Ye Mo stared dumbfounded at the three weapons – one of them was the Sky Blood Spear, the other the Blood Eagle Claw, and the final one being the Tiger Head Battle Sword.

By entering the state of Human-Spear Union, Ye Mo could detect that Hong Ling was currently devouring the weapon spirit of the Blood Eagle Claw. Its weapon spirit was not in human form like Hong Ling; being a deity level weapon spirit meant that Hong Ling was in human form the moment she had awakened. The human form was the best one could achieve in training. Regardless of whether it was weapon spirits, seal spirits, or even pill spirits, for monsters and devils, reaching the human form was their ultimate goal.

The weapon spirit of the Blood Eagle Claw was merely a spirit with the exterior shape of the weapon itself. Hong Ling opened her mouth and slowly devoured the weapon spirit. Any form of struggle or resistance from the Blood Eagle Claw was in vain. Laying down, the Blood Eagle Claw shook wildly, as if in resistance. After a while, its shaking became slower and slower, and following that, a moment of calm ensued. The initial subtle blood-coloured glow had completely disappeared as it became an ordinary weapon.

A weapon with its spirit hollowed out. The entire consumption process took a whole hour. Another hour passed, and the Tiger Head Battle Sword was devoured by Hong Ling as well.

“Not bad, Ye Mo. Keep it up and give me more weapon spirits.”

Hong Ling nodded her head, satisfied, before entering another phase of deep thought.

Without hesitation, Ye Mo started using his Mixed Energy Pills as he sat down cross-legged and started training. Pill after pill into his stomach was met with waves of gentle energy spreading from within. The energy that entered his body was immediately wrapped around by his True Energy Powers, becoming a spiraling stream that started channeling around his Energy Center.

To reach the True Energy Realm, the medication ability of the Mixed Energy Pills was not quite enough for Ye Mo. Thankfully, he had sufficient amounts of supply. Without being stingy with his Mixed Energy Pills, he started to train.

Initially, had he been able to attain the Cosmos Qi, Ye Mo would’ve been able to use it to cultivate the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram and rapidly expand his training, reaching the Transcendence Realm in an extremely short amount of time. However, things did not go as planned – not only did he not attain the Cosmos Qi, he was forced to flee from the Tianwu Kingdom.

Now, he had to consider all methods to raise his strength.

Therefore, entering the Door of Desolation was the quickest method. Only by entering the Door of Desolation and meeting all the geniuses there would he be able to increase his strength at a quicker speed. Ling’er was waiting for him to revive her, his family in the Tianwu Kingdom was waiting for him to save them, and even the whereabouts of Xiao Yue and Yao Yue remained unknown. However, Ye Mo understood that so long as possessed true power, he would be able to dictate all things and protect those that he needed to protect.

For the whole night, Ye Mo seemingly did not rest at all, as he remained in the training state. When the sky turned bright, Ye Mo opened his eyes intensely as a strong wave of aura exploded, blowing away all the dust in the room. Even the chairs in the room started to wobble.

“True Energy Realm, intermediate stage!” A hint of a smile was seen at the corner of Ye Mo’s lips.

The Five Color Energy Pills in the deep end of his Energy Center combined once again, increasing the concentration of his True Energy by at least double. The same occurred for the strength of his entrances. At the moment, his entrances needed to awaken 11000 rays of Bright Dragon Powers once again for him to be satisfied. However, the amount of energy needed to awaken 11000 rays of Bright Dragon Powers was enormous. He needed to find some precious pills and medication to awaken all at once.

A creaking sound was heard as the door was pushed open. Mu Qing entered with breakfast in hand.

“Mr. Ye Mo, did you rest well last night? These are some delicacies from Cloudsea City. Try them.”

As she spoke, she placed plate after plate of food on the table like a waitress.

Taking a look at the delicacies, Ye Mo was taken by surprise, having not seen any of these dishes before.

Ye Mo took a sip of the hot soup and started to ask, “Lady Mu Qing, you said that you have a way to let me enter the Luosha Blood Pool. Do tell.”

Hearing that, Mu Qing’s face started to blush.

“Last night, my father and I were discussing this matter. You’ve helped the Mu Family so much. My father said that so long as you become a part of the Mu Family, you will be able to represent our family to head towards the Luosha Palace and enter the Luosha Blood Pool.”

