170: Chapter 170 The Feng Family is Courting Death
Water Moon Realm, February 24th.
As soon as Ye Mo returned to the Tianlei Sect, he immediately found Shen Du and asked him if he knew about the Divine Demon.
"Divine Demon? What kind of thing is that? Is it also a type of Demonic Cultivator?"
Shen Du shook his head; clearly, he had never even heard of it.
"Probably not."
Ye Mo frowned slightly. Song Tiancheng hadn't said much about the Divine Demon. After thinking for a moment, he added, "It might be related to Body Cultivators."
"Body Cultivator? Then you'll have to ask the Sect Master. He visited the Red Prefecture several times in his early years, and there are a few Body Cultivator Sects over there. The Sect Master should know something. By the way, the Sect Master took you on as a Named Disciple, but you haven't been to see him all these days, have you?" Shen Du said.
"Is there a rule for that? Do I have to go pay my respects every day?" Ye Mo said.
"Junior Brother Ye, you really don't care about social etiquette at all. Others who become the Sect Master's Named Disciple would give anything to stay by the Sect Master's side day and night, but you? You act as if you're afraid of meeting him." Shen Du said, speechless.
"You said it yourself, I'm just a Named Disciple. If there's nothing important, I wouldn't dare disturb the Sect Master."
"You really are too honest. Come on, I'll take you to see the Sect Master."
Shen Du grabbed Ye Mo's arm, then took out a Flying Sword and flew toward the Sect's main hall.
After speaking to the guards at the entrance of the main hall, Ye Mo and Shen Du soon entered.
The entire main hall was occupied by Sect Master Luo Shan alone.
Ye Mo bowed to him.
"Ye Mo, do you have something you need?"
Sect Master Luo Shan looked at Ye Mo, feeling somewhat conflicted; it was truly a pity. If Ye Mo's Spiritual Root had been even slightly better, the Tianlei Sect would have gone all out to Cultivate him.
"Revered Master, I would like to ask, do you know about the Divine Demon? It is highly likely that he devours Body Cultivators to enhance his own strength." Ye Mo didn't waste any time and asked directly.
"Divine Demon?"
Sect Master Luo Shan was thoughtful, but eventually shook his head and said, "Devouring Body Cultivators likely involves absorbing life force and Divine Soul. Demonic Cultivators can do this too, but relatively speaking, it is not as effective as it is with normal Cultivators."
"Is it possible that Body Refining Cultivators also have a corresponding Cultivation Technique similar to that of Demonic Cultivators?" Ye Mo continued to ask.
"I don't think so. I know many powerful Body Cultivators, and I have never heard of such a Cultivation Technique." Sect Master Luo Shan said without hesitation. If such a Cultivation Technique existed, it would be impossible for him not to have heard of it.
Ye Mo fell into thought, wondering if this so-called Divine Demon was also just a Demonic Cultivator, and Song Tiancheng and the others simply didn't know it.
"Why, who did you hear about the Divine Demon from?" Sect Master Luo Shan asked curiously.
"Nothing, it might just be a name someone made up." Ye Mo shook his head.
"Hmm, Ye Mo, although you are only my Named Disciple, if you have any doubts regarding your Cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me."
"Thank you, Revered Master." Ye Mo bowed and took his leave.
In the following days, Ye Mo continued to practice Alchemy every day, mainly to accumulate one thousand contribution points to purchase the Tianlei Nine Swords technique.
Regarding the Tianlei Nine Swords, Ye Mo specifically asked Shen Du about it. Shen Du said that most Tianlei Sect Disciples practice the Tianlei Nine Swords, but very few can Cultivate it to the seventh sword. The main reason is that after the seventh sword, the consumption is immense, and without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible to Cultivate.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's eyes brightened instead. Naturally, he liked Spells and Cultivation Techniques that consumed more energy.
"Senior Brother Shen, does the Sect have any other Spells or Cultivation Techniques like this? The higher the consumption, the better." Ye Mo asked.
"You really are stubborn. Junior Brother Ye, remember, no matter how strong a technique is, if you bite off more than you can chew, you won't Revered Master any of it. Do not be overly greedy." Shen Du said very seriously.
