Chapter 656 - Cultivating the Shifting Phantom
Chapter 656: Cultivating the Shifting Phantom
After the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber threw the martial technique to Ye Mo, she didn’t assign him any further tasks. Instead, she said that she had to cultivate in isolation and that Ye Mo would have to take care of himself for a while.
Ye Mo thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber had in fact long wanted to give him the Bodhi Fruit and the Shifting Phantom.
But it wasn’t the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s style to just give them to Ye Mo.
The Shape-shifting Phantom was a mid-grade martial technique. A martial technique at such a level was rare even in the Lingwu Continent.
Ye Mo began to read the martial technique. The so-called Shape-shifting Phantom, that was body shifting, could only let others see a trace of a ghost. When it was displayed, speed would soar.
The martial technique book was divided into three stages. The first stage was Phantom Body, the second was Phantom Movement, and the third was Phantom Shadow. Speed would obviously get faster with each one.
Moreover, the speed mentioned here wasn’t only the speed of the feet, but the reaction speed of the hands could also be improved.
Cultivating that martial technique required cultivating under a waterfall for the first stage. While crossing the waterfall, the body wouldn’t touch a drop of water, achieving the Phantom Body.
Ye Mo frowned while reading the description in the book. Was it possible to walk through the waterfall without getting a drop of water on the body?
“The description of this martial technique is too ridiculous isn’t it?” Ye Mo muttered. “No matter how fast you are, it’s impossible to cross a waterfall without getting a drop of water on your body.”
“Brother Ye Mo, you’re wrong,” Ling’er said faintly. “If you’re extremely fast, your body can be turned into a sharp blade. When you sprint and run, you can cut through the waterfall. Although it’s only for a moment, you can cross the waterfall without getting a drop of water on your body.”
“Once, the Sky Blood Lady was able to cut the sea in half without getting the faintest drop of water on her body when she sprinted,” Hong Ling added.
“The book says that if I can cross the sea without a drop of water on my body, I’ll have reached the second stage, the Phantom Movement. As for Phantom Shadow, it is too terrifying isn’t it?”
When Ye Mo saw the introduction in the book, he was shocked, “When sprinting, you turn into a Phantom Shadow, and you can kill while invisible.”
How fast would it have to be to be able to use the speed of the sprint to produce a powerful aura, turning the body into a sharp blade and cutting through your opponent?
That speed would have to be terrifying when you thought about it. The martial technique of Shifting Phantom was indeed very powerful.
Ye Mo believed that, when this technique was properly learned, by just learning the first stage, it would be no problem to stay alive in the Zone of Desolation, let alone the second or third. As long as his opponent wasn’t an expert in the Profound Heavens Realm.
Swoosh!
Ye Mo went and found a waterfall. The waterfall was thousands of meters high. An average martial artist in the Spirit Devour Realm would be killed just by standing underneath it.
The waterfall spattered down, and the water splashed hundreds of feet high. It was possible to see the impact of the current.
Ye Mo was there to cultivate Phantom Body, the first stage of the Shifting Phantom.
What Ye Mo wanted to do was perform the mental technique of the Shifting Phantom and sprint to the middle of the waterfall at his own speed.
Of course, it wasn’t that simple to cross the waterfall without touching a drop of water, unless Ye Mo could use the mental technique of the first stage martial technique perfectly.
The embodiment of this speed was not only being fast, but also being flexible and responsive.
From that moment on, Ye Mo’s cultivation became more regular. When he had time, he went to listen to the lectures of Elder Tao Tie. In the afternoon, he went to cultivate the Shifting Phantom. In the evening, Ye Mo began to refine seals.
The seals Ye Mo refined were very strong, and their effects were also good. Therefore, hi reputation also spread from one to 10 people, then 10 to 100 people. A steady stream of Saints sent Transcendence Ninth Realm Heart-stones to make an appointment for refining seals.
Even powerhouses from the Zone of Desolation came to make an appointment for his seals.
And Ye Mo didn’t refuse anyone. Ye Mo wouldn’t miss the opportunity to refine his heart.
“Go!”
Looking at the waterfall, Ye Mo, who was already drenched, once again exploded forward. His body turned into a dark shadow, which instantly disappeared. He appeared on the other side of the waterfall.
“Ling’er, how’s it going?” Ye Mo asked curiously.
“Not good,” Ling’er said. “After ten days of cultivating the Shifting Phantom, your speed has improved, but you’re still getting water on yourself. But you’ve already improved a lot. Go again.”
Ling’er’s soul was so powerful that she could feel the instant Ye Mo crossed the waterfall.
“Okay. Let’s continue!”
Ye Mo sprinted again.
“Not good. Again!”
“You have to think of yourself as a sharp blade so that you can cut the water when you reach the waterfall,” Ling’er reminded Ye Mo.
After a series of attempts, Ye Mo fell to the ground tired.
“Do it again!”
Ye Mo got up and roared, and gradually focused his eyes. Then, he disappeared. If someone stood in front of the waterfall, then it would be possible to see that the thousand-foot-long waterfall was cut in two for just an instant.
Some warriors could use weapons to cut the waterfall in two, but Ye Mo had used his extremely fast speed to cut the waterfall in two with his own body, which was inconceivable.
“Success!”
There was no need to ask Ling’er. Ye Mo knew that he had successfully cultivated the first stage of the Shifting Phantom and had achieved body transformation.
“This is wonderful,” Ling’er said. “If your master found out that it took you less than half a month to successfully cultivate the first stage Phantom Body, I think she’d be shocked again.”
Sitting on top of a boulder on one side, Ling’er threw a stone into the river.
“Now that I’ve successfully cultivated the first stage of the Shifting Phantom, my speed has increased again. Anyone in the Transcendence Ninth Realm is nothing in my eyes.”
Ye Mo was confident in his strength.
“Go back!”
With the success of cultivating the first stage of the Shifting Phantom, Ye Mo didn’t go on to cultivate the second stage. Cultivating the second stage required him to be in the Profound World Realm.
“Brother Ye Mo, why are you cultivating here?” Qiao Yizhou came running up in a hurry. “Something big’s happened. Meng Huo smashed your sign.”
“What did you say?” Ye Mo asked as Ling’er hid inside the Xu Mi Realm. “My sign was smashed?”
“He envies your booming business and he only has about a dozen seals appointments every day,” Qiao Yizhou said loudly. “The guy’s heart is unbalanced. He rushed to your Estate and smashed the sign you put up for seal appointments.”
“That Meng Huo is just looking for death,” Ye Mo said angrily. “He dares to smash my sign.”
Ye Mo turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.
“Huh?” Qiao Yizhou stood there, stunned. He came back to his senses after a while. “Where is Brother Ye Mo? How come he disappeared?”
