The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Nine-tailed Fox

“A hundred years? You’ve been alive for a hundred years? How is that possible?” Ye Mo asked in awe.

“Now that you’ve opposed the whole Pleasure Valley because of me, I guess I’ll tell you the truth,” Cai Ling said. “I’m not human.”

“A beast then?” Ye Mo asked as his eyes widened.

Some of the beasts that roamed around Tianwu Empire could change into human forms with high cultivation levels.

“To be precise, I’m a Spiritual Beast, the last bloodline of the Nine-tailed Fox,” Cai Ling explained. “I came out to the open world in search of our clan’s Inheritance Mansion. I followed the information in my mind’s Mortal Gate and found the mansion, which led me to successfully inherit the power.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” asked the puzzled Ye Mo.

“I used to be a Spirit Assimilate Realm warrior, the top level of the True Energy Realm,” Cai Ling said as her three cute fox tails appeared on her back. “But because of the inheritance, my power dropped, and I have to retrain myself on everything I used to know. If I’m able to grow all nine tails on my back, then no one on this whole continent could stop me.”

Three tails meant that Cai Ling was currently an Energy Shaping Realm warrior.

That also explained why the Beast Cuff could trap all of Cai Ling’s power.

Even if Ye Mo were to destroy the cuffs, Cai Ling could regain her Energy Shaping Realm powers.

“Then why are the Pleasure Valley and the Frozen Palace trying to catch you?” Ye Mo asked.

“Because I’m a Spiritual Beast, which is said to be the best in Sex Cultivation.” Cai Ling frowned as her anger rose. “Xiaoyao Langzi was only at the bottom of the True Energy Realm. With the help of Sex Cultivation, he could advance to the second level of the True Energy Realm, the Heaven’s Gate Realm. If he does achieve the breakthrough, he could be the strongest in this area.”

From the weakest to the strongest, the True Energy Realm could be divided into five different levels, the True Energy Realm, the Heaven’s Gate Realm, the Heaven’s Strength Realm, the Energy Burst Realm, and the Spirit Devour Realm.

Each level meant a huge jump in power.

Ye Mo finally understood why the Frozen Palace’s lord wanted to catch Cai Ling as well. He intended to stop Xiaoyao Langzi from advancing to the Heaven’s Gate Realm.

“The Pleasure Valley are a bunch of evil-doers. Most of the girls you saw in the Pleasure Society were abducted from other cities at a young age!” Cai Ling scolded. “I’m going to wipe them off this earth when my power returns! Even some of the girls from my city were captured by them too.”

Only females were allowed to reside in the Women City. People from the Pleasure Valley would abduct pretty girls from the Women City for Sex Cultivation purposes, especially virgins.

“We can’t wait until your power returns, we have to do it now,” Ye Mo said. “Since the Frozen Palace and the Pleasure Valley are enemies, we should get their help to take care of the Pleasure Valley once and for all.”

“But the Frozen Palace is considerably weaker than the Pleasure Valley,” Cai Ling said as she shook her head. “Even if you’re strong, you still can’t take a True Energy Realm warrior head-on. Yes, the Palace Lord and the Valley Lord are both True Energy Realm warriors, but the lack of Energy Shaping Realm warriors in the Frozen Palace is the real problem.”

Unless the Frozen Palace was certain that they would win the fight, they would never wage an all-out war with the Pleasure Valley.

“Now that the Pleasure Valley is after us, they will never let us go, especially if Xiaoyao Langzi noticed you are with me too,” Ye Mo argued. “The only thing we can do now is seek the help of the Frozen Palace.”

“Are you having regrets about saving me?” Cai Ling said without any expression. “If you’re that afraid of them, you could just leave me here and flee right away.”

“Do I look like a coward to you?” Ye Mo said. “I was hoping that you would be able to recover your True Energy Realm powers, but it doesn’t looks that’s going to happen. Let me take care of that cuff first.”

Evil Energy enveloped the Sky Blood Spear as Ye Mo swung it down. Sparks flew as the spear and cuff clashed, and the seemingly sturdy cuff broke in half.

With the damage, the cuff reverted to a piece of crappy metal. Cai Ling focused her energy, and the cuff broke into pieces.

As the cuff fell, Cai Ling’s cultivation began to rise steadily until it stopped at Energy Shaping Ninth Realm.

Even if the Nine-tailed Foxes were talentless, they could advance easily with the help of their clan’s inheritance. With enough time, all of the nine tails would grow on Cai Ling’s back, and she would definitely advance to the legendary Divine Realm.

It was an advantage that only the Spiritual Beasts had.

Their lifespans and talents were longer and better than any human tribe, but humans had higher potential than they did, or else the whole continent would be ruled by Spiritual Beasts instead of humans.

Cai Ling took off the black robe she was using to cover her body. Ye Mo stared at her perfect curves.

Ye Mo couldn’t help but think that Cai Ling’s body was better than Qi Yin’s. Cai Ling was a Spiritual Beast, and a Fox Spirit at that, so her body was seeping with the charms that only foxes had. Yet she was a woman with strong willpower as she survived when she was captured by the Pleasure Valley.

Qi Yin was different. She was raised in a huge clan. Even if she seemed normal on the outside, she could become very intimidating when she was angered. The wrath of the Imperial Concubine was not something a normal person would oppose.

“Your weapon is definitely powerful. What’s its name?” Cai Ling asked.

“This is the Sky Blood Spear,” Ye Mo answered. “It became a Low-grade Spiritual Weapon after absorbing the Cursed Energy. I can even feel a hint of its will now.”

Spiritual Weapons had their own will, which could absorb the Natural Energy and use it as their own power.

A Spiritual Weapon would take hundreds, even thousands of years to craft. A Smithing Master would have to sustain their body with pills every day to bestow the weapon they made with its own spirit will.

Ye Mo was about to stow the Sky Blood Spear into the Dimensional Bracelet, but no matter how hard he tried, the spear remained in his hand.

“Why can’t I keep it in the bracelet?” Ye Mo asked in awe.

“The Dimensional Bracelet can only keep non-living stuff,” Cai Ling explained. “Now that your weapon has become a Spiritual Weapon, you could say that it has become a living weapon now.”

“Doesn’t that mean I have to carry it on my back everywhere I go?” Ye Mo frowned.

“It’s actually a trend to do that in some of the big cities,” Cai Ling said. “If you have a Spiritual Weapon on your back, people will keep their distance away from you as it means that you’re not a force they should reckon with thoughtlessly. But it also means that it’ll become a target that people will want to steal.”

If others were to notice that the warrior carrying the Spiritual Weapon was weak, they would try to assault them as the reward was valuable.

“Looks like having a Spiritual Weapon also has its own problem,” Ye Mo sighed.

“But to tell you the truth, even I’m a little scared of the weapon you’re carrying,” Cai Ling said as she pointed to the ground. “Look. All the grass and trees around here are starting to wither from the Evil Energy it’s giving out. If I’m not mistaken, even beasts of the Energy Shaping Realm won’t dare go near it.”

The Sky Blood Spear was already a scary weapon even if it had just regained its Lower-grade Spiritual Weapon form. Ye Mo began to wonder what it was like when the Sky Blood Lady was wielding the fully awakened spear and how many lives had the spear had already take.

The Sky Blood Spear that slew gods and demons.
