Chapter 739: Passed Away

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Casting aside his random thoughts, Ye Mo consumed two essence-increasing pills at once. Strong spiritual power surged through his meridians. As he digested the power, it relentlessly assaulted the barrier preventing his advancement to stage seven.

With the potent digestive power of the Three Birth Chant, Ye Mo felt the spiritual power depleting rapidly, yet he remained far from a breakthrough.

Ye Mo gritted his teeth and swallowed five great essence-increasing pills in one gulp. Spiritual energy immediately ignited within his meridians and dantian.

The explosive power from consuming so many pills simultaneously was terrifying for a chi-gathering cultivator. Ye Mo was likely the first stage-six cultivator in history to attempt such a feat.

But the Three Birth Chant's extraordinary power allowed him to digest the overwhelming spiritual energy, provided it didn't instantly rupture his dantian and meridians.

Ye Mo knew this was unorthodox cultivation practice, but he had no regrets. He was more anxious than anyone to escape his current predicament.

Fortunately, the Three Birth Chant did not fail him.

Crack—Ye Mo heard the sound of a barrier fracturing. The trapped chi found the fissure and erupted through it. Ye Mo felt his internal chi grow stronger with each passing moment.

Ye Mo rejoiced. His desperate gamble had paid off; he had reached stage seven.

Ye Mo stabilized his power and rose. He extended his hand, and an intensely bright fireball materialized. It was several times more powerful than before. Ye Mo breathed a sigh of contentment at his significantly enhanced power.

Though only at stage seven, Ye Mo felt confident in facing even a peak stage chi-gathering cultivator.

He considered the three individuals in Hang Shui City whose power he couldn't fathom. He believed he could now contend with them.

This was crucial for his planned revenge against the Taiyi Sect.

"Exit!!" Ye Mo roared, unwilling to remain a second longer.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he left the dull gray world.

Finally free! Ye Mo felt like weeping. How long had he been trapped?

Not good! Ye Mo suddenly remembered the Jia Lan Flower. While its potency remained intact within the golden page world, that didn't guarantee its preservation outside.

He quickly retrieved it and placed it in a jade box for safekeeping. However, he knew it would still lose some potency within half a month.

Using it to create a foundation establishment pill now would be wasteful.

Ye Mo thought regretfully, 'If only I'd left it in the golden page world!'

Considering this, Ye Mo attempted to re-enter the world, but to no avail. However, when he tried moving the flower with his spiritual sense, he surprisingly found it transported into the golden page world.

While he couldn't enter, herbs could! Ye Mo rejoiced. After storing the remaining herbs, he surveyed his surroundings.

He discovered he was at the foot of a mountain, near a small, road-like passage.

Ye Mo extended his spiritual sense and found it had significantly increased. He recalled that at stage six, his spiritual sense reached approximately 2 kilometers, but now it extended 7 kilometers!

Normally, 3 kilometers was the limit for stage-seven cultivators. His spiritual sense now surpassed even that of a peak stage chi-gathering cultivator. The Three Birth Chant was indeed powerful. Ye Mo sighed and began searching for an exit.

Then, he froze. Three kilometers away, in the forest, he saw a young nun lying on the ground. He recognized her—Big Martial Sister Luo Yin. Why was she so severely wounded?

Ye Mo approached Luo Yin and placed a lotus life pill in her mouth.

But soon, Ye Mo's heart sank. Luo Yin's injuries were too severe, her life force waning. Even the lotus life pill could only offer a brief reprieve.

"Who are you? Your eyes are familiar…"

Luo Yin opened her eyes, saw Ye Mo, then closed them again. Her face flushed, indicating she was gathering her last reserves of strength. Even if Ye Mo were at the nascent soul stage, he couldn't save her without potent herbs.

Ye Mo recalled his appearance and immediately took a face-preserving pill. Being at stage seven, he no longer needed to conceal his face.

In moments, the scars vanished as Ye Mo used a cleansing spell, revealing his original features.

This time, Luo Yin opened her eyes and recognized him. She rejoiced, "It's you, Ye Mo! Am I dreaming?"

"No, Martial Sister Luo Yin, I've returned from the small world. Tell me what happened. I will avenge you," Ye Mo said sadly. Though not close, Luo Yin had cared for him and Luo Xuan.

Ye Mo placed another lotus life pill in her mouth.

Luo Yin gestured for him not to waste his pills. After a long pause, she mustered her strength, "I know you entered. It was Martial Aunt Jie Xun. She hunted me and Martial Sister Luo Xuan… Wanted to find you… Martial Sister didn't want to discuss you… She was forced to jump off a cliff…. I escaped, injured, but was caught and beaten again… I fled here…"

Hatred filled Ye Mo's eyes—that wretched old hag again! He had spared her before, lacking the strength to capture her, and now she had harmed Luo Yin and Luo Xuan. Ye Mo regretted not killing her before entering Wu Wen Mountain.

"Ye Mo, little Martial Sister truly liked you. She jumped off Shuang Shi Cliff… If possible, find her and bring her back… She said you helped her fulfill her dream, and she had no regrets…"

Hearing this, Ye Mo recalled flying with Luo Xuan. That sweet girl who had jumped from a building for him. Yet, that cute, beautiful girl was forced to jump off a cliff by Jie Xun.

Ye Mo burned with rage. He wanted to confront Jie Xun and tear her apart, but he knew Luo Yin wouldn't last much longer.

Luo Yin's voice grew fainter, "I regret not heeding Martial Sister Luo Fei's advice and staying in Luo Yue City… I regret… Ye Mo, my family lives outside Gan Tong City… Shi Feng Village… My name is Shi Jingqing… If possible, take me home and check on them… Then give me to Martial Sister Luo Fei…"

As Ye Mo lifted Luo Yin, the joy of reaching stage seven vanished.

Luo Yin finally fell silent. Ye Mo placed her in the golden page world and howled. He immediately soared into the sky on his flying sword. First, he would check on Xiaoyun. If anything had happened to her, even if he slaughtered all the hidden sects, what was lost could never be recovered.
