“Hisss … … hiss … …”
The sound of Zuo Mo inhaling could be clearly heard. As he ran around, he waved his hand. “Nothing … … hiss … … nothing!”
Lil’ Fire found it fun and seemed to mimic his speech. “Chirp chirp … … chirp … … chirp chirp!” Zuo Mo glared angrily. Lil’ Fire was frightened and its body froze in the air.
“… … hiss … …” Zuo Mo inhaled again. His expression of fury instantly dissipated. His expression was very strange as he started to jumped around in a hurry. Lil’ Fire recovered from fright and thought that Zuo Mo was playing with it. It chirped happily as it leapt over and hung on behind Zuo Mo.
Wei Sheng was helpless against Shidi’s weirdness. He shook his head and left.
Zuo Mo knew that if he was thrown out of the Wasteland Beast Chessboard, his consciousness would probably be injured, but he had not expected his consciousness injury to be so painful! If he had known, he definitely would not have done this “dumb thing.” It had been too long since he was last injured. Zuo Mo had almost forgotten the pain of consciousness injuries. This time, it really was so painful he wanted to die!
The damned Little Red!
Wait for ge, ge will return!
As he breathed in jerks, Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and swore an oath.

Several black figures passed by like lightning, and several sharp edges criss-crossed in the air before suddenly appearing on the fiend soul beast. The fiend soul beast was instantly dismembered, and leaving behind only a black fang and a bead.
The fang and the bead were put away. The hardship guards had joyful expressions.
At this time, the expression of one of the people shifted. “Gathering orders! Back to the camp, immediately!” The other people quickly disappeared in the fiendish mist without another word.
In the Guard campgrounds, Shu Long looked at everyone who had finished gathering and was very comforted. Everyone’s improvement in this time had been great and unexpected to him. All of the Hardship Guards that cultivated [Hardship Guard] had formed their weapons. He had originally predicted they would need one or two years and had not expected it to be complete in less than a month.
He was filled with respect and awe towards the mystery daren inside the necklace. In his view, that daren could do anything! It was the guidance of this daren in this recent while that caused everyone to all finish forming their weapons. All of the cultivation regimes had been personally prescribed by the mystery daren. In this short month, the power of the entire Guard Camp had multiplied!
His thoughts were interrupted by the gazes of those below him. He focused and said in a deep voice, “In this recent while, everyone has cultivated successfully and finished forming the weapons! Good! Very good!”
Shu Long’s praise caused the hardship guards below to raised their heads and puff up their chests, their faces bright. Shu Long had a warm personality, but he was extremely stern when he supervised their cultivation. Everyone felt honored to receive his praise and were very proud.
The expressions of everyone landing in his eyes, the corners of Shu Long’s mouth imperceptibly smiled. He then said in a serious tone, “In order to commend everyone’s recent efforts, Daren has passed down new cultivation techniques.”
Everyone below instantly had joy and anticipation on their faces.
“Everyone has to work hard on this [Great Day Hardship Guard]. Its power is even greater! I won’t say much but only when our strength becomes strong can we give our service to Daren, to be able to protect Daren! Does everyone still remember the oath we took in the past?”
Woosh, everyone simultaneously bowed, and said together, “Do not dare to forget!”
Every hardship guard had excitement on their faces!
———
“You are too daring.” Wei’s expression was at ease as though he was narrating a small non-descript matter. “It is not so easy to modify a mo skill.”
“You feel guilty,” Pu Yao said coldly. There was no warmth in his bloody pupil.
“What do I feel guilty for?” Wei’s voice did not ripple at all.
Pu Yao smirked, his expression filled with scorn. “You definitely regret saying so much that day. You did not expect that I would deduce so much from your scattered rambling.”
“Yes, this point is unexpected to me.” Wei openly nodded. “Your skill in yao arts surpasses my imagination. A yao who is able to change mo skills using yao arts. I cannot accomplish this.”
“Of course you cannot do it.” Pu Yao was not modest at all.
Wei smiled slightly, and his star like eyes were bright. “Your theoretical level is definitely the most outstanding that I have ever seen but you lack experience. Spells, yao arts, mo skills, they do come from a common root, but after so many years of development, the divisions are clear. No matter if it is yao arts or mo skills, they have developed far on their own paths.”
