Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 601: Why Are You So Good to Him—When I Was Here First

Chapter 601: Why Are You So Good to Him—When I Was Here First

Song Zhenfei exclaimed, “It really is a submarine volcano!”

“This island has a submarine volcano. Its value immediately jumps to the highest grade!”

Clicking his tongue in amazement, he added, “You have to understand, these submarine volcanoes in the Tiannan Archipelago have accumulated spiritual essence for tens of thousands of years.”

“This one clearly hasn’t been touched. There must be pure earth flame essence inside.”

“Daoist Shen, you’ve hit the jackpot!”

Unable to resist, he gave a thumbs-up. “I thought you were just picking at random. Who would've thought? What a stroke of fate!”

Shen Mo chuckled. “It was just a passing feeling—I didn’t expect this either.”

Song Zhenfei laughed heartily, sincerely happy for Shen Mo.

Seeing that Shi Tianhao had no visible reaction, he teased, “Brother Shi, why so quiet?”

Shi Tianhao quickly masked the cold glint in his eyes and joined in with a hearty laugh. “Congratulations! Daoist Shen, you’ve picked a great spot!”

“This place isn’t far from my Qiu Long Island. We should stay in touch.”

Shen Mo smiled. “That sounds excellent.”

Seeing Shen Mo and Shi Tianhao getting along so well, Song Zhenfei was even more pleased.

“This little island still doesn’t have a name. Daoist Shen, why don’t you name it?”

“Once you decide, I’ll report it. When the island master’s token arrives, you’ll officially be the Island Master of Canglong Island.”

Shen Mo nodded lightly. After a moment of thought, he said, “Let’s call it Qingxuan Island.”

“Excellent name!” Song Zhenfei nodded repeatedly in approval.

“Daoist Shen, I’ll return to Liuyun Island now. A group of cultivators and servants will arrive shortly.”

“I’ll handle the construction of your cave residence.”

Shen Mo clasped his hands with a smile. “Then I shall gratefully accept your kindness.”

Though he could have built it himself, it would’ve just been digging out a cavern in a mountain—rough and basic.

Since Song Zhenfei was willing to assist, he certainly wouldn’t decline.

Shi Tianhao, witnessing their growing closeness, burned with jealousy inside.

Why is Song Zhenfei so good to him?

I was here first.

…

A few days later.

A grand, antiquated palace was fully established on Qingxuan Island.

Cultivation chambers, alchemy rooms, scripture pavilions, training fields…

All facilities were complete and well-crafted.

Even Shen Mo couldn’t find a single flaw.

After the cultivators had departed, Shen Mo personally set up large-scale formations around the island.

Spirit-gathering formations, spirit-guiding formations, mist arrays, and sword-aura formations.

All of these were essential.

No one wants their cultivation methods laid bare for others to see.

Only after finishing all this did Shen Mo finally relax.

He took three irregular pieces of earth flame essence from his storage ring and handed them to the Jiu You Ice Flame, Sun Essence Flame, and Everlasting Flame.

Earth flame essence could accelerate the burning of Dharma Aspects.

These were harvested from the submarine volcano beneath Qingxuan Island.

Shen Mo had only taken a portion.

Deeper inside the volcano’s belly, more remained.

By his estimate, there was enough to sustain his cultivation up to thirty dao markings.

After that, Shen Mo retrieved a stone tablet.

The dragon script on its surface twisted and curved like tiny dragons dancing.

Looking at it gave one a headache.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t understand it at all—and might even go astray.

But with Shen Mo’s comprehension, just a few glances allowed him to vaguely make out a few characters.

Given enough time, he was certain he could unravel the secrets of the Platinum Dragon Fist.

“I left Guzhou so suddenly, without saying goodbye… I wonder how Master and the others are doing now…”

After studying for a while, Shen Mo looked up, a touch of sentiment in his expression.

At the same time.

Southern Sky Archipelago, Taiping Sea Region.

Above a calm stretch of sea, a flock of seabirds glided leisurely, diving now and then to catch shrimp and fish.

Suddenly, a flash of light streaked across the sky.

A figure appeared out of thin air, almost plunging headfirst into the sea.

Fortunately, he reacted in time.

Before his face hit the water, he steadied himself midair.

The figure was a cold-faced, handsome young man.

Even with his face just an inch from the dark sea’s surface, there was no change in his expression.

The young man took a deep breath and quietly marveled.

“So this is the Greater Heaven and Earth?”

“The concentration of spiritual energy is indeed far beyond that of Guzhou Heaven and Earth.”

This person was Ye Yan.

Earlier, while repairing a spatial skimmer, he had stumbled upon an injured void spirit beast.

Void spirit beasts are born in the void, raised in the void—gentle-natured, akin to herbivores of the void.

After Ye Yan healed it, the beast recognized him as its master.

He then hid within its body to travel through the void.

But the void is chaotic by nature—even someone with great fortune can encounter calamity at any moment.

Ye Yan was swept away by a void tide and flung far from his original path.

The void beast was gravely wounded.

So Ye Yan simply abandoned it and continued on with his half-ruined skimmer.

Fortunately, his luck did come through.

Though perilous, his journey was smooth in the end.

Eventually, he discovered a void vortex.

After passing through it, he arrived here.

Just then, two voices echoed in his mind.

Lin Dongtian sneered, “The Greater Heaven and Earth is also called Shengxuan Heaven and Earth. We’ve finally made it here. That Shen Mo guy is probably still grinding away in Guzhou Heaven and Earth.”

Xiao Fan said calmly, “Shen Mo must still be comprehending the power of the void. It will take him a long time before he has the chance to cross the void.”

Ye Yan smiled faintly. “Whether a spatial skimmer or a void spirit beast, neither are things an ordinary person could obtain.”

“Shen Mo may have slightly better talent, but his fortune is mediocre.”

“He has no choice but to pour everything into comprehending the power of the void.”

“By the time he barely gains the ability to cross it, I’ll already have stepped into the Nirvana Realm.”

Lin Dongtian and Xiao Fan both nodded in agreement.

Xiao Fan said in a low voice, “Don’t forget your promise—once the opportunity arises, you must kill him.”

“As long as you kill him, I’ll assist you in cultivation.”

Ye Yan nodded slightly.

At present, the souls of Lin Dongtian, Xiao Fan, and Lin Hu all resided within his body.

Even cultivating in soul form, they could still enhance his strength.

But he couldn’t control any of the three.

The best way forward was to help them fulfill their wishes—achieving mutual benefit through cooperation.

“Even if you didn’t remind me, I intend to kill him myself.”

Ye Yan said solemnly, “I’ve been suppressed by Shen Mo for too long. But now, I’ve arrived in Shengxuan Heaven and Earth.”

“In this vast world, without Shen Mo holding me down, my potential is limitless!”

“Nirvana Realm, here I come!”

A sharp gleam flashed in Ye Yan’s eyes. He picked a direction and soared away.

Before long, a large island came into view.

Cultivators moved busily across it—it was bustling and prosperous.

Ye Yan casually stopped a female cultivator to ask for information.

His handsome face and cold demeanor made it easy to leave a good impression.

The woman quickly told him everything she knew.

Ye Yan mused, “So this is the Southern Sky Archipelago, Taiping Sea Region, and this is Taiping Island.”

“The only dominant power in the Taiping Sea Region is the Blood Sun Sword Sect.”

“Looks like if I want to cultivate here, I’ll need to join the Blood Sun Sword Sect.”