“Become a part of the Mu Family? What do you mean by that?” Ye Mo drank his soup as he continued asking.

“It means we have to get married,” Mu Qing said, her face slightly reddened.

“Pffffttttt”

Ye Mo immediately spat out the soup in his mouth.

“Lady Mu Qing, did I hear that correctly?” Ye Mo wiped himself as he spoke.

Mu Qing said, “The Luosha Palace is extremely strict when checking adult fighters. This is because entering the Luosha Blood Pool is an extremely rare opportunity. Some talented strong fighters end up advancing rapidly after entering the Luosha Blood Pool. Hence, a lot of fighters from other kingdoms will disguise their identity and try to enter the pool as well. To prevent something like that, the Luosha Emperor ordered that anyone who enters the pool is required to prove their identity. Only those who pass the verification process will be allowed into the Luosha Blood Pool and become an official member of the Luosha Kingdom.”

Ye Mo understood that. However, was making him marry Mu Qing necessary?

“Are there no better options?” Ye Mo asked.

“No, there aren’t. Many fighters desire to become a citizen of the Luosha Kingdom. For males, they will marry into the families of high status; even marrying a servant in the family counts. As for females, they will marry the guards of the big families. Only by doing so can you prove that you wholeheartedly desire to become a member of the Luosha Kingdom. Mu Qing continued explaining after a brief pause.

The Luosha Kingdom was stronger than the Tianwu Kingdom for another reason as well; the Luosha Emperor’s strength came from the Luosha Mark. Those who possessed the mark will increase when they pledge allegiance to the Emperor. Members of the other kingdoms had already pledged their allegiances to their respective emperors since young – possessing the Luosha Print brought the Luosha Emperor no benefits.

“Mr. Ye Mo, you don’t have to be too bothered about it. The marriage is nothing but a formality. It is fine as long as both of us understand,” Mu Qing said with some disappointment seen in her eyes.

While it would be an act, carrying out the actual marriage would still impact the female to certain extents.

“I see. However, if we carry out the marriage, won’t your reputation be affected?” Ye Mo said.

Mu Qing said with a serious tone as she looked at Ye Mo, “I know of your desire to enter the Door of Desolation. However, without the Luosha Mark, you don’t stand any chance. You saved the Mu Family – this mere reputation is not as important. With the Mu Family being the only dominant family in all of Cloudsea City, no one will dare oppose me anyway.”

“Alright then. We won’t have to organize some sort of wedding ceremony, will we?” Ye Mo could not help but ask.

Mu Qing nodded as she said, “Yes, we will have to. We will have to do a complete job if we are going to put on a show. Otherwise, people will start to suspect if I have a husband out of nowhere.”

Ye Mo held his hands together towards Mu Qing and said with a solemn face, “Lady Mu Qing, many thanks to you. If I manage to enter the Door of Desolation successfully, I will repay my gratitude.”

After the plan had been confirmed, hundreds of invitations were sent out, with families across the Cloudsea City, big and small, all invited to attend the wedding. Most importantly, the deputy palace master of the Luosha Palace’s southern sub-division was invited as well, letting him host this marriage affair and also be a witness.

With the invitations sent out, the Mu Family also started to prepare for the wedding, decorating the place with lights and ribbons, laying out the red carpet and hanging up lanterns. Inside the residence, it was filled with laughter from the servants and deep sighs from the guards. However, the moment they recalled Ye Mo’s frightening display of strength, any feeling of indignance vanished.

Inside a hotel, there were a few people clad in white sitting at the corner of a table; one man and three women. One of the women stood out in terms of both attire and her aura. In particular, that veiled woman had a head of long hair that flowed like the galaxy, skin as white as snow, the beauty of her facial features were comparable to that of the moon and the stars. The gentle fragrance that her body gave off, especially, was what made the two other ladies feel ashamed of themselves.

“Sister Xiao Yue, look over there – there are lights and decorations. I heard that it’s the big wedding of Mu Family’s lady, with plenty of guests invited. We’ve already completed our mission coming down the mountain. We have some time left to spare – let’s go take a look!” One of the women, a short-haired girl, said to the veiled lady beside her.
