Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Eight – Void Pass (2/2)

Other than that, it was also useful for forging and dan-making.

Just as Zuo Mo hurried to keep reading, he suddenly stopped, the chapter half was finished!

It was like an itch that being scratched in that sweet spot and then the other suddenly stopped. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Damn it! Why did it stop there!

Zuo Mo, who had been waiting to see Pu Yao frustrated, deeply felt what frustration was!

No, he needed to control himself, he couldn’t let Pu Yao win!

Zuo Mo reluctantly took away his eyes, closing them to rest for a while. He slowly calmed down. Zuo Mo’s mind became clear as he calmed. This was what Pu Yao always did. If he really made the transaction, then there probably were countless traps waiting for him ahead.

Calm, calm … …

He said it repeatedly to himself inside, furiously telling himself to not fall for Pu Yao’s trick. This kind of self brainwashing finally had some effect. He decided to learn the first move of [Little Thousand Leaf Hands] before he decided.

Hearing this, Pu Yao refreshingly nodded,”Okay, I’ll teach you the first move.”

“[Little Thousand Leaf Hands] has thirty-six moves in total. The first move is one of the two most shallow and fundamental moves. Many of the other moves will be connected somewhat with these two moves. You have to be familiar with this one.”

Seeing Pu Yao act as though he was going to personally teach it, Zuo Mo’s mind became alert.

Pu Yao always boasted to the sky, but Zuo Mo had never seen him personally move. He instantly became excited now that the other was going to demonstrate his abilities.

“[Great Thousand Leaf Hands] and [Little Thousand Leaf Hands] were created by an ancient Sky Yao, the aim was to go against nature,” Pu Yao’s voice was full of respect, “When a yao is born, the achievements it can accomplish are mostly set. A yao seed is formed naturally and is the source of a yao’s power. This Sky Yao was born as the most normal of the little yao and became a Sky Yao in the end. You don’t really understand the yao. What the yao do is flow along with their natural order. It was only when that Sky Yao appeared that people discovered it was possible to go against this natural order. From then on, yao cultivation was split into with nature and against nature. You are learning that elder’s moves today, do not mar that Sky Yao Elder’s name.”

Pu Yao’s voice was stern and serious. Zuo Mo gaped inside and was full of anticipation. From Pu Yao’s explanation, it seemed that these two sets of methods had a great history!

“Watch carefully.”

As Pu Yao stopped talking, he raised his right hand. His right hand was long and snowy white, perfect in form, the bright red nails slightly curved and as sharp as a knife.

He pointed with his index finger, the long crimson fingernail lightly sketching in the air.

The movements were ethereal and gentle, flowing and pleasurable to the eye.

The places that the blade like fingernail passed, a streak of blood curved and squiggled. In a blink, a profound bloody character took form in the air.

Zuo Mo’s pupils suddenly shrunk!

He suddenly found that, starting from when Pu Yao’s finger had started to draw. Zuo Mo’sown consciousness had gone slightly out of control, as though Pu Yao’s finger held a strange magnetism. He jumped in fright, and hurriedly controlled his mind!

Even though he was trying to control his consciousness, the majority of his attention was used to watch Pu Yao.

Pu Yao’s spiritual power flooded the bloody character. The character seal suddenly became full and glistening as though it was alive.

Zuo Mo felt as though he was suddenly jerked into an extremely strange world.

There was no noise, no change. It was like time had completely stopped. Zuo Mo felt that that his heartbeat had stopped, his blood stopped flowing, his muscles and hair stopped moving!

An unknown amount of time later, this strange state flew away as though it was a dream.

Zuo Mo finally felt shock. In a daze, he heard Pu Yao’s slow and deep voice.

“The first move is called [Void Pass]. It does not halt time, it just maintains the laws that everything originally has, but at the same moment, it refuses all new laws, so you feel as though time has stopped. The two concepts are completely different. It only refuses change. The stronger your spirit is, the greater your control over your consciousness will be, and the larger the area you can control. However, if it is a strong change in the laws, you may not be able to stop it and the technique would break.”

“Do not try to use it on other xiuzhe, unless the difference in cultivation is very great.”

“Then what’s the use?” Zuo Mo heard himself ask instinctively.

“Hue hue, you can use it on talismans. The ling power on talismans usually is constantly flowing. The effect of interfering with that is very outstanding.”

———

Zuo Mo had received such a great blow that he seemed to have lost his soul in the following days. Pu Yao did not hurry him, looking very confident.

The fifth day, he finally thought it through and came to the sea of consciousness.

Like normal, Pu Yao sat on the gravestone. His back to Zuo Mo, he still knew that Zuo Mo had come, a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

Zuo Mo’s eyes were clear. Just as he prepared to speak, he saw the gravestone under Pu Yao out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly stopped.

Translator Ramblings: Like any normal person Zuo Mo has the reasoning life > jingshi.

Back to the issue of time. Max lifespan of normal dacheng xiuzhe is 1000 years. Yaomo live longer in general. However, no one is really “immortal,” so these great people Pu Yao mentioned have all died a long time ago.

Pu Yao also is a wonderful negotiator in this chapter. If you search up negotiation tactics on google, you’ll see what I mean.
