Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty One – Shifting Star Sand
Zuo Mo was immersed in reading. Shi Zi Ming was an uncanny genius. He had never cultivated but his knowledge of power was exceptionally accurate. In his descriptions, the fundamentals of each system were clearly described and Zuo Mo gained a lot.
It was the first time that the three power systems were so clear in Zuo Mo’s mind. In the past, he had spent a lot of effort training the three powers but had never put them together. The three formed their own systems, and there were many branches in technique to each. Spells, yao arts, mo skills, which one did not have millions of techniques?
Not to mention identifying the roots of all three powers, just identifying the roots of one system was difficult. The variations of each system were like the branching veins of the leaf, there was the primary branch and the secondary branches within that system. Those that could gain perspective and identify the primary branches were the top experts.
And to understand this with all three powers, who could do that?
Looking at the soaring stone steles, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but feel as though he was staring at a tall mountain. If this was written by someone unparalleled in strength, Zuo Mo would not be so shocked.
But a mo that did not cultivate any mo skill could see all the profound mysteries. This talent, even three hundred years later, was something that was astounding.
Zuo Mo had the deepest impression of Shi Zi Ming’s description of the three powers.
Because he cultivated shen power, the three powers in his body were merged into one and were connected to each other. He already had a slight understanding of the connection between the three.
His understanding was very vague. When he saw Shi Zi Ming’s description of the connection, it was like a great bell and he understood many things.
Great joy came from the bottom of his heart.
He stared at the stone tablet, his mind was unusually clear. The three powers inside his body flowed and moved.
It was midnight now. The firmament above his head was filled with a sea of stars.
In the corner, the purple haired man’s face was filled with incredulity as he murmured to himself. “The thirty second stele! The thirty second stele … …
He turned his face to look at the deepest part of the stele forest. He suddenly had a thought. The two people that had advanced the fasted through the Great Peace Mo Skill Steles had appeared at the same time. Was there fate involved?
That year, he had watched as Qi Diao Yu walked into the Mo Skill Steles. Now, there was another youth that broke Qi Diao Yu’s record. Many memories surged up and he sighed.
But he knew, this was a night without rest for all the powers of Great Peace City!
No faction would not act to try and recruit such a talented genius!
At this time, a ray of starlight suddenly came down from the sea of stars and landed on Xiao Mo Ge in front of the stone stele!
The ray of light was thick and dots of light sand fell down.
Golden light suddenly came from Xiao Mo Ge’s body that flickered like fire. Even from far away, the purple haired man could feel the scorching heat.
The star sand’s light was not blinding, but among the shine of the stars, it was pretty to look at.
The golden light was like a whirlpool that continuously pulled in the star sand.
A worldly apparition!
The purple haired man looked in shock at the sky. The vast number of stars were slowly spinning, threads of light forming a ray of light. Such a spectacular scene caused his mind to almost lose control.
An unfamiliar and distant term jumped into his mind—Shifting Star Sand!
———
In a deep part of the Stele forest, Qi Diao Yu was like an old monk meditating in front of a stone forest. He had maintained this position for more than twelve hours. The indifference on his face had disappeared and what had replaced it was concentration. That proud genius that was unable to be touched had disappeared. Qi Diao Yu at this time was like a normal mo youth, less of the indifference and more of a gentleness.
He suddenly raised his head and his face, one that rarely showed any expression, changed.
A ray of light fell from the vast expanse of stars and landed somewhere nearby in the stele forest.
“Shifting Star Sand … …”
His eyes lit up and he lightly jumped onto the top of the stone stele. He was instantly able to get a clear view.
It was him!
A thread of surprise flashed across Qi Diao Yu’s eyes. He had some impression of Zuo Mo. It was the first one to break free from his sound of enchantment when he had entered the city. It was this youth!
Gazing for a long time, he was silent.
Shifting Star Sand … …
———
When Zuo Mo had reached the twenty sixth mo skill stele, all the major factions in Great Peace City had started to secretly pay attention. As time went on and Zuo Mo advanced, every faction’s nerves tightened.
