The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Change of the Jade Slip_1

While Cao Shanyue was busy writing the [Transforming Dragon Curse], Shen Mo’s attention fell on Cao Ren again.

Even though he was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, he wasn’t obedient at all. First, he endlessly spat out curse words, threatening and cursing Shen Mo to untie him. Seeing that Shen Mo paid no attention, he switched his approach and began to beg pitifully.

His mind has been twisted to such an extent! A hint of grimness appeared in Shen Mo’s eyes.

Under his Bright Vision, he quickly discovered an anomaly at Cao Ren’s heart. Pushing aside his upper garment, he saw a patch of strange scales similar to a snake or a dragon growing there.

Obviously, this was a sign of the Dragon Transformation starting after profoundly cultivating the [Transforming Dragon Curse].

Subsequently, Shen Mo used his Soul Curse; his soul power entered Cao Ren’s Mind Sea in a peculiar manner.

After several breaths, Shen Mo sighed, withdrawing his Divine Sense.

Cao Ren’s soul has also begun to undergo a transformation, from human form to the form of a Dragon Spirit... With my abilities, I can’t halt this trend. Unless I erase all his soul memories associated with cultivating the [Transforming Dragon Curse], so that he can no longer cultivate it.

However, Cao Ren had been cultivating this Spell for a long time. If Shen Mo were to do this, it would be no different than directly severing part of his soul. It would be a miracle if he didn’t end up as an imbecile, and future cultivation would be even harder!

”Nephew, this is the pithy mantra for that strange Curse,” Cao Shanyue said, having copied the [Transforming Dragon Curse] and handed it to Shen Mo.

As he had said before, the Curse really consisted of only nine sentences, totaling a little more than a hundred words, making it easy to cultivate. Shen Mo memorized it after only glancing at it once.

Heaven and Earth Mystery Sect, the root of all vital energy, cultivate my Curse, confirm my abilities...

Shen Mo muttered the mantra, his mind stirring as he attempted to cultivate this Curse with the ”Performance Martial Arts” Destiny.

Just learning this Spell would not pose much of a problem. Only years of cultivation, constantly using the soul to journey through the Dark Blue Zone to enhance one’s cultivation, would gradually result in the Dragon Transformation, and being caught by the spiritual treasure magic artifact, the Dragon Rearing Pool, in the end.

He already knew the cruel reality behind this Spell. Even if it brought countless benefits, he would immediately withdraw and not become addicted to it.

However, after trying to cultivate the Spell, Shen Mo discovered that his usually unstoppable [Martial Performance] could not even begin cultivating this Curse.

It seems... I do not meet the conditions to cultivate the [Transforming Dragon Curse].

As for his not being qualified to become food for that Immortal Path giant, Shen Mo didn’t know what to feel for a moment!

Then, he took out a wooden box, placed the paper booklet containing the [Transforming Dragon Curse] into it, attached a Prohibition Talisman, and carefully placed it in his Universe Bag.

But in the next instant, something beyond Shen Mo’s expectation happened.

From a corner of the Universe Bag, a Blue Jade Slip suddenly released a dazzling light and, transforming into a streak of blue light, burst out.

In just a brief glance, Shen Mo had recognized the origin of this jade slip. It was the one dug up from underground by the Spirit Storage Rat when he was in seclusion in the Jade Pool Dungeon. At first, it was dirty, but after cleaning, it regained its blue color, with a trace of clear light flowing within. After Shen Mo had opened his Spirit Sea, he tried many different methods to break the external Prohibition on this jade slip, but they all failed.

He never thought that at this moment, the jade slip, as if triggered by something, would fly out of the Universe Bag on its own!

Just as Shen Mo was amazed, he saw the blue light fly straight towards Cao Ren, who was lying on the ground. In the next instant, the jade slip exploded, and the strange blue light contained within WHOOSHED into Cao Ren’s glabella.

”ROAR!”

A look of extreme pain crossed Cao Ren’s face as he let out a roar that sounded like both a dragon’s cry and a beast’s howl.

”Ren’er...” Cao Shanyue cried out, attempting to move forward to inspect, but Shen Mo stopped him.

”Uncle Shanyue, calm down! This is a blessing, not a curse, for Cao Ren.”

Shen Mo’s eyes shone brightly. Under his Bright Vision, he saw that the strange scales on Cao Ren’s chest were gradually fading.

His soul power swept out and once again plunged into Cao Ren’s glabella.

Suddenly, he seemed to arrive in a strange world, shadowy and without solid footing. Only a square Jade Pool hovered in the sky. Beneath it stood a half-human, half-dragon figure.

Dragon Rearing Pool!

Shen Mo had never seen the true appearance of this spiritual treasure magic artifact before, but the moment he saw the Jade Pool, he knew in his heart that this was the pool used by the Immortal Path giant to raise dragon-type ingredients.

As for the half-human, half-dragon figure, it was likely related to the Blue Jade Slip from the Jade Pool Realm.

He was mostly humanoid, but his face showed signs of Dragon Transformation, as if he were wearing a dragon’s head. His hands had also become ferocious and elongated, with sharp claws similar to the dragon claws Shen Mo had seen. The exposed skin was covered in layers of Scale Armor...

This figure was clearly a victim of the [Transforming Dragon Curse], and the degree of his transformation far surpassed Cao Ren’s!

This bizarre scene didn’t last long.

The next moment, the half-dragon figure moved. Carrying a terrifying aura, he struck the Dragon Rearing Pool in the sky with a punch.

In the Dragon Rearing Pool, the water, which resembled pure nectar, churned violently. Strange dragons of various colors and forms swam out of the pool, meeting the ferocious punch.

It was unknown what the half-dragon figure’s background was, but those strange dragons couldn’t withstand his Fist Energy. In the blink of an eye, a large number of them were killed or injured.

Countless shattered scales, broken horns, and severed claws, mixed with crimson blood, rained down from the sky.

BOOM!

Shen Mo felt a jolt in his soul.

When he focused his gaze again, he saw that a corner of the Dragon Rearing Pool’s body, which seemed crafted from jade, had been shattered, and a large amount of the pool’s Spiritual Liquid gushed out.

However, the half-dragon figure wasn’t faring much better. His entire fist was dripping with blood, and the white bone beneath the flesh was vaguely visible.

Even so, the man’s fighting spirit blazed fiercely. He continuously punched towards the Dragon Rearing Pool, a frenzied look on his face as if he wouldn’t stop until he had utterly shattered it!

Then, Shen Mo’s vision blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the powerful half-dragon figure had been pierced by two thin, white pillars, and his aura had weakened considerably.

These white pillars... they look a bit like chopsticks, don’t they? Shen Mo thought to himself.

Soon after, he saw the white pillars cross, clamping onto the half-dragon figure like picking up food with chopsticks, and tossing him towards the Dragon Rearing Pool.

”I would rather die!”

With a tragic, heroic roar, the half-dragon figure slammed his head into the corner of the Jade Pool. His skull instantly shattered, exploding into a large mist of blood.

Another corner of the Dragon Rearing Pool was smashed again, causing even more of its water to flow out.

The next moment, Shen Mo saw a green light fly out from the headless corpse. It flickered a few times in the void and then vanished without a trace.

What an unyielding Senior!

Shen Mo knew in his heart that the scene unfolding before him was merely an image remaining in the jade slip. Even so, he was still profoundly shaken by the heroic actions of this ”Half-Dragon Senior.”
