia Mountain had to be in the inner world as well.

Other than waiting for decades, there were two ways of getting in. One was to find chi stones, seven of them. Ye Mo ignored this method, because if he had that many spirit stones, he would just use them to reach the tertiary stage of stage five.

The second way was to find someone with a wisdom root and have that person's blood be absorbed by the Tian Kou position of the formation, after which you can enter the formation.

Ye Mo finally understood. So the wisdom root was the spirit root that was needed. That nun, Jie Xun, had tried to use this method last time, but she had only found Wei Yongqian and failed. Either his spirit root was inadequate or something else went wrong.

But Ye Mo couldn't use either of the methods. He had no spirit stones, and he wouldn't allow innocent people to be sucked dry either.

Helplessly, Ye Mo burned the man to ashes and looked around the other rooms. After he was certain there was nothing else he could take, he walked out of the place.

Just when Ye Mo was about to leave on his flying sword, he seemingly heard some screams in the distance.

Chapter 663: Big Explosion

Translator: Timothy_  Editor: GlobeGlotter

Ye Mo thought he had heard wrong at first, but when he heard it for the second time, he knew he was right. There really was someone screaming. Ye Mo flew into the sky and he saw in the distance a tornado forming a swirl like blizzard.

The snow from the peak of the mountain was falling like a waterfall. A few people in red and blue were running around and screaming. Luckily, there still was some distance between them and the tornado, and they hadn't gotten blown away.

Ye Mo was speechless. He didn't know why these people were there but it's not like him could leave them to die.

Just when he was going to save them, the tornado disappeared and the avalanche stopped.

Although they were fine now, Ye Mo still decided to land and walk to them.

Once he was near them, he saw that they were six people: three guys and three women.

Two blue tents were stationed a little further away. They stared at Ye Mo approaching them. They looked strangely at that young man that didn't carry anything and came to them carelessly.

"Are you guys alright?" Ye Mo casually asked. He saw that their things and the tent had the words 'Beijing University'.

What shocked them even more was that even though they were all wearing thick clothes, this young man only had a thin layer of clothes on him. He could still talk and casually ask if they were alright.

After a moment, a round-faced girl said, "We're fine now. Do you need help?"

Ye Mo realized that they thought he needed help since he had come over empty-handed. Ye Mo laughed, "Since you're all fine, I'll leave. Goodbye."

"Wait." The prettiest girl stopped Ye Mo and took out a jacket from the tent, "Did you lose your jacket? It's minus 20 degrees here. You will freeze to death if you wear just that."

Ye Mo realized that it was his clothes that shocked them. He quickly waved his hand, "It's fine. I've been training my body so I don't mind the cold. I just heard people calling for help, so I came over."

It was truly cold, but because it was so cold, the chi in his body would run meridian cycles by itself. This benefitted his cultivation.

"Oh right, it was Yi He who called. What happened Yi He?"

The round-faced girl's words brought their attention to a girl who was vomiting on the side. One of the guys was carefully patting her back.

"Dead people. I saw a lot of dead people, so many-," she cried as she said. Her eyes were full of horror.

Ye Mo heard this and his expression changed. He immediately scanned his spirit sense out but it was already outside of his range. He wanted to fly over, but he realized he shouldn't do it in front of them.

"What dead people? Yi He be more specific," a tall well-built man asked.

At this moment, the man patting Yi He said, "Don't worry, talk slowly. There's a lot of people here."

Yi He drank some water and then took her time to calm down. She cleared her thoughts and said, "Halfway up the mountain, I used the telescope to look into the distance and I saw a huge ditch. Inside it was full of dead people! Sob- sob-"

Yi He pointed into the distance. There really seemed to be a huge snow ditch there, but one couldn't see clearly at the foot of the mountain.

"That's impossible, you can see from so far away?" the tall guy frowned.

Yi He grabbed the man next to her and said, "It's true! I saw it! I really did. There were many people laying on top of each other. They must have been dead."

"I'll go have a look," the tall man said and picked up a telescope.

"Chen Guang, don't go there. What if-" the round-faced girl saw that the tall guy was going to go and quickly stopped him.

Ye Mo felt something wasn't right. How could there be that many dead people there? He thought of the submarine he had annihilated. Was their base there?

Thinking about this, Ye Mo said to them, "Wait here, I will go have a look."

Ye Mo explained again seeing their worried and confused looks, "I'm a mountain climber so I'll be fine. I will tell you the situation after I come back."