Pu Yao lowered his head to think for a moment. When he raised his head, the scorn on his face had disappeared. He said seriously, “Your words are not wrong. My yao art theory and knowledge are based on the experience of those before me. These are my fundamentals, but I lack the fundamentals of mo skills.”
“A very clear awareness,” Wei calmly praised.
“Your conditions,” Pu Yao glanced at Wei and said coldly.
“A complete Golden Soul.” Wei raised a finger.
“Half.” Pu Yao shook his head.
“Agreed.” Wei unhesitantly nodded.
He knew that even if he did not tell Pu Yao, with Pu Yao’s talents, it would not be difficult to study and come to understand. He only needed to find some experimental subjects and make comparisons to come to the conclusion. Righteous Yao might not use these kinds of extreme methods, but for someone who was insane like Pu Yao, there was nothing that he would not do.
Also, Wei’s original intention was not to gain something from this transaction. He hoped that this was a good beginning.
No matter if it was against Pu Yao or Zuo Mo, this was extremely important as those that cultivated [Great Day Hardship Guard] were Zuo Mo’s subordinates.
Wei was clear to the contents of the [Great Day Hardship Guard] that Pu Yao had modified using the Great Day mo physique. Pu Yao had not concealed any part of the process from him. He was also clear about the problems of the [Great Day Hardship Guard]. Truthfully, Pu Yao had shocked him greatly.
A yao that modified a mo skill. He had never heard of such a thing in his past. More crucially, the [Great Day Hardship Guard] that Pu Yao had modified had an extremely high level skill. If this mo skill was thrown into the mo world, it definitely would become a mo skill that would be passed down in a clan.
Wei was also clear that if he wanted to do anything, he needed to first prove his value. Because he had a practical “landlord.”
He did not conceal anything, and proactively discussed with Pu Yao to make this mo skill even more complete. Pu Yao also saw Wei in a different light. Existences such as armor spirits might accumulate large amounts of knowledge because they had long lifespans but they were not necessarily outstanding in terms of intelligence.
But Wei showed how he was different compared to normal armor spirits. He did not just have a wealth of knowledge, he also had outstanding intelligence. This completely upended Pu Yao’s understanding of armor spirits. He was slightly curious. The origins of this false gentleman didn’t seem to be small.
No matter how much of a biased opinion Pu Yao had towards Wei, the discussion went extremely smooth. These two geniuses quickly found synergy.
A completely new [Great Day Hardship Guard] came out of the stove.
When the skill was completed, Pu Yao and Wei exchanged a look and found the anticipations in each other’s eyes.
This completely new mo art, with the [Hardship Guard] as the foundation and merging the Great Day mo physique as well as Pu Yao’s yao arts, what heights would this reach?
This was really worthy
of anticipating!
———
The next morning when Zuo Mo work up, he found that the wounded consciousness that had caused him so much pain, had healed.
Hm, what happened?
Zuo Mo jumped up. He touched around and found that there was no pain. He hurriedly inspected his body. Had something new occurred inside his body?
Calming down, he entered his inner perspective.
He was completely shocked by the scene in front of him!
Chapter 391: Great Mo Physique
The flame seed inside Zuo Mo’s body tinged with gold flickered. These golden flames had extremely unique shapes. They seemed to be like overlapping waves, layered together. There were more than five layers. The color of each layer was different. The innermost layer was almost transparent, and the outermost layer was pure dazzling golden yellow. They burned silently.
Zuo Mo suddenly recalled his Golden Crow Fire seed. He hurried to look and his expression changed slightly. The Golden Crow Fire had disappeared without a trace. Golden Crow Fire was a fourth-grade flame and it could completely fulfill any of his present demands. It could melt gold and iron easily, and was one of Zuo Mo’s greatest assistants. Its sudden disappearance instantly made Zuo Mo slightly panicked.
A thought suddenly jumped into his mind.
Had some new change happened to the Golden Crow Fire?
