“Clan Master Su, I seem to have remembered the identity of that ladies’ man,” Zhou Ping suddenly said.

“Tell me what you remember,” Su Mo replied.

“He should be the personal disciple to the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan!” Zhou Ping replied.

Su Mo finally remembered how he recognized the ladies’ man.

The Myriad Flower Blade Clan was truly reputable, and their clan master was an honest man. He was a Golden Core Realm expert, and some said that he had ascended to level three of the Golden Core Realm.

He was extremely picky with who he chose as his disciple, and within a hundred years, he had finally taken in a personal disciple. This disciple was naturally the young master of the Myriad Flower Blades.

The young master of the clan was an outstanding disciple. He managed to ascend into level ten of the Meridian Formation Realm before the age of twenty.

He was undoubtedly one of the most capable among the younger generation of the floating island, which was why the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades doted on him.

However, this had caused the young master of the clan to become arrogant and lawless. He once attacked mortal countries, which was a great sin in the Demonic Path. But it was later swept under the rug by the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades.

When the clan master did this, the young master became even more arrogant and began to run rampant. Until he met Su Mo, that is.

“Are we in trouble, Clan Master Su?” Shu Heshuo gulped as he asked.

“Don’t worry. We were the only ones in that area. As long as we keep our mouths shut, no one would find out. The Myrian Flower Blades shouldn’t be able to locate us. Let’s hurry and return to the village,” Su Mo replied.

The disciples pondered for a moment after hearing this.

‘There was no one around to witness what happened, so it would be impossible for others to know that we were the ones who killed that ladies’ man.’

Hence, they continued their journey.

…

Meanwhile, the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade clan was in seclusion, as he was suddenly disturbed by an influence.

“Huh? Something has happened to my disciple. Damn It! Who did this?! Men, find out who did this. You must find him and bring him to me!”

Following the roar of the clan master, the disciples of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan, which had been a notorious presence on the floating island for a hundred years, began a thorough search for the culprit.

The clan master cared deeply for his beloved disciple, so he spent a large sum of money to purchase a photographic talisman that would notify him if anything bad were to happen to his disciple.

This was why the clan master was the first person to receive the news of the death of his beloved disciple.

The clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan was protective of his disciple and did not care if the young master was in the wrong or right.

…

After two days of traveling, Su Mo, Zhou Ping, and the others finally arrived at the Crimson Heart Village.

The bull and porcupine could also be used as transportation other than a food source, which helped Su Mo and his disciples on their way home to the village.

Su Mo placed the low-leveled shrimps onto the bull and made it back to the village within two days.

But along the way, many people looked at him with strange expressions on their faces. The sight of Su Mo traveling with a female shrimp was odd to others.

“Random Mission Received: Build a suitable demonic beast habitat for the shrimps!”

“Reward: Increase cultivation level by one.”

Su Mo had just entered the village when the system’s voice attracted him.

“Damn, I love working hard!” Su Mo was immediately overjoyed.

Su Mo had yet to have a chance to ascend to the Golden Core Realm. But it seems as though the opportunity had just fallen onto his lap.

Su Mo immediately rushed to the side of the farmhouse and planned to build a suitable habitat for the shrimps.

“What’re you guys doing standing around? Quickly get those demonic beasts settled and come over to help me dig trenches so I can build a suitable habitat for the shrimps!”

Su Mo shouted at Shi Heshuo and the other three disciples, who were resting.

“Clan Master Su, the shrimps need fresh water to live. How should we solve this problem?” Shi Heshuo asked.

“Don’t worry about that. I have an idea,” Su Mo replied.

Just like that, the five of them began constructing the shrimp habitat.

But Su Mo disappeared shortly after showing Shi Heshuo and the others his designs for the habitat.

However, Su Mo did not slack off. Instead, he went to look for the underground river.

There was an underground river within Crimson Heart Mountain. Su Mo now needed to open up the underground river so that it would flow into Crimson Heart Village.

Su Mo accessed the underground river from the other side of the mountain.

After accessing the underground river, Su Mo did not hesitate. He determined the river’s flow, swung his fist, and a small creak appeared in the direction of the Crimson Heart Village.

When Su Mo saw that this method was effective, he quickly swung his fists continually.

Meanwhile, Shi Heshuo and the others began to pile bricks and dig holes.

On the other hand, Su Mo began to punch holes through the mountain to make trenches in the underground river, one punch at a time, leading the underground river to the Red Heart Village.

Nonetheless, because they were all cultivators, the process of building a habitat for the shrimp was reasonably straightforward. It only took half a day to complete.

“Can we trust Clan Master Su to do this? We’ve dug such a deep trench, yet there’s still no water to be seen,” one of the disciples complained.

“Clan Master Su would not lead us astray. We should keep working. Besides, shrimp usually live in deep water, so it’s better if we dig deeper,” Shi Heshuo replied.

“Alright then, let’s continue!” The disciples continued to dig.

“You guys go back to the top. I’m right below you!” Su Mo’s voice echoed from below.

The disciples didn’t question Su Mo and flew out of the trench.

After that, a silhouette of a fist flew forward, and water started to pour into the trench. Su Mo then took the opportunity to fly out from below.

The trench now resembled a swimming pool from Su Mo’s previous life, and there was a deep and wide hole near the farmhouse.

“Are you satisfied with the habitat we built for you?” Su Mo asked as he looked at the female shrimp beside him.

The female shrimp nodded excitedly.

“Ding!

“Mission completed. Master will be rewarded and ascend into the incomplete stage of the Golden Core Realm.”

As the system’s voice echoed, the magical power within Su Mo began to gather and compress until it shaped the embryonic form of the Golden Core Realm.

“There’s an incomplete stage? The Golden Core Realm is riddled with potholes. One look and it is apparent that this stage is inferior compared to the actual Golden Core Realm,’ Su Mo grumbled in his heart.

But since Su Mo possessed the embryonic form, he was now even closer to finally ascending into the Golden Core Realm.

Ordinary people would never acquire this incomplete stage of the Golden Core Realm, but Su Mo’s physique was too strong, which caused him to be stuck in this incomplete version of the Golden Core Realm.

“All right, you guys feed these demonic beasts and get some rest. I’ll be taking my leave,” Su Mo said to his four disciples.

“Take care, Clan Master Su!”

The four disciples then hurriedly packed their luggage.

Su Mo didn’t respond to them. Instead, he went to the outskirts of the village.

“Who are you, and what is your business here?” Su Mo asked as he looked at the person in front of him.

“Hmph, it seems that you are unaware of who you’ve offended. I’m from the Myriad Flower Blade Clan. Our clan master wants to have a duel with you,” the man said arrogantly.

The man knew that Su Mo was just a remnant of the Crimson Heart Clan and was not worth his attention.

“Then tell your clan master to come out and face me,” Su Mo answered expressionlessly.

“Our clan master is currently cultivating in private. When he comes out, he will surely take your pathetic life. Just sit down quietly and wait for your death!” The man continued.

“I thought that your clan master was a reasonable man, but I didn’t expect him to be an ignorant old fool! Tell him that I will be waiting for his arrival,” Su Mo said without fear.

“Hmph, if I were you, I would kill myself to atone for my crimes so as not to implicate others!” The man before Su Mo refused to forgive.

“Do you think that I won’t kill you?” Su Mo asked with a solemn expression..
