Ye Mo seemed to not know what Shi Taa thought and barely used Mist Lotus Heart Fire to stop the Li Ming Flame. However, sometimes he ran out of cultivation essence and spirit sense, creating some holes. Then, the Li Ming Flame would soon burn a part of the vines and Shi Taa would have to keep using his cultivation essence to regrow the vines to stop the huge mountain.
Shi Taa was extremely furious. He didn't know if Ye Mo was doing this intentionally or actually running out of cultivation essence. Vut seeing that Ye Mo kept eating pills, he believed Ye Mo was really running out of juice. After all, he was only a truth realisation state level two cultivator. He may be lucky enough to get the Mist Lotus Heart Fire, but his cultivation essence stores were far weaker than a truth realisation state peak stage cultivator.
