World of Cultivation - Chapter 752
Chapter 752
Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty Two – The Little Ones
Mo Cloud Sea started to secretly move .
This kind of movement was concealed from the outside world . Even in these years of peace, people had become used to the movements of battalions and the unusual focus on cultivation .
Silently, several battalions appeared at Black Wood Jie which was under the control of Rare Artifacts Hall .
Ever since Rare Artifacts Hall threw their lot in with Zuo Mo, they attracted the enmity of other mo factions . Out of consideration for safety, Mo Cloud Sea built large numbers of seal formation forts at their borders .
But Rare Artifacts Hall was founded in business, and the transportation of their inventory was not affected greatly . The events of Bu Zhou City had caused them to become famous . After that, with the support of Mo Cloud Sea, the quality of their wares increased greatly and their wares were welcomed on the market .
Even the Mo Marshal Alliance bought large amounts of mo weapons and supplies from Rare Artifacts Hall . Benefiting from this, their business avenues had always been smooth . Other than this, they continued to build blood pools to make the travel between the three jies of Rare Artifacts Hall and the other factions even more convenient .
Transporting through blood pools was expensive, especially with large volumes, but it could greatly shorten the time spent and was much safer . Adding on that Rare Artifacts Hall was wealthy, they did not care about the expense of building blood pools . In one go, they built dozens of blood pools connecting them to the outside world . This meant that the Mo Marshal Alliance was unable to cut off Rare Artifacts Hall from the outside, even if they wanted to .
Yi An, naturally, had to be present for such a great event, as the arrival of their battalions .
But when he saw Bie Han was in the lead, he was still shocked . He immediately understood the importance that the higher-ups placed on this battle campaign . Among Mo Cloud Sea’s battle generals, Gongsun Cha and Bie Han were of the same in status . While Bie Han never managed any matters, his status was not something that other people could shake .
Bie Han was personally here, it definitely would not be a small fight .
“Daren!” Yi An immediately went forward to give a greeting . He was a core member but he could not compare in status to Bie Han .
On the newest battle general ranking from the xiuzhe world, Bie Han was ranked tenth, an undoubted top battle general of the xiuzhe world .
The descriptions on the battle general ranking were detailed . The evaluators thought that Bie Han’s fighting abilities were astounding, his battle style dominant and fiery . He was strong offensively . The reason that he was ranked tenth was that his shortcomings in other areas were clear . For example, his soft skills were lacking and he did not take care or maintain relationships with his allies, or his reclusive personality .
In the conclusion, Bie Han was said to be a battle general with clear skills and shortcomings . He was strong offensively and weak defensively, and also, he was a battle general that needed strong support from the rear .
This was also the reason that many people thought that Gongsun Cha was better than Bie Han . Gongsun Cha’s overall strength was more outstanding . He wasn’t just strong at command, he was outstanding both offensively and defensively as well as having taught a group of talented battle generals . There was no argument about his position on the battle general ranking . Almost all of the people in the battle general circles found it reasonable .
But when the battle general ranking came out, the fact that Mo Cloud Sea possessed two top battle generals still caused a furor . However, when more of the details about Gongsun Cha and Bie Han’s battles were made public, the voices of dissent gradually dissipated . On the newest battle general ranking, Zhong De from Xi Xuan who had come back out of nowhere had directly stepped into second place, just under Kun Lun’s Xue Dong . The rankings which had not changed for a few years finally changed for the first time .
But even so, Bie Han still held on to the position of tenth .
Along with Bie Han’s Sin Battalion came:, Shi Dong and Ye Ling’s Grey Camp, Ma Fan and his Green Dragon Camp, A Zha Ge Battalion, and Tangzi Battalion .
Shi Dong and Ye Ling had been partnered together for a long time and worked well together . Shi Dong who had once had a difficult time progressing in cultivation due to his birth had been selected by Gongsun Cha to the first group of battle generals to cultivate shen power . He had treasured this chance . The strength and diligence he had shown won admiration from all the people around him . He had also improved rapidly and shockingly had moved into the ranks of gold battle generals .
And a battle general like Ye Ling who was skilled in understanding the larger picture was a person that all the camps wanted .
There was nothing to be said of the trio of Ma Fan, Lei Peng, and Nian Lu . They were also people that Gongsun Cha had paid great attention to grooming . The three that had come from Vermillion Bird Camp did not fail Gongsun Cha’s efforts . Ma Fan was skilled in directing battle and successively advanced to become a gold battle general . Lei Peng was strong, and was the one that lead troops from the front . Nian Lu was detail-oriented, and full of cunning . The three of them worked well together . Every time they fought in mock combat, they caused other people headaches .
A Zha Ge had been a gold battle general to start with, and he was experienced in leading troops . As his clan set down roots in Mo Cloud Sea, and their lives continued to change, he could finally throw himself completely into matters of war . The style that A Zha Ge showed was frequently praised by Lil’ Miss .
The main commander of Tangzi Battalion was Tang Fei with Miao Jun as the vice commander . Tang Fei was talented and Miao Jun taught her all he knew . Adding on Gongsun Cha’s occasional guidance, she grew up extremely quickly as she fought against other battle generals to become a gold battle general herself . While she was female, her fighting style was strong and tenacious . Influenced by her the battle style of Tangzi Battalion was also very steadfast, and they never feared going toe-to-toe with the enemy .
After the nurturing and training of these years, all of the battalions with names in Mo Cloud Sea had good strength .
Bie Han was not skilled in being the commander-in-chief but his insight into strategy and his perception when fighting was unrivalled by all in Mo Cloud Sea, except by Gongsun Cha . He had thought deeply about the battalions he had picked to come with him this time .
Grey Camp, A Zha Ge Battalion, and Tangzi Battalion were all battalions who had originated from the mo territories . This was advantageous for their optics if they had them to attack the mo territories .