When Zuo Mo broke Qi Diao Yu’s past record, Great Peace City was deathly silent but the gazes of the major factions all gathered here.
Another peerless genius had appeared!
But when the worldly apparition appeared, the Great Peace City which had been having turbulent underflows instantly turned into chaos.
Countless people flew into the sky and stared in shock at the pillar of light that came from the sky into the stele forest!
A worldly apparition!
The mo that were familiar with this event couldn’t help but shouting the unfamiliar words “Shifting Star Sand.” Excitement, shock, astonishment, puzzlement mixed on the faces of the mo.
Other than the starlight, the sky above Great Peace City was almost completely black. Almost all the mo flew into the sky.
———
Lan Tian Long looked at the ray of starlight with a complex expression. He had more avenues of information than normal people and he knew who was causing the worldly apparition.
He suddenly felt relieved that he had retreated at the city gates. Before this, he had the idea of recruiting the other, but when the news that the other had broken Qi Diao Yu’s record, he sighed inside. A genius of this level was not one that the Lan Family could recruit.
But when he personally saw Zuo Mo cause the Shifting Star Sands, while shocked, he couldn’t help but snicker.
He knew that tomorrow, Great Peace City was going to be busy!
Those factions that wanted to recruit this person, tonight … …
This really was interesting!
———
Ye Ling looked at the stars with an excited expression.
All Hail The King!
Even though he always believed that Daren was someone strong that could become the king, when he personally saw Daren cause a worldly apparition, his body uncontrollably trembled!
He raised his head to look at the vast expanse of stars that was slowly spinning with devoutness on his face.
In the compound, everyone was gaping. And Zuo Mo’s subordinates all had ecstatic expressions and could not suppress their excitement.
Tao Xing, Tang Fei, and the others were stuck dumb where they were with wide gaping mouths.
But if one had to be said to be the most shocked, it would be Ceng Lian’er
No one knew better than she did what the power Zuo Mo cultivated inside his body was, but … …
She looked at the ray of starlight that was coming down from the sky with shock in her eyes.
He clearly cultivated Sun Shen Power, how could he attract the power of the stars?
This was not possible!
She had originally thought she had seen through Zuo Mo. She had even seen all of his memory fragments and she also knew of the chaotic power flows inside his body.
The Sun Shen Power was peerless in its dominance!
But this also meant that Sun Shen power strongly rejected other types of power.
How could he cause an apparition of the stars?
———
The moment that Zuo Mo caused the Shifting Stars Sand, Pu Yao jumped up as though his behind was on fire. And Wei who was usually composed abruptly stood up.
“Shifting Star Sand!”
The two of them exclaimed at the same time.
Pu Yao’s bloody pupil was extremely wide as though he was seeing a ghost. The indifference on Wei’s face had disappeared to be replaced by shock.
“This is not possible!”
“How is he doing it?”
The two exclaimed again. They exchanged a look and found the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
The two raised their faces. In the sea of consciousness, the star sand fell like snow. When a particle of star sand entered their bodies, their figures would grow a sliver more clear.
After a moment of silence, their shock gradually faded from their faces.
Pu Yao suddenly thought of the Stars in Daytime that had appeared in the past. That first worldly apparition had changed Zuo Mo’s fate. If it was not for that first Stars in Daytime, Zuo Mo would have never left Wu Kong Sword Sect.
Wei’s eyes grew brighter like the stars in night. “He really is a genius!”
Looking at Wei’s expression, Pu Yao became wary. He said coldly, “Don’t even think about it! Humph, what your set is, in the end, it is just sending him to die!”
Wei’s expression suddenly changed as he exclaimed, “Not good! The three seeds!”
Pu Yao stilled and then his expression changed drastically!
The master of the three was Zuo Mo!
———
The yao art house was empty of people in the deep of night.
In a corner of the yao art house, there was countless dots of star sand that floated like fireflies around the stele.
The stele suddenly produced a suction force and the star sand entered the stele.
The damaged stele gradually lit up.
A weak presence was like ripples in the water, faintly discernable.
———
In a deep cave in a mountain valley.
