Chapter One Hundred and Eighty – [Great Thousand Leaf Hands] (1/2)

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty – [Great Thousand Leaf Hands]

What Zuo Mo cultivated first was the [Great Thousand Leaf Hands].

The second half of the first chapter of [Great Thousand Leaf Hands] explained how to form the great thousand leaf hands. This Sky Yao was an amazing genius. He used the process of a plant growing to complete his spell.

The first step of [Great Thousand Leaf Hands] was to gather up the spirit that was scattered. This was not a problem to Zuo Mo, he easily accomplished it.

Next was to forge the gathered consciousness into “seeds.” This step was crucial. If one could not form “seeds,” they could not practice [Great Thousand Leaf Hands].

The steps to forge “seeds” seemed to be very complicated, but when Zuo Mo finished reading, a strange feeling arose.

This was the “dan nurturing” water method!

The Moisture Dan hadn’t brought much jingshi to Zuo Mo, but he had studied the water method. The wondrous process of the dan forming had left a deep impression on him, so when he saw the process of the “seed” forming, he instantly found similarities.

He didn’t know if this Sky Yao knew of the water method, but to have created such an amazing set of spells and to use a dan-making method with spiritual power, he was in awe of the elder.

Thinking about it, he twisted his mouth.

Pu Yao said he was a Sky Yao, but they were both Sky Yao so why was the difference so great? Pu Yao had taken out many kinds of spells, but he had never heard the other say that he had created any of them. Even more importantly, Zuo Mo didn’t think Pu Yao behaved like a Sky Yao. He was very suspicious that Pu Yao’s Sky Yao identity was just him boasting.

Knowing the water method, Zuo Mo didn’t have much trouble in forging the “seed.”

A few hours later, a “seed” had been formed.

This “seed” that Zuo Mo had gathered all his consciousness into was the size of a soybean, expanding and contracting as though it was breathing.

The most difficult part did not stop Zuo Mo. As long as he persisted in practicing this set of spells daily, after ten days, this “seed” would germinate.

However, since all of his consciousness had been used to create this seed, it was like his consciousness had disappeared. This caused Zuo Mo, who had relied on using his consciousness constantly, to feel extremely awkward.

Without his consciousness, Zuo Mo could not make dan, could not forge, but what made him jump in fright was that he could not use the [Skyring Moon Chime Formation].

Damn it!

He had made such a fatal mistake. It seemed that he had been too proud these past days.

Please, no one come in these next ten days.

To not cause terror in other disciples, he acted normally on the surface.

Gongsun Cha delivered a pile of materials to him, all of it taken from the body of the Blue Spiked Crocodile that Zuo Mo had killed. What was most attention-catching among the items was the hide of the Blue Spiked Crocodile and the seven blue spikes. The hide was pristine. It was rare to see such a perfect Blue Spiked Crocodile skin. The hide of a Blue Spiked Crocodile was outstanding material to make ling armor and the price on the market was very high.

What Zuo Mo liked the most was the seven blue spikes.

The seven blue spikes were rare water element materials, and they came from the same Blue Spiked Crocodile, which made them very appropriate to forge into a flying sword.

Zuo Mo’s set of five sword essence swords needed five flying sword with completely different attributes. It would take luck to gather all five.

He decided to forge the seven blue spikes into a set of flying swords suitable for him to use now.

But when he thought that his consciousness was completely used in creating the “seed,” Zuo Mo could only grimace.

———

Ten days later.

Zuo Mo focused all his attention on growing the “seed” using the chant from the [Great Thousand Leaf Hands]. After ten days of continuous change, the “seed” was now the size of a goose egg, its outer shell a glowing porcelain. It was possible to see a curled sprout inside.

Suddenly, Zuo Mo detected the consciousness inside the egg moving. The outer layer of the “seed” broke. The outer layer was composed of consciousness and naturally would not have made a sound, but to Zuo Mo it was like thunder.

His body seemed to be struck by lightning as it vibrated.

A tender sprout with a single leaf reached out of the broken shell.

The leaf of the tender sprout was extremely small. It appeared like the palm of a person, with all five fingers.

Everything in the surroundings flooded in clearly. This feeling of everything being in his grasp instantly made Zuo Mo feel secure.

Consciousness!

Without him detecting it, Zuo Mo found, to his shock, that his reliance on his consciousness had reached such a shocking step. The consciousness seemed much weaker than before, but as long as he had his consciousness, he could activate the [Skyring Moon Chime Formation] and he could guarantee his safety to some degree.

Finally calming down, Zuo Mo started to study his completely transformed consciousness.

His spiritual power had all turned into this little tender sprout. The little hand that was as round and tender as an infant’s was the only leaf on the sprout, but it was of great joy to Zuo Mo.

His mind moved and the leaf rippled, the five leaf fingers shaking. Quickly, Zuo Mo discovered the trick to manipulating the leaf fingers. The five fingers on the leaf became even more nimble. Zuo Mo was even able to control the five fingers on the leaf hand to do the finger motions of all kinds of spells. There was no sound when the leaf hand made the motions, the spiritual power and the ling power was completely different.
