They traveled quickly, moving as fast as a storm.
When Ye Mo and Miao Miao arrived at the Door of Desolation, they flew straight to the Merit Hall at the Outer Peak.
The so-called Merit Hall was the place for people to turn in their accepted missions.
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw a familiar person far away. Lin Langya was there turning in a mission.
“Here are 600 True Energy Realm demonic cores, 350 Heaven’s Gate Realm demonic cores, 40 Heaven’s Strength Realm demonic cores, and 10 Energy Burst Realm demonic cores.” With a flash of Lin Langya’s dimensional bracelet, a large pile of demonic cores appeared on the ground before him.
“These…all these are the demonic cores of the demon army? I heard when the 1,000 disciples of Human Dao Palace arrived, the demon army had already been eliminated.” The disciple in charge of supervising the missions was shocked. Even though Lin Langya was a Spirit Devour Realm expert, it should have been impossible for him to eliminate the entire demon army alone.
“The demonic cores are all here,” Lin Langya said with a straight face. “How could I lie? I already did the calculations. They’re worth 22,000 merit points in total.”
“Lin Langya is a genius from the Beast Palace, his status will rise when the news of this spread. To eliminate the army of thousands of demons, his strength must have reached peak stage Spirit Devour Realm.”
“I heard that the demon army has a Seven Stars Destruction Formation. The moment they activate it, even pseudo Transcendence Realm experts would find it hard to survive. Has Lin Langya perhaps reached the Transcendence Realm?”
Everyone was alarmed when they saw the pile of demonic cores, their faces filled with disbelief.
Lin Langya remained expressionless. He stepped forward and said, “Senior Brother Hu Tou, you can give me the merit points now, right?”
“Just a moment. This feat will shock those grand elders at the Inner Peak. In the future, I will be relying on you,” Hu Tou said with a smiling face as he handed Lin Langya a Merit Card with the word 22,000 written on it.
“Not a problem.” Lin Langya smiled. When he turned around, he saw Ye Mo and Miao Miao heading his way. The smile vanished. At the moment, he felt like all the praise the disciples around him were giving were more like insults.
He sped off. The only thing he wanted to do now was to leave the Merit Hall far behind, distancing himself from Ye Mo.
Even after Lin Langya left, the disciples were still talking about him. Ye Mo and Miao Miao had no idea what just happened.
“Hu Tou, we’re here to turn in the mission,” Miao Miao said straightforwardly.
“Senior Sister Miao Miao.” Hu Tou looked for the mission they had accepted. “You and this junior brother had accepted the mission to eliminate the demons that appeared at North Desolate Mountain. Only three demonic cores of Energy Burst Realm or above are sufficient for mission completion. Of course, the more demonic cores you can turn in, the better. You can earn more merit points that way.”
He went on, “Senior Sister Miao Miao, you probably don’t know this yet, but earlier, Lin Langya came with a huge pile of demonic cores of all sizes. All in all, there were over 1,000 demonic cores.”
“What did you just say?” Miao Miao asked in astonishment. “Lin Langya turned in his mission with over 1,000 demonic cores?”
Lin Langya was the thief who stole their demonic cores.
“Yeah. His cultivation’s too powerful.” Hu Tou thought Miao Miao was shocked by Lin Langya’s strength. “I reckon he’s undefeated below the Transcendence Realm. You have never treated him favorably in the past. Now that his cultivation has skyrocketed after ending his seclusion, you should be careful.”
Building a good relationship with each and every disciple was a must for Hu Tou. He didn’t need to cultivate too hard and still didn’t have to worry about getting kicked out of the Door of Desolation. So long as he could maintain a good relationship with the other disciples, he could still do well.
“Damn it. He’s shameless,” Miao Miao raged. She rolled her sleeves up, preparing to go chase after Lin Langya, but Ye Mo pulled her back.
“Senior Sister Miao Miao, forget about it,” he said. “No matter what, his father is the one who helped us drive Mo Hun away. Just consider these demonic cores our thanks for his help.”
Ye Mo smiled before taking three demonic cores from his dimensional bracelet. They were pitch black, with incredibly intense Demonic Power swirling around them. Lin Langya’s pile of demonic cores couldn’t compare to theirs for quality.
“Three Spirit Devour Realm demonic cores,” Ye Mo said. “That’s enough for mission completion, right?”
“Spirit Devour Realm demonic cores?” Hu Tou was shocked. He’d never even seen a Spirit Devour Realm demonic core. Those Asura Palace disciples were something else.
When the disciples around them saw Ye Mo’s cores, they started exchanging gazes. Killing Spirit Devour Realm demons was a remarkable feat.
Moreover, both of these Asura Palace disciples had yet to reach Spirit Devour Realm themselves, but together they were able to kill three Spirit Devour Realm demons.
The appearance of the three demonic cores was enough to cause all the disciples present to start picturing the scene of Ye Mo and Miao Miao baiting and killing the demons, with Miao Miao in charge of seduction while Ye Mo ambushed the demons. It was a thrilling scene, in everyone’s imagination.
“Three demonic cores for 30,000 merit points.” Hu Tou quickly recovered from his shock. As the person in charge of Door of Desolation missions, he had been shocked too many times. In comparison, Miao Miao and Ye Mo ambushing and killing some Spirit Devour Realm demons wasn’t too special.
If Hu Tou found out that all three of the demons had actually been killed by Ye Mo alone, he would probably still freak out.
After receiving his Merit Card, Ye Mo tossed it to Miao Miao and said, “Senior sister, I’ll keep my Merit Card at your place.”
“I’ll take care of it for you,” Miao Miao said. “When you need to accept new missions, I’ll give it back to you. You’re at the early stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. Remember to stabilize your cultivation properly. Your speed of growth has been too scary.”
When Ye Mo first arrived at the Asura Palace, he was only at early-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm. It had only been three days and he had reached early-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. It was an unbelievable speed, as if some expert was forcibly pushing his cultivation up. But such cultivation was essentially unstable and lacking in actual strength. Miao Miao was scared that Ye Mo’s future cultivation would be adversely affected by his quick advancement now.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Miao Miao,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll spend some time at Asura Palace to stabilize my cultivation.”
In the following month, Ye Mo spent his time cultivating in peace. Each day, apart from his training with Mao Mao, he waited at the Outer Peak, hoping to see Xiao Yue leaving the Inner Peak.
But even after a month, Ye Mo had yet to catch a glimpse of Xiao Yue. Miao Miao saw through what he was doing.
Seeing Ye Mo’s expectant expression, Miao Miao sighed. That junior brother of his was too loyal to love, even if the target of his infatuation was a genius of the Inner Peak.
Time passed slowly, and finally, the time for the Desolate Ancient World trial arrived.
The disciples of all six palaces headed toward the Outer Peak. They gathered at the largest public square there.
Following Miao Miao, Mao Mao, and Taiyi Qinglian’s lead, Ye Mo arrived in the middle of the public square.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment Ye Mo arrived, the disciples of the other five Daos all focused their gazes on him.
Ye Mo was the only disciple the Asura Palace had accepted in the past 50 years, and now he would be taking part in the Desolate Ancient World trial on behalf of the Asura Palace.
Many genius disciples were curious about him, all leaving their secluded cultivations to take a good look at who exactly that Ye Mo was.
