18 First Use of Evil Points [Brand of Chosen]
Mo Dao was 3 miles away from the village. The forest was lush filled with trees and vegetation.
TAT TAT TAT
Mo Dao tapped his acupoints on stomach and vomited everything out.
He picked up the bronze plates. After infusing Vital energy Mo Dao started reading them. Three elements divine technique allows one to contain three kinds of Vital energy in one body. Water, air and thunder all three elements form an equilibrium in the body and unlike single elemental technique the storage capacity for Vital energy also increases.
Mo Dao focused his consciousness on other bronze plate. Water Dragon transformation isn't one supernatural power but contains three. First phase is complete control over Water and transform it into Dragon. Second phase is about becoming one with Water and transform yourself into Dragon. Third phase is riding the winds and controlling thunder.
Mo Dao was fascinated just from reading it. Jong Xi hadn't completed first phase otherwise turning into water she could've easily avoided a serious injury from Spear.
Mo Dao adjusted his breathing and prepared his mind for breakthrough.
A while later he started circulating the Vital energy and he also operated Black Demon absorption opening all his pores. His body was absorbing the vital energy from surroundings like a suction. Wind, thunder and water elements were being absorbed while other elements were extinguished by Blazing Sun Fire.
Mo Dao opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

BOOM
There was a boom and all the trees were blasted away from Mo Dao. The Vital energy of the whole forest was stirred. Slowly Vital energy started revolving around Mo Dao. His body was absorbing the surrounding energy continously but it wasn't enough. A typhoon of Vital Energy surrounded Mo Dao all the vegetation and rocks were crushed into fine powder and Mo Dao will be crushed as well if he can't absorb the whole Vital energy to the point of saturation.
Mo Dao opened all his pores and the surrounding Vital Energy rushed like a dam was opened. Slowly Mo Dao felt his body was filled to brim with Vital energy this feeling of satisfaction he had never felt before. All his cells were absorbing the energy greedily and elevating his body to another level. It continued for whole 5 minutes then Mo Dao felt pain like needles were stinging inside his skin. His body was saturated but the funnel still kept ravishing but next second
CLICK
Mo Dao felt something loosening inside his body. All the pain and saturation was gone.
BOOOM
The whole typhoon was blasted away and a terrifying aura emerged from Mo Dao.
Mo Dao felt like he was flying in the air. But when he looked down he saw his body was still sitting cross legged on ground. There was no land all around him but a 100meter deep pit. Mo Dao was sitting on a single pole like structure. The land aroind him was completely destroyed by the Vital energy typhoon.
Mo Dao understood it was his soul which was flying the body was still down there. The feeling of being freed from flesh and blood was intoxicating. Mo Dao wanted to fly away but he was jolted awake from the revery and the soul flew towards his body.
When Mo Dao opened his eyes they were filled with fear. He had read many times that two tribulations appear during elevation to Grandmaster. One is being crushed to bits by Vital energy typhoon and other is when soul leaves the body. If the soul fails to return and goes away then body will turn into living corpse.
Many Masters ask other grandmasters for help during their breakthrough. That is to delay the typhoon and wake one up during soul sublimation.
Mo Dao let out a breath of relief. He waved his hand and surrounding Vital energy started rotating. With a single thought he can control all the energy in 100meter.
FWOOOSH
Mo Dao ignited the Blazing Sun Fire and all the trees in his surrounding started burning the Vital energy in the atmosphere itself was being used as a fuel. All remaining trees and residue turned into ash. The area under 100meter is his domain. A Master no matter how strong cannot make waves in his domain, just like Pe Wuxian had tossed Mo Dao like a ping-pong ball during their battle. Mo Dao still remembered that feeling, he'd felt it first hand like the world was against him.
A Grandmaster is the process of sublimation towards fusion of body and soul that is called sanctification. One needs to temper both his body and soul to the limits and achieve a domain atleast 1000meter in diameter. The next level is SAINT where a person is reborn from ashes.
Mo Dao doesn't knows much about a Saint but from the legends a single saint can erase Minghe in three moves.
Mo Dao erased his breath and traces. He disappeared, only the deep pit and scorched earth was left behind.
Mo Dao appeared in the village and all the preparations for the funeral was done. He did the ritual and paid some silver to neighbours. He thanked them and went inside his house.
Mo Dao decided to stay at the village for night. There was an update in panel and Mo Dao was eager to learn more about it.
In Minghe county
The whole county was in uproar. Death of Jong Xi shook the whole county. Many of her admirers cried bitterly and vowed to avenge her.
County guards and masters from three families cooperated not a stone was left upturned. They searched from houses to brothels and many suspects were captured. Those who did not entered legally and criminals it was a nightmare for them. But the culprit was still not found.
The search was halted without any success. Three families opened the county, law and order returned to calm. All merchants and people were in shock. The move was thunderous but was halted without success.
The reason was simple a guest had arrived from capital and he wasn't any normal guest but son of General Jun and child of a SAINT.
Jun Xiao was sitting on a chair in a luxurious room.
TAP TAP
His fingers were tapping the armrest of chair this was a sign to his inner turmoil. As soon as Jun Xiao arrived in Minghe county he saw that the whole county was sealed. After he reported his identity esort arrived from county lord mansion to pick him up but he denied and headed for Mo Family. But when he asked for Lin Que the reply baffled him. Lin Que had already left Minghe a week ago.
