Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Six – The Stage of Two Mountains

The previous withered palm seemed somewhat like metal now, with a barely perceptible layer of faint gold. Several golden lines were especially visible on his palm. Another mountain peak had appeared beside the mountain peak at the center of his palm.

“Two Mountains?” Pu Yao suddenly came out, slightly shocked as he looked at the two connected mountain peaks on Zuo Mo’s palm.

Zuo Mo was also very shocked. He had thought that he would form an abhinna this time, and had not expected that he would break through to two mountains.

“This is the stage of two mountains?” Zuo Mo asked with slight curiosity. He continuously opened and closed his hand, feeling the great strength passing from his palm.

Pu Yao looked at Zuo Mo like he was looking at a weirdo. He could not understand how Zuo Mo had reached two mountains so quickly. He had never thought that this was his “achievement.” It was due to him continuously drawing earth energy from Zuo Mo’s body, causing Zuo Mo’s body to have been tempered multiple times that Zuo Mo had been prepped ready.

Zuo Mo seemed to know the cause, but thinking that Pu Yao and the gravestone seemed to be at odds, he decided to muddle over it, changing the topic. “What is the benefit of the two mountain stage?”

His body which had become robust looking had become thin once again . However, each muscle in his body had become stronger and firmer, hard as metal. His strength had multiplied.

He gently stomped his feet. Poof, his right foot seemed to have stepped into tofu, sinking to his calf. He pulled out his foot, and saw the edges of the hole were very clean, like it was carved out using a mold.

“The mountain represent strength. The stage of two mountains represent that you can use two mountains of strength at maximum.” Pu Yao thought for a while and hadn’t managed to find an explanation so he threw the problem to one side. He was gradually adjusting to Zuo Mo occasionally surprising him.

“How strong is one mountain of power? Is it to be able to move a mountain? Is that possible?” Zuo Mo said unconcernedly.

Pu Yao’s face was one of disdain. “How is that strange? If a mo skill is at a significant level, moving mountains or flipping oceans is not anything. That Dong Fu Town of yours, wasn’t it a town built by a sword xiu lopping off a mountain peak with one blow?”

“That’s true, but I feel that I don’t have such great strength” Zuo Mo argued as he looked at the his palm.

“How long have you cultivated? You want to move mountains and flip oceans?” Pu Yao’s face was full of scorn. “When xiuzhe cultivate ling power, don’t they need to also coordinate with sword scriptures and spells? Mo are the same. Other than body cultivation, mo skills also teach you how to use the strength of the body.”

He paused and then said, “The thinking of mo is very strange. They feel that their body is the most primal source of all their strength, but also feel the body is a cage. You may have reached the stage of two mountains, but in reality, even if you familiarize yourself with mo skills, you cannot use all of your power. Even if your technique is there, your body would first be destroyed.”

“So it’s like that.” Zuo Mo instantly realized. Pu Yao’s words were very reasonable. Suddenly thinking of his goal for this time, he hurriedly asked, “Then have I formed my abhinna?”

“Check, is there a place that is abnormal?” Pu Yao helplessly reminded. It really was hard work to teach a newbie.

“Abnormal?” Zuo Mo hurriedly calmed him mind and took a inner look at his body. He quickly found the abnormality that Pu Yao was speaking off. This abnormality was at his eyes, and not any other place of his body.

His eyes looked into the surroundings. The thick earth energy seemed to have been attracted by an invisible strength, and tightly wrapped around his eyes.

This was … …

He didn’t dare to move rashly, using his consciousness to carefully examine the two balls of earth energy. What reassured him slightly was that his eyes did not feel any discomfort, but no matter how he worked, he could not affect the two balls of earth energy.

After trying many times, he helplessly came out of his inner perspective.

“Did you find it?” Pu Yao asked with curiosity.

“En, it’s the eyes,” Zuo Mo was slightly dejected, “I tried, but didn’t know how to use them, and don’t know what they are used for.”

“Eyes,” Pu Yao said, “your luck isn’t bad. There are many abhinna regarding the eyes, and those are somewhat useful. An abhinna cannot be taught, the abhinna that each person forms is different. You have to slowly experiment, and make your own conclusions. As to not able to use them, don’t worry. Many abhinna cannot be used when they first form. They need to slowly form, and stabilize before they can be used. Your abhinna may belong to this kind.”

Zuo Mo wasn’t depressed. He was very satisfied already with reaching two mountains.

Pu Yao said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry about the abhinna. It is not easy to find mo skills, but don’t you have a dhyana xiu under your command? You are able to use the fist scripture that he has. In terms of yao arts, [Embryonic Breathing Spiritual Cultivation] and the [Great and Little Thousand Leaf Hands] are enough for you. The worst you have right now is scriptures for ling power. [Embryonic Breathing Spiritual Cultivation] in the end is still for cultivating the spirit. We need to find you a scripture.”

Zuo Mo was shocked at his favor. When was Pu Yao ever so concerned with him?

Pu Yao sunk into thought as though Zuo Mo did not exist.

Seeing the situation, he perceptively went about his own business. However, he clearly noted down Pu Yao’s words.

———

Zong Ru could not be anything but puzzled when he heard the boss had called him. Truthfully, even if he was the only dhyana xiu in the group, he did not have many outstanding qualities. His strength could only be considered intermediate. The only aspect he was good in was probably defense. In this group of sword xiu who didn’t seem to know what defense even was, as a dhyana xiu, his defense was like the crane among the chicken flock.

His personality was very steady so even though he was shocked, he was still composed. When he saw Zuo Mo, he respectfully bowed. “Boss.”

Zuo Mo couldn’t help but praise him inside. In terms of mentality, sword xiucould not catch up to dhyana xiu. The dhyana xiu emphasized mental strength and their Samadhi.[i]Things like illusory formations were less effective against them.

Zuo Mo didn’t mince words, straightforwardly saying, “I want your [Sky Wave Fist Scripture], give me a price.”

Zong Ru shook his head. “[Sky Wave Fist Scripture] isn’t a profound scripture. If Boss wants it, please go ahead.”
