Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Five – Yao Summons Response
Pu Yao was in a complex mood. He walked very slowly.
Even though he entered the Ten Finger Prison like usual, there seemed to a different power that caused him to feel a rare nervousness. The past few thousands of years were like a vast river that divided the past and present. Some things had blurred in his memory, but some things were as clear as though he had saw them yesterday.
When a rebellious figure entered his vision, his nervous emotions suddenly calmed down.
Thousands of years, the glory had long dissipated and only left behind a sigh.
Already mentally prepared, Pu Yao did not feel demotivated. The light blue crystal that he seemed to recognize caused his thoughts to blur and felt slightly moved.
“You are a child of the Youqin Family?” Pu Yao’s tone was indifferent.
The other examined Pu Yao from top to bottom, his voice filled with suspicion. “You left behind the news?”
He was not tall, and there was a irregular blue crystal on his forehead. His eyes were long and narrow, a rebellious smile at the corner of his mouth. The fiery red hair was like a burning ball of flame and gave people the feeling of disobedience.
“Yes, it was me,” Pu Yao said indifferently.
“So pretentious!” The youth snorted. “Hey, Old Person, who are you really?”
Old Person?
Pu Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly. There had never been a person that dared to call him this. He snorted and without visibly moving, countless chains of light erupted from under the youth and tied him up.
The youth’s expression changed slightly but he did not surrender. “Old Guy, there’s no accomplishment in bullying little children!”
“Are you the only one left in the Youqin family?” Pu Yao asked coldly.
“Just ye is left!” The youth widened his eyes and raised his head. “How about it? Don’t think that you can pretend in front of ye with some conning yao arts!”
Then he seemed to say to himself, “If I knew this long ago, I wouldn’t have listened to the old man. What stupid thing, what daren, is this an evil cult?”
Pu Yao did not seem to hear him. “What is your name?”
“Youqin Lie!” The youth rolled his eyes. The other person’s power was beyond his predictions.
“A good name,” Pu Yao said expressionlessly. He then asked, “Where are you living now?”
“Jail!” The youth snickered. “A Bei Ge Jail, maximum security, how about it? Very strong!”
“Why are you in jail?” Pu Yao asked.
“Ha, I killed a bastard from a prestigious family, motherf***er, I’ll kill his entire family if I see them again!” Youqin Lie said hatefully.
“You have a grudge against him?”
“No!” Youqin Lie’s head moved up, his eyes bloodshot and his hair seemed to burn. “Ha, that bastard raped my friend’s younger sister. Ye spent three months before finding a chance to kill him!”
“Three months? You are really weak!” Pu Yao smirked coldly.
“You can try!” Youqin Lie looked disdainfully at Pu Yao. “He had at least twenty guards , and has two people guarding the door even when he is doing that thing! Please, it is a prestigious family, the yao arts they cultivate is much stronger than ye’s. However, hee hee, got tricked by ye, I almost killed all of them.”
Prestigious family! Pu Yao smirked inside and then asked, “You can come into the Ten Finger Prison from jail?”
“Ha, those idiots, they think putting jinzhi on ye will work, how can they know ye’s skills? Getting into Ten Finger Prison is child’s play!” Youqin Lie said smugly.
A thread of light flashed through Pu Yao’s bloody pupil. He continued, “Has your father has spoken to you of your mission.”
“That old man!” Youqin Lie’s tone was unconcerned but his rebellious gaze suddenly became warmer. He shook his head. “Hey, it’s not that ye wants to miss this, but ye is in jail and cannot help.”
“Just escape the prison.” Pu Yao said coldly.
“Escape the prison?” Youqin Lie seemed to hear the greatest joke and roared with laughter. “This is A Bei Ge Jail, maximum security prison. Haha, I’ve never heard of anyone escaping this prison!”
A ball of light suddenly appeared in Pu Yao’s hand. He pressed his hand against Youqin Lie’s forehead. The ball of light seemed to be soaked up by a sponge and entered Youqin Lie’s head.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Youqin Lie’s voice held a thread of panic. But his eyes suddenly widened as he said disbelievingly, “This is … …”
“You have ten days to escape the prison,” Pu Yao said coldly.
“If you cannot escape, then die inside it.”
Finishing, Pu Yao disappeared.
Youqin Lie didn’t seem to hear him. His mouth was wide, his face shocked and his eyes unfocused as though he was possessed.

E De felt his heart was drumming.
He had always lived in Little Savage Jie. After Little Savage Jie changed hands, he entered Shi Dong Daren’s battalion due to Shi Dong Daren’s reputation. At the start, the days had been pretty good. Even though the cultivation was high intensity, no one complained. The more hardship they experienced when training, the easier it would be to survive when they fought on the battlefield.