His thoughts shifted, and the layered flame changed as expected. Pew, large amounts of layered flame suddenly erupted out of Zuo Mo’s palm and formed a hand of fire. Zuo Mo curiously put his hand in front of him. The boundaries between the layers of the golden layered flame were extremely clear. It exuded an astonishing heat but his palm was as cold as ice.
Zuo Mo found it interesting and his counsciousness burrowed into the golden layered flame.
Pew!
The golden layered flame suddenly erupted. A pressuring heat, with Zuo Mo at the center, exploded outwards. The defensive formations of the tent suddenly lit up with a red glow and stopped this wave of heat. Pia pia pia. The red light retreated. There was a crackling like glass breaking and Zuo Mo’s heart leapt when he heard this.
The last layer of formations forcibly stopped this terrifying wave of heat. Zuo Mo instantly released a breath. However, when he saw the mess inside the tent, his heart shivered. There was a layer of black glass on the ground. This was because the heat had melted the granite. Zuo Mo instantly judged that the golden layered flame was better than the Golden Crow Fire!
At least fifth-grade!
Zuo Mo thought to himself somewhat cheerfully. If it wasn’t that he knew the Golden Crow Macro Formation and could harvest Golden Crow Fire at will, obtaining the fourth-grade Golden Crow Fire would not be easy, much less obtaining this golden layered flame of a high grade. The golden layered flame had a higher grade, and was even more powerful. The requirement to control it was even higher. Zuo Mo thought to himself that he had to spend time studying this golden layered flame. Otherwise, it was shameful if he had a treasure and could not use it.
The changes to Zuo Mo’s body were not just limited to the golden layered flame. If he did not see it with his own eyes, Zuo Mo would not believe that this body was his!
Bones like crystal, the blood vessels that all glowed, and the patterns on them could be clearly seen. The blood inside the vessels was bright and fresh, filled with vitality and shining with a faint golden light. They circulated extremely slowly. If Zuo Mo’s consciousness was not extremely sensitive, he would have thought that the blood was unmoving. Zuo Mo quickly found the cause. The blood that was tinged with golden light was now much more viscous . Even the blood vessels were multiple times thicker and gave off the feeling of power.
Other than the channels and blood vessels, the muscles and tendons inside Zuo Mo’s body had completely transformed. The strong muscles had a faint gold sheen like it had been brushed with a layer of golden oil. The tendons inside his body were thinner and more slender than before but Zuo Mo could feel the astonishing power contained inside.
Zuo Mo had a strange feeling that he had become a weirdo.
A weirdo that had endless strength and an inhumanly strong body.
Slightly insecure, Zuo Mo instantly ran into the sea of consciousness. When he saw Pu Yao, he burst out, “Pu, what is with my body?”
Pu Yao’s eyes were closed in relaxation. He said lazily, “Don’t startle over nothing. Your Great Day mo physique advanced, that’s all.”
“Great Day mo physique advanced?” Zuo Mo realized and the stone inside his heart landed. He was instantly interested. “Haha! So it advanced! What are the benefits from advancing? Pu, tell me more!”
The corner of Pu Yao’s uncovered eye imperceptibly twitched and then he drawled. “An insignificant Great Day mo physique advancement, what else is there to say?”
Zuo Mo instantly was discontent. He smirked. “An insignificant Great Day mo physique advancement? If you have the skill, do this insignificant thing as well! Don’t hold the bread and say you don’t have food. Ge is relying on this to kill yao and mo. If we can’t walk out of this ghastly place, can you?”
Pu Yao was speechless.
Wei felt very good inside. Even though helping Zuo Mo in secret had been an action taken out of helplessness, but now he found that this guy was truly a weirdo! He had lost a few times to Pu Yao. He had a deep experience of Pu Yao’s cunning and maliciousness. Seeing Pu Yao defeated by Zuo Mo, he felt great no matter how he looked at it. If he wasn’t wary of Pu Yao, he wanted to clap his hands in pleasure.
However, he maintained his position and pretended to not overhear Zuo Mo and Pu Yao’s argument. Pu Yao was one to get even. Zuo Mo was unafraid, but he could not say the same. Unable to go back into the gravestone, his power was weaker than Pu Yao. Even more, Pu Yao was more cunning than him, more vicious than him, and dominated him in all aspects.