"Uncle cao, do you think that Mo Family is lying?" Jun Xiao asked his caretaker, he was a stage 5 grandmaster and looked after Jun Xiao since he was young.
"They aren't lying young master, I already checked county gates and she'd left Minghe with her entourage a week ago." Cao Min shook his head.
"Then did she left for somewhere else?"
"Young Master you know as well Miss Lin won't leave without informing Lin Baoshi, most likely she's dead."
Jun Xiao's fists were clenched and murderous intent was brewing in his eyes.
Just then a servant came and passed a slip to Cao Min. After reading Cao Min burned it
"Young Master we should start our search from Mo Dao's manor that was where Miss Lin stayed."
"Is it, this Mo Dao was also her fiance right?"
"Yes, Lin Baoshi proposed and Mo Family had accepted the engagement."
"Hey, what a bastard if it weren't for father how could he'd get a foothold in capital and he dares to go against my wish. Call that bastard Mo Dao I'll meet him personally."
"Young Master he's in seclusion, we'll have to wait for a while."
Jun Xiao felt uncomfortable, intruding into seclusion of a Martial Artist is a taboo. At least it can't be done openly.
"Young Master you've been invited by county lord. Tomorrow there'll be a banquet in county Mansion."
Jun Xiao approved to join the banquet. He'll wait for two more days if Mo Dao doesn't comes out from seclusion then they can't blame him for intrusion.
Jun Xiao called his maids to serve him.

Mo Dao was excited. The whole time he's been plotting and scrambling to harvest origin but now he can brand someone and that person can do the dirty work while Mo Dao reaps the benefits.
Mo Dao regretted not amassing enough Evil Points.
Mo Dao jumped out from his house and moved towards the house of village cheif.
"mmf..mmf ...ah...ah"
Muffled noises were coming from the house. Mo Dao understood what was going on.
Inside the house village chief was having sex with a women. He was on the peak of excitement and just about to bust his load but his excitement died in an instant
SLASH
He felt something hot and warm on his face and the moaning sound stopped. His eyes widened in terror but before he could shout a hand clasped his face and lifted him up.
Mo Dao lifted the village chief and left. Kilometers away he dropped the chief.
"Aargh... senior forgive me, please don't kill me I'll do-"
"Shut up"
"You, its you Zan Bejo. I'm sorry I only took some money from letters please don't kill me, I even looked after her for your sake." Mo Dao knew the guy was talking about Zan Bejo's grandmother but he had no interest in that.
SLAP
The chief rolled a few times and many teeths were knocked out.
"I said shut up."
It was quiet, Mo Dao nodded in satisfaction talk might not work but violence always gets the work done.
"Listen you've one chance surrender or die."
"I-I surrender senior I'll do anything you speak."
"Very good."
Mo Dao placed his hand on chief's head and a message popped up
[Target has not surrendered]
SLAP
Another slap followed by some more teeth flying. Blood was trickling down from chief's mouth and both his cheeks were swollen.
"I said you've one chance, next time I'll blow your head." Mo Dao was serious
"I understand senior."
Mo Dao again placed his hand on chief's head and another message popped up
[Branding an Innate Martial Artist-1000 evil points]
"Do it"
Next Moment Mo Dao felt like he owned this person. Just a single thought can blow his head. Mo Dao wanted to test him.
He lifted the chief and flew towards the village. He dropped a dagger before cheif and ordered.
"Go kill your son."
"What, senior please forg-...AAARRRRGGGGGGHH"
"Do as I say."
The chief was totally terrified he lifted the dagger with trembling hands and started walking towards the hut. Just thinking about the pain for defying a single order shakes him to the bone. He can't even kill himself cause a stinging pain destroys his reasoning the moment he thinks about defying this Man. He also understood that this person isn't Zan Bejo but an imposter.
After he entered the hut he ran towards his son and stabbed the dagger again and again till no breath was left.
Mo Dao checked the panel and origin points increased by 500 and evil points by 200. Chief is a stage 8 Innate and his son was stage 5 Innate. The last doubt also vanished from Mo Dao's mind. The Brand can even force a person to kill his own son there's no need for further testing.
Mo Dao looked at the chief who came out of the hut and a smile appeared on his face.
"Do you want to change your life?"
"P-Please speak senior I'll do anything."
"It's not about me but you, don't you want to live a luxurious life. The mundane life you've lived until now is repulsive, I can show you true world follow me and you'll have money, beauties and glory. Anything you want can be yours."
"But senior I'm just an Innate."
"You don't need strength if you have wits. As long as your performance is good enough you can follow me."
"Senior I'll do anything you say."
"Come to Minghe as soon as possible." He threw a pouch filled with silver to Chief
Mo Dao was satisfied, if this man wanted to continue this life he'll kill him without a doubt. But since Mo Dao invested 1000 evil points he'll have complete payback.
Mo Dao stared at the chief, the resentment had decreased a lot but it was still there. Mo Dao didn't cared if he wanted to ensure his survival then he'd to be ruthless.
"Don't blame me, blame [FILTH] he's the one responsible for everything I am." Mo Dao shirked it all on [FILTH] and the little guilt he had also disappeared with it.
Mo Dao flew towards Minghe with a new plan and determination but sometimes plans can't keep up with changes.
The Chief just started at the pouch in a daze. Tonight his life completely changed but no one knows if it's for better or worse.