"Zhi Qi, that man says he's a mountain climber, but he's wearing few clothes and he doesn't have any tools. Is he for real? How can he stay here for this long with such few clothing and still be fine? Would he be-" the round-faced girl said.

Although the sun was still up, her words still made everyone shiver. It was too abnormal for such a person to appear in Antarctica.

"Let's pack our things and contact the tourist group. We can't act alone anymore," the tall man seemed to agree.

Zhi Qi shook her head and said, "Probably not. I've heard my grandpa say that there's a group of people who cultivate ancient martial arts in China. They have powers. Perhaps that man cultivates ancient martial arts. If he is, it's normal that he can resist the cold."

"Are ancient martial arts that strong?" the guy next to Yi He asked.

The weak guy who hadn't been talking said, "It is, ancient martial arts are much stronger than this."

"Dongfang Wang, how do you know? Have you seen this online as well?" the guy next to Yi He asked.

The feeble guy didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Ye Mo and frowned.

Seeing this, no one kept talking and they just stared at Ye Mo from the distance.

Ye Mo could move a lot faster after he left them behind. He only took half an hour to get to the place Yi He had mentioned. Even without scanning his spirit sense down, he could see what was inside. Although the ditch was very deep, the sunlight brightened the inside. There were at least tens of bodies.

Yi He was right. This place was an actual body ditch.

Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense in. He found that many of these bodies had been experimented with. He immediately figured out that Northern Sand had a base there indeed. However, it probably wasn't their HQ. Still, he had to find the base.

Just when Ye Mo was about to spread out his spirit sense and look for Northern Sand's base, he felt watched. He suddenly turned around and caught a sniper rifle bullet. At the same time, he disappeared from where he was.

When he got to the sniper, he was dead.

Ye Mo sneered. The submarine incident must have been leaked. Due to that cultivation home, he had wasted a night. Perhaps these people were planning their retreat now.

Ye Mo searched the place inch by inch with his spirit sense again. Not long after that, he found a place that was different. It was a ditch with accumulated snow. But before he could go inside to search, he strongly sensed danger under his feet. Without thinking, Ye Mo rose into the sky.

Rumble- As soon as Ye Mo took off, there was a huge explosion below him. It was as though the mountain had been tipped upside down.

Under Ye Mo's spirit sense, all those testing platforms, laboratories and machines were instantly blown to pieces.

Ye Mo's expression looked bad. These people were decisive indeed. Even the mountain was being blown apart.

He had found Northern Sand's base, but the result was the same as not finding it. He even believed that Luo Yue's main enemy in the future wasn't going to be the US, but North Sand, its hidden enemy.

Ye Mo didn't understand why these people wouldn't let him enter the laboratory and then blow it up together with him. The only explanation was that they feared him a lot. They feared letting him in, taking the things, and then the bomb not being able to kill him.

Chapter 664: Meeting Dongfang Again

Translator: Timothy_  Editor: GlobeGlotter

Hearing the thunderous explosion, those Beijing University students gazed in shock as snow flew into the sky. They could only see a big white patch of mist.

The place Yi He had pointed at was now completely covered by an avalanche. Would that young guy still be able to live?

"That wasn't just an avalanche, it seems like there was some TNT buried there, "Dongfang Wang said after a while.

An Zhiqi fell into silence and said after a long while, "After such a huge explosion and an avalanche, I don't know if he-"

Everyone knew that she meant that the guy might not be alive anymore.

"Huh, he seems fine. Look, he's walking over," that round-faced girl Fu Li said.

"How is that possible? He survived that explosion, is he a god or something?" the man next to Yi He sighed.

Ye Mo walked up to them and smiled, "I'm no god, I had already left the mountain when the explosion happened. The avalanche is quite big, though, so I think you guys should leave."

Then, Ye Mo paused and said, "There's quite a lot of good places in China anyway, why come all the way to Antarctica? Well then, I'll be leaving, goodbye!"

"Wait, big brother, I haven't asked for your name. I'm An Zhiqi. The short one there is called Xiao Dong, and the girl next to him is Yi He. That tall guy is called Chen Guang, and Fu Li is next to him. That skinnier guy is called Dongfang Wang. We're all students of Beijing University. This is Chen Guang's second time in Antarctica, by the way," An Zhiqi introduced.

"Dongfang Wang?" Ye Mo thought for a bit. Hearing this name, he immediately thought of Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Tang.

