Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Immortal-Level Magic Robe, Karma Lotus of All Dharmas (Part 1)

"I haven’t thought of eating them. What I consume is the nature’s spiritual energy, mineral spirit veins, and demonic beasts of flora and fauna. Those insignificant beings, like ants, happen to be in this territory, and if they are to blame, it’s because they were too weak to escape before my attack!" The Soaring Serpent’s pupils contracted, immediately defending itself.

"By your logic, when you were captured alive and suppressed here, stripped of scales and flesh, you can only blame yourself for being too weak. What do you have to complain about?"

The Soaring Serpent still wanted to speak, but Shen Mo had lost patience to argue and struck the Dragon Piercing Stake onto its jaw again.

Their race, origin, disposition, and stance were all different; more words were pointless...

The Soaring Serpent belongs to the True Dragon lineage, and being at the peak of Class VI, it inherently believed itself stronger and nobler than the billions of creatures in Qing State, and "inadvertently" consuming them was no sin!

In view of this, Shen Mo didn’t insist it have compassion for mortal humans, just as he wouldn’t have compassion for demons; but since the Soaring Serpent devoured so many mortal humans from Qing State, it naturally fell into the demon category, and must pay for the blood debts it incurred!

Throughout the journey, Shen Mo has killed countless demons and monsters.

If a demon descendant or kin cultivates into a Great Demon with fearsome skills and seeks revenge on him, he would resort to force, feeling neither complaint nor regret even if he perishes!

...

After patrolling the Demon Zone, Shen Mo returned to Guanyun Mansion.

The mansion now felt a bit deserted; Zhao Lingyin stayed in the Dragon Heart Realm to cultivate, with Lu Taorui attending her, leaving only a few maid disciples in the mansion.

The Spirit Storage Rat Gongzi Yu, not far from Class V, transformed into a little taoist boy and went out to train with Shen Mo’s disciple Qian Xiaofeng, searching for treasures somewhere in the Corpse Mountain Range!

Another spirit pet, the Evil-eating Sky Centipede, was left in the Lower Realm by Shen Mo.

Due to the Stars Circulation Array refining the Qing Sheng Yuang Jun Law Body, the Dragon Heart, Dragon Claw, Dragon Horn, and other nine realms constantly spawned powerful tree demons; the routine task from Nanke Spirit Land included eradicating tree demons to prevent them from destroying the array’s formation patterns, allowing the Law Body to break free.

The problem was, after these tree demons were killed, they provided no useful spiritual materials.

Their remains and timber were extremely stubborn, useless in forging magic treasures, as cauldron materials for alchemy, or even for constructing buildings, leaving burning them the only option.

Once the tree demon bodies were burnt to ashes, they turned into a cloud of evil Qi, which even the Stars Circulation Array couldn’t refine, allowing it to disperse in the world, polluting the nature’s spiritual energy of the Lower Realm, and in time, birthing more bizarre demons in the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms!

However, the Evil-eating Sky Centipede could grow strong by devouring evils and evil Qi, even consuming leftover Qi from the Law Body in one bite.

Therefore, Nanke Spirit Land continued collecting tree demon corpses, accumulating evil Qi to feed the Evil-eating Centipede, thus both eliminating the evil Qi and providing the cultivators in the spiritual land with a profitable path!

After years of nurturing with Feather Transformation Stone Marrow, refining the remnant evil Qi of demon corpses, the Evil-eating Centipede has rapidly advanced in Realm; it successfully advanced to Class VI over ten years ago, and given the evil Qi from the Law Body, it might cultivate to the Formless Realm (Class VI) peak faster than Shen Mo.

Buzz!

Buzz Buzz!

A set of Big Dipper Swords flew out from Shen Mo’s robe sleeves, swiftly arranging a foreboding Sword Array isolating the inside from the outside, adding a layer of security.

Then, Shen Mo took out the Demon-Suppressing Tower, opened the bronze door, and walked inside.

The Blood Path Robe lay quietly in the fifth-level room even with the suppression of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, its inherent ominous aura was difficult to restrain; entering the tower, one’s heart would be flooded by mountains and seas of terror and despair!

But Shen Mo had the Heaven’s Mandate Blessing, allowing him to almost ignore the effects of the filthy blood.

Then, he took out a Jade Vase from his sleeve, cast a spell to draw out the spring water inside and began continuously washing the Blood Path Robe!

The Tribulation Crossing Jade Water that could calm the shapeless tribulation flames in the Three Disasters and Six Tribulations had limited effectiveness in cleansing the filthy blood; the best effect came from the Nine Phoenix Filth Removal Liquid, a celestial spring bought through a transaction in Dreamland with an Immortal Master in the late-stage Formless Realm from the southern Phoenix Continent.

By chance, this person acquired the celestial spring in a dangerous place, only obtaining more than a hundred liters. They used most themselves, leaving only thirty plus liters, all purchased by Shen Mo using high-grade spirit pills.

Washing the robe with Nine Phoenix Filth Removal Liquid, shimmering water light and spiritual radiance floated, with no usual sound of flowing water, but instead, there was the clear music of a phoenix and luan, faintly visible, dancing elegantly within the brilliance were 81 resplendent phoenix and luan, performing the music of Nine Emperors, bringing a sense of purity that dispels filth and evil, creating peaceful tranquility in the heart!

When only seven liters of the Nine Phoenix Filth Removal Liquid remained, all the filthy blood on the robe was washed away; though the robe remained tattered and torn, it was incredibly clean and clear, like it was made of the purest silk in the world.

And that aura of endless fear and despair disappeared without a trace, Shen Mo felt no discomfort even after removing the Heaven’s Mandate Blessing.

Simultaneously, the transformed filthy blood into vile celestial spring became disgustingly foul, the smell of blood everywhere!

Shen Mo took away these foul waters thereafter with a spell, placed them in another Jade Vase, and laid down layers of prohibition on the bottle.

Inside stored several dozens of liters of accumulated foul water from the past, all extremely filthy and stinking; he planned to fix the robe before processing the waters mixed with leftover evil blood of the past!

"What a celestial robe, even if tattered, its former glory is hard to conceal!"

Shen Mo shook the newly cleaned robe, donned the Dharma Eyes candlelight, and carefully examined it.

Then, he took out the piece of dragon scale from the Soaring Serpent’s heart, raised the Samadhi True Fire, and began forging it;

This dragon scale, even the Universe sword Qi could hardly cut and divide it, only bit by bit could it be forged and refined, followed by further processing.

Three months later.

Before Shen Mo, the Soaring Serpent Dragon scales as large as a palace door and numerous rare spiritual materials were gone, replaced by an immortal forged Dao robe as thin as cicada’s wings yet incredibly sturdy!

[You have successfully repaired the immortal-level low-grade magic robe "Ten Thousand Dharmas Karma Lotus Heavenly Immortal’s Garment", during the repair process, you gained much experience and insight into artifact forging, deepening your understanding of the Forging Path, artifact forging experience +1735.]

[In this process, you unexpectedly encountered an opportunity, Destiny Points +1.]

"Hoo-la!"

Shen Mo opened the Dao robe and inspected it carefully.

The robe’s format featured a front overlap reaching the calves, no sleeves cloak, sleeves length adjusting to the body, resembling gold and silver embroidery, naturally emerging exotic celestial lotuses;

Seemingly born from the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, it exudes an godlike and fantastical luster, involuntarily causing Shen Mo’s mind to become absorbed, as if witnessing countless Dao methods and magic’s profound transformations, momentarily feeling like standing in another mysterious world!
