Xia He and the other two brought Ye Mo and Zi Xuan back to the Bamboo Forest Fort.
Ye Mo, on the other hand, had been locked up in the seal room for the past few days, trying to cultivate seals. Although it was a last-minute effort, if he did not do so, he would not have any chance of winning the Seal Gathering.
His focus had always been on training, and seal techniques had been completely neglected. Seal techniques were a test of one's heart strength. Although Ye Mo's heart strength was not weak, having already reached the peak of the Eighth Level, the control of one's heart strength and one's understanding of seal techniques were more important when cultivating seals.
Ye Mo could definitely become a seventh-order sealing artist. But if he wanted to become the champion, he needed a trump card. Even though Ling 'er had provided him with quite a few eighth-order ninth-tier seals, Ye Mo was unable to cultivate a single one of them. His Heart Strength had reached the required level, but his techniques were completely lacking.
Within this half a month, Ye Mo had never stepped out of the seal room. Although he could cultivate seals without limit, the lack of materials was a problem. With the Seal Gathering around the corner, the high-grade heart-stones in some of the large-scale trading centers had all been swept clean by the big powers. Ye Mo had only used the heart-stones from the Bamboo Forest Fort's warehouse. However, these heart-stones were obviously not going to last long.
"The seals get more complicated the further I go. Looks like it will be impossible for me to cultivate Eighth Level Ninth-Tier seals before the Seal Gathering."
Ye Mo shook his head. Looking at the seals that he had wasted, he felt somewhat dejected.
Only by cultivating Eighth Level Ninth-Tier seals would he have a chance of winning.
"Ye Mo, here are 100 Eighth Level Ninth-Tier heart-stones. I have placed them all at the door."
Suddenly, Zi Xuan's voice could be heard from outside.
"Didn't Fort Master Xia say that all the heart-stones in the big trading markets, especially the Seventh and Eighth Level ones, have been bought by the big clans?"
Ye Mo raised his eyebrows and slowly opened the door of the stone room. He saw Zi Xuan's back as she left, and at her feet was a pile of heart-stones.
"The Profound Aura of these heart-stones is still dissipating. Looks like this girl has been killing beasts outside these few days."
Ye Mo smiled and kept all the heart-stones before going into seclusion again to cultivate seals.
There were still three days before the Talisman Gathering when the tightly shut stone door finally opened once again. Instantly, a powerful Profound Qi fluctuation erupted from within.
Soon after, a skinny figure slowly walked out from within.
Xia He, Xia Shiyun, Hou Qinglong, and Zi Xuan were also waiting outside the sealing room, as Ye Mo had said that today would be the day he would come out of seclusion.
When they looked at Ye Mo, he was a little messy, with some stubble on his face. He looked like a dispirited youth.
But when the four of them looked at Ye Mo, they sensed something different. Even though Ye Mo was intentionally hiding it, Xia He and the other two could still sense it. As for Zi Xuan, she was puzzled as well.
"Ye Mo, did you make another breakthrough? Why do I feel that you're different? "
Zixuan was the first to ask.
"My Heart Power has broken through to Level Nine!"
Ye Mo smiled helplessly. Even though he hadn't successfully cultivated a single Level Eight Ninth-Tier Seal in the past month, the backlash from failing to cultivate seals had continued to temper his Heart Power, allowing Ye Mo's Heart Power to break through to Level Nine, a realm that everyone dreamed of.
Level Nine Heart Power, a hundred times the explosive power. This was also the limit of the Sky Blood Spear. But Ye Mo knew that his Heart Power training had only just begun.
"What? His Heart Power has reached Level Nine? "
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. What did Level Nine mean? That was the level of the Divine Realm. A fighter in the First Cycle Transformation Realm had actually broken through to Level Nine in Heart Power. This was absolutely unbelievable.
Especially Hou Qinglong. Not only had he cultivated the Infinity Ancestor's Profound Aura, but he had also gradually accepted the Infinity Ancestor's Weapon Refining Technique. Weapon Refining Technique was also a test of Heart Power. He naturally knew what it meant for his Heart Power to break through to Level Nine.
"I've barely reached Level Nine. But I haven't made any progress in my Seal Technique. I can only take it one step at a time."
From Ye Mo's point of view, the biggest benefit of Level Nine Heart Power was the improvement of his Zhu Deity Domain. The current him could even defeat a fighter in the Eighth Cycle Transformation Realm.
"I'm guessing that even Fu Si might not have reached the ninth level of heart force. Now that you've broken through to the ninth level of heart force, just the power of your mind is enough to crush many people. However, when it comes to the Talisman Gathering, you'll still have to rely on your seal techniques."
Xia He said calmly.
Having a high Heart Power was indeed an advantage. But the Seal Technique was still a competition of seal refining techniques.
There were only three days left before the Seal Technique Gathering. Ye Mo had to obtain the Level Seven Sealing Artist badge. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to participate.
After leaving the Bamboo Forest Fort, Ye Mo followed Xia He's lead and wandered around the Spirit Seal City's southern district. The Spirit Seal City was divided into four districts, and each district had a Sealing Master's Guild. Ye Mo was heading to the Sealing Master's Guild to obtain the Level Seven Sealing Artist badge.
After wandering around the city for a while, Ye Mo finally saw a simple and unadorned stone tower. Around the stone tower, there was a formless energy ripple. From all directions, sealing artists walked into the tower.
Many sealing artists didn't care about the sealing artist rank. They had the strength and didn't need a badge to prove their strength. But to participate in the Seal Technique Gathering, one had to have a badge. Thus, they could only head to the Sealing Master's Guild.
The giant stone tower in front of Ye Mo was the Sealing Master's Guild. The four major sealing master's guilds were under the jurisdiction of the Seal Clan.
After entering the stone tower, Ye Mo scanned his surroundings and noticed that there were quite a number of sealing artists walking out with a badge in their hands. The badge was actually a small seal with seven horizontal bars on it, representing a rank seven. Ye Mo even saw a badge with eight horizontal bars, representing a rank eight.
"There are so many powerful sealing artists!"
Ye Mo said in astonishment.
"Hehe, the Seal Technique Gathering of the Zone of Seals is a grand event of the whole continent. Although its influence isn't as great as the Spirit Martial Genius Tournament, it is still able to attract all the sealing artist geniuses of the whole continent," Xia He explained.
Xia He explained. Then, he said, "I'll bring you to the place for the test now."
After that, Xia He brought Ye Mo to a stone room.
Outside the stone room, there was a long queue of more than a hundred people.
Just the Sealing Master's Guild in the southern district alone had a long queue of more than a hundred people, all of them here to participate in the sealing artist rank test. This scene shocked Ye Mo.
One had to know that these people were only the sealing artists who were here to participate in the test. Based on Ye Mo's estimation, there could be more than ten thousand people in the entire southern district who were here to participate in the Level Seven Sealing Artist test.
With so many people queuing, Ye Mo could only follow the rules and wait patiently at the back.
