  The middle aged man stared at Ye Mo in shock “you’re indeed smart, you can guess that I’m guarding something here.”

  But Ye Mo still asked in confusion “you know I killed those sand soul beasts but you’re guarding something here, why are you still keeping them? After you finish your mission are you not going to ascend to the immortal realm but instead dominate Luo Yue continent?”

  The middle aged man seemed to think Ye Mo couldn’t escape from him and said after some silence “I didn’t keep those sand soul beasts and evil spirits. My mission is just to stay and guard the platform, everything else has nothing to do with me.

  “do you think that many sand soul beasts are needed to dominate Luo Yue continent?” the middle aged man said coldly seeing Ye Mo starting to contemplate again.

  Ye Mo agreed to this. with that many sand soul beasts it was enough to annihilate the entire Luo Yue continent a few times.

  Annihilate all Luo Yue continent cultivators? Ye Mo was scared by this crazy idea but then he immediately realized his idea was not impossible. If all those sand soul beasts left the forbidden grounds, how could the cultivators of Luo Yue continent not be slaughtered clean?

  Thinking about this, Ye Mo’s mind cleared up. A powerful being in the immortal realm sealed a chaos treasure here. As for why he didn’t take it to the immortal realm, he was probably scared of being caught with it.

  This powerful being knew that if the chi spilled, everyone would go crazy for it. thus, he sealed it in the cultivation realm and sealed the immortal ascension tunnel. As for those sand soul beasts, it was really probably to slaughter all of the cultivators on Luo Yue continent.

  After all, if the space seal disappeared, then the Luo Yue continent cultivators would be able to ascend to the immortal realm. then, the fact that they couldn’t immortal ascension would be brought up and the immortal realm might send people down here to check. Then, they might find this chaos item.

  So, after the powerful being takes the item, he might really annihilate the entire Luo Yue continent. Ye Mo was scared by his conjecture. This was too absurd but it wasn’t impossible.

  “you ruined most of master’s plan, stay and help master finish the rest and you may be spared.” The middle aged man continued.

  Ye Mo sneered, there was no way he was going to do that.

  \r \r \r

  “it’s probably your master who stopped the immortal ascension here right? You want me to reseal it right? Those sand soul beasts are to annihilate the entire Luo Yue continent right?”

  The middle aged man stared at Ye Mo in shock “no wonder you can reach truth realisation state level seven at such a young age. You’re much smarter than ordinary people but my master didn’t seal the immortal ascension here. My master just set up seal flags that blocked the calling of immortal ascension. Now that you damaged the seal flags, the cultivators can sense the calling of immortal ascension.”

  Seeing that Ye Mo was dubious, the man continued “plus, it’s not just Luo Yue continent that can’t immortal ascension, the nearby cultivation realms also can’t.”

  Ye Mo thought of Fang Yizong, the Black Rock city cultivators. They didn’t come from Luo Yue continent but they also couldn’t immortal ascension.

  “then how come people can immortal ascension after I broke the seal flag.” Ye Mo definitely didn’t believe those flags just blocked the immortal ascension calling. He was a level nine formation grand master. He knew clearly that it stopped cultivators from immortal ascension.

  The middle aged man also frowned and said after a moment “it’s probably because the immortal ascension tunnel was opened by someone else. Thus, when you damaged the seal flag, the cultivators sense immortal ascension calling.”

  The middle aged man seemed to be very patient talking with Ye Mo probably because he hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long time.

  After he answered all those questions, the middle aged man said “I’ve let you know what you should. Now, open your soul and let me make a mark. Then do as I tell you and seal those seal flags. I believe if you do these, master will let you go.”

  Ye Mo looked at the man pitifully “to be hoenst, I’m not scared of you. The reason I’m speaking with you is because I feel you’re very pitiful. I can tell you for sure that the seal flags didn’t just seal the calling to immortal ascension, it also stopped immortal ascension itself. Believe it or not up to you. Your master used all means necessary to stop Luo Yue cultivators from immortal ascension and is even willing to slaughter the entire continent. Do you think he would let you go in the future? You’re naïve like a fool.”

  The middle aged man heard this and dazed. After a while, he murmured “impossible, this is impossible. He swore to me, cultivators can’t just make oath casually.”

  “he swore?” Ye Mo was confused. Cultivators couldn’t just make simple oaths. Unless it was some extremely powerful cultivator, ordinary cultivators would go threw heart demon crisis if they didn’t follow their oath.

  Seeing Ye Mo daze, the middle aged man sneered “you wanted to alienate me and master.”

  Ye Mo sneered “I would have the time to do that? Don’t think of yourself too highly.”

  The man suddenly grabbed at Ye Mo “since you don’t want to open up your soul then I’ll force a mark on you.”

  The middle aged man just grabbed casually but Ye Mo felt all the space nearby squeeze at him.

  This wasn’t domain. Ye Mo was shook, this the pressure of spirit chi. Hollow immortal cultivator was this powerful?

  Ye Mo hacked out with Zi Xu using Illusion Cloud Hua Mountain strike at full power.

  Thud.

  Sword and palm struck each other rattling the space here. Some purple sword rays even sliced out black crevices.

  At the same time of the collision, Ye Mo felt a powerful concussion. He really wanted to stop himself but he still flew back smashing into the level nine water separation formation.

  His dan tian rustled and Ye Mo almost spat a mouthful of blood. The next moment, Ye Mo immediately flew up. He knew he was no match for this person.

  But then, Ye Mo immediately felt a powerful pressure. He was sealed in this space. He set up this water separation formation but he couldn’t go out. Ye Mo realized, when he came into the river, he was already under this man’s control. No wonder he wasn’t scared that he would get away.

  He intentionally let him set up the formation or he wouldn’t be able to do it at all. Ye Mo knew that hollow immortal must be a huge level above truth realisation state but he didn’t expect the gap to be this huge.

  He couldn’t get away so Ye Mo stopped. Even if he had to fight with his life, it didn’t mean he would lose to this guy. He had so many means he hadn’t used yet.

  This hollow immortal was more shocked than Ye Mo. He knew Ye Mo was powerful or he wouldn’t be able to slaughter a few hundred million sand soul beasts. That kitchen knife of his is very extraordinary, he didn’t expect to be injured by it.

  He looked at his bloodied hand. He suddenly felt much more sober. He had stayed here for countless years unable to cultivate. He could only just sit here.

  The thing he didn’t want to think of the most was why he stayed here.

  Ye Mo saw this hollow immortal just look at his palm and have no intention of fighting so he stopped. He was thinking of how he could kill this hollow immortal.

  The hollow immortal cultivator suddenly looked at Ye Mo “do you know my power level?”

  “yes, you’re a hollow immortal cultivator.” Ye Mo was confused why this guy asked something irrelevant.

  The middle aged man nodded “that’s right, I’m a hollow immortal cultivator but I, Cheng Shen, am no ordinary hollow immortal cultivator. I rarely have a match in the same cultivation level. You can injure me with one strike meaning that with your power, you can kill ordinary hollow immortal. So, I know there’s no need for you to alienate me.”

  He paused and said again “master told me like this at the time “if Cheng Sheng can keep his oath and stay in the cultivation realm for 12000 years guarding all of the Abyssal river stone platform, I, Lu Zhengqun will never harm him at all. If I disobey this oath, I will be struck by lightning and lose my soul under the divine damnation, never to have a second chance again.”

  He then stared at Ye Mo and asked “do you think there’s a problem with this oath?”