There was nothing to say about Shi Dong Daren’s skill. [Great Day Hardship Guard] was a mo skill on a level that they used to dream about and it stirred up everyone’s desire to cultivate. There was no need for supervision. Everyone furiously cultivated. On the battlefield, Shi Dong Daren had been undefeated and taken down all of Little Savage Jie.
Everyone was filled with hope about the future.
Yet at this time, they had suddenly received Shi Dong Daren’s order. They needed to go to a place called Turtle Island and receive special training.
Special training?
No one had heard this before. He had asked everyone, including the people that had followed Daren for a long time. Special Training? They all shook their heads and spoke of their ignorance on the matter. Everyone desired to go to Turtle Island because the old-timers of the battalion would tell them how great that place was. Most importantly, the king was there.
Yes, right now, everyone knew that Shi Dong Daren and Ye Ling Daren had sworn allegiance to a daren. This daren was called the one that was most likely to become king.
King, for the mo of Little Mountain Jie was a far away term.
But no one doubted Shi Dong Daren and Ye Ling Daren’s judgment. Almost everyone believed that they were following a powerful person that could possibly become king!
Turtle Island was completely different than what E De had imagined. This place was filled with xiuzhe.
This mo army that entered Turtle Island for the first time almost turned and ran. Fortunately, everyone later found that Turtle Island didn’t just have xiuzhe. There were mo and also yao.
Thinking back to everyone’s expressions at that time, E De found it was humorous. Actually, he hadn’t been much better. He quickly found that no matter if it was yaomo or xiuzhe, they could all coexist peacefully here. Even though there would be unfriendly gazes, but no one would fight you just because you were mo.
Only now did E De completely believe in the power of the king!
Before this, no one was able to do this.
As expected of the man that was most likely to become king!
E De quickly started to like this place, and liked the atmosphere. However, as they became familiar with Turtle Island, the special training that had been spoken of for so long finally arrived.
E De carefully entered the room as instructed, and seven to eight pairs of eyes instantly stared at him.
E De instantly became nervous. What made him even more nervous was that these people were all xiuzhe! Even though there was no fighting between yaomo and xiuzhe on Turtle Island, he couldn’t help but feel unsafe being stared at by a group of xiuzhe.
“Don’t be nervous, a question first, your bloodline?”
“Some of Shell Crocodile mo, but just a little bit,” E De hurriedly said.
“Shell Crocodile, not a bad bloodline, colonel level. We can engrave the Shell Crocodile mo matrix for you and awaken the Shell Crocodile blood inside of you to increase your combat strength about two times. Of course, the specific effects will only be seen afterwards. Also, the choice is in your hands.” The one who was speaking was Master Sun Bao.
“Engrave a mo matrix?” E De’s face was puzzled.
“Do you know matrix awakening masters?”
“Yes.”
“A bit more high level than that.”
E De finally understood some of this. His heart couldn’t help but move. He asked, “I have awakened my mo matrix already? Can I still get a mo matrix engraved?”
“Yes.”
“I’m willing!” E De was afraid the other would withdraw the offer knowing he had already been awakened. He finally understood what special training was.
E De’s quick and decisive responsive surprised Sun Bao and the others. They had originally thought that the other would hesitate. They had even prepared a great deal of methods of persuasion but the other didn’t even think before agreeing.
Xiuzhe could not understand the desire mo had towards strength.
But since E De agreed, then engraving the mo matrix naturally started.
When they learned that Zuo Mo had encountered danger and needed help, Sun Bao and Ji Wei had started to discuss how they could help Daren. Coincidentally, Zuo Mo had sent back some information on the matrix awakening methods he had learned. The duo’s eyes lit up and then found that the mo matrix could help Daren.
Mo were most suited to move in the mo realms.
Therefore, they organized all the power of Golden Crow Camp and started to study the content that Zuo Mo had sent back about mo matrixes.
The present Golden Crow Camp were not the greenhorns of the past. No matter if it was individual strength or collective strength, they had multiplied many times. Adding on that everyone was unprecedentedly united, the entire plan progressed rapidly.
Pu Yao and Wei also helped out in this process.
Zuo Mo had pioneered the process of engraving mo matrixes on Dong Zi. Golden Crow Camp quickly familiarized themselves, and compared to the mo matrix Zuo Mo carved on Dong Zi, Golden Crow Camp had more skill. Their methods were more developed and effective.
But because engraving could not escape the basic requirement of bloodlines, Guard Camp was temporarily unable to undergo the process. The two masters put their focus on the other mo battalion, Grey Camp.
Lil’ Miss approved their mo engraving plan on the spot.
Therefore, there was the special training order.
E De did not hesitate. He never dreamt that something good like this would land on his head. He had once heard that hose matrix awakening masters could activate the blood in people’s bodies to the greatest extent, but there were no outstanding matrix awakening masters in Little Savage Jie. The effects of E De’s matrix awakening had been very terrible.
