Chapter 1188: A Deal

Meng Hanan saw Ye Mo’s face and immediately knew what he thought, she said, “The Qu 18 Disks looks like huge round disks, after every disk the formation grows more complicated. It’s said that the last disk is a peak that soars into the clouds. Each time we have a tournament, each power can send ten people. Whoever gets the farthest is the first, if two powers both get on the same disk, then it’s up to the amount of people behind.”
Then, Meng Hanan looked at Ye Mo apologetically, “Each time, there are cauldron filling state cultivators amongst the contestants. Usually three on each side…”
This time, Ye Mo couldn’t hold it and got up. He looked at Meng Hanan in disbelief, “Sister Meng, there are cauldron filling state cultivators within 100 years of age in this place? There’re so many too? This is really unbelievable…”
The girl behind Meng Hanan finally couldn’t hold it anymore and burst into laughter. Ye Mo was too emotional.
In a cultivation level as high as South Peace State, 100 year old body condensation states were extremely rare, and yet in the outer sea of Heartless Sea, there were this many cauldron filling state cultivators within 100 years. Was the difference really this huge?
If there were really such prodigies, the South Peace State 9-star sects would’ve long been here already. These people were countless times stronger than Yuan Guannan and Tian Aofeng.
Meng Hanan smiled. “Don’t worry master Ye, let me explain. Although we’re the three biggest powers here, there are also some beast cultivators. Some don’t like battle and does business with humans. As time went on, some beast cultivators who can morph into humans married human cultivators. This way, a few of their offspring would be extremely talented. These people would only need to be fed all sorts of spirit herbs and pills for their cultivation speed to be ten times faster than ordinary cultivators.”
Ye Mo still looked at her suspiciously. If that was the case, then this world would be dominated by these half-bloods.
“But…” Meng Hanan continued, “This type of cultivators use up an astounding amount of spirit herbs. Even a sect would be able to raise only a few and there’s one problem, these cultivators would find it very hard to progress after cauldron filling state peak stage. Less than one percent reach disaster transformation state. As for truth realisation state, there’s not a single one.”
Ye Mo breathed easy thinking this was normal.
Meng Hanan smiled, “Master Ye don’t worry, each power is only allowed to bring out three of such cultivators. The rest are human cultivators like you. There’s indeed danger going into the compet.i.tion and if you don’t want to go I won’t force you. If you are willing to go, I will tell you where the Immortal Curl Flower is said to have appeared and give you a Kun Filling Pill after the match.
Hearing this, Ye Mo realized that the wavy haired girl he met before was probably a half-blood.
“Yes, I agree.” Ye Mo nodded without hesitation.
Then he thought of the wavy haired girl, she was clearly a member of the big three. What if he went to the tournament and was seen by her, would she look for trouble? He had to speak about this first. Plus with his experience, it was clear that arrogant girl would look for his trouble.
Seeing Ye Mo agree, Meng Hanan immediately said happily, “There’s about a week before the tournament. If you have any questions you can ask me.”
Ye Mo said straight up, “I do have a few questions. When I came to the Ling Island, I offended this girl. I don’t know which power she’s from. If she comes looking for trouble, please help me sister Meng, she probably has a powerful background.”
Meng Hanan frowned, “Can you be more specific? What features does that girl have?”
Ye Mo nodded, he had a deep impression of that girl and said, “She’s very arrogant, her skin is very white, her hair is wavy, her chest is very big…”
Ye Mo didn’t think much before he said this, but after saying it, he immediately realized his words weren’t appropriate, there were two women in front of him. People might think he was l.u.s.tful as the first thing he noticed was someone’s chest. But Ye Mo knew he really couldn’t be blamed, that girl’s chest was really too huge.
As soon as Ye Mo said this, that quiet girl looked down and her face blushed.
Ye Mo felt awkward but Meng Hanan smiled, “I think I know who she is, does she have a chariot flying magic artifact?”
Ye Mo patted his head, with Meng Hanan’s reminder, he immediately changed the way he spoke. “Yes, she also had two body guards. She chased me for a long time when I stopped and asked her, she wanted to rob my flying magic artifact. In order to break free, I could only damage her flying chariot.”
Meng Hanan heard this and looked at Ye Mo in shock, “That young girl is the daughter of the Tong Hai Cult leader Yong Yuer, her mother is a beast cultivator but not from the Heartless Sea. Her two bodyguards are both cauldron filling state, you could escape from them?”
Meng Hanan was shocked but still a little dubious.
Ye Mo immediately said, “I was no match for them but I used their arrogance and broke their chariot with some means.”
Meng Hanan’s eyes flashed with a sliver of worry and she sighed, “Even so, you’re quite amazing, but don’t worry. You didn’t do anything wrong, no matter how much Yong Lanyi is protective of his daughter, he won’t do anything to you in the tournament.”
Ye Mo breathed easy hearing this. That young girl was clearly not a good person, he didn’t want to fight with that stubborn and selfish princesses.
Seeing Meng Hanan agree, Ye Mo asked again, “I also want to ask, can you tell me the location of the Immortal Curl Flower now?”
Meng Hanan smiled. “I was going to tell you even if you didn’t ask.”
Then, she took out a jade slip, “This is a fragmented map of a sea region. I once went there with martial brother w.a.n.g but this is in the depth of the Heartless Sea. I almost died there. This map marks the Immortal Curl Flower but I don’t know how long this map has been around for. Even if there was an Immortal Curl Flower, it’s probably gone. This is the only thing I have, if…”
Ye Mo quickly took the jade slip and said, “Thank you sister Meng.”
He had zero leads on the Immortal Curl Flower but now there was finally something.
Meng Hanan nodded but pointed at the girl behind her. “This is my disciple Meng Qi, she’s going to the tournament as well. She doesn’t know much about formations so another reason I’m asking you to go is also to take care of her a little.”
Ye Mo asked confusedly, “Then why not just not go?”
Meng Hanan smiled. “You might not really understand the Qu 18 Disks – it’s dangerous but it can improve cultivators’ mental state. Those who go usually have reduced heart demons. It can also cleanse the spirit sense making you reach higher levels faster.”
Hearing this, Ye Mo was immediately excited. What he cared about most was spirit sense, if his spirit sense was purified, would his Purple Eye Soul Sever be stronger?
Meng Hanan said “so if you go there too it would benefit you as well.”
“Are you unable to leave during the tournament?” Ye Mo asked again.
Meng Hanan seemed to know what Ye Mo thought. “Don’t worry, since I promised to not let Yong Yuer touch you I can protect you. Once you enter the Qu 18 Disks, you can only come if you get killed or fail or wait 18 days when the place closes.”
“Oh,” Ye Mo said disappointedly. He was indeed worried about Yong Yuer.
Meng Hanan said it nicely but he had nothing to do with the Sea Cultivator Alliance. They were just doing a deal. Plus the cult leader of Tong Hai Cult was truth realisation state peak stage, the strongest person in the outer sea meanwhile Meng Hanan was only disaster transformation state primary stage. The difference was huge.
“I heard that if you reach the top of the last disk, you can leave whenever you want. But from the ancient times till now, no one seems to have been able to reach there. The best the three powers have accomplished was the 12th disk,” Meng Hanan said.