Dongfang Xi didn't really look like Dongfang Tang, but this Dongfang Wang actually looked like both Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Tang. Through this, Ye Mo could immediately see that the three were related.

They must be the three brothers of the Dongfang family.

"Why are you going quiet?" seeing Ye Mo's silence, An Zhiqi subconsciously asked.

Ye Mo smiled, "I'm Mo Ying. By the way. Dongfang Wang, have we met somewhere before? You seem familiar."

The students saw Ye Mo ignore the pretty girl An Zhiqi to talk to Dongfang Wang and looked at him strangely. Even An Zhiqi raised her mouth in unsatisfaction.

Seeing Dongfang Wang look at him in shock, Ye Mo knew he was being too abrupt. He immediately said, "Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I have seen someone who looks like you."

Dongfang Wang scanned Ye Mo and said expressionlessly, "You are right, but since you know them, you must be no simple person. One of them is called Dongfang Xi and the other is called Dongfang Tang. You might've seen one of them or maybe even both."

Ye Mo thought, 'That's the case indeed.' Dongfang Xi and him had great enmity, though, and even though he had already killed that guy, he still felt like Dongfang Xi had gotten off easy.

Should he kill this Dongfang Wang? He had no reason to let someone from the Dongfang family go. Last time, that Dongfang Tang tricked him and ran away. The first thing he would do when he had the opportunity was to deal with that Dongfang Tang. But Ye Mo thought that he should let this Dongfang Wang go. At least he never did anything bad to him, so it didn't seem appropriate to kill him.

Thinking about this, Ye Mo suddenly asked, "Dongfang Wang, those two are your brothers, right? They aren't simple people, do you know what they do?"

Dongfang Wang sneered, "I never thought of them as my brothers. My surname is just Dongfang, and I have nothing to do with the Dongfang family, so don't drag me in with them. I am me, and they are them."

His tone was truly cold.

Ye Mo thought, 'Were these brothers fighting or is something else up?' Although Ye Mo knew he had no reason to kill Dongfang Wang, he still didn't feel comfortable. Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Tang were his enemies, who knew if this Dongfang Wang wouldn't become one?

Dongfang Wang looked at Ye Mo and suddenly said, "I know that you must be someone capable to be able to appear in Antarctica like this. But I would like to say that if you kill me because of Dongfang Tang and Dongfang Xi, I really won't have died a proper death."

An Zhiqi looked at Ye Mo and Dongfang Wang. Why was their conversation this weird? Why did it involve killing? Were they not on Earth anymore?

Ye Mo realized that this Dongfang Wang had noticed his killing intent.

But he smiled and didn't say anything else. He felt like this Dongfang Wang was too smart. Other than sensing his killing intent, he had comprehended from his casual words that he had enmity with his brothers. The people from the Dongfang family were really smart. Were everyone of them like this?

Seeing Ye Mo's silence, Dongfang Wang suddenly said, "We share the same father but not the same mother. After my father died, my mother and I were kicked out of the Dongfang family. I'm no longer a part of the Dongfang family. Your enmity with them has nothing to do with me. I only have one kin which is my mother. But I can tell you one thing - the ancestor of the Dongfang family is from Xi Tang, and the ultimate dream of the Dongfang family is to go back to Xi Tang. Nonetheless, that has nothing to do with me."

Ye Mo no longer had the intent to kill Dongfang Wang after talking to him. Dongfang Wang hadn't shown any intentions of wanting to do anything to Ye Mo yet, but even if he did, Ye Mo wouldn't be afraid. If he killed Dongfang Wang now, it would show that he was scared. That wasn't good for his dao heart. But at the same time Dongfang Wang had already tested him, so he could kill him.

Dongfang Wang's words were strange, though. Ye Mo had been to most places in China but had never heard of Xi Tang.

"Sigh, I don't understand anything you guys are saying. Let's just leave this place first, the tour group has sent us a message," Fu Li saw that the atmosphere was tense and said something to ease the tension.

Ye Mo looked at them and smiled. He was going to leave.

Soon, Ye Mo's figure disappeared from the glacier.

Ye Mo then called Xu Yuehua and made her investigate Dongfang Tang. He really wanted to know what Dongfang Tang had been up to. He felt like the things that were happening in Luo Yue were very strange this time.

It was a series of things, just like when Dongfang Xi was scheming against him. There were plots inside of plots.
