Chapter 1136 - Digesting the Results of the Battle

Shen Mo's eyes were deep and gentle as he looked in the direction where Su Qingtao had disappeared.
The majestic spiritual energy provided by the thousands of small worlds in the Dharma image was constantly refined by him into the force of chaos, and then transformed and sublimated into a trace of immortal power, which he used to activate the Mixed Yuan Slash Dao Sword and slash towards the empty space!
At a distance of billions of miles, Su Qingtao's face slightly changed, and a divine light radiated from her body. In an instant, she used all means to try to stop this devastating sword, finally relying on sacrificing a portion of her true immortal source to send this attack to the void beyond the realm, forcibly blocking Shen Mo's lock on her aura.
Although she resolved this offensive, she also suffered a lot of damage and her aura weakened.
"Qingyun True Immortal, wait for me!" Su Qingtao glanced hatefully in the direction of Wulong Mountain, then disappeared again while riding the Dragon Control Light Map!
After Shen Mo made a sword strike, he no longer paid any attention to it.
If Su Qingtao is still within the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Killing Formation, he can try to kill her here, but once she leaves the formation, it would be wishful thinking to try to kill her with his cultivation and Taoism.
苏青桃能逃出大阵，多亏了她的恩师犼天尊……
犼天尊过来的只是一道化身，即便陨落了也没什么大不了的，最多损失一些实力，日后重新物色、炼化一道化身即可。
Therefore, in the increasingly unfavorable situation, with the risk of both master and apprentice perishing, Hion Tien sacrificed all the original power of Aohao's incarnation, and used the bronze short spear to break the Divine Slaughter Formation, paving a way for Su Qingtao to escape!
Shen Mo glanced at the floating body of Aohao in the sea of blood, waved his hand and slashed a sword light of the Dongtian sword, collecting it into the sword domain space, preparing to hand it over to the true dragon clan for disposal in the future.
After the divine incarnation of Lord Yintian fell, the True Dragon Garrison Monument also lost its source of immortal power and transformed into a ray of spiritual light, attempting to escape. However, it was suppressed by Shen Mo's control over the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Formation.
At the same time, amidst the tremors of the heaven and earth, the Earth Element Forbidden Formation resumed its operation!
收起炼魂幡和真龙镇兵碑，沈墨五感神识落向了五龙山等七十二座仙山。
Due to the fierce battle between Su Qingtao and her disciples, which took place in the Blood Sea Realm, the impact on the immortal mountains below was not too significant.
During the suppression of the local divine formation, a group of high-level cultivators who were exterminating evil spirits retreated to Wulong Mountain. The remaining evil spirits on each immortal mountain took the opportunity to escape. However, at this time, there were numerous strange and bizarre changes in the immortal realm, and there were countless small and large evil spirits, and adding a hundred more would still be considered insignificant!
As the group of magic souls is about to be collected back by the Soul Refining Banner, the local formation of the Earth Domain resumes operation, and this world returns to clarity.
Shen Mo's mixed-element dharma body gradually disappears, while his true body returns to the Wulong Mountain. Afterwards, a group of Nonexistent Realm disciples led by Yuan He Ming come over to inquire about the situation. Fairy Hua Yao, Tianfeng Palace's Shi Nianyao, and others also come to support.
After briefly describing the situation, Shen Mo returned to the Qingyun Cave.
"I have reached the 31st step, but I don't know when the following steps will manifest."
Following the surging calamity energy, Shen Mo looked into the depths, behind him were 30 damaged stone steps. Higher up, the stone platform was shrouded in immortal light and colorful haze. Faint Daoist sounds emanated from it, and illusory Daoist fruits were suspended above the platform. However, there was nothingness ahead, and the steps leading to the platform had not yet materialized.
Previously, there was a big battle between Su Qingtao and her disciple on the Immortal Platform, and three levels of stone steps appeared in succession. However, until the moment when the Demon Lord held onto it and Su Qingtao escaped, the thirty-second level of stone steps did not appear.