Green Dragon Camp was skilled in defense . They were selected in preparation for after taking down Hundred Energy Jie and having to turn to defense .
Such a large number of battalions entering Black Wood Jie could not be disguised from people . All kinds of news quickly spread . Many factions were like alarmed birds . They shut their blood pools that were connected with Black Wood Jie . Rare Artifact Hall’s business was greatly affected .
All the major factions of the mo territories went on their guard .
Yet what they hadn’t expected was that Bie Han was faster than they had imagined .
Before the news even reached the Mo Marshal Alliance, Bie Han’s group of battalions had already stepped onto the border of the Mo Marshal Alliance .
———
The heavy iron door was pushed open a crack . Lil’ Pagoda leaned against the door and panted heavily . It was clearly exhausted . Lil’ Fire flew around its head as though it was trying to motivate the other . Lil’ Black stood up on its hind legs, its antenna waving furiously as it tried to cheer on Lil’ Pagod . However, Lil’ Black clearly was staying back . As it waved its antennae, it turned around to look . If something happened, it would immediately flee .
Lil’ Pagoda rested for a moment and recovered . It climbed up and sneakily looked inside . Seeing that no one was inside, it immediately became happy, its eaves opening and closing like an umbrella . Then it sucked in its belly and tried to squeeze through the crack .
Lil’ Pagoda’s body was even rounder than before . Its body which had been five colored before was now black and white . Adding on its round and soft body, it appeared very much like a panda crouching there .
This change had occurred the first time that Zuo Mo’s shen power had made a great advancement .
Yet Zuo Mo found to his chagrin that this guy became even fatter and more gluttonous after that . The things it liked to eat were far beyond the scope of the five elements . It ate everything and liked things that were rare and strange .
Zuo Mo found, after inspection, that Lil’ Pagoda’s attributes had shifted from the five elements to the dual attribute of yin and yang . The scope covered by yinyang was much greater than the five elements . This was an unique progression .
Pew!
Lil’ Pagoda was like a rubber ball that squeezed through the crack in the door . The moment it did so, its soft and bouncy body bounced through the air . It flipped over a few times in the air before it managed to steady itself .
Lil’ Fire happily flew a few circles in celebration before it followed . It turned into a thread of flame and then turned back to its round figure after burrowing through the crack .
Lil’ Black also sneaked in .
The three Lil’ Ones formed a triangle as they tiptoed like thieves .
Suddenly, the light of a jinzhi appeared under the feet of the trio .
The three little bodies immediately froze .
A figure walked out of the jinzhi’s light . It was Zuo Mo .
“I finally caught you in the act!” Zuo Mo had a vicious expression . These three little guys liked to eat the most and would never learn! Thinking about the jingshi he had lost, Zuo Mo felt great pain .
“Arrrrow!” Lil’ Pagoda raised its chubby eaves to cover its face .
Lil’ Fire shook . It turned and wanted to feel but was caught by Zuo Mo . Then Zuo Mo started to squeeze it . It could only spit out threads of fire in humiliation and grievous anger according to Zuo Mo’s rhythm .
With one hand gripping Lil’ Fire, a snarling Zuo Mo was like a demon king in the eyes of Lil’ Black .
Its antennae trembled . Pia, it fell back on the ground and pretended to be dead .
Having caught the three little ones at the scene of the act, Zuo Mo was smug . He took the three little ones over to Chun Yu Cheng’s place .
“Chun Shidi, here, help me take a look and see if there are any ways to help them get stronger . ”
Chun Yu Cheng’s eyes were bright and he was interested by the idea . The three little ones all had different abilities and were much more interesting than his cloud steeds .
Under Chun Yu Cheng’s strange gaze, the three little ones had ashen expressions . The least courageous one, Lil’ Black trembled as though it was about to face torture .
“Let’s go in and see,” Chun Yu Chen said briskly .
Chun Yu Cheng’s place to study husbandry was astounding in scale now . He took over a large sized cloud island . Other than him, there were also his assistants that were also interested in husbandry . Some of them were xiuzhe and some were yaomo .
They quickly came to a twin pool .
The two pools were set up together and connected in the middle . The liquid in one pool was white and the other black . Mist floated off the white pool and turned into a cloud that supported a little white person . It was Sunshine . There was a black lotus growing out of the black pool . On the inky black lotus . Tenth Grade dressed in black robes was sitting with his legs in lotus position, his little face solemn .
They went deeper and flew to the entrance of a volcano .
Inside the volcano, a large bird was completely immersed in the lava within . Silly Bird seemed to detect people coming in and opened her eyelids . Seeing Zuo Mo, she closed her eyes with a safe and relaxed expression .
Silly Bird!
“She was originally a Grey Beak Goose and then evolved into a Blue Beaked Snow Goose . Theoretically, the probability of her evolution is not high but I found there is an unique power inside her . This power had been continuously strengthening her body . She is already completely different from normal Blue Beak Snow Geese . She is fierce, and much more savage in personality than before . This allowed her to have more room to improve .
When speaking of his field, Chun Yu Cheng immediately became energized and would endlessly talk .
“The quality of the earth fire here isn’t bad, but it wasn’t enough . I asked the people from Golden Crow Camp to come and remake the fire formation . The earth fire here is over eighth grade and contains shen power . If it could finish its nirvana regeneration, uh, while that is only for phoenixes, but I don’t feel that only phoenixes can regenerate, you know that all birds … …”
Seeing Chun Yu Cheng wasn’t going to stop, Zuo Mo’s head swelled . He handed the three little ones to Shidi . “Here, they are in your care . ”
“No problem!” Chun Yu Chen’s eyes lit up .
Translator Ramblings: We see the little ones, finally . Just as gluttonous as always .
