Chapter 1603: Shadowless’ Origin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhen Bingyu didn’t ask much and just took out a storage ring and gave it to Ye Mo. “This is that great unity immortal’s storage ring. I didn’t touch it, you can take it.”
Ye Mo took it and looked at Zhen Bingyu in confusion. “Okay, I happen to need it – but don’t worry, I won’t let you lose out.”
After these few days, Zhen Bingyu knew that Ye Mo was more prideful than her. It looked like he didn’t care but he definitely wouldn’t take advantage of someone. But if he didn’t agree, no one could secretly take advantage of him. He would definitely get it back if he lost out on something.
“Was it the Shadowless Worm that helped you devour the great unity immortal essence spirit?” Zhen Bingyu asked.
“You know of Shadowless Worm?” Ye Mo asked instead. He knew he couldn’t hide this from her and she seemed to know a lot too. Now that she asked this, Ye Mo immediately wanted to ask if she knew of Shadowless’ origin.
Zhen Bingyu nodded. “That’s right, I indeed know its origin. Almost everyone knows of it, but rarely does anyone know what it is exactly. It’s not a spirit bug nor immortal spirit bug, it’s a type of god beast.”
“You’re saying my bug is a god beast?” Ye Mo looked dazily at Zhen Bingyu. Shadowless was only the size of a pea, it had nothing to do with a god beast.
Zhen Bingyu didn’t feel it was funny and kept saying, “It’s not only a god beast but it’s also a part of the dragon race. I don’t know exactly which branch, but it’s extremely small and hard for it to progress. Thus, they couldn’t stay in the dragon race and was considered a difference race. They were cast out of the dragon race because they were too weak and couldn’t survive at other places. Just when they were about to be annihilated, a member of the dragon race secretly sent down the last tens of pairs of Shadowless Worm eggs to the mortal realm.”
“You’re saying that when the tens of pairs of Shadowless Worms in the mortal realm disappear, then the Shadowless Bug would be extinct?” Ye Mo asked.
“That’s right, a few pairs of Shadowless Worms have been brought to the cultivation realm from the mortal realm. Although it can dominate the cultivation realm and no spirit bug is a match for it, in the immortal realm it’s completely ordinary because no one can pay the price for Shadowless Worms to evolve,” Zhen Bingyu said.
“Do you know what level my Shadowless bug is?” Ye Mo quickly asked.
Zhen Bingyu shook her head. “If I’m not wrong, it’s still at the infant stage, it hasn’t evolved yet.”
“What?” Ye Mo looked at Zhen Bingyu in shock. He had been giving Shadowless extreme grade spirit stones and extreme grade spirit ranges, essence spirit and evil spirits, all he could eat. It even slept near the Bitter Bamboo. Even in the immortal realm, it had great conditions. How come it still hadn’t evolved yet? He clearly saw Shadowless change colors a few times.
“But since yours can hold out against a great unity immortal, it clearly has been living well. Shadowless Worms can devour everything. It’s said a mature one can devour an entire realm,” Zhen Bingyu said.
“Then if it’s that strong, why was it kicked out of dragon race?” Ye Mo asked.
“Because that’s only in theory. In fact, no Shadowless Worm has ever reached such a level and it’s impossible for it to reach such a level. Shadowless Worms have five levels: before evolving they’re called spirit worms, that’s level one. When it reaches level two it’s called heaven tao. Level three is immortal tao, level four is god tao. The dragon race is a god beast, but not all dragon race descendants can be god beasts. If Shadowless worm can reach god tao it would belong amongst the god beasts.”
“Level five is divine tao, it can devour anything. By then, even divine body immortals wouldn’t be able to suppress it,” Zhen Bingyu answered.
“Thank you.” Ye Mo finally understand what the saying ‘Not spirit bug, not immortal’ meant.
Ye Mo had decided to think of a way to let Shadowless reach god tao. Then, he would take him to the dragon race and slap their face. But if Shadowless didn’t work hard himself, then never mind.
“Thank you for saving me once,” Zhen Bingyu said.
“It’s nothing, if you didn’t believe I wouldn’t drag you out. I can only say you saved yourself. Plus your flying magic artifact is faster than mine, we could come out partially due to you.” Ye Mo waved his hand.
Zhen Bingyu asked, “What happened at the Corner Soul Domain? How did you know? Why can’t you take that Corner Soul Mushroom?”
Hearing this, Ye Mo’s face went serious. He fell into silence for a moment and said, “If I’m not wrong, that Corner Soul Domain is probably Wushuang immortal emperor’s sea of consciousness…”
“What?” Zhen Bingyu was astonished and asked, “How do you know?”
Ye Mo shook his head but didn’t answer. How did he know? Of course from the Corner Soul Mushroom.
It contained an intense desire and spirit sense dao will. That spirit sense dao will demanded Ye Mo to refine it. Ye Mo noticed it immediately and had a bad feeling.
When he checked the mushroom again, he had a new feeling and that was it was born from a sea of consciousness. It existed so that one day when it was ripe, they could be used to repair sea of consciousness with the essence blood of the cultivator who refined it.
Originally, Ye Mo thought that palace was the sea of consciousness, but when he left it he immediately felt that the entire Corner Soul Domain was probably the sea of consciousness. The reason he had such an intense feeling was because the owner of the sea of consciousness, like him, also used large amounts of Corner Soul Weeds to refine his spirit sense. That feeling was crystal clear but Ye Mo felt he couldn’t explain it to Zhen Bingyu.
Thinking about when people found Corner Soul Weeds here, Ye Mo was certain that these Corner Soul Weeds were left behind by the owner of the sea of consciousness to use for repair. However because they were taken away, the owner could only use Corner Soul Mushrooms and the essence blood of immortals to repair his sea of consciousness.
Only people who had used Corner Soul Weeds for a long time could sense that the Corner Soul Domain was a sea of consciousness and Ye Mo was one such person.
But of course that was just his guess, when he left the Corner Soul Domain and saw it shrink, he knew his guess was right.
That Wushuang immortal emperor might still exist and his sea of consciousness was still under repair. Even if he wanted revenge against Wei Feng immortal emperor, he would probably need countless years. However, Ye Mo didn’t plan to spill this.
What happened here would draw a lot of powerful beings over. It was best to leave as far as possible.
…
Ye Mo opened the great unity immortal storage ring. There were five million top grade immortal crystals and quite some level three immortal pills. There weren’t many level four immortal pills but there were quite some level four and level five immortal spirit herbs and a large pile of forgery materials.
Ye Mo took half of the immortal crystals immortal spirit herbs and materials. He didn’t take any of the rest and gave the storage ring to Zhen Bingyu.
