At one end of the Skyburn Mountain Range, the enchanting lady accompanying Ye Changsheng suddenly frowned as she said, “That damned Ye Mo, I can’t believe he killed my Tiger Cloud Sparrow.”

“What’s the matter? How is it possible that Ye Mo killed the Tiger Cloud Sparrow – it is a beast in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm,” said Ye Changsheng, surprised.

“Ye Mo was forced to the Cliff of Death by the Tiger Cloud Sparrow and Xie Xiu. Still, he managed to kill the Tiger Cloud Sparrow with his final ultimate attack before he died. However, Xie Xiu caused him to drop down the Cliff of Death – there is no doubt that he is dead,” said the lady.

“Dead?”

A hint of glee flashed across Ye Changsheng’s face as he asked. Seeing the lady nodding her head, he felt as if a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders as he said, “Ye Mo is finally dead. Dropping down the Cliff of Death, unless he can fly, death is certain.”

Flying was something only Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters were able to do.

“Changsheng, why have you been persistent to see Ye Mo dead? Isn’t he from the same city area as you?” asked the lady curiously.

“Yan Zhi, there is a deep amount of hatred between Ye Mo and I. Like a devil living inside my heart, if I don’t kill him, my martial arts training journey will be hindered. Now that he is dead, my training will definitely rise rapidly,” said Ye Changsheng, who wrapped his arms around the woman named Yan Zhi.

“Changsheng, will you no longer want me after you become the strongest in Tianwu Kingdom?” Yan Zhi asked shyly.

“Yan Zhi, Master Xuan Ji has arranged for you and I to be together. While we have only known each other for a few days, I found myself liking you more and more each day. Wait until I become stronger, and I will definitely take you out of Tianwu Kingdom,” said Ye Changsheng, his expression completely serious.

“Changsheng, I like you too!” Yan Zhi closed her eyes as she spoke, offering her delicate lips to Ye Changsheng.

As Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi shared an intimate moment in the Skyburn Mountain Range, Ye Mo was falling down the Cliff of Death. Equipped with the Windward Dash, Ye Mo was naturally not afraid of falling to his death. However, guessing that Xie Xiu will not leave immediately, and that he would be on the end of another manic pursuit from him once he emerged, he decided to drop for a while more before stepping back upwards.

Ye Mo’s steps were extremely light, like a leaf floating in the wind. As he ascended, Ye Mo saw a giant cave on the walls of the cliff.

Taking several steps in the air, Ye Mo headed towards the cave. The cave was pitch black so Ye Mo unable to see anything.

“Brother Ye Mo, walk inwards. This cave is deep, but it seems like there’s a path,” said Ling’er.

Ling’er’s spiritual powers were extremely strong, and so she was able to detect the surroundings using her powers. Without even needing her eyes, everything about the cave road was extremely clear in her mind.

Following Ling’er’s reminder, Ye Mo proceeded down the cave road. The further he went, the higher the road was, and the skeletons in the surroundings seemed older as well.

However, those skeletons were not of people during the era of Saint Skyburn, but fighters who died just a few hundred years ago. Some skeleton bones were a golden color and steel-like – these bones were of fighters who had reached the True Energy Realm. As they strengthened their bodies with True Energy, their bones were strengthened as well, therefore reaching a golden color.

If even True Energy Realm fighters died this deep into the cave road, this place must be filled with dangers.

“Brother Ye Mo, I think you should stop here. This is very possibly the tomb of Saint Skyburn. Even True Energy Realm fighters are buried here. This deep in, there is danger everywhere. We must be fully prepared,” said Ling’er.

If even True Energy fighters died here, it meant that death was a certainty if Ye Mo brazenly ventured any further, despite all the tricks up his sleeves.

“What should we do then? There are definitely corpses of the True Energy Realm here. We won’t be able to kill True Energy Realm corpses unless you are the one attacking!” said Ye Mo.

“Dealing with a single dead corpse, I can just use a seal and put out its spiritual flame. But if multiple True Energy Realm corpses suddenly show up, we will be dead for sure,” Ling’er said solemnly with a frown on her face.

“So do you have another solution?”

“That goes without saying!”

Ling’er smiled proudly as she sat cross-legged on a seal. She said, “This dead corpse, why is it not dead? It’s because there is still some grievances left inside its soul. If we force out all the grievances, the dead corpses will become a completely dead body.”

Being strong fighters when they were alive, the corpses were naturally going to hold grievances, having been dragged to be buried together with Saint Skyburn.

“Now that you’ve advanced to the Energy Shaping Realm, I can teach you a type of Exorcism Seal. Cultivate three of these seals and create an Exorcism Magical Formation. The moment a corpse enters the formation, its grievances will be pulled out,” said Ling’er.

“Will this work against True Energy Realm corpses?” Ye Mo had some doubts. A Level Two Seal could work against Energy Shaping Realm fighters, but facing True Energy Realm fighters, surely a Level Three Seal was needed.

“Fool, fool! Don’t you have the Sky Blood Spear? This Exorcism Formation will only barely pull its grievances out. Afterwards, you can display the Will of the Sky Blood again and steal its grievances using the Sky Blood Spear,” said Ling’er.

Ling’er was genuins, full of brilliant ideas and solutions like this one.

The ingredient needed to cultivate an Exorcism Seal was a heart-stone of a light element monster. There were a few of such among the many heart-stones collected by the Long Armed Ape Monkey in its Dimensional Bracelet.

This kind of heart-stone was extremely rare and could be sold for an ungodly price. Light elemental energy is an extremely strong energy types to begin with.

“Let’s start cultivating!”

Ye Mo’s cultivating techniques had become more and more advanced. Without even needing to lay the seal flat on a table, Ye Mo simply threw the seal in the air and started to write blindly.

Level Two Seals required both fingers to sketch, with the two rows of energy lines not being allowed to contain any errors, an extremely difficult task. However, Ye Mo possessed perfect control of the wood elemental energy. With 60 beams of Giant Dragon Power channelled to the entrance of his brain, combined with Ling’er’s guidance, after a few tries, he was finally able to successfully cultivate an Exorcism Seal.

Seal artists would definitely have dropped their jaws had they seen Ye Mo blindly writing seals like that. However, as Ling’er had told Ye Mo before, this was nothing.

Truly powerful seal artists were able to write seals in an instant during battle, and even stronger ones, like Ling’er, did not even need to write and were able to create seals with a wave of their hands.

However, Ye Mo was far from that level of expertise.

Having successfully cultivated the first Exorcism Seal, creating the second and third seals did not require much effort.

Exorcism Seals’ seal texts gave out a blinding glow. The corpse aura in their surroundings automatically dissipated upon coming into contact with the white light.

Ye Mo placed the three Exorcism Seals in a triangular formation. With an energy force, these three seals will be able to form into an Exorcism Magical Formation!

“The Exorcism Magical Formation has been placed. I shall venture further inside. The moment I encounter strong corpses, I shall lead them out!”

Ye Mo dashed past multiple tunnels at a rapid speed, arriving at an ancient tomb at in the underground. A flame was ignited in the middle of the ancient tomb and was somewhat bright. There were more than 10 bronze coffins in this tomb. Those coffins were all closed shut, so Ye Mo unable to tell if there were any corpses inside.

The thing that Ye Mo immediately locked his eyes on was the altar in the middle of all the bronze coffins. A giant ape monkey sat on top of the throne, wearing a phoenix purple-gold crown, clad in a suit of golden chainmail armor, and wearing a pair of cloud-treading shoes that were the color of lotus root. In his hand held a flashing golden staff.
