“Brother Dongfang is right. It won’t be easy for Ye Mo to get the position of honorary sealing artist.”

Right after Dongfang Ao spoke, a different voice sounded from the distant. A middle-aged man in robes was slowly walking over. Also walking over with him was Ye Changsheng. A badge was hung on the chest of the middle-aged man. The badge had the insignia of a seal drawn on it, and on the insignia were two flagpoles. This was a second order sealing artist.

A department in charge of certifying a sealing artist’s rank existed in Qingyun League. This was a very powerful department. The badge this person wore was proof that he was a real second order sealing artist.

“Isn’t that Huo Qingyun? I heard he had been a second order sealing artist for a couple of years. A seal casually refined by him would have a multitude of league members going mad fighting over it.”

“I thought he has been rejecting the recruitment of the three major sub-leagues all this time.”

The league members around them were astonished when they saw him.

“Haha, so it’s Master Huo. You finally show yourself after getting invited by Ye Changsheng.” When Dongfang Ao saw Huo Qingyun and Ye Changsheng coming, he laughed and greeted. Ye Mo did not look at Master Huo. Rather, his gaze was fixed on Ye Changsheng. He had actually reached Energy Shaping Fifth Realm.

“Ling’er, how is it possible for Ye Changsheng to increase his strength this fast? I had to rely on both the Rising Dragon Pillar and going through trials of life and death just to reach Energy Shaping Third Realm.”

With Ye Mo’s current strength, Ye Changsheng was still not his match. Therefore, he did not really care. However, he was still bewildered by the speed of Ye Changsheng’s growth.

“Ye Changsheng normally has a regular physique. But now, Ling’er can feel that it is slowly transforming into a Hellfire Physique. Tsk tsk, the Hellfire Pearl is no weaker than a spirit weapon. Ye Changsheng is definitely still in the process of refining that Hellfire Pearl. Otherwise, his strength would have reached Energy Shaping Eight Realm by now. On top of that, he would have a complete Hellfire Physique.”

Ling’er paused for a bit and continued, “That Xuan Ji sure is generous with him. If you are the one being given the same resources he had been given, you would have been undefeated within the Energy Shaping Realm by now.”

Ye Changsheng was a genius within Limestone City. However, he was rather normal within Qingyun League. But thanks to League Chief Xuan Ji taking care of him, his cultivation speed was nearly matchless.

Ling’er continued, “Don’t bother overthinking it. If you can reach Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, even after Ye Changsheng fully refines the Hellfire Pearl, he still won’t be a match for you.”

“I will first join the Xuan Ji Sub-league before focusing on reaching Energy Shaping Fourth Realm.”

Huo Qingyun clasped his hand and greeted politely. Without even sparing Ye Mo a glance, he said to the person in charge of registration, “I’m Huo Qingyun, here to register for this selection.”

That person in charge had obviously heard of Huo Qingyun before. Without thinking about it, he immediately started filling out Huo Qingyun’s details. Ye Mo clasped his hands at the people from Jin Xiu Sub-league and Ling Xuan Sub-league and prepared to leave.

When Ye Changsheng saw that Ye Mo was about to leave, he shouted loudly, “Ye Mo, enjoy the little time you have left.”

“That Ye Changsheng is too arrogant. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill him.” Ye Mo muttered as he started heading towards his cave. While passing by a certain palace, a gust of wind blew past him and pulled him in. When Ye Mo recovered his senses, he found that he had arrived at a forest. Standing behind him was his master, Elder Feng.

After a moment of surprise, Ye Mo said in joy, “Master, you’re back.”

“Master already knows about what you did. If master’s guess is correct, you must had defeated him by mastering the human spear unity.”

As Elder Feng spoke, he turned around and revealed the other half of his face that was completely scorched black. When Ye Mo saw this, he cried out in disbelief, “Master, what happened to you?”

Elder Feng was a top expert at the Divine Realm. Someone was actually capable of injuring him?

“I exchanged pointers with someone. It does not matter. I heard you are trying to join Xuan Ji Sub-league to fight for that chief elect position?” Elder Feng asked.

“That’s right, master. To get the Cosmos Qi, I have to participate in the league war. The vacant chief elect of Xuan Ji Sub-league is my only chance. I have to fight for it.” Ye Mo nodded.

“I have heard about Ye Changsheng as well. He also has the Spirit of Hellfire with him. That was your father’s weapon,” said Elder Feng.

“That Ye Changsheng is the son of the head of our Ye Clan. Perhaps the clan head had taken my father’s spirit weapon when he died.”

This was the only explanation for that. After all, the Ye Clan was completely lacking of any feeling or sense of justice. Stealing a spirit weapon was something they could very well do.

“You are wrong. That Spirit of Hellfire might be something League Chief Xuan Ji gave him.”

“What?” Ye Mo cried out in astonishment before continuing, “How is that possible? Was Chief League Xuan Ji the one who had killed my father and took his spirit weapon?”

“Killing him? Hehe. With your father’s strength back then, Xuan Ji, Shangguan Ling Xuan, or Xiao Jin were far from his match. In Tianwu Kingdom, apart from the emperor, nobody could defeat your father,” said Elder Feng.

“What’s going on then?” Ye Mo asked anxiously. He had always wanted to know what happened to his father. However, Elder Feng would rarely tell him about this.

“Xuan Ji was in love with your father, but your mother had appeared out of nowhere to snatch your father from her. Xuan Ji had a resolute and upright character. Therefore, she could both love and hate deeply. Since then, she had wanted to kill your father. She mounted 10 ambushes on your father yet not a single one of them was a success.”

“Looks like father used to be quite a playboy back then!” Ye Mo smiled helplessly. He had never expected that his father would have such a playboy past.

“Master, who exactly is my mother?” Ye Mo immediately asked.

“I am not sure either. I only know that her identity is extremely mysterious. Not even I have seen her before.” Elder Feng then shook his head and continued, “Therefore, my advice is to not join Xuan Ji Sub-league since you are Ye Qing’s son. The moment Xuan Ji finds out that you’re the son of Ye Qing and Zi Ning, she will definitely kill you. Not even the league leader can save you. Xuan Ji’s strength has already reached a level nobody can imagine.”

In Xuan Ji Sub-league, there would be Ye Changsheng, who would try everything to kill Ye Mo. On top of that, if Xuan Ji found out Ye Mo was Ye Qing’s son, even Xuan Ji herself would kill him. Therefore, his path towards the chief elect position almost equaled to sure death.

“But if I miss this league war, how long will I have to wait to refine the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram? How am I supposed to defeat the emperor?”

As Ye Mo thought of this, he started clenching his fists tightly. After refining the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, his cultivation speed would increase by five times. That would be his biggest trump card to defeat the emperor.

“Sister Qi Ying, I will not disappoint you. I am definitely getting that chief elect position!”