“Look at the time, you are still hiding things?” Zuo Mo was furious.
Pu Yao suddenly opened his eyes. “You can ask him about the Great Day mo physique.”
“Wei?” Zuo Mo was slightly puzzled. He turned to ask Wei, “You understand the Great Day mo physique?” He suddenly nodded in realization. “Right, right! You jumped out of the gravestone, you definitely understand the Great Day mo physique!”
Wei was shocked inside. He looked at Pu Yao who had closed his eyes again and was puzzled. After the gravestone had been sealed by Pu Yao, he had been forced into an agreement with Pu Yao and could not to pass mo skills onto Zuo Mo. This time, Pu Yao had actually suggested of his own initiative for Zuo Mo to ask him for help with the Great Day mo physique. Wasn’t this strange?
Out of caution, he shook his head. “I cannot teach you mo skills.”
“Why?” Zuo Mo stilled. His eyes widened and he suddenly showed realization. He said generously, “What do you want? Name a price!”
Wei closed his mouth and did not speak.
Pu Yao opened his eyes again and said to Wei, “This guy is right. If we cannot leave this ghastly place, no one will be well off. Since his Great Day mo physique has advanced, it is beneficial for everyone if you teach him a bit. This does not betray your oath.”
Wei’s bewilderment increased. Pu Yao’s words were righteous and appeared reasonable but the more it appeared so, the more Wei felt the other had a scheme. Wei pondered it momentarily inside and then made a decision. He nodded. “Alright.”
What he needed to do was not betray his oath and be able to pass mo skills to Zuo Mo. Even if Pu Yao had secret intentions, he decided to take the chance.
Seeing Wei agree, Zuo Mo was overjoyed. He hurriedly sat opposite Wei. Pu Yao closed his eye again. He might have been resting his mind or meditating.
Wei pushed aside his stray thoughts and slowly began, “The Great Day mo physique is an extremely rare mo physique, extremely yang and strong, unparalleled in dominance. You are familiar with the six transformations of the Great Day mo physique. Do you still remember when you had used all six transform
ations at the same time?”
“A bit.” Zuo Mo nodded.
“It has a name, Great mo physique,” Wei said faintly, and a strange look flashed through his eyes.
“Great mo physique?”
“The Great mo physique is the sign that amo physique has reached maturation, but this situation is very strange.” Wei said in a deep voice, “You are not a pure mo. Theoretically, the possibility of achieving Great mo physique is very low, but you managed to do it. Even now, I do not understand the cause of this.”
“Would there be any danger?” Zuo Mo hurried to ask. The Great Day mo physique did have great power, but if he lost his life in trade for this, then it was not profitable.
“There is no danger.” Wei said with a warm smile, “For you, there are only benefits and no harmful effects. You should have found the changes in your body. Those are traits unique to your Great mo physique. Your body right now is a body that cannot be unbroken. The flying swords controlled by ningmai xiuzhe cannot harm you. The dhyana xiu have similar techniques that create a body that cannot be damaged. Other than a few traits, there is no basic difference.”
Zuo Mo listened extremely carefully. Wei’s understanding of the mo physique seemed to be deeper than Pu Yao.
“The layered flame inside your body is called the Great Day Banded Flame. It is a kind of sixth-grade fire seed. Very few mo that cultivate the Great Day mo physique can form the Great Day Banded Flame. This must be related to the xiuzhe spells you cultivated before.” Wei said humbly, “The Great Day mo physique is very rarely seen. I do not know much about it and can only use some of what I know for you as reference.”
The Great Day Banded Flame was actually a sixth-grade fire seed. In this moment, Zuo Mo felt so happy he could faint!
Sixth-grade fire seed! This mean that his forging and dan-making would increase by two levels!
Zuo Mo wore a stupid smile.
Wei saw Zuo Mo’s expression and couldn’t help but grin. He did not hurry Zuo Mo along, and waited for Zuo Mo to come out of his daze. When Zuo Mo’s gaze became clear again, he continued, “After using the six changes of the Great Day mo physique to form the Great mo physique, it can open the deep mo levels.”
