“Why? Why?” Ye Mo roared at the sky. “Have I endured everything, worked this hard for this?”

From the moment he had heard about the league war, it had become his obsession. To win the Cosmos Qi, to refine the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, to prove himself to Qi Ying.

All his work, everything he’d done, was now meaningless. The champion of the competition had been decided in advance. If he defeated Cao Zheng, he might end up being killed instead.

“Brother Ye Mo, just do it!” Ling’er came out of Ye Mo’s Energy Center and hugged Ye Mo.

Ye Mo felt like an injured child, who needed someone to comfort him.

“Do it? You think I should stick to my goal and defeat Cao Zheng?” Ye Mo asked Ling’er hesitantly.

“Yes. You should,” Ling’er said. “Both the princess and Qi Ying have good intentions, but you’ve come so far, you have no way back. If you stop fighting you’ll never forgive yourself. Even your future cultivation might be obstructed by regret.”

“You’re right,” Ye Mo said. “A man should always strive to be strong, to dominate everything. Even if I am going to fail, I’ll just return to the dust and become one with nature again. Man came from nature in the first place. And if I succeed, I’ll be the lord of my life!”

He made up his mind, deciding to battle for nobody’s sake except himself. He would figth for his desire, a desire to become strong.

With that realization, his Heart Minion jumped, feeling elated on Ye Mo’s behalf.

“Thank you, Ling’er,” Ye Mo said. “I won’t let anybody stop my advance. That Cao Zhengchun refined my father’s Transcendence Golden Body to enter the Transcendence Realm. Damn him!”

“Brother Ye Mo, the cultivation method Cao Zhengchun practiced is of the lightning element,” Ling’er explained. “As for the Hellfire Wargod Transcendence Body, it’s a fire element Transcendence Body. Even if he’s in the Transcendence Realm now, he’s one of the weakest of those in the realm. If he tries anything against you, I’ll have a way to guarantee your safety.”

“Is that true?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment. “Ling’er, can you block the attack of a Transcendence Realm powerhouse?”

Ling’er’s expression shifted slightly before a smiled reappeared, “Of course.”

“Haha, Ling’er, I love you. I will win the match tomorrow!” Ye Mo said before returning to his cultivation room. After the events of the evening, his mental state had transformed greatly, and his cultivation heart had advanced again. Initially, when he entered human spear unity, his spear would be three times stronger. Now, his spear would be four times stronger.

Ye Mo had once again become stronger.

“Brother Mo,” a cheerful shout sounded from the distant. Yun Chuchu ran over.

There was a formation at the Mirror Lake, but Ye Mo had brought Yun Chuchu there several times in the past, so Yun Chuchu was familiar with the way around, and wouldn’t trigger the formation’s defensive measures.

“Chuchu? What is it?” Ye Mo stood up.

“Brother Mo, it’s done. It’s done,” Chuchu said in excitement.

“What’s done?” Ye Mo asked, confused.

“The Sky Blood Spear, of course,” Chuchu said. “Grandfather said that he’s successfully upgraded the Sky Blood Spear into a Bejeweled Weapon.”

“A Bejeweled Weapon!” Ye Mo shouted in excitement. He dragged Yun Chuchu to the Firecloud Pavilion.

When they arrived at the weapon refining room of the pavilion, a spear about two meters long was hovering silently above the spirit plucking tool. From a distance, it looked like an ordinary weapon.

Yun Tianxie was sitting beside the spear. His upper body was naked and Blood Qi roiled around his body.

“Martial Uncle Yun, what happened to you?” Ye Mo asked without looking at the spear.

“Grandfather, what happened to you?” Chuchu’s expression shifted as well. She wanted to run to his side but Ye Mo stopped her.

“The refinement of the Sky Blood Spear was successful,” Yun Tianxie said, eyes shut, face contorted with pain, “but there’s been some backlash from the Blood Qi. It’s invading my body. Don’t come near me.”

“Backlash from the Blood Qi?” Ye Mo asked doubtfully. “What happened?”

“The Sky Blood Spear is too powerful,” Yun Tianxie explained. “When the weapon spirit reached the level of a Bejeweled Weapon, it erupted with the Blood Qi that invaded my body. If I wasn’t protecting my Energy Center with a vigorous true energy, I would have been killed on the spot. But don’t worry. I’m slowly pushing the Blood Qi out.”

“Martial Uncle Yun, let me take a look,” Ye Mo said as he slowly approached Yun Tianxie. “The Sky Blood Spear’s my weapon. The Blood Qi can’t do anything to me.”

“No, Ye Mo, stop,” Yun Tianxie said. “Before, the Blood Qi was released by a low-grade Spirit Weapon. But this was released by the spear as it transformed into a Bejeweled Weapon, its strongest moment. If my strength hadn’t been in the Energy Burst Realm, I would have been killed instantly.”

“Is a Bejeweled Weapon really that strong?” Ye Mo said in astonishment. “But this spear doesn’t feel spiritual at all. It feels like an ordinary weapon now.”

“That’s from the eruption of strength during the weapon’s advancement,” Yun Tianxie explained. “The current Sky Blood Spear might be a Bejeweled Weapon, but the weapon spirit is extremely lazy. It’s sleeping now, that’s why the spear looks completely ordinary.”

“Weapon spirits sleep as well?” Ye Mo asked in shock.

“Brother Ye Mo, a weapon spirit is a lifeform as well,” Ling’er said. “What’s so weird about a lifeform sleeping? In any case, the Sky Blood Spear’s original form was just an Immortal Weapon. A weapon at this level might even be able to converse with you when you enter the human spear unity.”

Conversing with the weapon spirit during human spear unity? Ye Mo couldn’t imagine it.

“Yes,” Yun Tianxie said. “After surpassing the level of an Immortal Weapon, the weapon spirit would’ve gained the ability of speech. Though your weapon’s weapon spirit is injured, it can still talk. Of course, an Immortal Weapon’s weapon spirit possesses is prideful, and that makes it hard to communicate with them as well.” By the time the explanation was over, he had driven the Blood Qi out of his body. But his complexion was still pale.

“Martial Uncle Yun, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Yun Tianxie said. “This Blood Qi’s too powerful. Ye Mo, since the Sky Blood Spear’s refinement has been successful, you’ll only be able to unleash the power of a Bejeweled Weapon if you can awaken the weapon spirit. That you’ll have to do yourself.”

Ye Mo nodded and grabbed the spear. The spearhead had changed yet again, now it was about 1/4 of the spear’s length. It was crimson colored and the spikes had all vanished. There were several seals set into the middle of the spearhead. It gave off a strange feeling of having returned to its true self.

Without the seals on the spearhead, it could have been mistaken for a common spear. It truly looked unremarkable.

“Is this really a Bejeweled Weapon?” Ye Mo was doubtful when he looked at the completely unremarkable spear.

“Brother Ye Mo, this is the true form of the Sky Blood Spear.”
