Chapter 588: Meeting Ling’er Again
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Mo returned to the Heavenly Seal Tower, a huge smile on his face. And when he recalled the Transcendence Golden Body he released, the smile widened into a grin.
“So what’s the rank of my Transcendence Golden Body?” Ye Mo asked Hong Ling curiously.
“I’m not too sure myself,” she said. “I don’t recall seeing your Transcendence Golden Body on the rankings before. After all, the Five Elements Cultivation has never been a cultivation method of the secular world. Your Transcendence Golden Body shouldn’t be included in the Transcendence Ranking either. But your Transcendence Golden Body definitely surpa.s.ses everything on the list. Even the Sky Blood Lady’s Transcendence Golden Body, the Tianluo Blood Evil, was far weaker than your Transcendence Golden Body.”
When Ye Mo unleashed his Transcendence Golden Body earlier, Hong Ling was shocked, and a little afraid.
How had the Transcendence Rankings come about? The rankings were determined through the innate might of the Transcendence Golden Bodies. The mightier the Transcendence Golden Body, the more powerful it was.
“The match in two days is going to be cake,” Ye Mo said. “Even without releasing my Transcendence Golden Body, with my boundless Caged Dragon Power, I could kill Ding Badao with one hand.”
Now that Ye Mo had a million streams of Caged Dragon Power, forget Ding Badao; Ye Mo could defeat a Transcendence Fifth Realm expert relying purely on his strength.
“Unexpectedly, studying the fabricated heavenly seals was able to quickly grow my Heart Minion. Otherwise, the Heart Minion wouldn’t have been able to solidify so quickly.”
Ye Mo was shocked by this speed. Without first solidifying the body of the Heart Minion, it was impossible to transform the Heart Minion into the Transcendence Golden Body.
It would seem like coming to the Zone of Seals had been the right decision after all.
Now that he’d entered the Transcendence Golden Body, the Heart Minion was no longer a Heart Minion. Rather, it was now a Heart Transcendence, signifying that it was a Transcendence Golden Body formed by one’s heart that could be released into the outside world whenever he willed it.
After entering the Transcendence Realm, his Heart Transcendence had grown in strength. Because of that, going through the sixth and seventh floor of the tower didn’t help him much.
On the eight floor, the Heart Transcendence went through every single one of the seals, but he couldn’t understand anything and could only record all the seals with his Heart Transcendence for now.
As for the ninth floor, Ye Mo didn’t even bother trying to comprehend the seals. That was simply suicide. Even if he called on his Transcendence Golden Body, he still wouldn’t be a match for a ninth-tier heavenly seal.
Standing on the ninth floor, Ye Mo’s gaze fell on the stairs leading to the tenth floor. When he recalled Fu Qian’s warning to never enter the tenth floor, his curiosity grew.
“Let’s go take a look.”
The more capable a person was, the braver a person could be. Now that Ye Mo was a Transcendence First Realm expert, he was completely fearless as he climbed the steps to the tenth floor.
The moment Ye Mo entered the tenth floor, he saw a young lady with a long black hair, slender body, and an extremely pretty face. She was dressed in a flowery outfit formed completely of seals, looking like a fairy that had descended from the heavens.
The moment Ye Mo arrived on the tenth floor, the girl transformed into a streak of light and appeared behind Ye Mo before biting at Ye Mo’s shoulder with her fangs.
She was so fast Ye Mo couldn’t even see her move before feeling the sting on his shoulder. Then, he sensed his Caged Dragon Power draining from his body.
“Hmph. How audacious of you to dare absorb my power.”
Ye Mo had always been the one absorbing the power of others. n.o.body had ever tried to absorb his power. He snorted coldly before punching at the person behind him. But when he got a clear look at her, he stopped and a dull look surfaced on his face.
That’s because the face he saw was one he would never forget.
While trying to absorb Ye Mo’s energy, she had also bitten his shoulder.
“Ling’er, is that you?” Ye Mo roared, but the girl didn’t react as she continued absorbing his Caged Dragon Power. As she absorbed, her aura started growing as well.
“Ye Mo, if this continues, she’ll absorb all your strength.” Hong Ling’s voice pulled Ye Mo out of his shock.
It could be just an illusion. Ye Mo activated his Rising Dragon Pillar and reversed the flow, now he was the one absorbing power from the girl instead. When the girl sensed the change, her face fell and she moved away from Ye Mo.
“Who are you?” she asked from the center of the room, a trace of fear on her face. “You can actually absorb the power of this spirit? Who are you exactly? Why do I sense something familiar about you?”
“You’re not an illusion?” Ye Mo asked. “Who are you?”
“This spirit is a pseudo G.o.d grade seal, locked here by an old b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” the girl said coldly. “You have a lot of power within you, so this spirit will spare you. Come, let this spirit continue absorbing your power. I’ll then be able to recover my strength and leave the Heavenly Seal Tower.”
Ye Mo gazed at the girl and finally saw the difference between this girl and Ling’er. They were completely different in temperament. This girl was cold and forceful, intimidating and sinister
“Is she Ling’er as well?” A different thought surfaced in Ye Mo’s mind.
Ye Mo’s guess was right. Ling’er’s appearance had always been something against the way of the natural order. She was accidentally created by the strongest sealing artist in the Zone of Seals, but that sealing artist was only a heavenly sealing artist, thus, he ultimately separated the unstable G.o.d grade seal into two.
One was Ling’er, the side of justice, while the other was this Ling’er who was locked in the Heavenly Seal Tower.
Both the pseudo G.o.d grade seals were the same Ling’er, one was kind while one was evil.
“Ye Mo, perhaps this girl is Ling’er’s other half,” Hong Ling came to her own conclusion. “In the ancient past, there was a heavenly sealing artist in the Zone of Seals. His name was Fu Chen, and he was an extremely powerful sealing artist. When the Sky Blood Lady committed too many murders, it was this Fu Chen that sent Ling’er out to hunt her down. I heard from the Sky Blood Lady that Ling’er will forever be unable to become a G.o.d grade seal, as she was incomplete.”
“In other words, this Ling’er is our Ling’er’s other half,” Ye Mo finally understood.
“Yes, this Ling’er is the evil version of Ling’er,” Hong Ling said anxiously. “That was why Fu Qian warned you to not come here. I think we should leave. Although she’s rather weak right now, you’re still not her match. If she starts going crazy, we’ll suffer.”
“I have the Rising Dragon Pillar so I don’t fear her,” Ye Mo said. “Hong Ling, do you see the seal on the wall? That’s Ling’er’s seal, an actual, complete version of it. I can use the Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb this evil Ling’er into my body like what I did to the kind Ling’er before. Then, I’ll be able to combine two Ling’ers into a single seal. Won’t that resurrect the other Ling’er?”
“It could work,” Hong Ling said calmly. “It will be an act of reforming two Ling’er into one. But it’s also very dangerous. Otherwise, Fu Chen wouldn’t have bothered to split the seal in two in the first place.”
Ye Mo frowned. It was too risky. If he failed, Ling’er wouldn’t be resurrected, and even the evil Ling’er might be killed, too.
