The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1135 - 1136: Mother and Son Converse

In no time, Ye Mo saw a treasure cauldron at the top of the mountain, which was gathering surrounding energy at an incredibly terrifying speed. Sitting on top of it was a young woman, appearing to be around sixteen.

This woman looked somewhat similar to Ye Mo, her entire being exuding a majestic aura that seemed to merge with space and time, possessing the demeanor of a superior.

Especially notable was the subtle fluctuation of her spiritual energy, clearly surpassing the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, but not yet reaching the Divine Venerate Realm. This stage is often termed as Half Honor, and any martial artist who can advance to Half Honor, will inevitably ascend to Divine Venerate.

Undoubtedly, this young woman was none other than Zi Ning.

"Mo’er!"

Sensing someone approaching, Zi Ning stopped cultivating, her eyes visibly excited. She didn’t speak but waited for Ye Mo’s answer.

"Mother, look at this!"

Ye Mo took out the Genius Badge and waved it in front of Zi Ning.

"The Genius Badge?"

Zi Ning’s eyes lit up, her voice trembling: "Mo’er, you really won the Lingwu Genius Battle crown. This is the Genius Badge, a legacy of the Heavenly King Fojiang. Only the top genius of the Lingwu Continent is qualified to possess it. If you can comprehend its mysteries, you will undoubtedly become the first and astonish the entire continent."

The Genius Badge has been passed down from generation to generation; even a genius like Mu Longwu Tomb Feather Wave could not comprehend it. If Ye Mo can fathom its mysteries, he indeed will shock the entire continent.

"Mother, don’t worry, I won’t let you down."

Ye Mo said, then took out a Dragon Essence and stated: "Mother, this is the Dragon Essence I snatched from the Evil Dragon in the Dragon Gorge Abyss. Take it to help you breakthrough to the Divine Venerate Realm."

Seeing the Dragon Essence in Ye Mo’s hand, Zi Ning’s face immediately showed shock: "Mo’er, you indeed entered the Dragon Gorge Abyss and killed the Evil Dragon. It’s unbelievable. If I consume this Dragon Essence, I will definitely ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm. Then, our status will truly be unshakable."

"Mother, now that I’ve won the Lingwu Genius Battle, is there anyone in the clan who still poses a threat to us?"

Ye Mo listened to Zi Ning’s serious tone and couldn’t help becoming solemn.

He understood that "the taller the tree, the more wind it catches"; currently, he was at his peak in the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, surely inciting displeasure from some.

"Have you forgotten Elder Zixing from the Punishment Chambers? He has a number of elders supporting him. I imagine it won’t be long before they come to find us, wanting to force us to become their puppets."

"Oh?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Ye Mo’s heart stirred.

"Previously, the old fellows secretly supported Zi Aotian. After you killed Zi Aotian, their attention turned to us. Yet, Ancestor Zi Xuantong holds you in high regard, so they dare not act. However, they are calculating the time, knowing Ancestor’s end is near, they will surely make a move against us. Be very careful both within the clan and outside."

Zi Ning explained everything to Ye Mo, letting him know his situation was still very dangerous. Though he earned the honor as Lingwu Continent’s number-one genius, the elders behind the scenes still wish to control him.

"Mother, who are these people? If I find out, capturing them and executing them might be best."

Such tumors should be eradicated early on.

"Mo’er, this concerns the conflict between the second-generation ancestors, it’s best you remain uninformed. Anyway, with your Dragon Essence, I can immediately ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm. At that time, even a master with the Divine Venerable Three Souls won’t be a match for your mother. Those old folks in the family wanting to secretly control us won’t find it easy."

Zi Ning said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo frowned. He had heard of this from Ancestor Zi Xuantong’s mouth; it was the outbreak of conflict between two generations of ancestors leading to Zi Xuan’s parents’ death. The opposing faction’s second-generation ancestors were imprisoned in Prison Dragon Pagoda. Though Ancestor ended the civil war, secret struggles still exist between factions, with the Clan Leader position in play.

The aim is to nurture a puppet Clan Leader to fully control the speech rights of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

"Don’t worry, Mother."

Ye Mo said.

"Good, I will now prepare for the final breakthrough. Once I’m in the Divine Venerate Realm, let’s see who dares to harm my child."

Saying this, Zi Ning spread her fingers; a storm swept across the mountain, and Ye Mo immediately felt an overwhelming force. Only then did he realize the vast difference between himself and his mother.

"Isn’t this Elder Zi Ning and our Lingwu Continent’s genius? They’re both here, saving me the effort."

Just when Ye Mo was about to leave, Zixing’s figure appeared from the distance and then landed before Ye Mo and Zi Ning, saying: "Ye Mo, congratulations on becoming Lingwu Continent’s top genius."

"Elder Zixing, you don’t come to the Hall of Three Treasures without a reason, speak your mind quickly."

Ye Mo gave Zixing no face whatsoever.

"Insolent!"

An angry yell echoed, Zixing furiously retorted: "Ye Mo, what kind of attitude is this? I’ve come in good faith to congratulate you, but you’re so unappreciative."

"Elder Zixing, the Elders Council members just came to greet me; you were among them. Now you come to congratulate me again. I dislike beating around the bush, so please be direct."

Ye Mo said flatly.

"Ye Mo, do you recall killing Zi Aotian?"

Zixing suddenly asked.

"Just a worthless waste, so what? You want to bring up old issues? Even Ancestor didn’t punish me."

Ye Mo replied coldly.

"Ye Mo, killing Zi Aotian may be one thing, but you disrupted the third-generation ancestor’s plan. Ancestor Zi Shan is gracious; if you and Elder Zi Ning comply with him, he’ll let bygones be bygones. You should be aware that among the third generation, aside from Zi Xuan, Zi Shan Ancestor is paramount. Offend Zi Shan Ancestor, and you know the consequences."

"Killing a worthless waste could disrupt Zi Shan Ancestor’s plan? I am not sure what consequences you speak of. Do you want to kill Mo’er? He’s right in front of you, try it."

Zi Ning showed Zixing no respect; with Dragon Essence at hand, she would soon ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm, and even if Zi Shan Ancestor raged, she wouldn’t fear.

"Arrogant!"

Zixing hadn’t expected Zi Ning to speak to him like this, angering him greatly: "Zi Ning, don’t think your son winning the Lingwu Genius Battle means you can be so pompous. When Ancestor is gone, I’ll see where your arrogance leads."

"Looking for death!"

Two incredibly powerful Dragon Soul Profound Qi beams gathered in Zi Ning’s hand, piercing through the void and striking Zixing’s body instantly. Zixing retreated, blood spraying, showing an expression of disbelief.

"Zi Ning, you’ve reached Half Honor strength?"

Zixing was astonished, able to sense Zi Ning’s attack containing spiritual attacks. Zi Ning could defeat him at Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations, but not so easily.
