While Ye Mo was enjoying the bewildered gazes on him, a green tornado appeared. Ye Mo was carried away by the tornado before he could even do anything.

“Master?” Ye Mo was slightly shocked. He was at the top of a high mountain. An aged silhouette appeared with his back facing Ye Mo.

“Master? Why have you appeared so suddenly?” Although the old man had his back to Ye Mo, the white hair and the technique he used earlier told him that this was Elder Feng.

“Disciple, you went to Heaven’s Wall City?” Elder Feng indifferently asked with his back facing Ye Mo.

“Yes.”

“I saw the bounty issued on you when I went to the Heaven’s Wall City yesterday. What happened for you to have a bounty issued on you by the Cao Clan? That clan can almost do whatever they want in Heaven’s Wall City. A bounty issued by the Cao Clan will be in effect no matter where you run,” Elder Feng questioned.

Ye Mo told Elder Feng what happened, causing Elder Feng to frown.

“That Cao Zheng is extremely arrogant and had received guidance by the emperor himself. Of those in his age range, I think only Qi Ying could be a match to him. With him participating in the league war on behalf of the Cao Clan this time, he is probably aiming to take the three major leagues down a notch,” Elder Feng said.

“I know. Although that fellow is only at the True Energy Realm, the cultivation method he practices is of the lightning attribute and is extremely powerful. I am completely helpless against him,” Ye Mo said.

“How are you doing at Xuan Ji’s place?” Elder Feng continued asking.

“I am not sure myself. She is still indifferent towards me. Now that I have defeated Li Tianyang, the entire Qingyun League must be shocked. I suppose that will change Xuan Ji’s opinion of me as well,” Ye Mo said.

“You don’t have to be bothered about too many things for now. Your immediate attention should be on increasing your strength. I heard that Ye Changsheng has completed refining the Hellfire Pearl. His body has already transformed into the Hellfire Physique. He has already reached the Energy Shaping Eight Realm. This coupled with his Hellfire Physique and the Spirit of Hellfire he wields, you might not necessarily be his match,” Elder Feng continued reminding Ye Mo. He had long seen Ye Mo as his own child.

“If he has really reached Energy Shaping Eight Realm, it will really be quite hard for me to defeat him. This Ye Changsheng is indeed a troublesome character.” Ye Mo narrowed his eyes and sank into contemplation.

“Now that you have defeated Li Tianyang and are now number 10 on the Qingyun Ranking, I will be able to issue you a mission. But since you now have a bounty on you by the Tianwu Kingdom, your identity is very sensitive. Before doing this mission, you need to reach the level where you can form your wings. You also need to push your cultivation to an even higher level,” Elder Feng said and waved his hand. A book flew towards Ye Mo.

“This is the Iceheart Technique, a heart cultivation technique I used back then when I was demonized,” Elder Feng said.

“Demonized? Master, you were once demonized?” Ye Mo was shocked. The so-called demonization was an act of fusing demon blood into one’s own body to greatly increase one’s strength. In return, the person who did this would be controlled by the demon blood and transform into a demon that killed without thinking about it. The more the person killed, the deeper the person would slide towards the path of the demon. Eventually, that person would reach a point of no return.

Although a demonized person would obtain an increase in strength, these people would usually fall into depravity and ended up killed by other authorities. Elder Feng had been able to free himself from the path of the demon by using this Iceheart Technique. This proved that the Iceheart Technique was a very powerful technique.

“Yes. Back then, both your Martial Uncle Yun and I needed to kill an enemy. To kill him, I sank into the path of the demon. Eventually, it was your martial mother who had used Iceheart Technique to pull me out of the path of demon. This Iceheart Technique is a very magical heart cultivation technique. It will be quite helpful for your cultivation. After you master this technique, you can then start the mission. This mission is related to Yao Yue,” Elder Feng said before turning into wind and vanishing into thin air.

“Yao Yue? This mission is related to Senior Sister Yao Yue? Is she in trouble?” Ye Mo wondered.

...

Ye Mo was seated cross legged beside a lake. The wind blew past, rustling his hair. After killing Li Tianyang, Ye Mo became an Elite League member. With that, he was allocated a personal cultivation area.

He opened the Iceheart Technique book and saw many rows of words in it.

To keep one’s heart as pure as ice, to remain calm even if the sky collapses.

The myriad changes are predestined, harmony is maintained.

To be selfless, to stabilize the six senses.

To cautiously cultivate one’s Qi, to be unmoving and without desires.

This was the chant of the Iceheart Technique. Ye Mo sat down cross-legged and started cultivating it. The so-called Iceheart was not actually freezing one’s heart. Rather, it was an act of reaching a selfless state in unity with the Heart Minion that was formed in one’s heart during cultivation. It was an extremely mysterious state of mind.

With no distracting thoughts, one’s heart would be as clear as ice. Even with a huge disturbance from the outside world, one would not be affected. This was a state of mind where one would be unmoved regardless of what one faced.

By cultivating one’s heart, one would achieve selflessness. One would have an empty mind, forgetting even one’s own existence. The eyes, the ears, the nose, the body, and one’s emotions were the six senses would be fixed in place and remain unmoved by the outside world.

By gathering the Qi at the Energy Center, one would have no distracting thoughts. This might sound simple, yet it was extremely difficult to accomplish. Not even Ling’er had full understanding on this so-called selfless state of mind.

Ye Mo memorized the chant and silently sat on top of a boulder. The chant drifted about in the Mortal Gate in Ye Mo’s brain. Soon, he entered a meditation state.

To keep one’s heart as pure as ice, to remain calm even if the sky collapses.

The myriad changes are predestined, harmony is maintained.

Numerous seals were assaulting the Heart Minion. The Heart Minion started shuddering as it received the attacks of the seals. This was the effect of the Iceheart Technique chants. It did not cultivate the Energy Center. Instead, it cultivated the Heart Minion.

To cultivate the Iceheart Technique, one had to reach a state of selflessness. After he finished one round of the chant, the Heart Minion started slowly growing larger, as if he was going to burst out of Ye Mo’s body. Just as the Heart Minion was the same size as Ye Mo, he charged out of Ye Mo’s body and stood before him.

The Heart Minion had transformed into a different Ye Mo. Apart from his blank eyes, he looked completely the same as Ye Mo. His aura, strength, and cultivation level, everything was the same as Ye Mo.

“To master the Iceheart Technique, you need to reach the selflessness state. To reach the selflessness state, you need to first defeat me,” declared the Heart Minion. Not a single trace of emotion was present in those words.

“Ling’er, what is going on?” Ye Mo was astonished.

“You are not currently in the real world. You are in the world within your heart. Here, you won’t be able to contact Ling’er. If you want to leave, and if you want to master the Iceheart Technique, defeat me,” the Heart Minion declared.

“How hard can defeating you be?” Ye Mo looked around. Indeed, he was in a different place. He was no longer at his personal cultivation area. Rather, in this place, he was surrounded by nothingness. Before him was a different him.

“You won’t be able to defeat me,” the Heart Minion said calmly.
