Chapter 738: Three Gives Birth To All
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
"I'm Meng Zhan, I had the three golden pages of fortune. Yet even with my talent, I couldn't cultivate the innate cultivation method inside the pages, the Three Birth Chant. This cultivation method requires a full spirit root to cultivate it, what kind of logic is this? A full spirit root cultivator is a useless cultivator. How can this natural cultivation method be meant for a useless spirit root cultivator?
I forcefully tried cultivating the Three Birth Chant and it destroyed my body. I won't give up, I will used the remaining power I have and write the Primordial Fortune Chant on the golden page world. I believe my Primordial Fortune Chant is the number one cultivation method, so what if they say it's the Three Birth Chant? Pity I can't cultivate it!
These three pages were created by the Earth. I died and these three pages will hide themselves in it. The fortunate one to get these three pages can cultivate my Primordial Fortune Chant. If you do, you must not cultivate the Three Birth Chant. Instead, you can give it to someone who has a full spirit root.
When the right time comes, fight that person."
Ye Mo threw the jade slip away and said in contempt, "This old man is talking bullsh*t! I am a full spirit root! Will I go challenge Xiaoyun after I learn the Three Birth Chant and let her beat me to prove that your cultivation method is stronger? Keep dreaming old guy! Even if Xiaoyun wasn't my wife, I don't think your cultivation method can be more powerful than a cultivation method born from the Earth."
But his undying will was deserving of respect.
Were there actual naturally created cultivation methods? How powerful would such cultivation method be? But where was it? How come he didn't see it?
If it was as the old guy had said, that the Three Birth Chant was best for full-spirit root cultivators, then wouldn't he fit the criteria perfectly?
Ye Mo looked around and saw nothing but the stone tablet. Ye Mo thought and placed his hand on it.
Buzz- Information immediately got into Ye Mo's head.
"From chaos, One was born. One gave birth to Two, Two gave birth to Three, Three gave birth to All." No wonder the three golden pages were hidden in the Dao De Sutra - the Dao De Sutra talked about this.
After some time, Ye Mo woke up. So that was it, the Three Birth Chant meant that Three had given birth to All. From the information he had received, Ye Mo knew that he could only leave that world after reaching chi gathering tertiary stage. But it would be hard to come back in again, and it would have to be after foundation establishment.
That meant he could only come in and out as he pleased once he reached foundation establishment state. The thing Ye Mo wasn't happy about was that he only had the fore part of the Three Birth Chant, not the latter part.
No matter what, with a way to get out, Ye Mo started cultivating. Ye Mo hadn't wanted to change his cultivation method before, but now he had to.
He started cultivating the Three Birth Chant.
When he first started, he found out that he could indeed cultivate it without any kind of obstruction.
As the Three Birth Chant said, all things can be created or absorbed. Ye Mo was already stage six when he started cultivating, so he realized that he could convert his stage six power to cultivation resource and cultivate to stage 4 chi gathering using the Three Birth Chant.
Ye Mo rejoiced. He hadn't cultivated much, yet he was already at chi gathering middle stage. Ye Mo had realized that the spirit chi in there seemed to be the same as outside, so he had to use pills to ascend faster.
Luckily, he had countless herbs at that moment.
Ye Mo took them all out and started making pills. As the herbs decreased, his pills increased.
When he finished making a full set of Huang Ming Pill, Ye Mo suddenly woke up. Since when could he make full sets of pills? Moreover, the pills' quality was top grade. Ye Mo then realized that the pill concocting method he was using was completely different to what he had learned. He had just so happened to use a different method.
Ye Mo stopped in shock. He knew how hard it was to make pills. He had studied in Luo Yue for years, yet he had just been a normal apprentice. However, the means he was using weren't of an apprentice, they were at a master level.
What was going on?
When Ye Mo made another cauldron of chi increasing pill, he finally understood. He did have a new system of concocting pills.