Otherwise, he believed that he would not just be the strength he had now.
No one had expected that a completely new era had started like this.
In the name of war!
Translator Ramblings: Pu Yao really likes the “reach xx level … … or you will be killed.” I wonder if this is just how he motivates people to learn or maybe his teacher taught him in this way.
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for chapter!
I’ve always been puzzled why the three races got along so well together under Zuo Mo, realistically speaking, there should be ALOT of tension between the races since they’ve been at war for god knows how long. There is bound to be grudges and stuff among them. I love this story (it’s MC is not so hypocritical as the MCs from other story like it), but I wish there was more intrigue in Zuo Mo’s camp. It’s been pretty smooth sailing for him as leader, he actually doesn’t even do that much leading, beside friendly competition, there hasn’t been any conflict among his captains. Wish there was some to spice it up xD
well the yao under him were picked up before ever experiencing a battlefield or any personal losses while the xiuzhe were betrayed by their own race so they were naturally more accepting. as for the mo they would sell their souls for strength so they don’t care too much.
most likely this is because of many years of isolation and peace. old feuds get forgotten and new ones made. The common thread throughout the camps is that they all owe Zou Mo for enabling them to get this far. They had no real hate for the other and seek strength which can more easily be found when they cross boundaries and blend knowledge.
Also while Zou Mo acts as a unifying factor. Comradeship and knowing that great benefits are gained through cooperation enables there strength to rise as a whole. when they see this it binds them closer to this blended group.
Besides all the unification factors it is strange that no arrogant young fire brand hasn’t shaken things up but well the way they train the battalions seems to weed out/temper those who would mess with Zou Mo reign.
also, each faction thinks he is one of their own. The xiuzhe think he is human, the mo think he is mo. The yao think he is yao.
Here is why there is no conflict, and only unfriendly stares, Blind Worship. The followers of Zuo Mo will follow their Daren blindly. If Zuo Mo says these people are now his people, none of his followers will complain and assume its only natural that Yao and Mo would also follow their great Daren. The Yao that are with him are families that were saved by Zuo Mo and their new generation follows him blindly. The Mo that have seen his strength and believe him to be their king and have conquered the homeland for him, and now the Mo of their homeland are now getting free matrixes and increasing their strength and in the process creating more Blind Followers. The only tension you would see would be the tension which has already been shown and that is the tension between the different camps of who gets to have the most of Zuo Mo’s favor.
One thing is xiuzhe have had the traditional bonds of society ripped apart and many weren’t the most privileged of society in first place and new order is built to produce battalions not the sect model which is meant to concentrate resources on the core disciples.
Thank you.
Little by little ge and his gang change the world.
Thanks for the chapter!
Nothing is a better motivator than the fear of death.
Lol
Break out of jail yourself or die, Pu yao is very strict.
It might not just be Pu Yao but the war-time era he’s from. These current youngsters are all coddled. Just a yuanying and they get scared. Just a Sky-Splitting Calamity and they get scared. Just a weak titanium-level general/butcher and they get scared.
Or, in fact his teacher taught him this way. Maybe Pu Yao really had 999,999 senior disciple brothers that just never reached xx level.
Kinda had a hard time keeping a straight face with this new guy’s name. I mean seriously someone hand him a blue pill to change his name already lol.
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
lol.. Pu Yao seems to be the type of teacher that gets all the troublemaker in his class..
Thanks for the chapter!
Or he is just looking usefull tools and dont like to waste on worthless things. Also, it would be too shamefull to only find one weakling, even if the yao secrect bloodlines died out would be better than to only find one weakling.
Thanks for the new chapter!
thanks for the chapter!
In the name of jingshi !!!
Thanks for the Chapter 😀
I like how Pu handles things.
Can be applied IRL. (Workplace)
Well, I doubt it’ll actually kill him. After all, he’s the last of his bloodline and Pu promised to help him if he could.
I wonder if they’ll ever figure out a way to engrave unrelated mo matrices, and how long it’ll take for the mo to find out that they have this technique, and if they’ll be able to copy it. It could definitely tip the balance of the war if the technique got out. And if they’ll start engraving them on xiu at some point like Pu did for Zuo Mo.
Also wondering if the xiu market still carries mo body parts, or if they’ve been banned on Turtle Island.
Wait, did Pu Yao give him something that can kill him? I assumed that PY gave him his hereditary art and bascially told him if you can’t escape with this then you’re useless and may as well die.
I’m honestly not sure. Knowing Pu, his hereditary art is one that can kill him if he hasn’t mastered it in that time frame.
Engraving Mo Matrices seems like a mix of Xiuzhe and Mo techniques to me, awakening the matrices using fresh and blood from mo and forming the perfect bloodline matrices using Xiuzhe’s formation carving (or engraving here), so I think it’s rather difficult to copy the technique per se, unless you have both mo and xiuzhe skills, just like Ge and his subordinates.
shouldn’t anyone tell Old man Pu that there exists other ways of incentivising people other than threatening them with death….