沈墨心中隐隐有感，他成仙劫数恐怕已经到了后期，登仙台后续最多再显化五层石阶。
而三十六层石阶已是他的极限，哪怕他底蕴深厚异常、实力强悍无比，也没法一口气登到第三十七层及以上，直接修成天仙！
However, being able to reach this step, he is already satisfied in his heart. After all, even extraordinary talents like Jiuxiao Xuannü can only achieve the status of a deity when they become immortal.
Retracting his focus, Shen Mo took out the bronze short spear and the True Dragon Garrison Monument.
Both of these are immortal-level magic weapons, and they all fell into Shen Mo's hands after Aohao, the incarnation of Hu Tianzun, died.
The spiritual consciousness of the Zhuxian Qing Bronze Halberd seems to be unaware of Aohao being refined into an incarnation by Hu Tianzun, maybe it used to know, but its relevant memories were erased by Hu Tianzun through secret methods.
After the God of Heaven, Xuhao, refined Aohao into an incarnation, he took everything from him, including his physical body, soul, magical powers, and immortal cultivation, etc. After erasing the memory of the bronze short spear, he can effortlessly activate this immortal weapon!
The bronze weapon spirit, until now, still believed that its new master Ao Hao had died in the hands of Shen Mo. No matter how he tried to communicate, there was no response, let alone the cooperation of the weapon spirit. He couldn't remove the lingering soul and imprint of the Great Dao left by Ao Hao, and refine this immortal tool into his own life treasure.
Shen Mo had no choice but to convert the "ins and outs of the matter" into a strand of divine thought and inject it into the bronze short spear, which was then sealed up, to be "enlightened with reason" in the future!
If the bronze weapon spirit can be trusted, it would be best, but if one still cannot trust, then one can only slowly wear them down. After all, he is not very good at using this type of treasure. Even if the weapon spirit is subdued, it will probably be given away.
The True Dragon Town Soldier Monument knows that Ao Hao was transformed into an incarnation by the Chitong Respected Lord, and it also knows that the True Dragon of the Qianlong River was exterminated by the master and disciple.
However, this stone tablet is different from other magic treasures.
The true dragon of the Qianlong River deliberately arranged the production of this ancestral treasure so that all members of the tribe could unite and activate it. Any pure-blooded true dragon can use the dragon's blood, which contains the essence of vitality and spirit.
In other words, the owner of this True Dragon Town's War Monument is not a specific True Dragon, but the entire True Dragon clan.
Generally speaking, activating this stone monument requires a cultivation level of sixth rank or above. If the cultivation level is insufficient, it can be supplemented with quantity, requiring a large number of fifth rank True Dragons to work together to activate it!
Because of this characteristic of the True Dragon Town Soldiers Monument, after the Seventh Rank True Dragon Ao Hao was refined into an incarnation by Lord Ku, he could also use this treasure to suppress the Earth Yuan Extermination Formation... The spirit of the monument knew that the true Ao Hao had died, but it was powerless to resist.
Shen Mo is not a true dragon, so he cannot refine or activate this immortal artifact unless he transforms into a true dragon like Lord Hu Tian did.
However, this treasure is not completely useless to him. Firstly, there are many drops of dragon blood from seventh-tier true dragons on the stone tablet. Secondly, there is also Cao Ren, a sixth-tier true dragon, within the sect.
Shen Mo's sword flashed faintly in his hand as he took out a dull gray dragon scale from the sword domain space. It was the eighth-order dragon scale he had wrested from Su Qingtao's hand.
This scale seemed ordinary at first glance, but through the probing of the Law-Gazing Candle, its extraordinary nature could be seen...
It contains an extremely terrifying power that is enough to destroy the entire Phoenix Unicorn Continent, and it also hides the supreme truth, which, if understood thoroughly, can even lead one to become an immortal.