When he picked up a herb, the attributes of the herb appeared in his mind. Moreover,he could tell when to put them in and all of their innate abilities.
"The Three Birth Chant," Ye Mo murmured. He at last had comprehended what the Three Birth Chant was.
'Three gives birth to All' did not only mean that his cultivation method would develop its special techniques, but that it would also apply to other things. He could develop his own unique concocting method. Based on this, it could be foreseen that it would happen to formation.
"Hahaha!" Ye Mo laughed. Meng Qian truly wasn't humble at all. If he had known that the Three Birth Chant was this powerful, he would have never said that the Primordial Fortune Chant was the number one cultivation method.
That insolent old hag was fearless. Ye Mo sighed. He was sure that Meng Zhan was a very powerful person, yet very ignorant.
Only those who cultivated the Three Birth Chant could know that if 100 people cultivated it, 100 different cultivation methods would come from it. The Three Birth Chant wasn't something static, it developed based on the individual's characteristics and talent.
Knowing this, Ye Mo got excited. Although it required more resources to cultivate than the Primordial Chaos Chant, Ye Mo was sure that he could reach a much higher state with it - even ascension into the immortal realm.
Also, Wu Wen Mountain had a spirit herb garden. Although he hadn't gotten to it, he would return for sure. When he reached foundation establishment state, he would go there. By then, he should be able to go in and out of his golden page world as he pleased.
With this mindset, Ye Mo kept cultivating and making pills everyday.
He didn't know how long it had been. He had eaten all the food in his ring, so he could only eat food pills to fill his stomach and cultivate.
Although Ye Mo had gathered a lot of herbs, having developed a new concocting method meant that he made them all into pills - even the ten cauldrons of big essence increasing pills.
The normal essence increasing pills became completely useless when Ye Mo reached stage six again.
Ye Mo couldn't help to sigh. The Three Birth Chant was really a resource-consuming cultivation method.
But luckily, after wasting 80% of his pills, he finally reached stage six again.
However, Ye Mo got very worried then. He didn't know how long he had been in the world. Moreover, he was worried that Mu Xiaoyun would go out to find him. He was also concerned that Luo Ying and Ning Qingxue would worry about him. He hadn't expect to spend so much time in there.
There were two essence increasing pills made with earth spirit fruit and five great essence increasing pills in front of him.
He had to reach chi gathering tertiary as fast as he could and leave that world. He had to get back to Ice Lake.
Chapter 739: Passed Away
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Casting his random thoughts aside, Ye Mo took two essence increasing pills in one go. Strong spiritual power started rampaging in his meridians, and as Ye Mo digested the power, it kept charging at the barrier that stopped him from reaching stage seven.
With the strong digestive power of the Three Birth Chant, Ye Mo felt that the spirit power was soon gone, and yet he was still far from breaking through to stage seven.
Ye Mo clenched his teeth and ate 5 great essence increasing pills all in one go. Spirit chi immediately started burning in his meridian and dantian.
The explosive power of eating those pills together was rather horrifying for a chi gathering cultivator. Ye Mo was probably the first stage six cultivator in history to dare do that at stage six.
But with the absurd power of the Three Birth Chant, no matter how many spirit chi there was, as long as it didn't burst open his dantian and merdians immediately, it would be digested.
Ye Mo knew he shouldn't be doing something like that as a cultivator, but he didn't regret it. He was more worried than anyone else staying in there any longer.
Luckily, the Three Birth Chant didn't disappoint him.
Crack- Ye Mo could hear the sound of a barrier cracking. The chi that was stuck inside his body found the crack in the barrier and rampaged through it. Ye Mo felt the chi in his body get stronger and stronger.
Ye Mo rejoiced. Although it had been a desperate move, he finally reached stage seven.
Ye Mo stabilised his power and got up.
He stretched his hand and an extremely bright fireball appeared in it. It was more than a few times stronger than before. Ye Mo breathed a sigh of content at his power being so much stronger than before.
