Chapter 550 - The Dust Has Settled
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Tianwu Kingdom’s turmoil finally came to an end thanks to the battle between Ye Mo and Li Tianqiong.
Li Tianqiong’s authority as the Emperor was shattered after losing to Ye Mo, and he was saved by the founding Emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom, Li Huangmin, bringing a massive reshuffling to the Tianwu Kingdom.
Ye Mo immediately appointed Qi Ying as the new Emperor, making her the Tianwu Kingdom’s first-ever Empress.
With Qi Ying as the new Empress, she ordered every citizen of the Tianwu Kingdom to be given the right to learn martial arts, with the Kingdom set to utilize whatever resources were required to aid everyone in their training.
At the same time, Tianwu Kingdom’s Limestone City was also ordered to undergo expansion – the Xiao Family and Ye Family were both given royal status.
Without the Goddess’ Eternal Spring, the City of Daughters also changed its mind about isolating itself from the rest of the world, completely tearing down its city door.
Anyone related to Ye Mo received promotions. While Qi Ying was the Tianwu Kingdom’s Empress, only a handful of people knew that Ye Mo was the true mastermind behind the Tianwu Kingdom.
Furthermore, the first-ever Empress, Qi Ying, was Ye Mo’s woman.
All of the Tianwu Kingdom started to develop and prosper once again, with the overall training standards improving gradually. Ye Mo had faith that everyone in the Tianwu Kingdom would become fighters in less than ten years.
That was also an indication that the Tianwu Kingdom was progressing rapidly.
The night falls!
Ye Mo, all by himself, held up a bottle of wine as he sat on the throne. Looking up at the moonlight, his sight was slightly blurry.
It had been three days since he had defeated Li Tianqiong, and these three days had been a period of revolutionary change.
With Ye Mo as her pillar of support, no one dared to defy Qi Ying.
Clearing out Li Tianqiong’s storage, he found three Transcendence Golden Bodies, as well as the three bodies received for killing the three Transcendence Realm fighters from the First Heaven Society. They were enough to cultivate six elite fighters in the Transcendence Realm.
Those six Transcendence Golden Bodies were to be given to the aging elders to cultivate.
Fighters like Xuan Qiu and Chen Yihan still had age on their side and were still capable of making breakthroughs in their training levels. The elders no longer had the strength to do so, and could only rely on these Transcendence Golden Bodies for cultivation.
During that period of time, Ye Mo even returned to the Ye Residence to pay his respects to Ye Qing.
As for Li Mengli, Ye Mo hadn’t seen her since Li Tianqiong’s defeat. Ye Mo knew that the two of them would never interact in the future – this was an undisputed fact that could not be changed.
“The dust has finally settled in the Tianwu Kingdom,” a voice said.
Ye Mo looked up in the night sky. Under the influence of alcohol, a blurry-looking face suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Mother!”
Half-drunk, Ye Mo suddenly remembered his mother, the person who had given birth to him and placed the Rising Dragon Pillars Seal inside his Energy Center. He knew that his mother had had no choice but to leave him.
Perhaps, she was still unaware of Ye Qing’s death. He promised himself to find out what kind of a person his mother was.
Ye Mo already knew that it was the First Heaven Society’s doings that caused Ye Qing’s death. But as for his mother’s identity, Ye Mo was still completely clueless.
“The blood flowing in my body belongs to the Ancient Dragon Blood – my mother must be from the Ancient Dragon Clan,” Ye Mo said to himself According to Hong Lin, this clan is an invincible existence. What kind of clan is it exactly? And what was my mother’s position among the clan members of the Ancient Dragon Clan?”
Ye Mo was filled with questions. He knew that only by personally visiting the clan would he be able to receive the answers that he wanted. But Hong Lin had told him that he should only visit the Ancient Dragon Clan after reaching the Profound World Realm.
Ye Mo could understand where Hong Lin was coming from. The Ancient Dragon Clan was most likely an extremely powerful family clan in the spiritual martial lands. Heading there without enough strength and ability to show would kill off any chances of him being accepted. Furthermore, his bloodline was impure.
“Ye Mo, your top priority now is to revive that seal,” Hong Ling said. “I’m afraid that the members of the First Heaven Society already have their eyes on you. And the Li Royal Family’s father-and-son duo will definitely not let you off either. The Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber might be your master, but what matters most is your training. As you reach beyond the Transcendence Realm, the seal’s battle abilities will increase further and further.”
“Aren’t you sworn enemies with Ling’er? After all, you were the one who caused her to become like this.”
Ye Mo put down his wine bottle and muttered to himself.
“In the past, perhaps I would still have some reservations about you,” Hong Ling said gently. “But things are different now. I see hope in you – your achievements will be far greater than that of the Sky Blood Lady.”
“Don’t worry, both of you are my partners. I hope that we will be able to continue growing.” Ye Mo smiled as he continued drinking his booze.
“Ye Mo, are you returning to the Door of Desolation tomorrow?”
A petite silhouette passed by, only for Ye Mo to see Qi Ying, clad in her empress attire. Dressed in a golden robe, with her slim figure and face of ultimate beauty, normal True Energy Realm fighters wouldn’t even dare to look Qi Ying in the eye, such was her dominant aura.
Qi Ying walked over slowly and leaned against Ye Mo’s chest as she said, “I can’t believe that you actually did it – you beat Li Tianqiong. Had I helped you from the start, you wouldn’t have needed to endure so much.”
“If that day at the cave hadn’t happened, perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to reach the heights of today,” Ye Mo said gently as he embraced Qi Ying. “The amount of heart I have decides how far I’m able to go, and you’ve been my motivation all this time.”
“Me? What about Xiao Yue?”
Qi Ying understood that she wasn’t the only one with relations with Ye Mo. She didn’t have the huge ambition of taking all of Ye Mo for herself.
Now, she had a new goal – to help Ye Mo fix the Tianwu Kingdom and protect her home.
“I’ll find her and bring her back,” Ye Mo said with a determined tone. “My father has passed away, and I still don’t know where my mother is. I want to wait till I find my mother, and let her be the one to host the weddings. They’ll be held in the Tianwu Kingdom, and when that happens, I’ll marry all of you into my family.”
“Ye Mo, it’s getting late,” Qi Yin said with a gentle expression on her face. “Before we part, allow me to be at your service.”
“I’m scared that you won’t be able to wake up tomorrow morning.”
Ye Mo let out a mischievous laugh as he carried Qi Ying and headed towards her room.
The next day, Ye Mo met Chuchu once more before he departed. Afraid that Chuchu would be sad again, he promised to visit her when he had the time. As for Chuchu, she promised to continue training hard as well.
Now that Ye Mo had advanced to the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm and awakened 500,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers, his speed had boosted rapidly. Ye Mo headed toward the Door of Desolation at the speed of lightning.
Having left the Door of Desolation for nearly 25 days, there were five days before the Door of Desolation was going to organize its grandest event – the Six Dao Tournament.
The competition was open to all the disciples from the Six Dao Palaces, but for newcomers to get into the rankings for the tournament was almost impossible.
The seniors in the Six Dao Palaces were almost all in the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier in the Transcendence Realm.
With participants of such high caliber, it was impossible for the new recruits to get into the ranked placings.
“With my current speed, I only need three days to rush back to the Door of Desolation,” Ye Mo said to himself. “With some spare time to prepare, I want to see for myself the elite fighters in the Six Dao Palaces. Apparently, there are some seniors of mythical status – I wonder how strong they really are.”
En route back to the Door of Desolation, Ye Mo was filled with excitement.
This type of competition was what really got his blood pumping – it was a chance to meet plenty of fighters stronger than himself.