However, even though Shen Mo possesses the Dragon Elephant Blood Corpse body, the Spirit Devouring skill, the Nirvana Without Dyeing skill, and other techniques and abilities, as well as the Evil Exorcising and Calamity Crossing Pill, he still doesn't dare to casually absorb its original power to enhance his cultivation realm. Otherwise, even his spiritual energy will be contaminated by this Eighth Order Dragon Scale and may even transform into a Seventh Order True Dragon!
For the true dragon clan, this is undoubtedly an invaluable treasure, and they would even be willing to exchange it with immortal artifacts such as the Army Control Tablet. However, Shen Mo has no such intention.
He wants to take this dragon scale and refine a immortal talisman.
Previously, due to the lack of immortal source power in his body, he was unable to refine a seventh-grade immortal talisman, but now he can.
Moreover, he calculated three formulas for divine ink, and the main ingredients are different varieties of seventh-order true dragon dragon blood.
Just got my hands on the Dragon Guardian Monument, which contains a large amount of dragon blood from many powerful True Dragons, including quite a few at the Seventh Order. This is enough for me to try and make multiple batches of Spirit Ink!
With this in mind, Shen Mo resisted vigorously against the Town Soldiers Monument, casting a spell to take away one-third of the dragon blood, causing the Heavenly Seal inscription to dim significantly.
"It should be enough!"
Shen Mo was just about to pour the dragon blood into a specially made jade bottle, when suddenly, he noticed that the droplets of blood started to twist and distort, emitting a faint and elusive dragon chant.
After leaving the Town Defense Tablet, these dragon blood droplets became separate entities, inevitably influenced by the Dream Path and the Way of Creation. Before long, they will transform into small true dragons. Even if they are all killed, it will be impossible to restore their original spirituality!
After a brief thought, Shen Mo swiftly displayed the Yu Guang Sword Technique, sealing the dragon blood along with the jade bottle into a temporal seal. He would retrieve them later when preparing the Ling Ink and crafting immortal talismans.
Upon completing these tasks, he dove into the Qianlong River and found that the original habitat of the true dragons had turned into a lifeless wasteland, with not a single true dragon surviving. Even the nearby aquatic creatures were ignorant of the annihilation of the true dragon clan!
According to Shen Mo's information, there are still three Seventh Order True Dragons from the Qianlong River, but they are all still on the path of conquest, surrounding and killing the true body of the Tianzun of the Xuande.
In the current situation, there will probably be one Seventh Order True Dragon returning to the Immortal Realm, and the Kunlun Mountain Dragon Clan ancestral land will also send a group of True Dragons to take over the Qianlong River blessed land...
Confirming that all members of the True Dragon Clan in the Qianlong River have been annihilated, Shen Mo summoned Cao Ren and had a secret discussion with him for a long time.
Afterwards, Cao Ren took the remains of Ao Hao and the True Dragon Monument, and went to the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan in Kunlun Continent!
Two months later, news came from Cao Ren that he had brought more than thirty true dragons born in his ancestral land and had taken control of the Hidden Dragon River. He was now waiting for the return of the seventh-order true dragon Ao Xun on the path of conquest to the immortal realm.
"With the Zhenbing Monument in hand and the true dragon brought from our ancestral land, we should be able to gain considerable bargaining power even when facing a seventh-order true dragon!" Shen Mo pondered silently.
……
Mount Wulong, Cold Jade Cave Mansion.
Under the resonance of lingering music and mysterious Taoist sounds, the interior of the mansion is filled with various divine lights and wonders. The mist and daylight reflect each other, and auspicious birds and spiritual immortals dance together. Ice and snow intertwine with blazing flames, and yin and yang give birth to endless changes...
After a long time, many visions slowly dissipated, revealing a cold jade mine covering several acres, with two almost perfect bodies lying on top, covered by clouds and mist.
Having just completed the "Yin Yang Same Participation Secret Scroll" cultivation, Shen Mo embraced Chen Mengze and spoke some intimate words before suddenly asking, "There are still more than ten days until your celebration of becoming formless. Have you thought about what kind of gift you want?"
