Chapter 748 These Opportunities Are Not Bad and Can Accelerate My Realm Advancement
Ao Shan sized up Shen Mo a few times, but then slightly frowned.
Shen Mo's appearance was entirely different from what he imagined the successor of the Great Wilderness Venerate to be.
He had expected some domineering overlord of the world.
Yet at first glance, he only looked like an ordinary human male.
Ao Shan said indifferently, "Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times."
Shen Mo's expression did not change, but his gaze fell upon Ao Shan's Dragon Life Panel.
After looking at it for a while, he instead furrowed his brow.
Xiang Yuan's Monster Life Panel was quite normal.
He was simply a monster Saint who had built up his strength over time.
In the future, he would continue to shine in the long struggle against the demons, and for now he would not die.
But Ao Shan…
[Name: Ao Shan.]
[Realm: First Realm Thorough Earth Dragon Saint.]
[Fate Patterns: Pure-Blood True Dragon, Astounding Fortune, Dragon Saint Body, Great Dao of Strength, Demon Saint Parasite, Obstinate and Self-Willed, Nether Prison Dragon Body.]
[Pure-Blood True Dragon: Golden fate pattern. You were born a pure-blood true dragon. Even if you spend your time eating and sleeping, your realm will rise swiftly.]
[Astounding Fortune: Purple fate pattern. Your luck is excellent, always astonishing others.]
[Dragon Saint Body: Red fate pattern. You have become a Dragon Saint. Your body has merged with traces of the Great Dao, making both your flesh and Saint Soul exceptionally strong.]
[Great Dao of Strength: Golden fate pattern. You have grasped the rudiments of the Great Dao of Strength. With a raised hand you can shatter mountains, with a stomp you can break rivers. Every movement carries the power to collapse heaven and earth.]
[Demon Saint Parasite: Golden fate pattern. In your early years, you were parasitized by the Demon Saint Youhuang. Your realm advanced quickly due to Youhuang's power. One day, you will become yet another avatar of Youhuang.]
[Obstinate and Self-Willed: White fate pattern. You are withdrawn by nature and dislike conversation. You only trust your own judgment, rarely believing in the decisions of others. As a result, you often make mistakes, yet seldom repent.]
[Nether Prison Dragon Body: Golden fate pattern. A Saint-tier physique. You can absorb the nether aura of the deep seas to hasten your cultivation. The more enclosed and frigid the environment, the faster your progress.]
After reading these fate patterns, Shen Mo's gaze lingered on the four words [Demon Saint Parasite].
Demon Saint Youhuang.
He knew this name.
The Five Sacred Demon Kingdoms were divided into five divisions: You Division, Mad Division, Dark Division, Corpse Division, and Filth Division.
The You Division was widely acknowledged as the strongest, with the Mad Division second.
The You Division also had the largest number of Demon Saints.
And Youhuang was the strongest of them all!
It could be said that the most powerful Demon Saint of the Five Sacred Demon Kingdoms was Youhuang!
Many years ago, the human Supreme who was cultivated with the full support of the three races, only to later defect to the Five Sacred Demon Kingdoms, had been lured by Youhuang.
It had been a bitter humiliation for all.
Youhuang was also known for having the most avatars.
Shen Mo had long suspected that even among the Saints, some were avatars of Youhuang.
Unexpectedly, today he actually saw one.
Shen Mo could not help but glance at Ao Shan once more.
He also looked at this person's recent opportunities.
Ao Shan would ultimately become a traitor and defect to the demon side.
Intercepting Ao Shan's opportunities was only natural.
Shen Mo's eyes lit up as he thought, "These opportunities are not bad, and they can also accelerate my realm advancement."
At this moment, Xiang Yuan spoke. "Both of you should already know the message."
"We cannot delay any longer. Let us set off now."
Shen Mo and Ao Shan both nodded.
One human, one monster, one dragon—together they tore open the void and stepped into the turbulent currents within.
Xiang Yuan glanced at Ao Shan. "I heard that Brother Ao Shan possesses a dragonbone vessel crafted from your own dragon bones. We shall have to trouble you with it this time."
Ao Shan nodded, and with a casual toss, a dragonbone vessel forged of chilling white bones appeared before Shen Mo and Xiang Yuan.
Shen Mo, Xiang Yuan, and Ao Shan boarded the dragonbone vessel, which immediately sped forward through the turbulent void.
The turbulent void was merely a general term for chaotic space.
In some regions, the currents were faster and more disorderly, forming what were called void whirlpools.
Even Saints would not dare to enter them.
Although the dragonbone vessel was extremely fast, its defenses were not very strong.
Thus, Ao Shan had to focus intently on maneuvering it, fearful of accidentally entering a void whirlpool.
By examining their Monster Life Panel and Dragon Life Panel, Shen Mo already knew the truth.
Xiang Yuan had comprehended the Great Dao of Earth.
Ao Shan had comprehended the Great Dao of Strength.
Neither was adept at navigating within the void.
They could not sense the presence of a void whirlpool in advance.
Only by spotting it with their eyes could they avoid it.
As a result, they faced several dangerous situations.
Shen Mo finally could not watch any longer and spoke.
"There is a void whirlpool on the left ahead."
Ao Shan did not believe him.
Could a junior truly have more experience than himself?
Yet before long, a void whirlpool really did appear on the left ahead.
The dragonbone vessel was nearly drawn into it.
At that moment, Shen Mo spoke again. "On the right ahead is a shattered small world. The void whirlpools there are extremely strong. Avoid it quickly."
Ao Shan was doubtful.
But Xiang Yuan immediately said, "Ao Shan, Shen Mo has comprehended the Great Dao of the Void. His understanding of the void naturally surpasses ours."
"It is best we trust him."
Only then did Ao Shan let out a cold snort from his nostrils. "Very well, I will listen to you."
He promptly adjusted the course.
Sure enough, after traveling some distance, they discovered countless fragments of dust to the right.
It was the remnants left after a small world had collapsed.
Only after endless years of being eroded by turbulent void currents would such fragments be reduced to powder and vanish entirely.
In the turbulent void, there was no day or night—only endless darkness.
The light of the great and small worlds was the only reference point.
Their destination was extremely far.
The dragonbone vessel required Saint Spirit Stones to replenish its power.
When replenishing the stones, it could not continue forward and had to stop.
Thus, they were forced to dock many times at various worlds.
Shen Mo also witnessed the local customs of each world along the way.
Each carried its own unique flavor.
On this day, the dragonbone vessel once again prepared to dock.
"Up ahead lies a small world, the Moon Saint World, under the control of our monster race."
Xiang Yuan revealed a smile.
Shen Mo nodded in understanding.
The monster race had many Saints who roamed the outside.
Because the lifespans of the monster and dragon races were far longer than those of humans, over countless years they traveled through the myriad worlds, leaving behind many seeds of civilization.
The Moon Saint World was one such well-known small world.
Even humans like Shen Mo, who resided in the Saintly Heaven and Earth, had heard of its name.
In truth, it was precisely because of these small worlds, like transit stations, that Saints could traverse the myriad worlds without losing their way or exhausting their strength.
Hearing this, both Shen Mo and Ao Shan nodded. "Excellent."
Traveling for so long in the turbulent void, with nothing but unchanging darkness, even Saints could feel desolate, their state of mind wounded.
They, too, needed to stop and rest.
After all, they had just recently become Saints, unlike those veterans who had been Saints for countless years.
"I recall that Ao Shan has a great opportunity awaiting him in this Moon Saint World."
Shen Mo mused to himself.
The dragonbone vessel approached the Moon Saint World and slowly docked.
The three of them concealed their auras and easily entered this small world.
