Chapter 243: Body of Gold

Following Hong Ying’s lead, Ye Mo took a dragon boat towards the center of the mirror lake. The boat rhythmically followed a designated route under Hong Ying’s command.

Arriving at the mirror lake center, Ye Mo stepped ashore with Hong Ying as he examined the Wei’e Tower.

The whole tower gave off a solemn, mysterious aura.

Ye Mo had come here once before but did not enter the tower. Elite league members getting to enjoy a tower like this to themselves really highlighted how rich the Qingyun League was.

The two of them entered the tower.

Inside the tower, Ye Mo discovered that the décor was even more amazing. Unlike the tower of the Xiao residence, there were large pillars of vibrant, almost crystal-like colors inside.

Hong Ying brought Ye Mo straight to the second level.

“Ye Mo, Sister Yao Yue is inside. Go ahead!” Hong Ying said to Ye Mo after bringing him to a training room.

“Many thanks.”

After that, Ye Mo knocked on the door. A familiar voice could be heard from inside. The voice was the same one that he had heard in the Spirit Cave, particularly pleasing to the ear but carrying a feeling that it wanted to distance itself far away from others.

“Hong Ying, what’s the matter?”

“Sister Yao Yue, Ye Mo is here beside me.”

“Let him leave. I’m leaving the Qingyun League tomorrow, I don’t want to see anyone.” Yao Yue’s voice could be heard from the inside again.

“Yao Yue, I am here today to thank you for helping me out over the Legal Division incident. If you are not free to see me, then I shall not disturb you as well.”

After he spoke, Ye Mo turned around and prepared to leave.

Following that, Yao Yue’s voice was heard again. “Come in!”

Ye Mo’s heart skipped a beat. Pushing open the training room door, Ye Mo went straight in.

Entering the training room, Ye Mo saw Yao Yue in the middle of it, her Holy Snow Sword sheathed on her back.

“Are you only here to thank me?” Yao Yue mumbled as she saw Ye Mo enter.

“Indeed. However, I also have a question. Sister Yao Yue, you have already topped the Qingyun ranking, so why leave the Qingyun League? Don’t you want to become a chief elect? Based on your talents, you will make the breakthrough to the True Energy Realm sooner or later and become a chief elect of the Qingyun League and receive recognition from the league chiefs,” Ye Mo asked, confused.

“Do you know that Song Yang’s death has already alerted the Emperor and that the league masters of the Qingyun League are taking this opportunity to unsettle the balance of power between the three major leagues?” asked Yao Yue.

“I heard from my master. However, this is an issue concerning the higher ups – this should have nothing to do with us league members.”

“Wrong, completely wrong. The Emperor is trying to kill the progress of us fighters for the sake of his own powers. Since the establishment of the Tianwu Kingdom, a Transcendence Realm fighter appears once every decade. However, there are currently fewer and fewer Transcendence Realm fighters. Do you know why?”

“I do not, and I seek your explanation.” Ye Mo’s heart trembled as he could not help but ask.

“In order to reach the Transcendence Realm, one has to combine with a Transcendence Golden Body. Every Transcendence Realm fighter produces a Transcendence Golden Body as they decline as well. However, for the sake of improving his own training, the Emperor collects all the Transcendence Golden Bodies, causing numerous Spirit Devour Realm fighters to be unable to make the breakthrough,” Yao Yue said calmly.

“What? In order to reach the Transcendence Realm, one has to combine with the Transcendence Golden Body? What exactly is this Golden Body?”

It was the first time that Ye Mo heard something like that – what exactly was going on in the Transcendence Realm?

“The Transcendence Golden Body, simply put, is a magical treasure. If a fighter cultivates it successfully, he or she will be able to further raise their level of training, making the breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm with the help of the Transcendence Skyline. Successfully cultivating the Transcendence Golden Body will allow one to break free of the shackles of the human body, allowing one to absorb spiritual powers of nature and unlocking infinite strength.”