He might be only at stage seven, but Ye Mo felt that he wouldn't have to fear even a peak stage chi gathering cultivator.
He thought about those three people whose power he couldn't see through in Hang Shui City. Ye Mo should be fine fighting the three now.
He had to consider things like this, because he wanted to get revenge on the Taiyi Sect.
"Exit!!" Ye Mo howled as he didn't want to stay there for a second longer.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he left that dull grey world.
Finally, he was out! Ye Mo felt like crying. How long had he been locked up for?
Not good! Ye Mo suddenly remembered the Jia Lan Flower. It hadn't lost its potency in the golden page world, but that didn't mean that it would be the same in the outside world.
Ye Mo quickly took it out and put it in a jade box to preserve it. However, he knew that half a month later, it would still lose some of its potency nonetheless.
It would be a waste to make a foundation establishment pill out of it now.
Ye Mo thought regretfully, 'If only I'd left it in the golden page world!'
Thinking about this, Ye Mo tried to go in the world again, but indeed he couldn't anymore. But when he suddenly tried moving the flower with his spirit sense, he surprisingly found that the flower was sent into the golden page world.
Although he couldn't go in, herbs could! Ye Mo rejoiced. After putting the remaining herbs in, Ye Mo started to look at his surroundings.
He found that he was at the foot of a mountain, and there was a small road-like passage.
Ye Mo sent his spirit sense around and found that it had increased greatly. He remembered that at stage six, his spirit sense could reach around 2 km, while now it was 7 km!
Normally, 3 km would be the limit for stage seven cultivators, yet now his spirit sense was stronger than even a peak stage chi gathering cultivator. The Three Birth Chant was strong indeed. Ye Mo sighed and decided to find a way out of where he was.
But then suddenly, he stood dazed. He found that 3 km away, a young nun was laying on the ground in the forest. He knew this nun - it was that Big Martial Sister Luo Yin. Why was she here so heavily wounded?
Ye Mo came up to Luo Yin and put a lotus life pill in her mouth.
But soon, Ye Mo's heart sunk. Luo Yin's wounds were too heavy, and her life force was at its end. Even the lotus life pill could only keep her alive for just a bit more.
"Who are you? Your eyes are familiar..."
Luo Yin opened her eyes and saw Ye Mo, but she closed her eyes again right after. Her face became ruddy, and Ye Mo knew that she was gathering her last ounce of strength. Even if Ye Mo were at the nascent soul stage now, he wouldn't be able to save her without some potent herbs.
Ye Mo remembered how he looked and immediately took a face preserving pill. Now that he was stage seven, there was no need for him to hide his face anymore.
In a short while, all the scars disappeared from his face as Ye Mo used a cleaning spell and showed his original face.
This time, Luo Yin opened her eyes and recognized the person in front of her. She immediately rejoiced, "It's you, Ye Mo! Am I dreaming?"
"No, Martial Sister Luo Yin, I came to the small world. Tell me what happened. I will get revenge for you." Ye Mo felt sad. Although he wasn't close to Luo Yin, she was Luo Xuan's Martial Sister and had taken care of both of them.
Ye Mo put another lotus life pill in her mouth.
Luo Yin signaled for him not to waste his pills. After a long while, she gathered some strength and said, "I know you came in. It was Martial Aunt Jie Xun. She hunted me and Martial Sister Luo Xuan... Wanted to find you… Martial Sister didn't want to talk about you… She was forced to jump off a cliff…. I ran away injured but was stopped and beaten again… I ran here…"
Hatred showed in Ye Mo's eyes - it was that old hag again! She was too wretched. He let her go last time because he wasn't strong enough to catch her, and now she'd harmed Luo Yin and Luo Xuan. Ye Mo felt regret. He should've found her and killed her first before going into Wu Wen Mountain.
