Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The rumors spread by Li Tianyang’s underlings were spreading like virus. In half a day, nearly all the members of the three major sub-leagues were already aware of the match.

Tomorrow, Ye Mo would be battling Li Tianyang at the sh.o.r.e near where Senior Sister Yao Yue used to stay. Some other league members were also dramatizing this story, adding numerous variations to the rumor.

Some claimed that Ye Mo and Li Tianyang had a conflict with each other since they were both courting Yao Yue. That was why they had decided to fight it out. There were many different stories flying around, but most people reached the same conclusion: Ye Mo was courting death.

Although he could defeat Yun Feng, Li Tianyang was nothing like Yun Feng. He was an expert ranked tenth on the Qingyun Ranking. He was undefeated among those under the Ninth Realm.

…

A small breeze blew past, creating ripples on the tranquil lake.

A lot of league members were already gathered here. Some Sixth Realm league members were hovering midair. Since there was not enough s.p.a.ce here to fit everyone, it would be hard to see the fight if they squeezed in with the crowd. Therefore, they decided to hover up in the air. Since they had good eyesight, so long as nothing was blocking their line of sight, they would be able to see the fight clearly.

Ye Mo and Li Tianyang were standing face to face. They had yet to fight, yet the smell of gunpowder was thick in the air.

“Ye Mo, I had originally thought that you had only promised to fight me to save face. Surprisingly, you really do have the guts to fight me.”

Li Tianyang smiled sinisterly and continued, “In a single month, I have already received no less than 10 challenges. They all wanted to beat me so they can get the tenth place on the Qingyun Ranking. Unfortunately, they were all defeated.”

“I will do whatever I say. This is my path. But the rumor you are creating is quite excessive, right? Fighting for the sake of love?” Ye Mo said with a smile. He seemed completely indifferent to what Li Tianyang said.

If Yun Chuchu heard about this so-called fight for love, she would probably be crying and creating troubles again. As he thought of this, Ye Mo suddenly started musing inwardly that the woman he had gathered so far were probably sufficient to start a game of mahjong now.

“Hmph. Is that not the case?” Li Tianyang’s expression turned unsightly and he continued, “With your strength, you are not even qualified to court Senior Sister Yao Yue. How are you worthy of having her affection?”

This Li Tianyang was most definitely projected his hatred on Ye Mo after being rejected by Yao Yue.

“What can I say? I am a charming person,” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“Hmph!” Li Tianyang’s face sank as he suddenly moved.

Crackling sounds rang out as he whizzed through the air like a meteor, leaving a line of dark blue streak in the air. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Ye Mo and stood with his back straight. His entire body erupted with a dark blue water element Yuanli. His Yuanli erupted loudly, causing the ground to tremble and creating a berserk gale around him. Within a 90 feet radius around him, the air warped and distorted before spreading outward like a tsunami.

This was the martial technique of Li Tianyang, Water Explosion. He would first turn his entire body into a clump of water that would then explode. This attack was sufficient to injure even an Energy Shaping Eight Realm Shaping.

Many Eight Realm warriors had been defeated by him in this fas.h.i.+on in a moment of carelessness.

“This Li Tianyang used this technique as his first attack. Looks like he is really angry.”

“Yeah, but anyone with his status would be angry after being challenged by a mere Inner League member.”

“Howl!”

Just as everyone thought that Ye Mo had been defeated, Ye Mo struck out with his fist. Dragon Power erupted from him while the roar of a dragon sounded in the air. His attack was destructive and fatal while the roar could be heard from thousands of miles away.

Within his right hand, 220 streams of Dragon Power shot out of his Mortal Gate. With a violent momentum, the Dragon Powers burst out of his fist and converged to form a dragon fist. With the power of destruction and killing intent, the fist slammed into the clump of water.

Bang!

When his punch landed on the clump of water, the impact caused the land beside the lake to sink while boulders flew out everywhere. The clump of water burst apart, creating a drizzle in the air. All the spectators started retreating far away.

Li Tianyang was sent backward and he was only able to stop his retreat after several dozen steps.

“Ye Mo, you are actually capable of destroying my water clump with a single hit? Don’t forget, we are near a lake. You won’t be able to survive my next attack.”

Then, Li Tianyang waved his hands, as if he was activating some sort of seal technique. Immediately, the lake near them started bubbling, as if a tsunami was coming.

“Heaven Devourer Water Snake!”

He spread his palm in the direction of the lake. Next, the waves on the lake went berserk before abruptly gus.h.i.+ng out of the lake to form an over 90 feet long water snake. The water snake lifted its head high up and hissed before biting at Ye Mo.

