Chapter 110: The Cursed Pearl

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Goddess’s Tear wasn’t actually A tear left by a goddess. It was the essence of the Tear Pond in the Women City. Legend has it that one of the goddesses had fallen in love with a mortal. When the goddess knew that she could never be with that mortal, she cried over the Women City and formed the pond.

Only a single drop of the Goddess’s Tear could be obtained every year. It had the power to restore the spirit and mend the mind’s Mortal Gate. It was a treasure that was worth millions.

Fights between warriors often injured their Mortal Gates, and if any one of the Mortal Gates was broken, they could never use Martial Techniques ever again.

“No problem!” Ye Mo replied.

“Don’t agree so fast yet,” Cai Ling said. “This is still the Pleasure Valley’s territory.”

The Lord of the Frozen Palace had caught wind of Cai Ling being captured by the lord of the Pleasure Valley, Xiaoyao Langzi. The Palace Lord tried to stop Xiaoyao Langzi along his way back. That was the reason why Xiaoyao Langzi had ordered two of his men to take Cai Ling back to the Pleasure Valley through a shortcut.

Yet Xiaoyao Langzi had not foreseen that Ye Mo would appear before them.

In front of Ye Mo and Cai Ling lay the main city of the Pleasure Valley. Only when they had gone past the city could they be safe from the Pleasure Valley.

“Getting the Goddess’s Tear is my highest priority right now,” Ye Mo said.

If Ye Mo did not revive Ling’er in 49 days, Ling’er would turn into a charm permanently.

Ye Mo tried to break the cuffs with his spear but was unsuccessful.

As so, Ye Mo could only protect Cai Ling until they reached the Women City. Once they cleared the forest, they would arrive at the main city of Pleasure Valley, and past that was the Frozen Area, the territory of the Frozen Palace.

The Frozen Palace has been on the Pleasure Valley’s bad side for ages. The two fought each other often, which they were now doing at the moment because of Cai Ling.

Cai Ling led Ye Mo through the forest with her outstanding perception as Ye Mo followed with caution. After a few minutes, they were clear of the forest.

“Another hour and we’ll arrive at the Pleasure City,” Cai Ling said as she wanted to ask Ye Mo for his opinion. “If we want to head to the Women City, we’ll have to go through that city.”

With her beauty and the cuffs on her legs and arms, Cai Ling would stand out. Trouble would follow if she were found out in the city.

“You might attract unwanted attention with the way you are now,” Ye Mo rubbed his chin and said. “I have a cloak with me. It should be able to cover your whole body.”

“Good idea!” Cai Ling exclaimed.

Ye Mo took a black cloak from his Dimensional Bracelet and helped Cai Ling put it on to cover her sexy body. Ye Mo accidentally touched Cai Ling’s breast when he was tying the rope on the cloak, and it made her frown deeply as if she was about to explode from rage.

Yet she could only swallow the rage as she had to depend on the young man in front of her. If anything were to happen to her, the Women City would definitely perish.

The cloak covered her whole body, even her mouth and nose. Only her beautiful eyes were exposed.

It was normal attire in the Tianwu Kingdom and shouldn’t attract much attention in the city.

After an hour of walking, they arrived at the city. A few guards with spears in their hands were monitoring the people going in and out of the city.

The guards were all around Spirit Cultivating Sixth or Seventh Realm. They were stronger than what Ye Mo would have usually seen in the Limestone City.

Ye Mo and Cai Ling walked towards the gate while their hearts beat faster than usual. Yet the guards did not pay them much attention, and they successfully went into the city.

Ye Mo let out a breath of relief and led Cai Ling to the opposite gate. They would be safe if they were able to make it through the next gate.

“Hey, there’s a Cursed Pearl being auctioned off at the Pleasure Society,” Ye Mo said when he heard someone mentioning an auction. “I’ve heard that it has absorbed the hatred and curses from the heaven and earth. A few powerful clans are fighting over it as we speak. If the pearl were to be used to train a Martial Technique, that technique could be merged with the Cursed Will!”

“It’s easier said than done,” another person said. “If the warrior fails to control the will, it will consume them!”

“Yes, but you can get so much from it that it’s worth the risk. The young masters from the Tie clan and the Mu clan are both eying the pearl.”

Cursed? Ye Mo stopped and suddenly thought of something. Blood, curses, and wraith, they were all the same thing, the power of the dark. The Sky Blood got its power from killing thousands, and the Cursed Pearl from being cursed. Even if it was the weakest of all dark powers, it was still one of the Evil Energies.

Ling’er had once told Ye Mo that for the Sky Blood spear to regain its former power, it had to absorb a huge amount of dark energy.

Ye Mo began to think about the possibility that the Cursed Pearl could be used to enhance the Sky Blood Spear as the Evil Pearl was too powerful for Ye Mo to control.

The Sky Blood Spear might be able to regain its Spiritual Weapon powers by absorbing the Cursed Pearl and awakening the rage of the spearhead.

“Cai Ling,” Ye Mo suddenly called out. “I think we should stay here for a while. The possibility that the Valley Lord will notice that you’ve escaped is very high. If that’s true, then he will send more guards to the Northern Gate, maybe even to the Frozen Area. The most dangerous place is also the safest place to hide. Let’s stay here for a few days. If I can get my hands on the Cursed Pearl, I’m sure that I can break the cuffs on you.”

“I suggest you give up on the Cursed Pearl,” Cai Ling argued. “Even if you can get it, you wouldn’t be able to use it. Even those young masters will need the help from their masters to train using the pearl. How are you supposed to do that alone?”

“I’m not using it for training but for enhancing,” Ye Mo said calmly. “With the Cursed Pearl, my spear should be able to be enhanced into a Spiritual Weapon.”

“Are you telling me that weapons can break through their own level?” Cai Ling asked in surprise.

Cai Ling had heard of reforging or refining a weapon before, like mixing a rare material into a Low-grade Magical Weapon which would produce a Middle-grade Magical Weapon. It was her first time hearing that a Magical Weapon could be enhanced into a Spiritual Weapon.

Spiritual Weapons were rare treasures that only few in all of the Tianwu Kingdom could wield.

“That’s right,” Ye Mo said. “Let’s get to the Pleasure Society now.”

Without wasting any time, Ye Mo asked for directions and went straight to the Pleasure Society.