As Yao Yue spoke, a hint of a sparkle could be seen in her eyes as well.

“Sister Yao Yue, I understand now.”

Yao Yue and Ling’er shared the same view – the Emperor was eliminating the strength of fighters for the sake of his own powers.

“Don’t you think that my theory is rather rebellious?” Yao Yue, coming back to her sense, could not help but ask.

“Haha, if you knew what I was thinking, then you would know for what ‘rebellious’ really means.” Ye Mo laughed out loud, then said calmly, “There is no point of talking too much now, let’s just continue training hard. I know you are not a normal person, and you perhaps have a strong authority backing you. However, it will not be easy to overturn the rule of the Emperor,. Don’t die before I successfully become one of the strongest in the Tianwu Kingdom. Your life belongs to me.”

Perhaps the masters of the Qingyun League wanted to destroy the balance of power and overturn the Emperor’s control. A safe and prosperous kingdom was naturally a good thing, but fighters were forever unable to progress purely due to the Emperor’s powers alone.

Transcendence Realm fighters were strong, but there were definitely even stronger realms above it.

Fighters should not stagnate at the Transcendence Realm – a fighter should train to the highest level that his heart desired!

Ye Mo even believed that fighters could train to the level of invincibility, to the extent of having spiritual powers breaking free of the restraints of the human body and strength powerful enough to compete against the gods.

Leaving the mirror lake, Ye Mo sighed. It turned out that plenty of fighters were already aware of the Emperor’s sinister plan.

Returning to the Divine Wing Pavilion, Elder Feng saw Ye Mo deep in thought and could not help but say, “Looks like Yao Yue told you some things.”

“Yes. Elder Feng, you knew about this all along?”

“Haha, this is exactly the reason why I sent you to find her. You are greatly talented and will definitely be destined to overtake my existence. If we were to overthrow the rule of the Emperor, your powers will definitely be needed,” Elder Feng said in a serious as he patted Ye Mo on the shoulder..

“Master, what is Yao Yue’s identity exactly?” Ye Mo asked anxiously.

“I will tell you when you become a chief elect.”

“Alright then!”

“Since becoming my disciple, as your master, I have only taught you the technique of stepping on air. I still have an offensive and defensive technique to teach you. When you master both techniques, you will probably have reached the True Energy Realm already.”

As he spoke, Elder Feng waved his arm, and with a whoosh, the roar of a sword could be heard from afar. A green giant sword flew into the hand of Elder Feng.

This green giant sword had a wide body and waves of aura surrounding it.

This was the spirit weapon the Gale Demonslayer Saber!

“Disciple, use your strongest attack against me!”

Elder Feng was ultimately still a fighter in the Transcendence Realm, hence Ye Mo naturally did not have to worry about hurting him. Forming a dragon spear in his hand, he enshrouded himself with killing intent and the killing instinct slowly accumulated and absorbed into Ye Mo’s body.

Cracks already formed under his feet as a strong aura could be felt. However, not a trace of energy could be felt in Ye Mo’s body at all.

“Eh?”

Surprised, Elder Feng could not help but ask, “Don’t tell me, you discovered a new technique?”

Following that, Ye Mo turned into nothing but a shadow, aggressively charging towards him, stabbing towards him with both hands clutching the dragon spear.

Ding!

The spearhead directly hit the back of the Gale Demonslayer Saber, with all of its aura dissipated, piercing through the air in a devastating fashion.

However, Ye Mo was unable to move at all. Following that, a huge wave of energy came pouring at him.

Ye Mo staggered back multiple steps. The shiny heel of a knife was held above his throat.

“Disciple, the technique that I just used is only an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm attack,” Elder Feng said calmly as he withdrew the Gale Demonslayer Saber.

“How is this possible? I can defeat an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighter with a single blow. Master, how did you defeat me with a single Energy Shaping Sixth Realm attack? Furthermore, I was using my strongest attack – the Will of the Chu Killing Spear!”