The Non-Phase Realm is the final realm below the True Immortal realm. Even if placed in the Immortal's Realm, these strong individuals can be considered as the core of the core. Only a few people have reached this realm in the past tens of thousands of years.
If someone in a certain cultivation force achieves the state of Formlessness, unless there is a special reason, they will generally hold a grand celebration to announce it to the world. On the one hand, it can gather people's hearts, and on the other hand, it can enhance the influence of the sect.
The Red Flame Sect is no exception in this regard, and it has hosted a total of six celebrations since Fan Ying started a thousand years ago.
Some time ago, Chen Mengze entered the Non-existence Realm, and naturally there should have been a corresponding ceremony, but it was delayed due to various incidents.
Things are relatively peaceful at the moment, and her promotion ceremony is also on the schedule.
"I don't lack anything now, I just want you to spend more time with me..." Chen Mengze smiled and turned over, pressing Shen Mo under her.
Leaving the Cold Jade Cave, Shen Mo went to the Yaochi Domain.
During the years he was trapped in the Time Seal, over eight hundred years passed in the outside world, while time flowed ten times faster in the Yaochi Domain. After eight or nine thousand years of cultivation, the three Thundering Peach Trees finally advanced to the sixth level.
A while ago, these three peach trees bloomed and produced fruit for the first time after their promotion. Counting the days, the peaches should be ripe now.
Coincidentally, Shen Mo doesn't know what to give to Chen Mengze. If the newly grown Thundering Immortal Peaches have the same spiritual power effect as before, using them as a gift would also be good.
When Shen Mo arrived, the Flower Fairy Amy was already waiting in the Yaochi domain.
Seeing him coming, she immediately turned into a glimmer of fireflies and fell on his shoulder, constantly rubbing his cheeks with her wings, and said in her baby voice, "Shen Miluo, a part of the Thundering Fairy Peaches has ripened, but Amy hasn't tasted them yet, so I don't know what the effect is like."
Shen Mo's gaze looked towards the area of the Jade Pool, and he saw a plethora of strange flowers, rare plants, and precious spirit plants, except for two places that were somewhat empty.
One of them was the perennial enlightenment tea tree, which was cultivated from a branch of the spiritual tea tree of the Ancient Vine Sect.
Under the influence of the temporal and spatial power of the spirit immortal instrument, it has acquired a tree age of 15,000 years, and has grown in the Yaochi domain for nearly 10,000 years, resulting in a tree age of over 20,000 years. The newly grown leaves of the enlightenment tea have an even better effect than the one from the ancient vine faction.
Another place is the peak where the three Thundering Peach Trees are located, with no other spiritual plants except for the Thunderlight Grass under the shade of the trees.
Although they have grown for eight or nine thousand years, these three peach trees are still not very thick, similar to ordinary peach trees with a ten-year age, but they are adorned with green and red peaches, totaling more than one hundred and fifty, full of spirituality!
Under the "Fa Yan Zhu Wei" technique, Shen Mo easily saw which peaches were ripe and which ones were still immature, and then reached out and picked two ripe fairy peaches.
One of them was given to Ah Mi, who had been cultivating and taking care of these three peach trees for many years, and it can be said that she worked hard and achieved a lot.
Another plum was bitten directly by Shen Mo, and his brow furrowed immediately due to the sourness.
It felt as if being struck by lightning, and an indescribable strong sourness could be felt, lingering in the mouth.
Even though the sense of taste was sealed, the sour and astringent sensation spread with the aura in the peach flesh, circulating through the mouth and stomach and reaching every organ, limb, and even causing a slight shudder in the soul.
However, soon afterwards, this sour feeling quickly dissipated like a summer thunderstorm, and a warm and sweet sensation spread in the mouth. There were bursts of thunderous sounds resonating throughout the body and soul, and one could feel a vigorous vitality emerging from within, sweeping away the previous discomfort.
"Unfortunately... the effect is still not so good!"
