Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Four – Omen
Looking at the little path that was leading into the Cloud Sea, Zuo Mo released a breath for some unknown reason. Truthfully, the suddenly appearance of the Xuan Kong Temple’s dhyana xiu gave him enormous pressure. Anything that could attract Xu Kong Temple’s dhyana xiu was not going to be anything normal. Zuo Mo wasn’t interested at all. He just didn’t want anything to happen as he tried to heal A Gui.
“There are so many divergent paths, you know all of them?” Zuo Mo asked Kang De in curiosity. There were hundred of these little paths that criss-crossed and confused the eyes.
“Daren don’t worry, this subordinate has been hunting here for over a decade and won’t walk wrong even with the my eyes closed,” Kang De said proudly. He then introduced, “These little paths might look complex, but if one goes through a few times, they can learn them. Starting from here, we will enter the true Cloud Sea. The cloud mist here is not thick, the deeper we go down, the thicker it becomes.”
Kang De led the group at the front.
They walked onto a curved little path and quickly disappeared in the Cloud Sea.

“Shishu, are those people suspicious?” Ming Jing asked probingly. Of the three young disciples, his mind was the nimblest and he noticed Shishu’s abnormalness.
Pu Yao was correct, these people were dhyana xiu from Xuan Kong Temple. The white-browed purple robed dhyana xiu was called Ding Zhen, and the disciples in blue robes were third-generation disciples. Ding Zhen had come out with these disciples for them to gain experience. Along the way, they had received a message from the sect leader and turned to Cloud Sea Jie.
Ding Zhen nodded, “That dhyana xiu is from an unknown sect, he actually possesses wish power, it really is rare.”
“Wish power?”
The three disciples stammered, their face filled with belief. The dhyana xiu that they had seen didn’t appear much older than them. He also did not look special.
Wish power was one of the rarest powers of all the dhyana xiu powers. The three of them were among the top ranks of the young disciples of Xuan Kong Temple and naturally knew what wish power meant.
The number of people Xuan Kong Temple, the greatest temple in the world, who possessed wish power could be counted on the fingers.
“There are always better people, the world outside is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.” Ding Zhen glanced at the trio. “Also, that sword xiu’s sword essence is so pure and condense that I have only seen such a thing before on a few Kun Lun disciples. If you encounter him, do not be careless.”
The other disciple reacted the quickest. “Shishu, could they be disciples from Kun Lun?”
“Not Kun Lun.” Ding Zhen shook his head, “The sword essence of Kun Lun does not feel like this.”
The expressions of the three disciples relaxed. It was good that it was not Kun Lun. Kun Lun had dominated the top position of the Four Realm Heaven for thousands of years. Even disciples of Xuan Kong Temple were not willing to encounter Kun Lung disciples. The four great sects fought openly and in the shadows, but there were rarely any direct conflicts. All of them were colossal beings. If fighting really started, it could not easily end.
As long as those were not disciples of the other three sects, they didn’t feel the need for any consideration. The enemies they were wary of and would treat equally were only disciples of the four great sects, people that were on the same level as themselves.
Seeing the unconcerned expression on the faces of the three disciples, Ding Zhen shook his head inside. But when he recalled how he had been similarly proud when he was young, he smiled and let it pass.
The disciples of Xuan Kong Temple had the right to be proud.

Along the way, Kang De chatted about all the strange tales and rumors of the Cloud Sea. His oratory skills were not good but he was very experienced and knew many details. Zuo Mo’s group listened attentively.
This trip took a day and night before the cloud mist started to become thick enough to obscure their vision. The pure white mist that seemed like cotton almost filled all of their vision. Little paths flickered in and out of the view in this cloud mist. If they were not careful and wandered off into the cloud mist, they would lose their direction. Then it would really be dangerous.
Zuo Mo curiously examined the cloud mist floating in the air. These cloud mist were in the air but they did not float everywhere. These little paths were very fine but there wasn’t any mist on the path.
Zuo Mo asked Kang De about this.
Kang De scratched his head. “Daren, this subordinate has never thought about this. This subordinate has been here for over a decade. Even though the cloud mists will change annually, but these little paths rarely change.”
“Would there be any dangers here?” Zuo Mo asked.
“There are rarely any dangers in this area. Xiuzhe frequently come through here so cloud beasts and other things have been cleaned out,” Kang De said.
As Kang De finished speaking, Zong Ru who was walking in the rear of the group, with his eyes closed, suddenly made a sound and stopped walking.
A cold light flashed through Zuo Mo and Wei Sheng’s eyes. They instantly stopped moving and held themselves warily.
Kang De was extremely confused.
“Something is nearing us,” Zong Ru said in a low voice.
Zong Ru’s Samadhi deepened and his sixth sense was extremely sensitive. Unless Zuo Mo expanded his consciousness, he was not a match for Zong Ru. However, Zuo Mo and Wei Sheng were powerful people. At almost the same moment Zong Ru spoke, they had also detected danger!
Wei Sheng held his black sword in his hand. Zuo Mo’s shen power turned into the three powers and was held in waiting.
Woosh woosh woosh!
Several white mist arrows suddenly shot out of the cloud mist with tearing sounds.
Zuo Mo’s movement were extremely rapid. His consciousness shifted and several [Ice Mirrors] were cast. Ever since he listened to Kang De speak about the unique qualities of the cloud bests hears, Zuo Mo felt that yao arts were more suited to the Cloud Sea.
[Ice Mirror] was a kind of little yao art. When Zuo Mo used it, it was so fast people could not catch it.
Bam bam bam!
The ice mirrors shattered and a cold energy spread in the air.
Several white shadows that charged out of the cloud mist instantly froze as their bodies entered the cold energy.
Inside the cold energy were three cloud beasts that were shaped like squirrels. Their body was frozen by the cold energy into ice, and they still maintained their charging position.
