Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 334 - : Be Careful Not to Poison the Fish and Shrimp

Chapter 334: Be Careful Not to Poison the Fish and Shrimp

The four of them had another lively exchange with Shen Mo.

Shi Jingtian and Du Cangqing both held great admiration for Shen Mo, a peer whose strength far surpassed theirs.

Moreover, Shen Mo possessed many qualities that they could learn from.

As a result, they frequently sparred with him, hoping to uncover weaknesses in their own techniques.

Shen Mo understood that they bore no ill intent, so he casually exchanged blows with them a few times.

Of course, while Shi Jingtian and Du Cangqing were top-tier geniuses, they still fell short by quite a significant margin when facing a true prodigy like Shen Mo.

The two challenged Shen Mo five times in a row, only to be thoroughly defeated each time.

This only deepened their respect for him.

Even Du Cangqing, who had arrived with a sour expression, left with a broad smile, clearly having gained a lot from their exchanges.

As they were about to depart, Ouyang Lang suddenly recalled something and said, "By the way, Sea God Island has already received an official invitation from Emperor Jing. He hopes that we can attend the Sword Sovereign's birthday banquet in two years."

Tong Yuan followed up, "Our Qianyuan Sect received a similar invitation."

Shen Mo nodded thoughtfully.

"Attending the banquet is one thing, but the more important matter is to discuss strategies for dealing with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Ouyang Lang and Tong Yuan both nodded. "We think so as well."

"At that time, we may even meet Young Sect Master Shen in the capital."

The two clasped their hands in a respectful gesture and smiled.

Shen Mo returned the smile. "Alright, we shall meet again then."

The four of them transformed into two streaks of light, vanishing into the horizon—one heading west to Qianzhou and the other northeast toward Haizhou.

Shen Mo pondered for a moment before looking at Wan Muchun. "What gifts did Qianyuan Sect and Sea God Island bring?"

Wan Muchun chuckled. "These two sects were quite generous. They sent a lot of gifts, including some extremely valuable treasures."

"Qianyuan Sect delivered one thousand supreme-grade spirit stones, fifty Qianyuan Pearls, and two top-tier Earth-rank formations."

"Sea God Island sent thirteen hundred supreme-grade spirit stones, four hundred catties of deep-sea blood ginseng, one hundred catties of sea-blue pearls, and the skeletal remains of two sixth-rank sea beasts."

Shen Mo was slightly surprised.

It seemed that these two sects were truly intent on forging ties with the newly rising Jade Cauldron Sect.

Qianyuan Pearls were a specialty of Qianyuan Sect, refined through highly advanced artifact-crafting techniques.

These pearls could replace demon cores when embedded into spiritual weapons.

Their effect was simple and direct—each attack would be infused with a trace of Qianyuan Sword Qi.

Though it might not seem like much, in battle, even a single additional thread of sword qi could sometimes alter the course of a fight.

As for the deep-sea blood ginseng from Sea God Island, it was an excellent treasure for reinforcing the physical bodies of Core Formation cultivators and those below.

Long-term consumption could also enhance mental clarity, sharpen vision, and nourish the mind.

The sea-blue pearls were even more valuable. If soaked in the blood of fifth- or sixth-rank demon beasts, they could help strengthen the bodies of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators.

Shen Mo could certainly make use of them.

As for the two sixth-rank sea beast skeletons, they were ideal for crafting spiritual weapons or grinding into powder for pill refinement.

Shen Mo sighed slightly.

Clearly, the higher-ups of Qianyuan Sect and Sea God Island had already realized that if the ancient demon emperor Gu Ming launched a northern invasion, the first regions to bear the brunt of the assault would be Yuzhou, Qianzhou, and Haizhou.

As the three most vulnerable states to an attack from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, it was only natural for them to strengthen their ties and stand united.

By contrast, the other five major sects had yet to react.

After all, they were shielded behind Yuzhou, Qianzhou, and Haizhou.

As the saying goes, better them than us.

For now, Jade Cauldron Sect, Qianyuan Sect, and Sea God Island were still holding up just fine, so the others saw no reason to worry.