This was the technique Li Tianyang had gained his fame with. Now that he was using it near a lake, its prowess was further amplified. Many people were of the opinion that this was the end of this match.

“Water snake? More like a lizard,” Ye Mo shouted and poured out all the Dragon Power within his body to form a gigantic black dragon that hovered in the sky.

The black dragon was also about 90 feet long. It was formed using Dragon Power, and it was radiating an intense aura of killing and destruction from its body. The appearance of the huge dragon shocked all the warriors that were observing the battle from the air.

It was a real black dragon! Someone was actually able to form a real black dragon using the energy shaping method! The audience was stunned. The sight of this had a great impact on their hearts.The dragon was the king of beasts, a divine being.

Shaping energy taking the form of a dragon was an incredible feat.

Whoos.h.!.+

As Ye Mo shouted, the air around him warped and with a terrifying roar, the black dragon charged the water snake.

Li Tianyang’s pupil shrank. He had never expected that Ye Mo would actually be able to form such a terrifying divine being. He could feel an intense aura of destruction and killing the moment that dragon appeared. Even the Yuanli within his body was starting to freeze.

Howl!

The black dragon roared and collided with the water snake. It was as if the water snake had a mind of its. An expression of fear appeared on its face.

Boom!

When they collided, the water snake burst apart, creating a towering wave on the lake.

With the destruction of his water snake, Li Tianyang suffered an injury as well. The blood within his body roiled, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood. Then, Ye Mo raised his hand and withdrew the dragon into his body. The onlookers cried out in alarm and looked at Ye Mo in disbelief. This Ye Mo was astonis.h.i.+ng.

“Li Tianyang, this is your defeat. The tenth place on Qingyun Ranking is now mine,” Ye Mo said without emotion while gazing at Li Tianyang’s pale face.

The gap between both of them was already clear. Even with a geological advantage, Ye Mo was still able to defeat Li Tianyang. This was a battle that was fated to be etched into the history of the Qingyun League. Ye Mo, after joining the league for only half a year, had defeated the number 10 expert on the Qingyun Ranking.

Chapter 293: Iceheart Technique

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While Ye Mo was enjoying the bewildered gazes on him, a green tornado appeared. Ye Mo was carried away by the tornado before he could even do anything.

“Master?” Ye Mo was slightly shocked. He was at the top of a high mountain. An aged silhouette appeared with his back facing Ye Mo.

“Master? Why have you appeared so suddenly?” Although the old man had his back to Ye Mo, the white hair and the technique he used earlier told him that this was Elder Feng.

“Disciple, you went to Heaven’s Wall City?” Elder Feng indifferently asked with his back facing Ye Mo.

“Yes.”

“I saw the bounty issued on you when I went to the Heaven’s Wall City yesterday. What happened for you to have a bounty issued on you by the Cao Clan? That clan can almost do whatever they want in Heaven’s Wall City. A bounty issued by the Cao Clan will be in effect no matter where you run,” Elder Feng questioned.

Ye Mo told Elder Feng what happened, causing Elder Feng to frown.

“That Cao Zheng is extremely arrogant and had received guidance by the emperor himself. Of those in his age range, I think only Qi Ying could be a match to him. With him partic.i.p.ating in the league war on behalf of the Cao Clan this time, he is probably aiming to take the three major leagues down a notch,” Elder Feng said.

“I know. Although that fellow is only at the True Energy Realm, the cultivation method he practices is of the lightning attribute and is extremely powerful. I am completely helpless against him,” Ye Mo said.

“How are you doing at Xuan Ji’s place?” Elder Feng continued asking.

“I am not sure myself. She is still indifferent towards me. Now that I have defeated Li Tianyang, the entire Qingyun League must be shocked. I suppose that will change Xuan Ji’s opinion of me as well,” Ye Mo said.

“You don’t have to be bothered about too many things for now. Your immediate attention should be on increasing your strength. I heard that Ye Changsheng has completed refining the h.e.l.lfire Pearl. His body has already transformed into the h.e.l.lfire Physique. He has already reached the Energy Shaping Eight Realm. This coupled with his h.e.l.lfire Physique and the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire he wields, you might not necessarily be his match,” Elder Feng continued reminding Ye Mo. He had long seen Ye Mo as his own child.

“If he has really reached Energy Shaping Eight Realm, it will really be quite hard for me to defeat him. This Ye Changsheng is indeed a troublesome character.” Ye Mo narrowed his eyes and sank into contemplation.