"Ye Mo, little Martial Sister really likes you. She jumped off Shuang Shi Cliff… If possible, go find her and bring her back… She said you had helped her realize her dream, and that she had no regrets..."
As Ye Mo heard this, he remembered the time when he flew with Luo Xuan. That little girl who jumped off that building for him. Yet such a cute and beautiful girl was forced to jump off a cliff by that Jie Xun.
Ye Mo's heart was burning with rage. He wanted to go up to Jie Xun and tear her to pieces right then, but he knew Luo Yin wasn't going to hold on much longer.
Luo Yin's voice got quieter and quieter, "I regret not listening to Martial Sister Luo Fei and not staying at Luo Yue City… I regret I'm still… Ye Mo, my family is outside Gan Tong City… Shi Feng Village… My name is Shi Jingqing… If possible, take me back home and check up on them… Then give me to Martial Sister Luo Fei…"
As Ye Mo picked Luo Yin up, the joy of reaching stage seven was gone already.
Luo Yin finally became completely quiet. Ye Mo sent her into the golden page world and howled. He immediately shot into the sky with his flying sword. First, he would check on Xiaoyun. If something happened to her, even if he slaughtered all the hidden sects, what was lost wouldn't come back.
Chapter 740: Outside Chan City
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Although Ye Mo desperately wanted to go back to Ice Lake, when he got in the air, he didn't know which direction Ice Lake was.
Just when he was about to ask someone, his spirit sense scanned a peak. There were two large boulders soaring high up - was it the Shuang Shi Cliff?
TL note: Shuang Shi means two rocks.
Ye Mo immediately landed there. He found the name 'Shuang Shi Cliff' written on one of the big rocks. The other rock had 'Qing Shui Sect' written on it. However, there was no sect around. When he thought of Luo Xuan jumping off here, Ye Mo felt bad.
"Brother Ye, thank you for fulfilling my dream. Although it was just one night, I'm very satisfied."
"It's fine, it was just because I happened to be able to do it and you happened to trust me."
"I just didn't want Brother Ye to be disappointed again. I was thoughtless at the time."
He felt like he could still hear Luo Xuan's words, but she was gone.
Ye Mo was in pain. He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he jumped down the cliff. Ye Mo didn't know if he could still find Luo Xuan.
There was just grass and leaves at the bottom. Snakes too. Ye Mo's heart sunk. If Luo Xuan had fallen there, there might not even be a body to mourn, much less finding her alive.
He expanded his spirit sense and searched for nearly two hours, but he found nothing.
Ye Mo knew he couldn't keep wasting time there. There was nothing. The only possibilities were that either her body was gone, or that she had escaped.
But with Jie Xun chasing after her, Ye Mo didn't think she could have escaped.
Ye Mo went back to the top and wrote on the big rock with his sword, "Ye Mo came here to find Luo Xuan. He left after failing with concern."
Not long after, Ye Mo decided to go to a city. He realized that this was the biggest city he had seen in the small world.
Neither Hang Shui nor Wu Wen were as big as this.
Still, Ye Mo had to find where Ice Lake was.
Ye Mo got off the flying sword. He was going to go inside when he saw in big letters 'Chan City'.
"That woman was really pretty, what a pity she ran away! She was such a beautiful nun. Sigh-"
"I saw a prettier woman than her a few years ago at Huang Shui City. I planned on looking for her, but she ran away."
"That nun was already injured. Otherwise, we would have been no match for her."
….
Ye Mo turned around immediately. He knew these people were talking about Luo Yin.
"Ah! It's Martial Brother Mo from Taiyi Sect."
"Hello, Martial Brother Mo."
These people saw Ye Mo and came up to him.
Martial Brother Mo? Ye Mo frowned, but he immediately remembered that guy called Mo Youshen. Those men might have mistaken him for Mo Youshen.
"You're Horse Shit!" Ye Mo found out that he actually knew one of them, Ma Shilong.
