Chapter 711 Four of You, Divide and Give Me Ten Supreme Bones

In this situation, if Shen Mo attempted to command these beast overlords with only the cultivation of Nirvana, it would be nothing but wishful thinking.

If he were to assign them troublesome tasks, they would most likely throw the burden aside and refuse.

Thus, Shen Mo spoke in this way.

Each would handle their own matters.

He did not place himself in the position of a “new master,” issuing arrogant commands.

After hearing this, the Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree, the Black Death Sky Serpent, and the Crimson Blood Winged Tiger felt more at ease.

They truly feared that Shen Mo might act as their master and recklessly direct them.

Of course, even if he did, they would not directly harm him.

But they would quietly distance themselves, outwardly obeying while secretly defying.

The Azure Sky Divine Ox, however, was indifferent.

It simply raised its hoof to scratch its head, taking nothing to heart.

“Many thanks, master.”

The beast overlords spoke in unison.

The Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree said seriously, “If master needs anything, just speak.”

“However, we have signed contracts with the powers of East State. We cannot easily leave the Mangcang Mountains.”

“If master wishes us to follow, that would be difficult.”

Shen Mo gave a slight nod. “As it happens, I do have one matter for you to help with.”

“Supreme bones.”

“Are there any Supreme bones left behind within the Mangcang Mountains?”

The four beast overlords exchanged glances.

The Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree revealed a meaningful smile.

“Master, you’ve asked the right ones.”

“The Mangcang Mountains were once an important battlefield of the war between gods and demons. More than fifty Supremes fell here.”

“Though some of their remains were retrieved, many still lie scattered across the mountains, difficult to find.”

Shen Mo chuckled. “Brother Tree, does that mean you’ve obtained some of these Supreme bones?”

The Crimson Blood Winged Tiger grinned proudly. “Exactly!”

“From my own collection, I have no fewer than six!”

“And Big Brother Tree has even more. He’s older than us and has gathered the greatest number!”

Shen Mo smiled. “Brother Tree, as for those Supreme bones, could it be…”

Wherever placed, Supreme bones were precious treasures.

Even if the beast overlords could not use them, they could trade them with human Supremes for treasures they desired.

The Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree said solemnly, “As long as master requires them, all the Supreme bones we’ve gathered can be offered up.”

It too had its calculations.

Shen Mo’s aura brimmed with vigor; he was surely preparing to condense a Supreme bone and step into the Supreme realm.

Being able to tame two eternal flames and inherit the mantle of the Great Desolate Venerate proved his extraordinary talent.

It was highly possible he would condense a Heaven-grade Supreme bone.

But even if it were a Heaven-grade Supreme bone, at most only ten Supreme bones would be required to extract enough Bone-Purifying Liquid.

A mere ten bones—the beast overlords could still pool together.

Shen Mo’s smile deepened. “So as long as I need more Bone-Purifying Liquid, the four of you can continue producing Supreme bones?”

The Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree noticed something amiss in his tone, but still nodded.

“Master, rest assured, such a number of Supreme bones we can still provide.”

Shen Mo nodded with a smile. “Good. Then divide among yourselves and give me ten Supreme bones.”

Soon, the four beast overlords each brought out their private reserves, presenting ten Supreme bones in total to Shen Mo.

Among them, six were ordinary Supreme bones.

Only four were Earth-grade Supreme bones.

Within every Supreme bone lay a Supreme divine ability.

Yet only with Supreme power could they be activated.

But in Shen Mo’s eyes now, refining them fully into Bone-Purifying Liquid was clearly the greater use.

Mangcang Mountains, within a deep cavern.

Shen Mo sat quietly in cultivation.

Outside the cavern, the beast overlords stood in silence.

The Crimson Blood Winged Tiger spoke in a low voice, “Big Brother Tree, are ten Supreme bones really enough…? If he continues asking for more with such a lion’s mouth, what will we do?”

The Black Death Sky Serpent nodded. “Exactly. I only have four Supreme bones in total, and I was planning to trade them for ancient beast essence blood.”

The Azure Sky Divine Ox scratched its head. “If master wants them, just give them. What’s the problem?”

The Crimson Blood Winged Tiger and Black Death Sky Serpent both rolled their eyes wildly.

You only have two Supreme bones.

We have six or seven!

Of course you don’t feel the pain!

The Drooping Heaven Banyan Tree chuckled, its wrinkled face like ancient bark.

“Rest assured. Even for condensing a Heaven-grade Supreme bone, at most ten Supreme bones are needed to extract enough Bone-Purifying Liquid.”

“If he fails to reach Supreme, then it proves he is unworthy of being the old master’s heir. Any more Supreme bones he asks for later, we can outright refuse.”

“If he succeeds in breaking through, then he will no longer need more Supreme bones.”

The Banyan Tree smiled. “Do you understand now?”

The Black Death Sky Serpent and Crimson Blood Winged Tiger both exhaled in relief.

“We’re reassured.”

“As long as no more Supreme bones are needed.”

Inside the cavern—

Shen Mo tossed all ten Supreme bones at once into the Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron, allowing the cauldron to refine Bone-Purifying Liquid.

The Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron specialized in removing impurities and extracting essence.

He then drew out the Black Dragon Shears, intending to upgrade this sacred artifact with the Dao Inscription Stele.

Tai Er emerged from the Black Dragon Shears, trembling with excitement.

“Master! You truly are the best master!”

Shen Mo’s expression remained calm. He knew full well what Tai Er was thinking.

The Black Dragon Shears growing in rank also meant Tai Er’s strength would rise again.

And this rebellious spirit by nature would inevitably harbor defiant thoughts.

The process of fusing the Dao Inscription Stele into the Black Dragon Shears was even smoother than Shen Mo had expected.

Once it absorbed the principles of heaven and earth within the stele, the Black Dragon Shears became sharper than ever.

Its threads of razor qi even made the corners of Shen Mo’s eyes twitch, as though cut.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“The greatest mistake you’ve made is…”

Tai Er cackled, full of smugness.

But before he could finish, Shen Mo slapped him hard across the face.

At once, Black Rock appeared and suppressed him.

The Nine Nether Ice Flame flickered in Shen Mo’s palm.

Shen Mo’s tone was flat. “What is it?”

Cold sweat formed on Tai Er’s brow. “It is… it is that you should have used the Dao Inscription Stele to upgrade the Gilded Dragon Might Armor instead of the Black Dragon Shears. Master, I feel you chose wrong—Big Brother Black Rock is more important than I am.”

Shen Mo said calmly, “If it happens again, I will erase your spirit.”

The sweat on Tai Er’s forehead poured down like rain—though of course, as an artifact spirit, he had no true sweat.

“Master, I-I-I… I have always been utterly loyal to you!”

Shen Mo ignored his babbling and threw him straight back into the storage pouch.

He then sat cross-legged and hastened the burning of Dao inscriptions.

His tally was close to five hundred; the final step was within reach.

So he resolved to push forward in one breath, to strike five hundred Dao inscriptions, and then break into the Supreme realm!

Five years later—

Shen Mo finally ignited his five hundred Dao inscriptions.

His five Dharma manifestations had all reached perfection, without a single flaw remaining.

At the same time, the Bone-Purifying Liquid refined from ten Supreme bones had also been completed.

Looking at the treasures laid neatly before him, Shen Mo revealed a satisfied smile.

“Begin condensing the Supreme bone!”

“Assault the Supreme realm!”
