“Transcendence Skyline?” Ye Mo stared into the distance in shock. The Transcendence Skyline was already gone, but the single moment it had appeared was seared into his memory. If he’d been anywhere near that skyline, he would have been reduced to nothingness.

“Auntie, someone’s entered the Transcendence Realm?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.

The force of the Transcendence Skyline was too great. When the skyline appeared, his very soul trembled. The Transcendence Realm wasn’t the highest realm in existence either. There were realms beyond it.

“Yes,” Xuan Ji said with a frown. “I wonder who in the Tianwu Kingdom is advancing into the Transcendence Realm. A new Transcendence Realm powerhouse will definitely shake up the status quo. The balance between the Emperor Faction and the Martial Faction could change completely.”

“Auntie, let’s go home. It’s only one advance into the Transcendence Realm. With your talent, you’ll be able to do the same soon,” Ye Mo said.

The two streaked back toward the Qingyun League. When they returned to Xuan Ji’s cultivation room, Ye Mo had a thoughtful expression on his face, piquing Xuan Ji’s curiosity. Then, Ye Mo took out the Star Map and said, “Auntie, look!”

“A Star Map?” Xuan Ji’s eyes went wide. She spoke in astonishment, “Mo’er, how did you get a Star Map? It’s said that Star Maps are formed by 108 Star Tears. If I could comprehend all the constellations on it, I could obtain Star Power, and I’d be able to integrate it into my Phoenix Power. I would even be able to charge into the Transcendence Realm in one go. Not even the Transcendence Skyline could do anything to me.”

“It’s that powerful? Auntie, I was already planning to give this Star Map to you. If you can enter the Transcendence Realm, as your nephew, I’d be able to bask in your light as well,” Ye Mo said with a laugh.

“Mo’er, are you really giving it to me?” Xuan Ji asked. “The Star Map is extremely precious. If you use it to cultivate yourself, it would help you greatly.”

“Auntie, I have my own cultivation method that’s plenty powerful,” Ye Mo said. “Even without the Star Map, I can still advance quickly. You need it, not me. Now that there’s another Transcendance Realm powerhouse besides the emperor, and since we have no idea if this person’s a friend or an enemy, your advancement will be good for both me and the Qingyun League. You’ll be able to protect us.”

Xuan Ji had been treating him like her own son. She had protected him when he was breaking into the True Energy Realm. The relationship between them was more important than a Star Map.

“Fine, if that’s the case, I won’t hold back,” Xuan Ji declared and accepted the Star Map. “When I reach the Transcendence Realm, we’ll see who still dares to lay a hand on you.”

League Leader Hall, meeting room

Several dozen people sat around the room. The atmosphere was repressive, everyone had their brows tightly knitted.

“Everyone felt the same thing, right?” Yao Qingyun said with a sigh, expression solemn. “After so many years, a new Transcendence Realm powerhouse has appeared in the Tianwu Kingdom.”

“Who could it be?” Feng Qingyang asked. “Of the powerhouses in the Spirit Devour Realm, aside from Xuan Ji, Castellan Cai Ling from City of Daughters has the most potential to enter the Transcendence Realm. Could it be her?”

“Now that Xuan Ji is putting all her focus into nurturing Ye Mo, if we can use Ye Mo to pull her into the Martial Faction, we might get our own Transcendence Realm powerhouse as well.”

“Nobody can ever guess Xuan Ji’s thoughts. But since the Transcendence Skyline has appeared, most powerhouses in the kingdom would have sensed it as well. The Tianwu Kingdom will sink into chaos soon.”

Time passed, and slowly, the league war got nearer.

Ye Mo had spent all his time consolidating his cultivation in True Energy Realm and accompanying Yun Chuchu at Firecloud Pavilion while keeping up to date with the progress of the Sky Blood Spear.

One day before the league war, the Sky Blood Spear’s fusion process reached a new level.

Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu went to Yun Tianxie’s refining room. The room was filled with weapon shelves full of spears. All of the spears were designed like the Sky Blood Spear. When they walked in, Yun Tianxie was looking up at the sky with his hands clasped behind his back.

The weapon spirit of the Sky Blood Spear was hovering in the air, glowing crimson.

“So this is the weapon spirit of the Sky Blood Spear?” Ye Mo was somewhat shocked to see the hovering weapon spirit.

“This weapon spirit is too scary, Yun Tianxie said. “It devoured the Primordial Gold Stick’s weapon spirit. If I hadn’t stabilized it with the spirit plucking tool, it would have probably gone out of control.”

“What? Devoured?” Ye Mo looked at the weapon spirit with shock.

“That’s right. And I’ve discovered that while the weapon spirit of Sky Blood Spear isn’t as powerful as an Immortal Weapon, it has the intelligence of one. If my guess is correct, your Sky Blood Spear can only truly recover by devouring weapon spirits.”

Yun Tianxie went on, “I had originally thought that fusing weapon spirits could help the Sky Blood Spear reach the level of Bejeweled Weapon, but the weapon spirit of the Sky Blood Spear views fusing with the Primordial Gold Stick’s weapon spirit with contempt. Instead, it just devoured the Primordial Gold Stick’s weapon spirit. That made it stronger. It’s reached the level of high-grade Spirit Weapon. If it’s allowed to devour another weapon spirit, it might be able to reach the level of Bejeweled Weapon.”

“Devouring weapon spirits for advancement?” Ye Mo’s eyes lit up. He took out the Daomark Gloves from his pocket and said, “Would these Daomark Gloves work?”

“The Daomark Gloves are a powerful Spirit Weapon, and they enhance defensive martial techniques. Are you really going to feed them to the Sky Blood Spear?” Yun Tianxie asked, not at all surprised to see Ye Mo taking out a Spirit Weapon.

“I’m not used to using them,” Ye Mo said. “Might as well give it a try and see if I can get the Sky Blood Spear to reach the Bejeweled Weapon level instead.”

“Sure, you can try, but you might not be able to use this weapon during the league war,” Yun Tianxie said.

The league war was tomorrow. To let the Sky Blood Spear’s weapon spirit to devour the Daomark Gloves’ weapon spirit, they would have to first separate the Daomark Gloves from their weapon spirit. Only after the separating process could the Sky Blood Spear’s weapon spirit start fusing with the gloves.

Clearly, they didn’t have enough time for that.

Ye Mo frowned. “Martial Uncle Yun, how many days do you need?”

“Two days, at least,” Yun Tianxie said. “Ye Mo, even though you’ve entered the True Energy Realm, there are a lot of powerhouses in the league war. Both Wushuang League and Tiandi League have Heaven’s Gate Realm members. And the three powerhouses representing the kingdom are powerful as well. I don’t think you should devour the gloves for now. I’ll be able to complete the Sky Blood Spear for you right after the league war. With a Spirit Weapon in hand, it’ll be easier for you to earn a spot.”

Those capable of participating in the league war were the most outstanding talents of the Tianwu Kingdom. Every one of them would have a Spirit Weapon on hand.

“So what if I don’t have a Spirit Weapon? I’ll just crush them with my own hands!”