Ma Shilong was dazed. He looked at Ye Mo carefully and then pointed at him, "You- you're not Martial Brother Mo! You're- you're-"
Ye Mo sneered. He could tell that Ma Shilong had recognized him.
"He actually isn't Martial Brother Mo! His clothes are strange too. Something's not right." The few other people had also realized.
Ma Shilong was dazed for a moment, but then rejoiced. "Not bad, kid. I didn't think you could recover your face. Where's that girl who used to follow you around? If you're willing to give her to me, I might let you live."
Ye Mo couldn't even bother talking. He raised his hand and four wind blades were shot. Ma Shilong's legs and arms were immediately sliced off. He struggled in terror on the ground, like a ball. He was screaming, yet he couldn't die immediately.
The three people next to him were dazed. How had he done that? With merely the wave of hand, Ma Shilong had lost his limbs!
"You dared to kill at Chan City! You're asking to die!" one of Ma Shilong's friends reacted and roared at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo sneered and threw at him another wind blade. A blood line appeared on his neck, then blood burst out and his head exploded into the sky. Yet, his hands were still pointing at Ye Mo.
The remaining two men were clearly stronger than the previous ones, but they started shaking after they saw the means Ye Mo had to kill. This guy had not only killed in Chan City, but also without any restraints.
Ye Mo looked at the two shaking men and asked coldly, "Did you beat that nun? When?"
"Yes, yes, two days ago. We saw her on our way back from herb collecting. I'm a disciple from Shang Qing Mountain, you can't-" the man said shakily.
Ye Mo was bursting with anger. Now that he had met the people who had caused Luo Yin's death, he didn't want to ask anymore. He threw out countless wind blades and the two shaking men were sliced like smashed tomatoes.
Only Ma Shilong was still convulsing on the ground, but it was clear he wouldn't last long.
The stench of blood spread and people moved aside. A slaughter god had killed in Chan City. No one dared to be associated with him.
"Who would dare to kill in Chan City?" Two earth level tertiary stage martial artist rushed there.
Even they felt a little disgusted at the scene. When they saw that the people killed were all from Shang Qing Mountain, their face changed.
Shang Qing Mountain was just a second grade sect, but they were backed up by Qian Kun sect.
"Hmmm- It's you, Mr Mo from Taiyi," one of them said.
Ye Mo thought about the situation. In the end, that Mo Youshen hadn't died, he had just joined Taiyi Sect.
At this moment, a chariot was coming out of Chan City. When he saw it, Ye Mo remembered that it was Goddess Zi Hua's cart. He hadn't expected to see it again today.
Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense inside. It was Yun Ziyi indeed, but she seemed injured. The cart didn't intend to stop at all when passing by Ye Mo.
Ye Mo suddenly called out, "Goddess Zi Hua, please wait a moment! I have something to ask you."
A cold voice sounded from the chariot, "Mr Mo, I'm busy. If there's nothing special, I'm leaving."
If it had been a few years ago, she wouldn't have even cared about a Taiyi core disciple. However now, the Magical Merchant Association was far weaker than Taiyi. She didn't want Mo Youshen to find an excuse to use it against them.
"Mr Mo!" the two earth level martial artists weren't happy that Ye Mo had ignored them, but they didn't dare to get angry. Mo Youshen was a core disciple of Taiyi, his status was the same as an elder's.
Ye Mo sneered, "Don't take me for Mo Youshen, I'm not him. Is Mo Youshen a Taiyi Sect Member? Great! I am going to kill Taiyi Sect people anyway, he better not cross my wake."
"What? And you dare pretend you're a Taiyi Sect core disciple? Who are you? You're asking to die!" No wonder he seemed strange! It was said that Mo Youshen was a gentlemen, he would never be as rude as this person.
Without thinking, they pulled out their swords and charged at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo lifted his hand and the flying sword landed on his hand. At the same time, a sword ray flashed and two heads flew into the sky, spilling blood.
"My name is Ye Mo."