The star sand suddenly travelled through the layers of granite and shrouded the entire black pool
The silent black pool seemed to be awakened from a deep sleep and slowly shifted. Droplets of black liquid continuously broke free of the pool, floated up and accurately caught the star sand like little black insects.
The moving black liquid consumed the star sand and dropped back into the black pool.
As time passed, a layer of serene starlight flashed on the black pond.
In the black pond, a figure slowly floated up.
The serene star light was like a thin membrane that tightly covered the surface of this figure.
A presence like that of the water and the moon filled the cave.
———
At a sacrificial altar in the desert.
The star sand seemed to be caught by the fierce wind that continuously spun around the sacrificial altar. Dots of star sand entered the sacrificial altar and the patterns of the sacrificial altar started to slowly shift.
The sacrificial altar flashed with light. In this black and remote desert, it was blindingly bright like an enormous star.
At the center of the sacrificial altar, black figures roiled. Threads of starlight flashed in and out. The star light seemed to melt into the black shadows like threads of ice. The black shadows were dyed with a slight layer of star light.
A deep roar came out of the black shadows.
Translator Rambling: Back to Zuo Mo now. Oops … … he never meant to do that.
First . Thanks for the chapter 😀
Can’t help but score? XD
Well , i woke up early today so cant help but take first place .
Yo! Why’re you so early everyday?
I’m just lucky dude 😀
I did say you were a liar yesterday, didn’t I? Firstholic can’t just reduce his dose out of nowhere…Hmmmm~ I knew it, I knew it…
XD
Thank
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
*sings britney spears song* Oops Ge did it again~
*old-fashioned cd-player get’s stuck resulting in indefinite: “Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~Oops Ge did it again~” *
Thanks for the chapter!
What happened? This chapter was basically
:O LIGHT AT NIGHT?!
meh.
I wonder if this star sand is anything like the sutff that came off the stars in his mind when he was practicing yao arts.
I say the physical form.
Thank you for the chapter!
How can they be surprised, this is the man that caused stars in daytime and absorbed the soul setting divine light.
Instead of sun shen power its more like Star Shen Power!
Why limit yourself to just one heavenly body, take them all!
He didn’t cause Stars in Daytime. The two in his head did.
It happaned twice. I believe he did cause the second time.
Nope. I clearly remember Pu telling the stone to do it because Zuo Mo would die if he didn’t.
I don’t remember when but at least one time Pu seemed to be blaming it on some one else I thought at the time it was the gravestone/Wei.
Thanks for the new chapter! Not sure if I forgot what the seeds represent or if has yet to be explained.
The seeds are the mo and the yao, which Pu and Wei summoned
I am guessing it’s those three people (or yao and mo) that responded to pu’s and wei’s summoning. I remember they each going to these places, one into black pool, one into a dessert though don’t remember the yao art house one. Maybe this start sand will cause them to upgrade lol or attract unnecessary attention to the three locations
I believe it’s the three yaomo that Pu Yao and Wei recruited.
Thanks for The Chapter 😀
Zuo Mo must be thinking “Low Key! I must stay low key! Damn it! Why does this never work!?”
Thanks for the translation!
Nope. The point right now is to make the biggest waves possible.
I thought he was thinking. Star Sand for sale only 1000 mo bei per grain. Buy now or regret forever.
This would be good if this was not placed in between the baldy fight. Sigh. I was… WASSSS expecting it.
T.T
So, what you’re saying, is that that Lil’ Cliff has grown up into Big Fat Cliff and now occupies an entire chapter?
All Ge’ll say, is that the sun is a star >_>
Did zuo mo just woke another three ancients? Heck the zombies and skeletons themselves haven’t make another appearance.
Thank you for the chapter!
No, those are the places where the three people that were called by the dragon and… I want to say blood went to
Someone remind me: What three seeds? Are they referring to the descendents they summoned? If so, I wonder if this will result in a power up for the three.
Also wondering if this is a yao phenomenon. Only his yao arts actually have a connection to the stars after all. Well, unless you want to think of the stars as numerous suns, but xianxia tend not to like doing that. Plus, if this one were going to do that, then the moon would just be a mirror reflecting the sun’s power, which is clearly not how it’s being treated.
