The nearest Luosha Sub-Palace to Cloudsea City was situated in the southern part of the Luosha Kingdom, still hundreds of miles away from the city. For normal horses, even seven days of continuous riding without stopping would not be enough to reach the destination.
However, to save time, Ye Mo specially cultivated a few Sound Morphing Seals that had the effect of allowing one to travel at the speed of sound. Mu Qing was extremely shocked by Ye Mo’s seal cultivating abilities. While the Sound Morphing Seal was only a Level Two Seal, the fact that Ye Mo had the time and concentration to cultivate seals was extremely rare.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Hearing a wind-piercing sound around his ear, Ye Mo could no longer control his own body. With frightening speed, he arrived at the Luosha Sub-Palace within half a day of travel.
“Who would’ve thought that using the Sound Morphing Seal would increase our speed by so much,” Mu Qing commented in awe as they stopped in front of the Luosha Sub-Palace.
“The seals that I cultivate will not be able to be found in the Luosha Kingdom. Before I leave, I will give you a few rare ones. I guarantee you will be shocked.”
Ye Mo flicked Mu Qing’s head. Looking up, he saw a majestic palace, and two large words could be seen on the top of the palace.
Luosha Sub-Palace!
“So, this is the Luosha Sub-Palace?” Ye Mo looked at the palace with trepidation in his heart. Even the Qingyun League’s Martial Saint Hall cannot be compared to this palace.
Mu Qing said calmly as she rubbed her forehead, “Yes, it is. Including the Luosha Palace inside Luosha City, there are a total of 108 sub-palaces. Each sub-palace has a palace master in the Spirit Devour Realm.”
“108?” Ye Mo’s eyes widened. This meant that there were at least 108 fighters in the Spirit Devour Realm in the Luosha Kingdom. There might very well be a significant number of fighters in the Transcendence Realm as well – kingdoms of greater status were indeed a different class on their own.
“Yes, these 108 palace masters are all part of the royalty’s force. Let’s head in!” As she spoke, Mu Qing led Ye Mo up the stairs. After half a minute, Ye Mo and Mu Qing found themselves situated in front of the arena of the Luosha Sub-Palace. At that moment, there were already tens of people waiting at the arena, with some even on their knees.
A group of guards wearing Luosha Masks walked by but did not acknowledge them.
“These people are all nobodies who want to cultivate the Luosha Mark. In the Luosha Kingdom, life is worse than being a beggar if you do not have the mark.” As she spoke, Mu Qing brought Ye Mo to the front gate of the sub-palace amid envious eyes.
One of the guards stationed outside the sub-palace shouted as he stopped Ye Mo and Mu Qing in their paths. “Hey, the two of you, do you know the rules? Since you are already adults and have yet to enter the blood pool, you have to kneel here in the arena and chant “Long live Luosha Emperor”. After one month, we will let you into the Luosha Blood Pool if your sincerity and faith touch the Emperor.”
“Mister Luosha Guard, I am Mu Qing, from the Mu Family of the Cloudsea City. This is my husband, Ye Mo. Last night, the deputy sub-palace master personally hosted my wedding. My husband is from the Tianwu Kingdom, and was forced to escape here to the Luosha Kingdom after being wanted by the Tianwu royalty.”
Mu Qing’s words were multi-layered. One, Ye Mo being hunted down by the Tianwu Kingdom meant that his faith would not be in the Tianwu Emperor. Two, the fact that the deputy sub-palace master hosted their wedding meant that the two of them knew him personally.
“Oh?” Hearing that, the man took a scroll out of his Dimensional Bracelet. The scroll had the names of those entering the Luosha Blood Pool today, and Ye Mo’s name was included on the list.
The man said, “You must be Ye Mo, right? You can enter. As for you, wait outside!”
“Go on, Ye Mo. Enter the Luosha Blood Pool and be extremely careful. Don’t be too greedy with the energy inside the Luosha Blood Pool. Many fighters end up absorbing too much of its energy as they try to increase their strength. However, their bodies end up not being able to withstand the energy, and they end up imploding and dying.” Mu Qing reminded him like a dutiful daughter-in-law.
“Yes!” Ye Mo nodded his head as he headed into the sub-palace.
The moment he entered the sub-palace, he was led to one side by the Luosha guard, where he stood together with a lady clad in purple clothes who was about the same age as him.
There were two groups of people inside the palace who were waiting to enter the Luosha Blood Pool. One group consisted of those without any martial arts training at all, while the other group that consisted of fighters only had Ye Mo and the purple-clad lady in it.
“You have two more hours before the Luosha Blood Pool opens up. The duration permitted is a single day. For those who have yet to unlock the entrances in their bodies, entering the Luosha Blood Pool represents an opportunity for you all. Enter the pool and take advantage of the blood pool’s power within. Unlock all the entrances with a single move and officially become a fighter.”
One of the leaders amongst the Luosha guards turned to Ye Mo and the lady in purple after speaking and told them, “You two are not from the Luosha Kingdom. Both of you are voluntarily joining the Luosha Kingdom. Once you manage to cultivate the Luosha Mark, you will then become a citizen of the Luosha Kingdom. As for what kind of Luosha Mark you will be able to cultivate in the pool and how much you can benefit from this, it all depends on your level of training.”
After that, the team leader brought Ye Mo and the woman to a palace entrance, where guards could be seen stationed. He gave the guards an order before bringing the two of them to the palace room. Inside the palace room, there was an illustration of a giant Luosha Ghost on the wall. There were two streams of dark purple blood flowing down either side of the ghost. The two streams of blood flowed down towards the center of a square-shaped pool that gave off a purplish red color.
“Is this Luosha Kingdom’s Luosha Blood Pool that is capable of cultivating the Luosha Mark?” The lady in purple had a look of shock on her face too.
“That’s correct. The reason why our Luosha Kingdom has been able to remain so strong throughout the dynasties, and become one of the most dominant kingdoms is that we have the Luosha Pool. Alright, both of you, enter the blood pool at once. After you two enter the pool, the doors of the palace room will close automatically. No one else will be able to enter. You will only be allowed to come up after one day.” After that, the leader left.
Without hesitation, Ye Mo and the lady in purple walked towards the Luosha Blood Pool. Nearing it, they could subtly feel that there was strange energy being released from within the Luosha Blood Pool.
“It’s a different aura from the Luosha Evil Ghost, but extremely pure and straightforward as well.” Ye Mo was secretly shocked in his heart. This Luosha Blood Pool was indeed something special.
The lady in purple said calmly, “Turn your head around. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
It was only at this moment that Ye Mo took a serious look at the lady in purple. Clad in purple attire, she had a long head of purple hair and an icy, beautiful appearance, giving off an awe-inspiring feeling. However, what followed was a wave of bone-chilling coldness. This coldness was not given off by her appearance, but her aura, which felt murderous.
Furthermore, he could not pinpoint her level of training.
“What is the reason behind this?”
“When entering the Luosha Blood Pool, absorbing its powers with no clothes on is the most effective method.” The lady in purple did not explain further.
“Oh, I see.”
Ye Mo smiled before he turned around. Following that, he heard some rustling sounds – it was the lady in purple stripping off her clothes. Following that, he heard the sound of something dropping into the water.
“You can come in now,” The lady in purple said to Ye Mo while back-facing him, her entire body submerged in the Luosha Blood Pool.
Ye Mo took no time in taking off his clothes as well as he immediately jumped into the pool.
