The tenth district had plenty of castellans who sensed the changes to the Thousand City Ranking.

“Darn it. What’s going on? That kid in the Transcendence Ninth Realm is Ye Mo, and that woman is called Yao Yue. Why does a nobody like Ye Mo have so many demon crystals? I can’t believe that he managed to collect 2000 crystals. With his strength level, how is it possible for him to get so many demon crystals?”

At one corner of the mountain range, Fan Yi, head covered in blood, had just finished killing a beast in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm. He erupted in fury.

There were plenty of castellans in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm alongside him. They were all castellans from either the Zone of Chaos or the Chaotic Devil City. They were all friends of Fan Yi. To put it clearly, they were part of a castellan alliance with Fan Yi as the leader.

These castellans were all in the initial stage of the Heaven Profound Realm. They were far stronger than Ye Mo, but didn’t have a place in the rankings. Instead, it was Ye Mo who was able to rise in the rankings with strength in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.

It was completely impossible.

But it happened. The proof was right there on the Thousand City List.

This situation almost caused Fan Yi to cough out a mouthful of blood. Ye Mo being able to escape from his grasp was already enough to infuriate him. Now that he’d managed to get his name up on the rankings… Fan Yi stared at Ye Mo’s name with nothing in his mind besides killing him and taking the Devil Refining Gourd and the Sky Blood Spear.

“Castellan Fan Yi, is that the kid you’re after?”

A bald man – evidently a castellan- asked the man with a sunken expression. He said, “But, given the size of the tenth district, it’ll be extremely difficult to find his location. Why don’t we move together and kill him now?”

“Find him – we have to find him and kill him before the first stage of the competition ends. Otherwise, there will be trouble if he enters the second stage of the competition and advances to the Profound World Realm.”

Fan Yi started to calm down at this point. He realized that there was no point in being angry. At the moment, finding Ye Mo and taking his two treasures was of the utmost importance.

When everyone saw Fan Yi’s forced calm, they knew that Ye Mo must have really infuriated the castellan.

“Luo Lin, I heard that you have the Horoscope Divination Technique, which gives you telekinetic powers and lets you deduce positions of good and bad auras,” Fan Yi said to the bald man, Luo Lin. “Can you find Ye Mo’s location?”

“Castellan Fan Yi, if a few of you can offer me some assistance, I may be able to find Ye Mo’s location,” Luo Lin replied calmly.

“Alright!”

The few other castellans roared in unison.

“I need every one of you to reach specific locations in the tenth district. The ten of us will position ourselves in a way that we’ll be able to cover the whole area. Then, all of you make use of your telepathic powers to communicate with me, and we’ll form a mental network web, which will be big enough to cover the whole area. After that, we’ll be able to locate Ye Mo easily.”

“Alright, I’ll need everyone’s help now.”

After that, the ten shadows shot outwards in all directions.

At that moment, Ye Mo was trying to find Yao Yue – with such a huge space, it wasn’t going to be easy trying to find a specific person.

Flying over a mountain range, he saw another huge group of beasts on the ground. But they were all in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heavens Realm. A beast of that level wasn’t something Ye Mo could deal with.

“Unless I advance to the Profound World Realm, I’m afraid that those beasts will be able to kill me easily.”

Ye Mo looked at the beasts with a degree of regret in his heart, then flew onward and landed at a cave entrance.

“What is that? A mark?” Ye Mo suddenly saw a shadow flash by – the shadow was extremely quick, like a clear breeze of wind. Then he saw was a gigantic arrowhead on one cave wall.

“Don’t tell me that’s Little Yao?”

But Ye Mo dismissed such an idea. With Yao Yue’s personality, she wouldn’t behave in such a suspicious manner.

“Brother Ye Mo, follow the shadow,” Ling’er said. “Since this person is signaling for you to go over, I don’t think that he or she will hurt you.”

Ye Mo nodded his head in agreement. Without saying anything, he tracked the path of the arrow. After a few moments, Ye Mo reached a dead end – the top of a cliff. There was no way out.

“Who are you?” Ye Mo looked around and looked up in the sky, but didn’t see anyone.

“Ye Xiao, congratulations on passing the second test.” The voice seemed to come from every direction at once. Ye Mo couldn’t tell where it was coming from. “Here are the six drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood, as promised by the leader. There are still 12 drops of the blood – whether you’ll be able to fight your way into the top ten of the Thousand City Ranking depends on you.”

A transparent bottle dropped down from the sky and fell into his hands.

“6 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood?” Ye Mo looked at the blood drops in the bottle, his heart filled with excitement.

Even so, he knew that the purpose of him being tested was to nurture him. Passing the third round of tests could perhaps lead to the merchant house head allowing him to become the so-called Dragon Slaughterer.

“Ye Mo, that mysterious leader is perhaps a big figure in the Chaos Palace,” Hong Ling reminded him. “You have to be careful. She may be going to all this effort to cultivate you, but you’re ultimately still a chess piece to her. The moment you lose your value, she’ll have no reason to keep you around.”

“Her movements have been so mysterious,” Ling’er added. “She must be planning some huge scheme. This may involve the safety of the whole country.”

“Don’t worry about me, I won’t be easily controlled by others. Right now, increasing my strength level is of the utmost importance.”

Ye Mo found a location and started to make the breakthrough to the Profound World Realm. With the current situation, the moment he made the breakthrough to the Profound World Realm, he was going to take the 6000 Demon Crystals he needed without any hesitation.

Of the 6 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood, Ye Mo only used 4 drops – 4 drops would be enough for him to advance to the Profound World Realm.

As for the remaining two drops, he was planning to give them to Yao Yue and Xiao Cao.

Ye Mo infused the 4 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood. A frightening amount of strength poured into the Rising Dragon Pillars.

He had started his charge up to the Profound World Realm!

Unleashing the Zhu Deity Magical Formation, the Four Spiritual Monkeys appeared at the same time, causing earth-shattering changes. Inside the formation, the monkeys seemingly started to collapse, regenerate, collapse, and regenerate once again.

The Four Spiritual Monkeys were being regenerated. But the more frightening thing was that the Zhu Deity Magical Formation’s seal texts started to fuse within Ye Mo’s Heart.

Prepared to generate the Profound Mark at all times, using the Zhu Deity Seal Text to do so was simply unfathomable.

Behind him, a series of ancient images appeared. It was the Will of the Deity – one could only wonder how many legendary fighters were born from this plane.

Following the rise in his realm level, Ye Mo scrutinized all the seal texts generated in his Heart, one by one. They were all ancient deity techniques.

But Ye Mo was unable to utilize these deity techniques. Displaying these techniques required deity powers – without those powers, he couldn’t use any of the techniques.

While Ye Mo’s Shadow Dragon Powers was a genuine deity power, it had yet to be awakened to its true strength – it had the might of a deity power, but not the strength of one.
