Chapter 1204: Body Condensation State Peak Stage
Ye Mo dismissed his concerns; the Magical Herb Sect was gone, but he and Luo Ying remained together. He had already killed the Ye Mo of West Flow Sect, Jing Yudian, in the Truth Fall Palace—as for Jing Kun, he could eliminate him at any time during a trip to East Black State.
“Hidden Sword Sect is now an 8-star sect in East Black State. Why did you leave?” Ye Mo asked, composing himself.
Bian Fengta replied quietly, “It’s a matter of the past, but I still haven’t found peace. My father, Bian Xiangxin, was the sect leader. There were three prodigies in the sect: myself, my fiancée Qi Yirong, and my martial brother Yao Shan. Being young and my father being the sect leader, I neglected my cultivation. I often spent my time with Yirong.”
“Because of that, when I was still in the Nascent Soul state middle stage, my martial brother Yao Shan reached the Hollow Spirit state. My fiancée also reached the Hollow Spirit state. I didn't initially worry, but she gradually distanced herself from me and became involved with my martial brother Yao Shan. Only then did I become concerned.”
Ye Mo frowned but remained silent. Bian Fengta saw this and smiled wryly. “I intended to work harder to catch up, but at that moment, my martial brother Yao Shan proposed to my fiancée. Qi Yirong was my fiancée—it was public knowledge—yet my father agreed. I couldn't understand it and tried to reason with my father, but he sneered, saying I didn't deserve Yirong. When I went to find her, I found them together. Heartbroken, I left the sect and cultivated in the nearby Heartless Sea, eventually becoming a level three pill king. Upon reaching Cauldron Filling state level seven, I realized East Black State wouldn't allow me to advance further, so I planned to cross the Heartless Sea to South Peace State.”
Though Ye Mo disagreed with his actions, he patted Bian Fengta’s shoulder. “A real man doesn't need to worry about finding a wife; there's no loss in losing a woman like that.”
Ye Mo then summoned Blue Moon. “Come, let’s go to Lost Soul Ruins.”
“An extreme-grade flying cultivation artifact?” Bian Fengta exclaimed, astonished. As a Cauldron Filling state level eight cultivator, he understood the immense value of such an artifact, especially a flying one.
Ye Mo nodded, smiling. “So, it won’t take a year for you to guide me to Lost Soul Ruins. At full speed, it’ll be about half a year.”
Bian Fengta sighed. “With an extreme-grade flying cultivation artifact, reaching North Far State wouldn't take a few years.”
Ye Mo said, “Er Taa, I need to cultivate on the way. Can you control Blue Moon?”
Bian Fengta readily agreed. “Certainly. Cultivate; leave it to me. I’ve never experienced the speed of an extreme-grade flying cultivation artifact.”
Ye Mo desperately needed to enhance his power; he couldn't even speak freely in front of Yong Lanyi. Reaching Disaster Transformation state would allow him to escape immediately.
Ye Mo gave Bian Fengta a communication bead, then entered Blue Moon, setting up a formation before entering the Golden Page World. He trusted Bian Fengta wouldn't use spirit sense to scan him, but the Golden Page World was too important.
Ye Mo now possessed two extreme-grade spirit ranges. After preparing Dew Condensation Pills and time formation disks, he set up a spirit gathering formation to accelerate spirit chi absorption.
Using the Three Birth Chant, the surrounding spirit chi rumbled, forming a white mist above the extreme-grade spirit range. Ye Mo was enveloped in the mist, becoming invisible. Even Shadowless, sleeping near the bitter bamboo, was roused but only glanced once before returning to sleep.
A year later, Ye Mo reached body condensation state level eight; two years later, level nine. In the fourth year, he reached body condensation state level nine peak stage, then halted his advancement. His understanding of domain was clearer. If he were to fight a Disaster Transformation state cultivator, he was confident he could inflict some damage.
Four years within the time formation disk translated to only four months outside. The time formation disk was undeniably potent, but looking at the extreme-grade spirit range, he was speechless. A third of it was depleted.
The spirit chi consumption of both him and the time formation disk was alarming. Without finding more, the two ranges wouldn't be enough to support his cultivation to Cauldron Filling state peak stage.
Ye Mo removed the time formation disk and scanned his spirit sense. He found Er Taa concocting pills. Ye Mo then retrieved his Shen Nong cauldron.
He intended to concoct Kun Filling Pills. He only had one set of ingredients, but he didn't mind; he was confident in his current skill.
Forty-five minutes later, Ye Mo produced six pills: three top-grade and three extreme-grade. He then concocted several more cauldrons of Cauldron Essence pills, which aid Cauldron Filling state cultivators in recovering cultivation essence and can be used for cultivation.
Just as he finished and was about to inform Bian Fengta of his intention to find a place to breakthrough to Cauldron Filling state, he saw Bian Fengta put away his cauldron and abruptly redirect Blue Moon.
Ye Mo immediately exited the Golden Page World. “Er Taa, what's wrong?”
He didn't need to ask; he saw two cultivators fighting on a nearby island, both beast cultivators.
“Ye Mo, are you done? One of them is my friend, Teng Yi, whom I mentioned. I need to see if he needs help,” Bian Fengta explained.
Then, he stared at Ye Mo in shock. “You… you're at body condensation state peak stage? How… how is that possible?”
No matter how prodigious the genius, the quality of their spirit root, or their cultivation environment, reaching body condensation state peak stage from body condensation state level seven in four months was unheard of.
Ye Mo smiled. “Yes. I need to find a suitable place for divine damnation to reach Cauldron Filling state; otherwise, entering Lost Soul Ruins with a low cultivation level is too risky.”
Bian Fengta gasped, staring at Ye Mo in astonishment.
After a long pause, he sighed. “You're undoubtedly the number one prodigy of Luo Yue Continent. I suspected you might be a hundred years old, but now I’m certain you aren't even fifty. I've never witnessed such cultivation speed—a first and last.”
Before Ye Mo could respond, the beast cultivator saw Bian Fengta and shouted, “Er Taa, why are you still here? Weren't you going to South Peace State?” He then resumed his fight, sending rocks flying.
Seeing Bian Fengta, the other beast cultivator ceased his attack on Teng Yi, regarding Ye Mo and Bian Fengta with caution.
Bian Fengta quickly explained, “I was going to South Peace State, but I turned back. Seeing you fighting, I came to check.”
The beast cultivator coldly replied, “Since your friend is here, we can fight another time. I’m leaving.”
Teng Yi sneered, “I fight alone. Even with a friend here, he won't help. If you're afraid, don't make excuses.”
Ignoring Teng Yi, the beast cultivator flew away on a flying cultivation artifact. Teng Yi didn't pursue him. He approached Bian Fengta, noticing Blue Moon, his eyes widening. “Er Taa, when did you get an extreme-grade flying cultivation artifact?”
