I Seize Opportunities With My Life Script System-Chapter 618: Who Exactly Is This Shi Tianhao?

Chapter 618: Who Exactly Is This Shi Tianhao?

Shen Mo stood in place, a faint smile on his lips.

Only after Yin Zanghua's figure completely vanished did he exhale a long breath of turbid air.

Yin Zanghua truly lived up to being a powerful cultivator with eighty-one Dao patterns.

Though she had only flicked the Golden Page back, the impact still caused intense pain in his right palm.

Had it not been for his exceptionally strong physical body and the protection of his vast blood energy,

he might have revealed something under her scrutiny,

leading to a series of unpredictable consequences.

Fortunately, his gamble had paid off.

His strength, shrouded in mist, made it impossible for Yin Zanghua to grasp his depth.

In fact, even if his true strength had been exposed, Shen Mo still had confidence in his ability to escape.

For a cultivator with forty Dao patterns to escape from the hands of one with eighty—

for others, it would be nothing short of a wild fantasy.

But Shen Mo could do it.

And that was precisely the confidence that allowed him to gamble and make a deal with Yin Zanghua.

Shen Mo walked over to Chen Yu and Luo Yan, used his spiritual power to probe, and retrieved their storage pouches.

He cautiously wrapped his divine sense in blood energy before entering them.

As expected, both pouches contained automatic defense mechanisms.

Poisonous smoke, parasitic insects—

all kinds of deadly traps.

For someone of Shen Mo's strength, they wouldn't be fatal, but would certainly leave him suffering.

"A total of eighty million top-grade spirit stones."

"Two sets of Heaven-rank supreme-grade formation arrays."

"Three Heaven-rank spiritual artifacts, though none contain artifact spirits."

"All sorts of Gu insects, mostly useless."

"A few half-refined Yin corpses."

"Hmm... this Diamond Corpse Refining Art isn't bad."

Shen Mo examined it carefully and nodded slightly.

Among Chen Yu's Heaven-rank spiritual artifacts was a Yin Fiend Tower specifically used for raising corpses.

It even possessed some defensive capabilities.

"There may be a chance to refine a Yin corpse to serve me."

"But the bodies of Chen Yu and Luo Yan are far too weak—unsuitable for corpse refinement."

"This Diamond Corpse Refining Art requires muscular, robust corpses with massive physical presence."

With a casual wave, Shen Mo sent both corpses tumbling into the sea.

Fish, shrimp, and sea beasts would naturally take care of the remains.

He thoroughly wiped all traces of blood and activity from the area before leaving.

Elsewhere—

Yin Zanghua returned to the tower ship.

Now, without Chen Yu and Luo Yan, only cold Yin corpse guards remained aboard.

That brought her a sense of peace.

"Who exactly is this Shi Tianhao?"

"He can't possibly be an outer sea cultivator—he must be from the inner sea."

"But with strength like that, he should already be famous across the inner sea..."

"Could he be a disciple of some Supreme-level cultivator traveling outside?"

"There aren't many Supreme cultivators with such profound formation mastery."

"Only that one from Myriad Phenomena Holy Land..."

The more Yin Zanghua thought about it, the more shocked she became.

She had long heard of that one's name.

He accepted disciples regardless of race.

So long as they had the right talent, he would take them in.

Among his disciples were humans, beastkin, dragons, flood dragons, and dragonkin alike.

If Shi Tianhao was that person's disciple, everything would make sense.

"Good thing I didn't make a move back then. Otherwise, with how protective that one is, I'd likely face endless trouble."

"Even Master doesn't like to provoke that person without cause."

Yin Zanghua exhaled slowly, inwardly thankful she preferred calculated moves over the impulsiveness of brute force.

"Now that so many Golden Pages have appeared, the tomb of the Azure Supreme must be close to fully revealing itself."

"I should return to the sect first."

With a thought, Yin Zanghua controlled the tower ship.

It cut through the fog like a meteor, heading northward.

Falling Star Sea Domain, Mingyue Island.

This was the second-largest island under the jurisdiction of the Sun-Moon Sect. The largest was Great Sun Island, which also housed the sect's headquarters.

