Ye Mo was not in a hurry to absorb all the Evil Energy in the cave. He noticed the further he went into the cave, the denser the Evil Energy became.

The tunnel was filled with the bones of martial artists who had wandered into the cave. Their bones were different. One of them was even gold.

“It’s been said that when a person has reached the True Energy Realm, their bones and muscles will be reinforced by the True Energy into a steel-like substance. The golden bone must have belonged to a True Energy Realm martial artist. The Evil Energy that lurks in this cave could even kill someone at that level,” Ye Mo thought. He noticed a jade-colored bracelet on the golden skeleton’s arm. It was made from a material unknown to Ye Mo that could withstand the Evil Energy. Most of the weapons in the cave were broken and rusted.

“Could it be that this bracelet is the Dimensional Bracelet?”

The Dimensional Bracelet could open up a dimension for the user to store their items.

Martial artists of higher caliber always wore a Dimensional Bracelet with them to store their weapons and pills.

Naturally, the price of the bracelet was very high. Ye Mo had never met anyone wearing such a bracelet in Limestone City.

It was a treasure where people would cover with their sleeve to prevent people from noticing they were wearing one.

“My dad used to have one, but it was lost after he’d lost all of his power.”

“The Dimensional Bracelet of a True Energy Realm martial artist must have a whole lot of treasures in it. It would be a waste to leave it here,” Ye Mo said and removed the bracelet carefully from the bone and put it on his own arm. He thanked the dead martial artist before leaving.

Ye Mo took a peek inside the bracelet with his Dragon Energy, wanting to check its contents. Yet his Dragon Energy was blocked by an invisible wall. No matter how hard the Dragon Energy struggled, it couldn’t break through the barrier.

The Dimensional Bracelet was shielded with True Energy. Ye Mo didn’t have the power to open it yet.

“If I can’t open it with one Dragon Energy, then I’ll use all of my Dragon Energies!” Ye Mo willed all of his remaining Dragon Energy in his Energy Center to the bracelet. The energies kept charging the barrier until cracks formed on it.

The Dragon Energy kept hitting the barrier. With more than hundreds of energies hitting the barrier, it finally gave in and exploded.

Filled with excitement, Ye Mo quickly checked the inside of the bracelet with his Dragon Energy. He’d found a shapeless space in it, containing all sorts of stuff. One of the items was a High-grade Bejewelled Weapon, almost on par with the Jade Sword. The other items included a few thousand Stabilizing Pills.

Buying everything in the bracelet could cost one of Limestone City’s bigger clans all of their fortunes.

The Dragon Energy kept on wandering in the Dimensional Bracelet and found another treasure. It was a simple jade scroll that contained a certain Cultivation Method.

“I’ve just advanced to the Spirit Cultivating Realm and still haven’t chosen what Cultivation Method to focus on. This might help!” Ye Mo quickly materialized the scroll into his hand.

By learning a cultivation method, martial artists could enhance their Energy Center’s power and infuse their Spiritual Energy with a certain element.

If the martial artist had trained themselves in Flame-based Cultivation Method, their Spiritual Energy would be imbued with the fierce and scorching hot flame element; if they had trained themselves in Water-based Cultivation Method, their Spiritual Energy would be imbued with the soft and humid water element. Of course, there were heresy groups that would train in other Cultivation Methods such as Poison Cultivation, Sex Cultivation, Murderous Cultivation, Blood Cultivation, and more.

“This Dimensional Bracelet is quite useful. I could even store my Formation-Breaking Spear in it,” Ye Mo said as he stored the spear into the bracelet.

Ye Mo held the scroll on his hand. He felt like the scroll was an ancient artifact that had survived through many ages. He opened the scroll and read the introduction.

“The Five-Elements Cultivation!”

The Five-Elements Cultivation allowed the user to change their Spiritual Energy into all five elements depending on their need.

The five elements were Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

“I never thought that such Cultivation Method existed! It allows the user to control all five elements at their will. Why didn’t the True Spirit Realm martial artist master it?”

Both martial techniques and Cultivation Methods could be classified by different levels. The lowest level was Spiritual, followed by Mortal, Supreme, and Diety. While most Cultivation Methods and martial techniques were written in books, some martial artists would carve them onto jade scrolls and imbue their souls into those scrolls.

The jade scrolls allowed people to learn martial technique or Cultivation Methods by simply focusing their Spiritual Energy on it. The downside was that these scrolls could only be used once.

Ye Mo finished reading the introduction on the scroll and noticed that it was a Low-grade Spiritual Level Cultivation Method. Most martial artists would not be attracted to it because it was the lowest grade of the lowest level.

There was no way that a True Energy Realm would throw away their own Cultivation Method and relearn a Low-grade Spiritual Level Cultivation Method.

“Even though this is a Low-grade Spiritual Level Cultivation Method, it’s still useful to me.” Ye Mo had never used his own Spiritual Energy to fight his enemies. He’d been relying on the Dragon Energy that held infinite amounts of power that belonged to an ancient deity that could stack on its own.

Even if Ye Mo were to learn a Deity Level Cultivation Method, his Spiritual Energy would never surpass the Dragon Energy. Ye Mo had even considered the Dragon Energy to be stronger than the power of gods and demons.

“Since I’ll be mastering my charm and weapon making skills, this Five-Elements Cultivation might be the best for me,” Ye Mo decided. He crushed the jade scroll in his hand as a cloud of Spiritual Energy flew into his mind’s Mortal Gate, helping him to understand the whole Cultivation Method instantly.

Ye Mo quickly sat down and started to meditate. His Energy Center started to work according to the Cultivation Method, and five Spiritual Cores began to form in his Energy Center. Each core represented a different element. The cores formed a circle and surrounded the Rising Dragon Pillar.

“Red Spiritual Energy!”

The red Spiritual Core began to shine, and rays of red Spiritual Energy were directed to all of Ye Mo’s Mortal Gates. Ye Mo extended two of his fingers, and a fiery red Spiritual Energy began to form around them.

Ye Mo recalled the red Spiritual Energy and summoned four other colors in succession. His Spiritual Energy could now control all five elements.

“What a wonder!”

“If I could master this Cultivation Method, I could fully control all of the five elements!” Ye Mo thought as he stood. He bowed to the golden bones before going further into the cave.

The Evil Energy became dense as Ye Mo continued to walk into the deeper parts of the cave. He finally stopped at a deep pit from where Evil Energies flowed out like an upside down waterfall.

Inside the pit laid a beauty wearing silver armor. The beauty had been dead for a long time, yet her body was still in good condition. She even had hair on her head. The beauty in it must be a martial artist of an unimaginable level.

The silver armor still hadn’t lost its shine, like it was compelling anyone who stood in front of it to kneel before it.

The endless amount of Evil Energy all came from a red jewel on the beauty’s hand.

“What’s that?” Ye Mo wondered just before he was struck by a series of spiritual attacks to his mind’s Mental Gate and fainted.

“Finally, after a thousand years, I’ve finally found someone who could enter this cave. I’m finally free!” A naked girl came out from a hidden cave and dragged Ye Mo’s body back inside of it.