"Elder Wan, have Senior Sister and Senior Brother returned yet?" Shen Mo flexed his wrist and asked with a smile.

Wan Muchun nodded. "Dongxuan is on his way back. As for Yaolu, she encountered a slight problem. She's searching for the lost inheritance of the Sky Ghost Clan, so not only has she not returned, but she has ventured even deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Shen Mo pondered for a moment.

Zhao Yaolu was destined to escape three life-threatening calamities. Since she hadn't used up all her chances yet, there was no need to worry too much.

Just as he was thinking, an excited roar echoed from the horizon.

"Little Junior Brother!"

"I never expected this—you're actually this incredible!"

"Killing the Crown Prince and Fourth Prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, slaying the Second Prince of the Eastern Sea, and annihilating a million-strong demon army!"

"When I first brought you from Xuanjiang Prefecture, I must have used up all the luck I had in my lifetime! Hahaha!"

Before the hearty laughter had even faded, a rugged, disheveled man landed beside Shen Mo.

Putting everything else aside, for a Nascent Soul cultivator to be covered in filth and pitch-black grime—only Lü Dongxuan could pull that off.

Wan Muchun shook his head with a helpless smile. "You brat, you've already returned to the sect, yet you can't even clean yourself up a bit."

Lü Dongxuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth against his dark face.

"No problem, I'll just jump into a waterfall later and wash it all off—quick and easy!"

Shen Mo chuckled. "Be careful not to poison the fish and shrimp."

Lü Dongxuan froze for a moment before bursting into laughter, his voice hearty and infectious.

"Little Junior Brother, I feel like I'm about to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm."

"But I still feel like I'm missing something. I'm planning to head out and search for an opportunity."

Lü Dongxuan scratched his head.

Shen Mo glanced at his life panel and felt a sense of emotion.

Lü Dongxuan would indeed find his destined opportunity and forge a Heaven-grade Primordial Spirit.

He was also on the verge of awakening memories from his past life.

"A reincarnated spear spirit... Just what kind of unparalleled divine spear is it?"

Shen Mo patted Lü Dongxuan on the shoulder. "Alright, I wish you success, Senior Brother!"

Lü Dongxuan grinned and nodded before charging toward a nearby waterfall.

Moments later, the waterfall turned black.

Downstream, fish and shrimp flipped belly-up, floating lifelessly on the water's surface.

Shen Mo, Nangong Yun, and Wan Muchun were speechless.

In the days that followed, Shen Mo didn't focus on training. Instead, he left the sect and ventured into Mist Province and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in search of opportunities.

Both the Crown Prince and Fourth Prince were top-tier geniuses, and they each had their own fortuitous encounters hidden in Mist Province and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Ten days later, Shen Mo discovered the demonic armor's left arm within an ancient cavern in Cangming Valley, Mist Province.

A month later, in a tiger demon tribe deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, Shen Mo found the decapitation sword book and extermination sword book.

The Tiger Demon King had failed to recognize their value and had simply tossed them into a storage room like worthless junk.

When combined with the grass sword book and root sword book he had previously obtained, the four books formed the phrase: "Cut the Grass, Uproot the Roots."

The power of this set was already approaching the level of a low-grade Heaven-tier spiritual weapon, far surpassing the peak of Earth-tier artifacts.

Shen Mo speculated that if he could find either the burning heaven sword book or the scorching earth sword book and merge them into "Cut the Grass, Uproot the Roots," the sword book's power would instantly leap into the ranks of Heaven-tier artifacts.

After securing these two fortunes, Shen Mo wasted no time and rushed toward the Eastern Sea.

Evading the surveillance of the Eastern Sea's water demons, he arrived at a sunken ship and discovered a peculiar stone tablet within.

This was the fortune meant for Ao Sheng, the Second Prince of the Eastern Sea.

At first glance, the stone tablet seemed unremarkable—just an exceptionally sturdy slab of rock.

However, carved onto its surface was the location of a rare flame.

Nine Nether Ice Flame.