“Now that you have defeated Li Tianyang and are now number 10 on the Qingyun Ranking, I will be able to issue you a mission. But since you now have a bounty on you by the Tianwu Kingdom, your ident.i.ty is very sensitive. Before doing this mission, you need to reach the level where you can form your wings. You also need to push your cultivation to an even higher level,” Elder Feng said and waved his hand. A book flew towards Ye Mo.

“This is the Iceheart Technique, a heart cultivation technique I used back then when I was demonized,” Elder Feng said.

“Demonized? Master, you were once demonized?” Ye Mo was shocked. The so-called demonization was an act of fusing demon blood into one’s own body to greatly increase one’s strength. In return, the person who did this would be controlled by the demon blood and transform into a demon that killed without thinking about it. The more the person killed, the deeper the person would slide towards the path of the demon. Eventually, that person would reach a point of no return.

Although a demonized person would obtain an increase in strength, these people would usually fall into depravity and ended up killed by other authorities. Elder Feng had been able to free himself from the path of the demon by using this Iceheart Technique. This proved that the Iceheart Technique was a very powerful technique.

“Yes. Back then, both your Martial Uncle Yun and I needed to kill an enemy. To kill him, I sank into the path of the demon. Eventually, it was your martial mother who had used Iceheart Technique to pull me out of the path of demon. This Iceheart Technique is a very magical heart cultivation technique. It will be quite helpful for your cultivation. After you master this technique, you can then start the mission. This mission is related to Yao Yue,” Elder Feng said before turning into wind and vanis.h.i.+ng into thin air.

“Yao Yue? This mission is related to Senior Sister Yao Yue? Is she in trouble?” Ye Mo wondered.

…

Ye Mo was seated cross legged beside a lake. The wind blew past, rustling his hair. After killing Li Tianyang, Ye Mo became an Elite League member. With that, he was allocated a personal cultivation area.

He opened the Iceheart Technique book and saw many rows of words in it.

To keep one’s heart as pure as ice, to remain calm even if the sky collapses.

The myriad changes are predestined, harmony is maintained.

To be selfless, to stabilize the six senses.

To cautiously cultivate one’s Qi, to be unmoving and without desires.

This was the chant of the Iceheart Technique. Ye Mo sat down cross-legged and started cultivating it. The so-called Iceheart was not actually freezing one’s heart. Rather, it was an act of reaching a selfless state in unity with the Heart Minion that was formed in one’s heart during cultivation. It was an extremely mysterious state of mind.

With no distracting thoughts, one’s heart would be as clear as ice. Even with a huge disturbance from the outside world, one would not be affected. This was a state of mind where one would be unmoved regardless of what one faced.

By cultivating one’s heart, one would achieve selflessness. One would have an empty mind, forgetting even one’s own existence. The eyes, the ears, the nose, the body, and one’s emotions were the six senses would be fixed in place and remain unmoved by the outside world.

By gathering the Qi at the Energy Center, one would have no distracting thoughts. This might sound simple, yet it was extremely difficult to accomplish. Not even Ling’er had full understanding on this so-called selfless state of mind.

Ye Mo memorized the chant and silently sat on top of a boulder. The chant drifted about in the Mortal Gate in Ye Mo’s brain. Soon, he entered a meditation state.

To keep one’s heart as pure as ice, to remain calm even if the sky collapses.

The myriad changes are predestined, harmony is maintained.

Numerous seals were a.s.saulting the Heart Minion. The Heart Minion started shuddering as it received the attacks of the seals. This was the effect of the Iceheart Technique chants. It did not cultivate the Energy Center. Instead, it cultivated the Heart Minion.

To cultivate the Iceheart Technique, one had to reach a state of selflessness. After he finished one round of the chant, the Heart Minion started slowly growing larger, as if he was going to burst out of Ye Mo’s body. Just as the Heart Minion was the same size as Ye Mo, he charged out of Ye Mo’s body and stood before him.

The Heart Minion had transformed into a different Ye Mo. Apart from his blank eyes, he looked completely the same as Ye Mo. His aura, strength, and cultivation level, everything was the same as Ye Mo.

“To master the Iceheart Technique, you need to reach the selflessness state. To reach the selflessness state, you need to first defeat me,” declared the Heart Minion. Not a single trace of emotion was present in those words.

“Ling’er, what is going on?” Ye Mo was astonished.

“You are not currently in the real world. You are in the world within your heart. Here, you won’t be able to contact Ling’er. If you want to leave, and if you want to master the Iceheart Technique, defeat me,” the Heart Minion declared.

“How hard can defeating you be?” Ye Mo looked around. Indeed, he was in a different place. He was no longer at his personal cultivation area. Rather, in this place, he was surrounded by nothingness. Before him was a different him.

“You won’t be able to defeat me,” the Heart Minion said calmly.