Yes, the seed referred to the descendant they summoned. you can see the place description. coffin/stele, black pool, altar. it was seen at few chapter before that they arrived at those place.
Yep, the things the descendents went into are the things that were described with sand buzzing around them like flies.
You can tell it is referring to the descendants of ancient families that serve pu yao and wei because the immediate scene afterwards shows that due to the magical link between those 3 guys and Zou Mou the 3 of them are currently also receiving stars, which is good in that it empowers them. but bad in that it reveals their location to potential hostile powers
it’s like beethoven is deaf
Beethoven was not deaf. He had perfect hearing until age 20, at which point it began to slowly deteriorate. by age 45 he was “almost deaf” which is not quite the same as deaf. he died at age 56
More old ghosts got wake up call.
Thanks!
thanks for the chapter!
>Shi Zi Ming was an uncanny genius. He had never cultivated but his knowledge of power was exceptionally accurate.
I really find this unbelieveable. how the hell did he know what is true and what was false without any actual experience? why would he never cultivate if he has such talent?
They also say he was born sentient so he must have been special in some way. He may have had an ability sense energy in a way no one else could; while lacking a body that could actually cultivate. These are just assumptions though. There is the old idiom that people who can’t do, teach.
There is such a thing you know
Its like someone in a wheelchair studying sprinters
He couldnt cultivate, but he was interested in it and studied it
He could have also been a hidden shen. He never cultivated “mo” skills.
this sounds most plausible. this also explains how he knew so much about all 3 power types
“The star sand suddenly travelled through the layers of granite and shrouded the entire black pool” – the ‘.’ is missing.
“But if one had to be said to be the most shocked, it would be Ceng Lian’er” -> the ‘.’ is missing.
“But when the worldly apparition appeared, the Great Peace City which had been having turbulent underflows instantly turned into chaos.”
– Zuo Mo sure knows how to make a racket 😀
“But this also meant that Sun Shen power strongly rejected other types of power.
How could he cause an apparition of the stars?”
– Duh, ’cause he’s fabulous, that’s why.
Plus, it’s not like what’s her name is really a true expert on shen power. She knows a lot but not everything.
“Pu Yao’s bloody pupil was extremely wide as though he was seeing a ghost. The indifference on Wei’s face had disappeared to be replaced by shock. — They exchanged a look and found the disbelief in each other’s eyes.”
– Now I’m a little scared to know what super weird skill Zuo Mo has activated this time…
AND feeling like saying to certain granpas:”You do know who you are dealing with, right? Why are you still so amazed when Lil’Mo does freaky stuff? It should be the norm by now…Geez.”
Yao Art House???
Silent black pool???
Sacrifical Altar???
Did I miss anything in the previous chapters? I don’t remember where these places are or what they mean… can someone help?
P.s: and we are left with 2 consecutive cliffs now, one after another.
Those places were mentioned a few chapters ago and they are connected to “the seeds” mentioned in this chapter…Wei-kun and Pu-chan called out to the descendants of their old comrades (or something like that). There was only a few left though. The granpas apparently planned to make them Lil’Mo’s servants…or something along those lines, if I remember the hints correctly.
The grandpas wanted them to take over the inheritance of their skills. Just in case Zuo Mo declines.
It’s where the lions are hidden. They will now come out and combine to form Voltron.
I guess i know where you’ve been in youtube~
The king has revealed himself… That’s why his subordinates were excited… Now I’m curious whether those new guys who emerged would be our MCs new subordinates… Very interesting.
Thanks fir the chapter as always 🙂
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Poor Zuo Mo. All he wants to do is to help A Gui recover then live out his life in peace. Maybe learn about his past, but the world doesn’t want to leave him alone.
Thanks for the chapter
Ahaa, Ge is Ge
Thanks for the chapters.
Thank you.
Oops! Zuo Mo did another boo boo!
Dear Friends, many thanks to the Author, Translator(s), (Editors), (Donors) for the awesome chapter! With lots of love, Jack