No, Pu Yao is a great sky yao, he cannot fall to Zuo Mo’s level and use jingshi.
Why did I feel like the chapters were shorter?? Is it bcoz I’m reading too fast and getting impatient?? Hahaha…I keep cursing these days bcoz lack of things to read.
BTW, thanks for translating and making my day. ZM battalion keep getting bigger n bigger. I wanna see the day where those xiuzhe that leave him see his achievements. Hahaha.
You want more power? Join us and it’s yours. As well as even more once we all power up further. Good way to get converts, honestly.
🙂
“You have ten days to escape the prison,” Pu Yao said coldly.
“If you cannot escape, then die inside it.”
– Ohohohoo, so savage, Pu-chan! So savage.
I think what Pu Yao meant by 10 days or die is. If you don’t make it out in 10 days, then I will leave you there for the rest of your term. Which could be life since Lie murdered a noble and some of his people.
The matrix and physique thing has always confused me because of Zuo Mo. Unless this is some spoiler thing about his origins that hasn’t been revealed. I mean I think the question of what race he is has come up a lot. The bits I remember seem to confirm he is a xiuzhe.
Are physiques analogous to body cultivation; just that you need to have a matrix to get them?
Or do matrices just make it easier to get them so you don’t need really need them? Was Pu’s shock at Zuo Mo mastering all 6 transformations of Great Day because most mo couldn’t, or that he shouldn’t have been able too because he’s not a mo.
In the chapter it said you had to have a bloodline for the matrix, but the one on Zuo Mo’s hand and all the others he’s had (unless they were formations) have worked just fine.
If I remember correctly, Shen power existed a long time ago. When the world energy decreased it became hard to cultivate it so xiuzhe focused on ling, yao on consciousness, and mo on matrixes. There have been experiments on cross training but it was too tough so most gave it up. Therefore, each race assumes that if you use their specialty then you’re the same.
The mo assume that Guard Camp is mo. The yao probably assume that Flower Camp is yao.
I also think that at some point Pu Yao said that mo matrixes, yao arts, and xiuzhe skills at granular level could be broken down into formations.
I understand that shen power split into 3 ways of cultivating: ling, consciousness, and body. Anyone should be able to cultivate these 3 things regardless if they are mo, xiu, or yao.
What I’m confused about is they seem to place emphasis on bloodlines. There are certain yao spells only specific yao can use. Mo seem to be even more strict since you are born with a matrix.
Do matrices determine what physique you can get, or make easier to cultivate specific physiques?
If bloodline is important why could Zuo Mo throw on different matrices and have them work. Unless what he’s been putting on himself are formations based on matrices, not true matrices.
The best example I can give is Pu not caring that Zuo Mo got Jade Metal Head or Great Day. He said mo cultivation is similar to dhyana xiu cultivation and took it in stride. Only to freak out when he mastered the 6 transformations of Great Day. Was he shocked because of the difficulty or because it should be impossible for a xiu to do it?
Jade Metal Head came as a result of Wei’s meddling and that power took a worldly apparition to make it happen. He’s surprised because Zuo Mo was able to evolve it up to the Great Day mo physique without any “help.”
the basis of everything is everything is formations but how they are used is different. Xiuzhe have the greatest understanding of formations followed by yao then mo who need the knowledge the most seem to have the least understanding about them.
Not just that but they have actually put some of those formations derived from skills into larger scale “practical” versions.
The mats Zuo Mo’s xiuzhe use? Derived from Mo matrix!
The Golden Crow fire golden crow camp uses? Derived from Zuo Mo’s golden crow pill.
It is in part a shame that Zuo Mo came to realize his ease of learning Mo arts because before he actually invested time in formations himself and made great strives… The Mo matrix engraving and shen tree formation are the only recent examples where he personally used his formation skills otherwise he has become too reliant on golden crow camp.
Thanks!
Don’t get me wrong… there are many benefits to joining Zombie Turtle Empire
But Pu…
That entrance exam a bit hardcore no?
Hahaha thanks for the chapter!! 😂😊
he;s probably just in a rush
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Wonder if Pu Yao and Wei are so hurried because they’re starting to feel that Zuo Mo’s identity is going to be really troublesome later?
I agree with a commenter above that Pu would rather not have anyone answer his call than to have a weakling show up. He’s very competitive with Wei and is feeling the pressure. Ye is a Sky Yao Tianmai! Ye cannot be falling behind that coffin! All you trashes just ignore ye’s messages!
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
Thanks for the chapter
I think it’s just pu yao based on how wei perform his teacher character at the beginning.
Thank you for the chapter!
Pu Yao is a Yandere?