"I was just saying it casually; don't take it seriously." Ye Mo thought to himself that he would go check the Scripture Pavilion again when he had the chance later.
...
February 30th. It was the day for the System to distribute rewards again, but this time it was only 33 times. The total multiplier had reached 366 times. Ye Mo's spiritual power value had reached 570. It was still quite a distance from the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
Ye Mo kept the 33 years of Lifespan rewarded, waiting for the next time he practiced the Tianlei Nine Swords.
Soon, the time came to March 4th. Ye Mo returned to Blue Planet.
At this time, most of Ye Mo's women had gone to the Sanming Mountain Secret Realm. Only Lu Baijun remained. This was also at Ye Mo's request, because Ye Mo still needed to Cultivate.
Three days later, November 20th, 2028. Ye Mo successfully broke through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. His spiritual power value had reached 800. However, he was still more than 20,000 away from the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. He would need to wait until the next round of children were born to be equivalent to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. Moreover, the next round would be all Purple Spirit Roots. The rewards would be very generous.
That evening, Ye Mo came to the Feng Family. Now, except for Lu Shichao who hadn't gone to Sanming Mountain, only the Feng Family remained. Even Liao Qing had been knocked unconscious by Cheng Ying and taken to the Secret Realm.
The reason the Feng Family hadn't gone was, naturally, that they had great prejudice against Ye Mo. They simply did not believe what Feng Yuyan said. The people in the Family were even isolating Feng Yuyan, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In particular, Feng Yuyan had given birth to two children for Ye Mo; the older one was already over two years old, and the younger one was nearly one year old. Since the two children were born, only Feng Yuyan's mother had come to help care for them more often.
Ye Mo had asked her many times to go to Meixin Manor. But Feng Yuyan was very stubborn and refused to go no matter what he said. First, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to integrate into the big Family. Second, she was also at odds with her Family.
Arriving at the Feng Family, Ye Mo held his little daughter and held his eldest son by the hand. He went to the first-floor hall and had Patriarch Feng Zhonghe call all the main members of the Family over.
"Presumably, Yuyan has already told you that in over three months, a massive change is highly likely to occur on Blue Planet. It would not be an exaggeration to call it the end of the world. If it really happens, no one will be spared. I will say it one more time: those who want to come with me, raise your hands now." Ye Mo's expression was very grim.
Ye Mo had very little patience for the Feng Family. Patriarch Feng Zhonghe knew his strength; he also knew that Ye Mo was the one who wiped out the Tang Family. But the Feng Family's attitude toward Feng Yuyan remained cold and indifferent. Even Feng Yuyan's father, Feng Mingwen, was the same. This made Ye Mo very angry.
"Ye Mo, there's no need to use the end of the world to scare us. If you want my Feng Family's assets, you can just say so clearly." The one who spoke was Feng Mingzhi. He was the strongest person in the Feng Family. Although he feared Ye Mo's strength, his face showed disdain for Ye Mo. To come up with an excuse like the end of the world—was he treating the Feng Family like children?
"What about the rest of you? My time is limited. Give me your answer immediately." Ye Mo's voice turned cold. He scanned the crowd, but no one raised their hand.
Ye Mo stood up abruptly, then looked at Feng Yuyan beside him and said, "Let's go." After speaking, Ye Mo walked toward the outside of the hall. Feng Yuyan looked at her parents, but in the end, she followed Ye Mo.
She had actually told her mother many times to make sure she believed her. But Feng Yuyan's mother had said that even if it were the end of the world, she would die together with her husband.
Inside the hall, Patriarch Feng Zhonghe's face was extremely gloomy. He naturally did not believe such nonsense about the end of the world. He even had the same thought as Feng Mingzhi: that Ye Mo was trying to seize his Feng Family's assets.
"Dad, it's time to fight back. A while ago, Junjie met a powerful expert. I have sparred with him, and I couldn't even withstand a single move from him. He told me that as long as our Feng Family pledges allegiance to him, he can help us clear away all obstacles." A fierce glint flashed in Feng Mingzhi's eyes.
"Tonight, have him come to our Feng Family..."
