Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety One – Rock Wall

Zuo Mo examined the rock wall from top to bottom and occasionally rubbed his palm back and forth on it.

In reality, he was muttering in low voices with the two old geezers, Pu Yao and Wei.

“Do you recognize this? This thing definitely is not natural!” Zuo Mo was like a curious baby. “Whoa, it really is hard!”

This rock wall was dark grey-green and did not look any different than normal soil but no matter if it was a flying sword or a mo weapon, they could not leave a mark behind.

“It seems as though someone has reinforced it with shen power,” Wei hesitated and then said.

Pu Yao’s enchanting voice sounded. He was slightly shocked. “Yes, it is shen power.”

“Shen power?” Zuo Mo was slightly disappointed as he muttered, “I had assumed this was a treasure. Such a big treasure, it would be very valuable! So it is just reinforced with some shen power … …”

He then asked curiously, “What is shen power? That it’s this powerful!”

“The so-called shen power is the power that ancient warriors used. Do you remember the strange corpse from the Sealed Extinction Battlefield, what he used was shen power. Shen power is different when compared to any present power, and is enormously powerful,” Wei explained patiently.

“If your power can go up another level, you may produce shen power,” Pu Yao suddenly said.

“I? Produce shen power?” Zuo Mo first still and then reacted. “So this shen power is the three powers merged together?”

“Three powers merged together is not shen power. But ling power, spiritual consciousness, and the mo physique are all powers that were derived from shen power. No one actually knows what the ancient shen power is really like. I had thought to be able to see it from the strange corpse, but his power was traceless and I could not see it.”

Seeing that Pu Yao showed no intentions of speaking, Wei knew that the duty of explaining fell on his shoulders so he could only continue speaking.

“So it is like this.” Zuo Mo seemed to only partially understand. He suddenly paled. “Is there also someone as powerful as the strange corpse behind the rock wall?”

Pu Yao really could not stop himself and said scornfully, “Do you think old monsters like the strange corpse are like common as lettuce on sale at the market? That another one will just easily jump out? The ancient tribes have fallen for an unknown number of years, they are extinct. Just one of them being able to survive until now is great luck!”

“Then why is there shen power here?” Zuo Mo pointed at the wall and asked with innocence.

Pu Yao snorted coldly and said, “Hmph, there are many things that can contain shen power. Ancient shen treasures, ruins that are relatively well-conserved, they can all preserve shen power!”

“Ruins?” Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. “Would it be the Sun Shen Temple behind this rock wall?”

The news of the Sun Shen Temple had spread out long ago. Also, that enormous golden pillar of light was very close to Turtle Island and they could see it without even raising their heads.

A pillar of light with a radius of one hundred and fifty li was like a colossus that emanated extreme pressure. The light pillar did not extinguish during the day or night. Turtle Island was greatly affected and even their nights were as bright as day.

Even though Zuo Mo had resolved long ago not to enter the fight over benefits, but this strange rock wall made him uncontrollably think of the Sun Shen Temple ruins.

Wei said deeply, “This might be a possibility.”

Zuo Mo’s mind became alert. Even though he did not plan on joining the fight, he would not refuse treasure if it was delivered to his door. Also, if the ruins were truly behind the rock wall, that meant that Turtle Island was connected to the ruins. They could secretly enter.

The more Zuo Mo thought, the hotter his blood burned.

Pu Yao said with a cold smirk, “Even if the ruins are behind this wall, you cannot enter. This rock wall is filled with shen power, and is much harder than normal talismans. If you cannot break through the rock wall, how can you enter the ruins?”

Zuo Mo’s heart was instantly cooled. After being silent for a moment, he said reluctantly, “Is there no solution at all?”

“There are methods,” Wei said gravely.

Like grabbing the last stalk of life-saving grass, Zuo Mo suddenly became alert and said, “What method? Quick, speak!”

Wei looked at him. “You have three powers merged as one, if you progress one more step, you may actually comprehend shen power. If you can comprehend shen power, this rock wall will be an easy matter for you.”

“Comprehend shen power? How to comprehend? Quick, tell me!” Zuo Mo stared with begging eyes at Wei.

Pu Yao barked a laugh and said disdainfully, “Ha! Comprehend shen power?”

Wei said with slight helplessness, “This is only a theoretical possibility. Shen power is extremely repels us. I do not know what shen power really is like. If it wasn’t that all three powers were derived from shen power, there wouldn’t even be a theoretical possibility. As for comprehending shen power, you need to rely on yourself to explore.”

“Don’t waste your efforts. Use the energy to cultivate,” Pu Yao said ambiguously from the side. His body suddenly disappeared as he threw down, “So boring, you guys play on your own.”

Seeing the situation, Wei could only shrug and spread his hands in helplessness. “I only know this much.”

Zuo Mo came out of the empty sea of consciousness. Rubbing the mirror-smooth rock wall, his thoughts drifted.

Shen power … … it sounded so unreliable … …

But if he succeeded?

Countless rare talismans, countless jingshi and other treasures floated past Zuo Mo’s eyes! Ruins! This was the ruins of a shen temple! An ancient shen temple, how could it not have some talismans?

Thinking about how he didn’t have many acceptable talismans, Zuo Mo instantly felt restless.

Damn it!

He’ll do it!

The worst case was just wasting a few days’ worth of time!

Gritting his teeth, Zuo Mo decided to try. In any case, this was a business without any cost, and he couldn’t lose anything! If the ruins opened and he had not succeeded, he would seal this place and set down a formation to prevent people from entering the island through this way.

Shu Long and the others stared at each other. The found that Daren’s hands were rubbing here and there on the rock wall with a flushed face.

He look very strange and slightly … …

Perverted!

Everyone shook in unison and the words flashed across their minds

—so scary!