Mingyue Island had thus become a major hub for cultivator trade.

Three elders of the Sun-Moon Sect were stationed here year-round to oversee affairs.

All fighting was strictly forbidden on the island.

As a result, security was excellent.

Many cultivators who preferred peace simply chose to settle here, resting and working in service of the Sun-Moon Sect.

Even the Treasure Alliance had set up a branch here—the Jubao Pavilion—dedicated to trade.

A tall, upright figure walked down a bustling street.

The young cultivator was spirited and graceful, tall and well-built.

Though his appearance was not especially handsome, his bearing was extraordinary.

He immediately caught the attention of several female cultivators.

Shen Mo shook his head.

He hadn't expected that even after deliberately using the Thousand Faces Myriad Forms Codex to alter his appearance, he'd still attract attention.

Seems next time, he'd have to transform into a fierce, burly bald man instead.

After concluding the deal with Yin Zanghua that day, he had come early to Mingyue Island and waited here.

Over the past few months, he had simply rented a cultivation chamber, often refining his Jade Dragon Fist, Platinum Dragon Fist, and Void Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal Scripture.

Aside from that, his Dao patterns had progressed swiftly.

The Primal Elephant Manifestation, Blazing Celestial Eye Manifestation, and Undying River Manifestation—the combined Dao patterns of all three manifestations—had now reached fifty.

With all three out at once, he was equivalent to a Nirvana-stage cultivator with fifty Dao patterns.

On this day, he had just exited seclusion.

He headed straight for a small island 6,000 li south of Mingyue Island called "Hundred Herb Island."

The reason for his stopover here was to intercept several items in Shi Tianhao's possession:

The low-grade sacred artifact Crimson Sun Tome, Overlord Dragon Fist, Bloodburn Dragon Fist, and the Golden Page.

The latter two were actually contained within the Crimson Sun Tome.

These four items were things Shen Mo absolutely had to obtain—none could be left out.

Hence, he had staked out the place well in advance.

Shen Mo soon arrived at Hundred Herb Island.

It was just a small island with thin spiritual energy.

Its area was limited.

Only about a thousand mortals lived here, cultivating a few spirit fields and growing some spiritual herbs.

The strongest residents were merely two Qi Condensation cultivators.

They were likely low-ranking cultivators assigned by the Sun-Moon Sect to manage the island.

Shen Mo didn't alert anyone. He casually chose a mountain peak and sat cross-legged atop it, spreading his divine sense and waiting silently.

At his current level, his divine sense could easily spread across tens of thousands of li.

He could perceive everything happening nearby.

As for the three elders stationed on Mingyue Island, each with only thirty Dao patterns—

they were completely incapable of detecting Shen Mo's divine sense.

Two days later—

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes.

He sensed someone swiftly approaching from the south, heading toward the Sun-Moon Sect.

The face was unfamiliar.

But the aura was very familiar.

It was none other than Shi Tianhao, now with a changed appearance.

Previously, Shen Mo had seen in Shi Tianhao's upcoming fortunes that this man had roughly deduced the location of the Azure Supreme's tomb.

He had changed his identity specifically to join the Sun-Moon Sect.

Shen Mo smiled and instantly appeared, blocking the only path to Mingyue Island.

Shi Tianhao's heart pounded wildly, and he hurried to a stop.

He wanted to dodge, but found that he was already locked onto by the other party's aura. No matter which direction he fled, he would be attacked.

Shi Tianhao cursed inwardly and could only force a smile, cupping his hands. "Fellow Daoist, why are you blocking my way?"

Shen Mo cackled. "If you want to pass, pay the toll!"

"Hand over the best item you've got!"

Shi Tianhao put on the look of a penniless cultivator. "Fellow Daoist, just look at me—I'm so poor I'm about to sell my trousers. What treasures could I possibly have?"

Shen Mo grinned. "A few months ago, you seized the Crimson Sun Tome on Wanbao Island. I saw it with my own eyes."

Shi Tianhao's eyes instantly widened in shock, utterly stunned. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
